But "Pagliacei" and "Cavalleria Rusticana" are ever popuâ€" lar with opera. patrons the world owgr and there is reason to know that they. will be received with the same enthusiastic ~appre= ciation that greeted them on the opening night of the season which has gone before. ° For ‘"Pagliacci," Miss Queena . Mario will appear as a guest artist, singing the role of Nedda, while Giovanni Martinelli _ will have his inimitable role of. Canio, â€"in ~which he sings . the famous "Lament.‘" Giuseppe Daâ€" nise will be cast ag Tonib and will, of course, sing the Prologue, while George Cehanovsky will ba Silvio and Giordantbâ€" Palfrinieri will be Beppe. â€" Mme. Elizabeth Rethberg will be cast as Santuzza in "Cavalleria Rusticana," this being a role of which she is especially fond and which she sang for the ‘first time in her career at Ravinia a few seasons ago. This part contains all of those dramatic posâ€" sibilities for which Mme. Rethberg is so splendidly endowed and its arias likewise reâ€" quire. that â€"lyric quality which she possesses inâ€"abundance. Mario Chamles is to be Turâ€" riddu,. one of the best roles in the repertoire of ‘this ponular tenor and Mario Basiola, baritone, will be .Alfic, Miss Swarthout will appear as Lola and Miss Cofrenti as Mama Lucia:â€" Gemnars . Papi will conduct both Luela. operas + La Rondine July 16 . Tuesday night, July 16, will bring the long Awaited opera, "La Rondine,‘ in which that favorite of later dayâ€" Italian composers, Giaâ€" como Pirecini, reveals himself in a new mood. The title of this work means "The Swallow," which is applied ‘figurativelyâ€" to Magda, â€" the favorite of a wealthy banker, who, despite the luxury . that â€" ker unsavory alliance has brought her, still dreams â€" of â€"berâ€" innocent youth and of the. poor young student , who was her lover. In hor heart there burns the desire that another love of this kind may come â€"into her life and that through it she may ‘find that happiness which wealth canâ€" not buy.. So Madga throws aside the luxuâ€" rious garments to which she has grown accusâ€" tom>»i and â€"dons those of a poor girl. "No one will recognize me now" she says to herself as she regards her vision in a mirror, and thus disguised she goes forth to seck a love that is a real love instead of the flattery which. her wealth has brought her. It is then that she meets Ruggefo.â€" C ~~~~~ ‘"‘Thais" July 17 4 Massenet"s ‘"Thais" will be the offering on Wednesday night, July 17. this being the first time this seasom thig work has been presentod. lt .was in the title of ‘"Thais" thet Mm:a. Â¥vonne Gall made one of her ;car‘y appearances at Ravinia as a < guest artist two seasons ago and in which she has achieved many triumphs ‘since. "Thais" is typical of the fairly modern French school of composition, a sehool in which Mme. â€"Gall hrs been carefully trained in the opera houses of Paris. Giuseppe Danise has a splendid part in this opera, that of Athanael, in which the splendor of his voice is utilized with full effect. Others im the cast are Mr. Mojica, Mr. D‘Angelo, Mr. Cehanovsky, Miss Swarthâ€" out, Miss Maxwell and Miss Falco. Mr. Hasâ€" selmans will conduct.

Da Falla‘s unusual and colcrful Spanish opera, which was introduced into the Ravinia repertoire during the season of 1926, will be presented for the first time this year on Friday night, July 19, and it goes without saying that Mme. Lucreza Bori will be heard as Salud, the ‘Spanish gypsy° girl whose love turns to tragedy when she disâ€" trovars the deceit of Paco, the young dandy to whom she has given her heart. There is no more exotic ~role in the whole of opera than this, and no artist could interpret this rols more faithfully than does Mme. Bori, who, being of Spanish birth, has .a perfect knowledge of all classes of Spanish people. Jose Mojica, who like Mme. Bori, is of Spanâ€" ish blood, will appear opposite the soprano as. Paco, an outstanding rols." Mme Boursâ€" kaya â€" willâ€"beâ€" heard â€"asâ€"the Grandmother, a splendid character â€"part, and Louis D‘Angelo will be Uncle Sarvaor. ‘"La ~Tosca,"~_another of Puccini‘s most representative works which has not been pressnted this season, will be given on Saturâ€" day night, July 20, with Mme. Gall in the name part, Giovanni Martinelli as Cavaraâ€" dossi, Giuseppe Danise as Scarpia, Vittorio Trevisan as the Sacristan, and Louis D‘Angelo a% Angelotti Mr. Paltrinieri and Mr. Anaâ€" r;ian complete the cast.. Mr. Papi will conâ€" duct. + ; apiat Promptness Urged ~ Efforts are being made by «the Ravinia management at present to induce lateâ€"comers to be ‘on*time for the opera ~performances. There seems to be gome misunderstanding on the part of many as to what time the Ravinia performances bogin. The regular time â€"forâ€"the â€"eurtain, â€"Mr. Ecksteinâ€" says, is 8:15 p. m. and that the abdience may be in their seats before that time a buglar now sounds the assemblycall by way of notice. Th3 second of the seriesâ€" of i\-ati;?;lai‘vé;)â€"nfl- certs will be given at Ravinia on Sunday afternoon, July 21, and will consist of : "An Afternoon of German Music and German Comâ€" posers."~ The ‘program to be given by the Chicagoâ€" Symphony orchestra, .under the diâ€" rection of, Eric DelLamarter, will include works by such celebrated German composers as.

Mr. Hasselmans will conduct. â€" Reo Startles Truck Industry; New Model Motor of High Speed A totally disinterested statistical firm recently went back into the ‘hisâ€" tory of Reo speed wagons and checked sales and registration figures together. ‘They found these remarkâ€" able facts:â€" > â€" On July 1, 1928, there were 96,481 Reo speed wagons registered in the United States. This was 4,756 more than had been sold in the U. S. durâ€" ing the entire six and oneâ€"half years from Jan. 1, 1929, to July 1, 1928. . _ 83.2 per cent of all the Reo speed wagons sold in the U. S. the preâ€" vious seven and oneâ€"half years were still registered July 1, 1928. 80.3 per.cent of all the Reo speed wagons sold in the U. S. the previous eight and oneâ€"half years were still regisâ€" tered on July 1, 1928. And 50.8 per cent of all Reo trucks sold since 1913 were still registered on July 1, 1928. Reo has again startled the indusâ€" try with new speed in large capacity trucks. The new gold crown engine, a Reo engineering development which engineers and â€" transportation speâ€" cialists say marks a new era in comâ€" mercial hauling, is the source of this astonishing new performance. But, in its development an even greater long life record has been sought as well as speed and economy. _ Utterly new materials were develâ€" oped for it. For example, cylinder blocks are cast of chrome nickel alloy iron, with seven times the endurance of conventional closeâ€"grained iron. A remarkable new type low éxpansion piston has also been introduced in the gold crown engine, made of an alumiâ€" num alloy which is so tough that it cannot be scratched with a sapphire, the next hardest thing to a diamond. Naturally, with such a low expansion rate, this piston can be fitted more closely than the ordinary type and results in greater power and permaâ€" nence of power. # * Scientists Invent Machinery As Needed How a scientist is forced to invent new machinéry while making difficult orâ€"wholly new investigations in to the unknowns of science is shown in a multiple exposure xâ€"ray machine perâ€" fected by Dr. G. L; Clark, head of the xâ€"ray division of the department of chemistry of the University of Illiâ€" nois. . s .Dr. Clark, who is an expert in inâ€" dustrial xâ€"ray work, was faced with the problem of making a number of small ‘xâ€"ray pictures of materials at the same time. There was no such machine on the market, so he proâ€" ceeded to build one according to his needs. A single xâ€"ray tube now does the work of many and speeds up the work of his. laboratory many times.
