WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 1923 13 Ravinia Club Anxious for Guarantee as Season Opens HE advance sale of tickets--the coupon books--for the coming Ra- vinia season is now being carried on with a house to house canvas in all the towns from Evanston to Wau- kegan. In some of the towns the pre- vious quotas have been nearly reached but in others the ticket sales have never gone so badly and the splendid working committees have met with discourage- ments. This state of affairs is beyond belief in a district as high class as the north shore towns. Ravinia is now an established institu- tion and famous all over the world--it is not a philanthropy. Many people have such an absurd idea but only because they never go and live from season to season in. smug ignorance, to their own great loss! The days of "pioneering" for Ravinia are over. The campaign committee need only to remind the north shore residents annually that Ravinia is a civic duty, the neglect of which re- flects upon the individual citizen no mat- ter what his means. People thought nothing a few weeks back of buying theatre tickets for such long. run plays as "Lightning" and "Sal- ly" weeks in advance and at grand opera prices! The Ravinia company asks only that you buy the gate admission tickets in advance (and at reduced rates at that) as a definite money guarantee and pledge of your support--a loan of less than thirty days, that's all--and for which you' receive your full money's worth many times over!! When the ticket solicitor comes to your door, Mr. and Mrs. North Shore Resident, please remember that she is your neighbor and she is giving her time unselfishly because of her civic pride and because she is a woman who stands for culture and better things. Don't treat her like a peddlar and if you really cannot afford to advance money for your Ravinia recreations tell her so frankly. Don't be disagreeable and say you are are not "interested" because if that were true you would not be living in these beautiful suburbs, where we have fresh clean air, fine schools, refined neighbors and artistic surroundings!! You would be living, instead, in an ugly stuffy apart- ment in the city or a dark block house with a tiny back yard full of ashes and clothes lines of clothes and you would send your children into the streets to play and to the amusement parks to "shoot the shoots" and see unspeakable vaudeville for their summer recreations! But you live where you can send your children for ten whole days during the summer to a beautiful wooded garden, where they have a playground, without restrictions, can be taught how to listen intelligently to our great symphony or- chestra and enjoy varied programs of taste and benefits inestimable. The com- ing season will be the greatest in the history of Ravinia--world famous sing- ers and conductors, and the Chicago Symphony in concerts as well as opera. "Mrs. William Sutherland of Glencoe, is president of the Ravinia Club this year; Mrs. Ralph Poole of Lake Forest, first vice-president; Mrs. Annette R. Jones of Highland Park, second vice- president; Miss Juliette Brown of Ev- anston, treasurer; Mrs. Howard Fenton of Winnetka, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Arthur Byfield of Highland Park, recording secretary; Mrs. Maurice Man- deville, and Mrs. George S. Parker of Winnetka, Children's Day committee. --n The University circle, composed of the wives of the faculty of Northwest- ern university, is producing a revival of "The Pirates of Penzance" Thurs- day evening, June 14, for the benefit of the new woman's campus buildings. The opera will be staged in Patten gymnasium and all the decorations used for the North Shore Music festival will be in evidence. There will be a chorus of fifty voices, and a cast drawn largely from the faculty of Northwestern School of Music. Osborne McConathy is the musical director and Charles H. Jones is the stage director. Taking part will be Rollin Pease, Charles E. Lutton, Eugene Dressler, Mrs. Ernest Ashton Smith, Loyal Phillips Shawe, Walter Allen Stults, Mrs. Monica Graham Stults, Mrs. Claire Livingston Hansel, Mrs. Charles C. Wells, and Mrs. Ruth Emery Riddell. Mrs. Omera Floyd Long is president of the organization, and Mrs. Arne Oldberg is general chairman of the benefit. SE) Invitations will be issued this week- end for the marriage of Miss Irene Mar- garet Rioux, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Louis J. Rioux of Evanston to Rufus S. Palmer of Evanston, to take place on the evening of June 27, at the Rioux home, 714 Reba Place, Evanston. Miss Rioux is rather well known in Winnetka. The summer season at Ravinia opens June 23. A fine array of artists has been engaged. Elizabeth Reth- berg, a dramatic singer who stands first in the ranks of dramatic so- pranos in Europe and Josephine Luc- chese, who has made a big hit as a leading singer with the San Carlo company, Florence Eastman, Gaziello Pareto, Margery Maxwell, and Ina Bourskaya are among the well known and well-liked sopranos. Two famous tenors will make their debuts at Ravinia; Tito Schipa, who is a big favorite with Chicago opera- goers, and Giacomo Lauri-volpi, who was a notable addition to the Metrop- olitan last year when he made his debut as the "Duke" in Rigoletto. Also we will hear Armand Tokapyan, Morgan Kingston, Danise, Ballester, Rothier and Lazari. With such a group of artists the thirty-four operas which Mr. Eckstein has tentatively listed for the summer will surely be well presented. Members of the Ravinia committee of Winnetka are busy selling the season coupon admission tickets for Ravinia. By buying these books in advance the purchaser is guarantee- ing his support to Ravinia. In ad- dition he benefits himself for he does not have to wait his turn at the box office to buy tickets and he receives an extra ticket. The purchaser can also leave a deposit at the box office at Ravinia and telephone in his order for reserved seats. The committee is anxious to sell if possible, more tickets this year than ever before, and everyone is urged to stand back of Ravinia and buy these tickets now. Winnetka is being thoroughly can- vassed by a large committee but if anyone who has not been called on will telephone Mrs. Arthur R. Dean, Winnetka 241, someone will call to receive the subscription. --_--O-- Miss Elizabeth Webster Duffy, who has won her way into the hearts of many of us, through her presentation of "Peg" in "Peg O' My Heart," and in other plays given in the past years by the North Shore Players, became the bride of Elisha Gray Stubbs, son of Mrs. William C. Stubbs, of Highland Park, last Saturday evening, June sec- ond. The marriage service read by Rev. Douglas H. Cornell, in the Glencoe Union church, at eight-thirty o'clock, was followed by a small reception for the families and more intimate friends at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Armour G. Park, 379 Jackson avenue, Glencoe. The bridal gown of white crepe satin, was trimmed in pearls, and the veil of rosepoint lace is an heirloom which was worn by the bride's mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. 'A shower of lillies of the valley and sweet peas com- prised the bridal bouquet. Miss Constance Park, her sister's only attendant, wore a frock of pink crepe, a coronet of pink rosebuds encircled the head, and she carried an arm bouquet of garden flowers. Barbara and Phyllis Park, two small sisters of the bride, served as flower girls, wearing blue and pink trimmed frocks of white net, and carrying old fashioned bouquets of gar- den flowers. Large sprays of apple blossoms and lilacs formed the decorations both in the church and the home. Mr. and Mrs. Stubbs will pass their honeymoon in California, and after July 1, will make their home in Berkeley, Cal. rl : Skokie Country club announces a Din- ner and Dance on the evenings of Sat- urday, June 9, 23 and 30.
