_ Thr Higblands Park Press "Martha" July Foutth ‘ That popular light opera "Martha" will be the special holiday offering on Monday night. July 4th, taking the place of the orchestra concert usualâ€" Iy scheduled for Monday nights. It goes without saying that "Martha" is a work having universal appeal for all opera lovers, for it is replete in melody; it tells a charming romantic story, and is especially well suited forâ€" holiday presentation in view of the fact that it reaches a happy endâ€" img. Miss Macbeth will again be heard in the title role, while Mr. Chamlee will be opposite her as Lionâ€" el. The work of these two artists in these parts is wellâ€"known to all Raâ€" vinia patrons. Miss Macbeth makes Martha a funâ€"loving girl, filled with the spirit of mischief. but who sucâ€" cumbs gracefully to the call of româ€" ance. . Mr. Chamlee‘s beautiful lyric voice is perfectly adapted to the love arias in which this work is replete. and his singing of that â€" wonderful song "M‘Appari" is always considered one of the high spots of a Ravinia season. Madame Bourskaya and Mr. Lazzari will be heard as Nancy and Plunkett, _ respectively, _ supplying much of the good fun which is an enjoyable. feature of this celebrated opera. Mr. Trevisan will be cast as Sir Tristan, with Mr. D‘Angelo as the sheriff. _ Louis Hasselmans will conâ€" ‘The second calendar week of Ravinâ€" in Opera and Concerts will begin Sunâ€" day afternoon, July 3, with the regâ€" ular Sunday concert by the Chicago Symphony orchestra, under the direcâ€" tion of Eric DeLamarter. _ Jacques Gordon will be the soloist, and an atâ€" tractive program has been prepared. French Opera "Carmen" Sunday Sunday night will bring the seaâ€" son‘s first presentation of . "Carmen," which is not only one of the greatest operas of the French school, but which enjoys universal acclaim. . It is upon this work that the fame of the French composer, Bizet, rests, and had he written nothing else he would be well entitled to his place in the hall of immortals.. Madame Ina Bourskaya will be heard in the title role, this being a part which is emiâ€" nently suited to her colorful personâ€" ality, and which she endows with that splendid genius for acting which marks everything she does. Edward Johnson will appear as Don Jose, a heroic tenor role which makes unusual demands upon the histrionic ability of any artist. â€" Mr. Johnson finds this role particularly suited to hig, as he not only sings it with complete comâ€" mand of all its vocal possipilities, but likewise makes it an outstanding piece of acting. | Marie Basiola will be heard as Escamillo, and his rich baritone voice is eminently well fitâ€" ted for the splendid music which Biâ€" zet has provided for this part. and which includes the Toreador song. Florence Macbeth is cast as Micaela. July 5th, "Andrea Chenier‘ In view of the fact that hundreds who were anxious to hear "Andrea Chenier" on the opening night of the season could not be accommodated on this occasion, Mr. Eckstein has sched~ uled a repeat performance of this work for Tuesday night, July 5th, with exactly the same cast as that which inaugurated the season. Maâ€" dame Rethberg will appear as Madeâ€" leine, one of opera‘s greatest dramatâ€" fe soprano p-r; while opposite her will be Giovantii Martinelli in the title role, which he plentifully enâ€" downs with his superb genius for draâ€" matic singing and effective acting. CGiuseppe Danise will be heard as Gerrard, the revolutionary leader, a part which gives him every opportunâ€" ity for display of the richness of his woice. _ Others in the cast are Maâ€" dame Bourskaya, Miss Swarthout, Mr. Mojica, Mr. Defrere, Mr. D‘Anâ€" welo, Mr. Paltrinicri, Mr. Ananian and nvmu mA HAS given early presentation this year.

The ideas of democracy which it created have overturned old systems of government throughout most of the world, and have led to the giving of more freedom and better opportunities to people all over the world. An event like that comes pretty near to being about the biggest thing that.ever happened in human affairs, and it is natural enough that the people of Illinois have always wanted to make some noise about it. But after all it was a very wonderful event that took place on July 4, 1776, and it is natural enough that they should get a little excited about it, and keep observing it for many years in a somewhat boisterous way. â€" â€" e â€" There is heavy demand every seaâ€" som for Massenct‘s beautifol opera "Manon," and it is good that fimm-::'uh OUR NATION‘S BIRTHDAY The American people have been rather overâ€"noisy in past years %eelebminx their national birthday, and no doubt in time they vill be able to think up more sensible ways of spending the holiday than in making a racket.

"Romeo and Juliet" Again As the demand for seats on the secâ€" ond night of the Ravinia season was far greater than could be accommoâ€" dated, another performance of "Româ€" eo and Juliet" the opera presented at that time, has been arranged for Friâ€" day night, July 8th. Again Madame Bori will be heard as the youthful Juliet, with Mr. Johnson as Romeo. This very popular French work has no finer exponents of its name parts than these artists, whose beautifu} singing gives poignant meaning to the Gounod score, and whose splendid acting measures up entirely to the demands of the dramatic version. As Juliet, Madame Bori is girlish and apâ€" pealing, laying stress upon the fu.'t‘ that love will find a way despite all obstacles that may be placed in its path. Mr. Johnson is a dashing and impetuous Romeo, and is entirely worthy of his visâ€"aâ€"vis. Mr. Rothier will again be heard as Friar Laurent. Vthers prominently cast are Mr. Deâ€" frere, Miss Maxwell, Mr. Mojica, Correnti, Mr. D‘Angelo, Mr. Ananian and Mr. Paltrinieri. _ Louis Hasselâ€" mans will conduct.

Maâ€" dame Rethberg is to be cast as Mimi,l a part in which she has won the enâ€" thusiastic admiration of Ravinia paâ€" trons in scasons past. . She utilizes her rare vocal beauty in the interâ€" pretation of this role in such a manâ€" net that she brings forth every shade of meaning which Puccini has put into NUMBER 18 Drivers Urged to Use Care At All Times; Don‘t Pull Out In addition to the Highland Park engagements, the Chicago Art Theâ€" atre will appear, beginning Saturâ€" day night, July 9, every second week in the theatre of the lfni\'ersityfi Church of Disciples at 57th street! and University avenue, in order to’ enable residents of the Midway to conveniently attend the company’sl programs.

Louis D‘Angelo has an excellent part as an inn keeper. Gennaro Papi will conduct. The theatre of the Moraine hotel is well suited for summer performances as it is built for cooclness and may be opened into a semiâ€"openâ€"air audiâ€" torium.
