The second half of the program will consist of an entertainment, a play "Ala Baba and the Forty Thieves" being presented by the Northwestern University Chil- | dren's theatre, directed by Margaret Krans and Marjorie Porterfield. All children twelve years of age and under are admitted free to these concerts. Reserved seats are free to everyone. "La Boheme," Puccini's colorful work of life as it was lived in the Parisian Latin quarter half a century ago, will be given on Thursday night, July 22, with another exceptional cast Lucrezia Bori, whose delineation of the wistful Mimi is one of the gems of her repertoire, will again be heard in that part, while opposite her, Ed- ward Johnson will sing the part of Rodolfo, in which he has had out- standing success, both as singer and actor. Giuseppe Danise will be heard as Marcello with Virgilio Lazzari and Desire Defrere completing the trio of Bohemians. Miss Margery Maxwell will sing the part of Musetta with its celebrated second act aria, and Paolo Ananian will be heard in the two character roles. Others in the cast are Coscia and Derman. Mr. Papi will conduct. Halevy's justly celebrated dramatic opera, "La Juive," which was in such demand last season that many per- formances of it had to be given, will be presented for the first time this season on Friday night, July 23. Elisabeth Rethberg is to interpret the title part in which her wonderful dramatic style will be given full op- portunity. This is another of the herculean soprano roles for which Mme. Rethberg is 'ideally fitted in every way. Giovanni Martinelli, whose portraval of Eleazer, the vener- able Jewish goldsmith, will be heard in this part again this year, and no finer character delineation is to be found on the operatic stage. Has Outstanding Roles Martinelli both sings and acts this part with an individuality that is ail his own. But "La Juive" has a trio of outstanding roles, the third of which is that of Brogni, the cardinal, which will be sung by Leon Rothier, basso, who is a polished example of French singing and acting, and who in this part has one of the best bass roles in opera. Miss Florence Macbeth will be cast as the Princess, a beautiful lyric part, while Jose Mojica will be heard as Leopold. Others in the cast are Desire Defrere and Paolo Ananian. Mr. Hasselmans will conduct. "Manon," by Jules Massenet, will be presented for the first time this sea- son at Ravinia on Saturday night, July 24. This is the French version of the delightful Manon incident. which' has been a prime favorite at Ravinia this year when given in its Italian form by Giocomo Puccini, un- der the title of "Manon Lescaut." It must be borne in mind that while these two operas follow in a general way, a similar story plot, they have been subjected to such different musical treatment by Massenett, the French composer, and Puccini, the Italian, that there is no similarity be- tween them. "Manon" as it will be presented at Ravinia on Saturday night of next week, is a brilliant ex- ample of the French school with an artfay of outstanding arias which are familiar to most opera patrons. Mme. Bori will be heard in the name part which she interprets much differently than she does "Manon Lescaut" but which gives her equal opportunity for singing and acting. Mario Chamlee will be the young DesGrieux, which is a purely lyrical part and which de- mands just such treatment as Mr. Chamlee is able to give it. Leon Rothier will likewise have an outstand- ing part as the elder DesGrieux. Jose Mojica, Ada Paggi, Desire Defrere, Louis D'Angelo, Philine Falco, Paolo Ananian, Virgilia Grassi, Carlo Coscia .and Louis Derman are all in the cast. Mr. Hasselmans will conduct.
