September 15, 1928 WINNETKA TALK of singing a new role each year, Miss Garden will appear during the coming season in "The Spanish Hour" for the first time in her career, and will pro- vide a very interesting evening when she appears in two contrasting operas --"The Spanish Hour"--and in "Jud- ith," Honegger's ultra modern work which was given its American premiere in the 1926-27 season. "Die Fleder- maus" (The Bat) will be given in Eng- lish, as will "Hansel and Gretel" and in German, "Lohengrin" and "Der Ros- enkavalier" (The Knight of the Silver Rose) will be heard. Varied and Interesting This repertoire is believed to be the most varied and interesting which has yet been given, providing works of all classes in English, French, Ger- man and Italian. The casts to interpret these operas will be selected with great care. Many new artists of international reputation will make their first Ameri- can appearances during the season, selected from the most famous houses of Europe; the list includes: Maria Olszewska, great mezzo-soprano, who is one of the outstanding personalities of the lyric stage and who has met with great success in all the numerous opera houses in which she has ap- peared; Eva Turner, English soprano, who, with Claudia Muzio and Rosa Raisa, will form the greatest trio of dramatic sopranos in any one com- pany; Marion Claire, the Chicago girl who has been appearing in Italian opera houses and also in Berlin; and Margherita Salvi, a young Spanish coloratura who has been singing in many of the large European opera houses. Favor American Artists The Chicago Civic Opera Company has always made it a point to provide opportunities wherever possible to young American artists either with or without European experience. Among those who will make their first ap- pearance with the company this sea- son are Hilda Burke, one of the prize winners of the contest before the American Federation of Music Clubs, and also winner of the scholarship of the Juillard Foundation which pro- vides free tuition in one of the Ger- man opera houses but which she de- cided to forego in order to appear with the Chicago company; Antonietta Consoli, American of Italian parents, born near Boston, and with consider- able experience in Italy; Alice Mock, lyric, coloratura, from California but whose operatic experience has all been obtained abroad; Patricia O'Connell of Alabama, with considerable experi- ence in operetta but with no foreign training; Ada Paggi, mezzo-soprano, born in Italy, bring to the Chicago company an enormous repertoire and wide experience; Giuseppe Cavadore, comprimario tenor; Ulysses Lappas, the Greek dramatic tenor who ap- peared for a few performances with the Chicago Opera Association a few vears ago; Barre Hill, young Ameri- can baritone who is quite well known over the country for his concert work and who has made some operatic ap- pearances in this country. Mr. Hill has had no foreign experience. Re-engage Stars Of course, the artists who have proved such favorites in former seas- ons have been re-engaged. This list includes Mary Garden, Edith Mason, Claudia Muzio, Rosa Raisa, Maria Claessens, Irene Pavloska, Cyrena Van Gordon, Antonio Cortis, Charles Hack- ett, Forrest Lamont, Rene Maison, Charles Marshall, Jose Mojica, Tito Schipa, Richard Bonelli, Desire De- frere, Cesare Formichi, Lugi Monte- santo, Giacomo Rimini, Robert Ring- ling, Vanni-Marcoux, Chase Baromeo, Edouard Cotreuil, Alexander Kipnis, Virgilio Lazzari and Vittorio Trevisan. Giorgio Polacco, musical director, will again have as associate conductor Roberto Moranzoni. No changes have | been made in the efficient technical staff. Charles Moor continues as stage manager. The complete productions have been fabricated in the unique plant of the company located at 26th and Dearborn streets, Chicago, under the supervision of Harry W. Beatty, the technical director. The Chicago company has consis- tently raised its standards from year to year and this list of artists insures an even higher standard for the 1928- 29 season. The company will take its usual post-season tour appearing in various cities in the country from Bos- ton on the east to Los Angeles and Oakland on the west, the tour continu- ing for approximately nine weeks.

Johnston of 321 Melrose avenue, who attends Dart- month, William Stedman of 330 Ab- bottsford road, who has gone to Wil- liams, and Bruce Hulbert of 316 Cum- nor road, who has gone to the Univer- sity of Michigan. 33 1 You Can Buy Furs Here With Confidence This September sale is an event of real moment--a time when you can select a FUR COAT at summer price.
