Rethberg will be heard again in the name part. She has scored outstanding success as the Egyptian slave girl this season, for she is vocally endowed with the tonal power the music of this role exacts, and she likewise has the tonal beauty which makes it possible for her ta achieve the most subtle shades of in- terpretation. Mr. Johnson is well equipped to give splendid account of himself as Radames. Mr. Basiola, who will 'be heard as Amonasro for the first time this summer, has on other occasions proved himself equal to the demands of this role. Mme. Claussen will be Amneris, Mr. Lazzari the high priest Ramfis, and Mr. Ananian, the king. Mr. Papi will conduct.

Ballet Feature Sunday The national concerts which have been given at Ravinia this summer have proved to be tremendously popu- lar with those who have sought an en- tertaining Sunday afternoon, and al- though the strictly national complex- ion which has distinguished these pro- grams will not be in evidence Sunday afternoon, August 12, Mr. Eckstein has planned another form of program which will be so unusual in scope that it will make a direct appeal to the people of all nations, and will have special charm for those who love the beauties of dancing. It is to take the form of an orchestra program of bal- let music, presented by the Chicago Symphony orchestra, Eric Del.amar- ter, conductor, and having Alfred Wal- lenstein, 'cellist, as soloist. After the intermission, Miss Ruth Page and Ed- win Strawbridge, will appear in a spe- cial program of ballet divertisements. Miss Page, who has been the premiere danseuse at Ravinia for sev- eral seasons, has won for herself a reputation which is rapidly becoming international. Immediately after the close of the present Ravinia season she will sail for Japan where she will appear during the coronation festivi- ties. The divertisements which she will present at Ravinia on Sunday af- ternoon, August 12, are among those in which she will appear during her engagement in Japan. The regular children's concert and entertainment will take place on Thursday afternoon, August 9, the pro- gram being presented by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Mr. DeLamar- ter conducting and explaining the num- bers played to the juvenile audience. Harry Barnhart, the originator of com- munity singing in America, will be the feature attraction of the entertainment. Children twelve years and under are admitted free to these concerts. Re- served seats are free for everyone.
