April 14, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 23 COURSE TICKETS BEST FOR N. S. FESTIVAL Business Manager Hilton Shows . Advantages of Subscribing to Entire Series Business Manager Hilton has put in the mails the program for the twentieth annual offering of the Chicago North Shore Festival association. There are eleven soloists, a special male chorus of one thousand voices and Karl Reckzeh as a guest conductor, in ad- dition to the Festival chorus of six hundred, the grand organ, the A capella choir and the Chicago orches- tra. Mr. Hilton calls attention to the fact that the buying of course tickets is of mutual advantage to the Festival association and to the ticket-holder. It gives the Festival association financial support in advance and the patrons are favored with better seat locations and five concerts for the price of four. The concerts are designed to be equal in artistic quality and entertainment value. The male chorus is to sing the eve- ning of Thursday, May 24. Its num- bers will be Schubert's "Great is Jehovah," the favorite Pilgrim's Chorus from Tannhauser, and the "Tand-Sighting" of Grieg. With the male chorus as soloist that evening will be Miss Dorothy Speare, the modern wonder-child. Her selections are "Charmant Oiseau" from La Perle de Bresil, and the Mad Scene from Lucia. For the first concert Monday, May 21, the orchestra will play Wagner's March of Homage and the Festival Chorus will sing the Manzoni Requiem. This is the evening of the recognition of local soloists--Mme. Isabel Richardson Molter, of Wil- mette, soprano; Mme. Alvene Res- seguie, of Evanston, contralto; Mr. Fugene F. Dressler, of Evanston, tenor; and Mr. Rollin M. Pease, of Evanston, baritone. These four have the solo parts in. the Requiem, and Mme. Molter will sing the Aria "Hall of Song," from Tannhauser.
