20 WINNETKA TALK September 4, 1926 Chicago Boy Drowns in Lake Off Kenilworth Christian Hammelehle, a 19 year old boy living at 452 St. James place, drowned while swimming with two friends Saturday afternoon at the north end of the Kenilworth shore line. Christian. had waded about 300 feet into the lake and started swimming back to the shore with his friends. As they neared the beach, Hammelehle and Herman Vodrech, who were with him, sank. Hans Bear, the other boy who was swimming with them, came to the rescue of Vodrech. He swam back after Hammelehle while guards rech, but they could not bring Ham- melehle to although the guards worked for over an hour. Police could not account for the sudden sinking of the boys, as the wa- ter is not very deep at that point and there are no treacherous holes where a swimmer might be caught unawares. Their theory was that the boys had eaten something before they went in swimming which had given them cramps when they went in the water. Mr. and Mrs William P. MacCrack- en, Jr., 1427 Edgewood lane, have gone to Washington, D. C., for a short time. v They will move their family perma- on the beach were resuscitating -Vod- | ently to Washington in October: Hub to Remain Open Three Nights a Week Starting today, the Hub, Henry C.

'REVIVE COMIC OPERA Century Theatre Comic Opera Com- pany of New York Comes to Audi- torium in Chicago The coming of the Century Theatre Comic Opera company of New York to Chicago's Auditorium theatre for a limited engagement, beginning Sep- tember 1, is announced by the Messrs. Shubert as the beginning of a regular system of comic opera revivals. The first two weeks, "The Mikado" and "H. M. S. Pinafore," will doubtless be followed by the bringing down to the present public of other classic light operas in other seasons. The plans include not only the Gilbert and Sulli- van masterpieces but also the composi- tions of other great composers Of comic opera and its Continental coun- terpart, opera comiques. Two seasons ago the Shuberts began the policy of making a big comic opera revival each spring, the first of which was "The Mikado." Last season the second spring offering was the spec- tacular presentation of "H. M. S. Pina- fore" in the Century theatre. Other selections for future re-staging were De Koven's "Robin Hood," Plan- quette's, "The Chimes. of Normandy," and Balfe's, "The Bohemian Girl." These plans were the result of the remarkable renascence of real comic opera on Broadway in the past few vears, of which the remarkable sucgess of "The Student Prince," "Princess Flavia" and others are samples. The Century Theatre Comic Opera company comes to Chicago for a short engagement this fall to determine whether this form of amusement is to precede Chicago's regular annual sea- son of serious opera in the Auditorium each year in the future. Similiar plans contemplate the inclusion of the Bos- ton Opera House, the Chicago Audi- torium and other large opera houses in a circuit with the Century Theatre in New York as the producing center. Milton Aborn, who staged the en- tire presentations of "The Mikado" and "Pinafore," -is delegated by the Shuberts take charge of their elabor- ate comic opera program for the fu- ture. The cast for the former opera in- cludes what they term an ideal cast of Gilbert and Sullivan comedians and singers, including Frank Moulan as KO-ko, William Danforth as the Mikado, Charles E. Galagher as Pooh- Bah, the New Japanese soprano, Hisa Koike, as Yum-Yum, Stella De Mette as Katisha, William Clark as Nanki- Poo, Celia Branz as Pitti-Sing and Jean Beverly as Peep-Bo, with Max Hirschfeld as musical director. Mr. and Mrs. B. Heinig and their daughter, 788 Walden road, and Mr. and Mrs. Carl A. Abrahamson and their daughter, 762 Walden road, spent the last week-end visiting Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Laser, 418 Provident avenue, at their log cabin near Pelican Lake, Wis.
