June 12, 1926 WINNETKA TALK TICKETS NOW ON SALE FOR RAVINIA SEASON President Eckstein Answers Questions Regarding Reser- vations and Other Matters Seats for the first week of the new season of Ravinia opera and concerts, which opens Saturday night, June 26, will be placed on sale for the general public at the box offiec at Ravinia, | Saturday morning, June 19, at 9:30 |" o'clock. Mail orders will be received in the meantime and prospective pur- chasers who desire to make reserva- tions by mail at this time should ad- dress The Ravinia company, 36 South State street, Chicago. It is necessary to advise the public that for the open- ing performance of the season, Satur- day night, June 26, the guarantors have the first call for tickets and until these have been served it is impossible to determine what seats will be avail- able for general sale. If mail orders cannot be filled, the money will be re- funded. For the last two weeks Louis Eck- stein has been deluged with inquiries from those who expect to attend the performances at Ravinia this season, and many questions have been asked. For the benefit of these inauirers he has issued a statement setting forth the information that is in demand. The Ravinia box office, Mr. Eckstein ex- plains, 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 those towns from Evanston to Waukegan may secure telephone connection with the Ravinia box office by calling High- land Park 581. This is a double line, thereby preventing congestion as much as possible. Seats so reserved however, must be taken up by 10 o'clock the following morning, or check sent to The Ravinia company, Ravinia, Ill, to reach the box office by that time, and tickets will be mailed or held as may be de- sired. If reservations are made on the day of the performance for which thev are desired, the tickets must be paid for at the box office 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 arrange- ment which has been entirely satisfac- tory in the past will be in vogue again this year. Under this plan those de- siring such accommodation will make a deposit of $20 for which a receipt will be given. Seats ordered in ad- vance will then be held until called for at the box office. but must be paid for at that time to leave the total amount of the deposit intact. No Cancellations There can be no cancellations or ex- changes, nor may depositors transfer their rights for the use of others, un- der this plan. When tickets. so or- dered are not called for, they will be charged to the depositor. These de- posits may be made at the Ravinia box office, or may be made by mail addressed to The Ravinia company, 36 South State street, Chicao. The de- posits will be returned at the end of the season in September. Then comes the question of prices. The general admission at the gate is $1, but coupon books are sold at $18 for twenty coupons. Reserved seats for the opening, closing and gala nights of the season are $2.25, $3 and $3.75. On all opera nights the reserved seats sell at $1.25, $1.50, $2, $2.50 and $2.75. On Monday nights, which are always devoted to symphony concerts, there is no charge for reserved seats, the $1 general admission at the gate covering everything. In addition to the splendid transpor- tation facilities it enjoys, Ravinia has always been a paradise for motorists, the roads from every direction stretch- ing through the most beautiful por- tions of the north shore. As a con- venience to the thousands who arrive by motor car, two extensive parking spaces are maintained, one at fhe Sheridan road entrance and the other oC at the Green Bay road entrance. These . Permanent Wave are adequate in every way. A new E as well as any other branch and enlarged box office has been of first class beauty culture established at Ravinia this season to WOK. facilitate the delivery of tickets which Ph Winnetka 933 have been ordered by mail or tele- . { 2 Faons anes he i phone, on the evening of the perform- i Women's and Childrens ance. t Haircutting The Comfort Shop Miss Jennie Anderson | | E "Mrs. Chas.
