August 25, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 39 CREAM OF OPERAS AT RAVINIA'S CLOSING (Continued from Page 23) Lazzari, Mr. Ananian and Mr. Pal- trinieri. Mr. Papi will conduct. Monday night, August 27, as special performance of "Fra Diavolo" will be given with the same cast which has been so successful in this tuneful and hilarious opera comique earlier in the season. Miss Florence Macbeth will be cast as Zerlina with Mario Chamlee as the romantic bandit of the title role. Virgilio Lazzari and Giordano Paltri- nieri will appear as the comical hench- men of Fra Diavolo while Ina Bour- skaya and Vittorio Trevisan will be equally amusing as Lord and Lady Rocburg. Mr. Mojica will be the heroic Lorenzo and Louis D'Angelo will be the inn-keeper. Mr. Papi will conduct. "Romeo and Juliet," the famous Gounod opera which is always wel- come at Ravinia will be given on Wednesday night, August 28, with Miss Queena Mario as Juliet and Ed- ward Johnson as Romeo. Leon Roth- jer will be cast as Friar Laurent. Others in the extensive cast are Miss Maxwell, Mr. Defrere, Mr. D'Angelo, Mr. Mojica, Miss Correnti, Mr. Pal- trinieri, Mr. Ananian. Mr. Hasselmans will conduct. "Madame Buterfly" Aug. 29 That beloved Puccini opera, 'Ma- dame Butterfly" could not be omitted from any specially selected repertoire and it will be presented at Ravinia on Wednesday night, August 29, with Mme. Rethberg in the title role. In this part Mme. Rethberg utilizes both her dramatic and the lyric style of singing proving her splendid versatil- ity as an interpreter. Mario Chamlee will be cast as Pinkerton, the Ameri- can officer, a role that fits him per- fectly, while Mme. Bourskaya will be Suzuki and Jose Mojica will be Goro. Louis D'Angelo will be Yamadori and Paolo Ananian will be heard as the Bonze. Gennaro Papi wil conduct. Thursday afternoon, August 30, the final children's concert and entertain- ment of the season will be given, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra playing the program under the direction of Eric DeLamarter. The numbers pre- sented will be chosen from among those given at other concerts through- out the season and the children will be asked to identify them by title and composer. The entertainment which follows will consist of a three set vaudeville show presenting The Machedons, horizontal bar experts; Friedlander Brothers, musical comics and Madame Marie and Pals in a com- edy circus. Children twelve years of age and under are admited free to these concerts. Reserved seats are free for everyone. The melodious "Martha" will be the offering Thursday night, August 30, and again Miss Florence Macbeth will be heard in the name part while Tito Schipa will be cast as Lionel, which is probably the favorite role of this great lyric tenor. Miss Swarthout Trevian will be Sir Tristan and Louis D'Angelo the sheriff. Louis Hassle- mans will conduct. Marouf" August 31 "Marouf" will be brought to its fourth performance on Friday night, August 31, this arrangement having been found necessary not only in view of the previous popularity of this work, but in response to the request of hun- dreds who have not had the opportuni- ty to hear it owing to the heavy de- mand for tickets. This new work has made a record for itself at Ravinia ful- filling all predictions made for it. It will be presented by the same cast which has given it heretofore, Mme. Gall being heard as the Princess, while Mario Chamlee will be cast as Marouf, the cobbler, around whose adventures all the action of this Arabian Nights Tale centers. Others in the cast are Mr. Rothier, Mme. Claussen, Mr. Mo- jica, Mr. Trevisan, Mr. Gehanovsky, Mr. D'Angelo, Mr. Paltrinieri and Mr. Ananian. Miss Ruth Page will head the ballet and Louis Hasselmans will conduct. The tenth week of the season will close on Saturday night, September 1, with another performance of "Lucia," Donizetti's brilliant coloratura opera which gives Tito Schipa splendid op- portunity for a display of his lyric style. Mr. Schipa will again be cast as Ed- gardo in this work, while Miss Flor- ence Macbeth will be the unhappy maiden of the title. Others in the cast are Mr. Basiola Mojica, Mr. Lazzari, Miss Falco and Mr. Paltrinieri. Mr. Papi will conduct. The Kenliworth Garden club was entertained last Friday at Mrs. Clyde Ross's home, 1321 Chestnut ave- nue, Kenilworth, for luncheon. The speaker at this meeting was Mr, E. Donald Gray, who spoke on landscape- architecture. Be an Effective Worker Spend Your Spare Time in Study on Worth-while Things The EVENING SCHOOL of the MOODY BIBLE INSTITUTE Cor. N.

Now most of us are still absorbed by the summer season but soon the serious problems of everyday life will again face us directly. If we have planned, we are ready." If not, we must act quickly and then sometimes not wisely. You may know that you intend to study art. Would it not then be wise to investigate now the schools of art before you go on your summer vacation? We shall be very glad to send an illustrated pros- pectus, or better still, we should like to have you come and pay our School a visit.
