On Thursday afternoons the orchestra gives the first half of the program in connection with the program especially prepared for the children. On Saturday night, July 3, the "Barber of Seville" will be given with Charles Hackett as Count Almaviva. On Sunday, "Aida" with Florence Easton, Alice Gentle and Morgan Kingston in the leading roles. : On Thursday afternoon, July 8, beginning at 2:30 o'clock, the Children's afternoon program will open with Community singing led by Miss Florence Crane who is well known along the north shore for the pleasing and constructive work she has done with the children. Mr. and Mrs. Marx Oberndorf will give an interpretation of the musical numbers to be played by the Chicago Symphony orchestra that afternoon. Mrs. Oberndorfer (Anne Shaw Faulkner) was the originator of this form of advance musical information for the listener and was for many years the director of the Program Study classes of the Chicago Symphony orchestra, conducting class- es for both children and adults. The talks will be illustrated at the piano. To have the privilege of giving our children the very best instruction and illustration to be had in this form of music and then to have them hear it ideally interpreted by the Chicago Symphony orchestra under ideal surroundings, is indeed a rare privilege and one of which we hope every mother of growing children living on the north shore, will avail themselves. All children. under 14 years of age will be admitted free to the Park on Thursday afternoons, and no charge will be made to children or adults for reserved seats in the pavillion. The last half of the program we are to have "The Story Lady", Miss Georgene Faulkner, in beautiful Greek costume, tell the story of Persephone, and she will be accompanied by Mr. Francis A. Arnold.
