SEATS FOR RAVINIA' FIRST WEEK ON SALE Louis Eckstein Gives Complete Ticket Information to Patrons of Summer Opera Seats for the first week of the new season of Ravinia Opera and Concerts, which opens Saturday night, June 23, will be placed on sale for the general public at the box-office at Ravinia this Saturday morning, June 16, at 10 o'clock. It is necessary to advise the public that for the opening performance of the season, Saturday night, June 23, and for the performance of Sunday night, June 24, the subscribers to the guarantee fund have the first call for tickets and until these have been served it is impossible to determine what seats will be available for general sale. If mail orders cannot be filled, the money will be refunded. For the last few weeks Louis Eck- stein has been deluged with inquiries from those who expect to attend the performances at Ravinia this season. For the benefit of these inquirers he ati il I, Sera TT Rings for Brides and Brides-to-Be When buying diamond wedding rings at NELSON'S | you are assured of a 4 guarantee that the stones are exactly as represent- | A CC ed.

The box-office, Mr. Eckstein explains, will be open every day during the season including Sundays, from 9:30 o'clock in the morning until 10 o'clock at night. Residents of the north shore towns from Evanston to Milwaukee may secure telephone connection with the Ravinia box-office by calling Highland Park' 2727. This is a double line, thereby preventing congestion as much as possible. Plan of Reservations Seats 50 reserved, however, must be taken up by 10:30 o'clock the following morning, or check sent to the Ravinia company, Ravinia, Illinois, by mail or otherwise, to reach the box-office at that time, and tickets will be mailed or held as requested. If reservations are made on the day of the perform- ance for which they are desired, the tickets must be paid for before 5 o'clock in the afternoon. For the benefit of those who desire to order tickets in advance, and who find it more convenient to have them held until called for, an arrangement which has been entirely satisfactory in the past will be in vogue again this year. Under this plan those desiring such accommodation will make a de- posit of $20, for which a receipt will be given. Seats ordered in advance will then be held until called for at the box office by the depositor, but must be paid for at that time to leave the total amount of the deposit intact. There can be no returns, cancella- tions or exchanges, nor may depositors transfer their rights to the use of others under this plan. When tickets so ordered are not called for, they will be charged to the depositor. These deposits may be made at the Ravinia box-office after June 16, or may be made at present addressed to The Ravinia company, 36 South State street, Chicago. The deposits will be returned at the end of the season in September. Give Scale of Prices Then comes the question of prices. The general admission at the gate is $1, but coupon books are sold at $18 for twenty coupons. The reserved seat prices for the opening night ac- cording to location, will be $4.50 and $3.50. For all other opera nights, ex- cept gala nights (to be announced) and closing night, the prices will be $1.50 $1.75, $2.50 and $3. On Monday con- cert nights there is no charge for re- served seats, the $1 general admission at the gate covering everything. In addition to the splendid trans- portation facilities it enjoys, Ravinia has always been a paradise for motor- ists, the roads from every direction stretching through some of the most beautiful portions of the north shore. As a convenience to the thousands who arrive by motor car, two extensive parking spaces are maintained, one at the Sheridan road entrance, and the other at the Green Bay road entrance. These are adequate in every way. There are ample box-office accom- modations at Ravinia to facilitate the delivery on the evening of the per- formance, of tickets which have been ordered by mail or telephone. The proceeds from the White Ele- phant sale which was held last month by the Ridge Avenue circle will be used to send two mothers to the summer camp at Algonquin. This was decided by a committee appointed for this purpose. --(-- Senior Lawn week was held last week at New Trier. This fashion of allowing the seniors the freedom of the front campus the week before graduation is fast becoming one of the traditions of the school.
