Official Cadillac-La Salle Service GYPSIES AND BEAR THRILL AT RAVINIA Specialty Performances Augment Orchestra Concert for Chil- dren's Concert By R.L.P. What a gala day it was on Thurs- day afternoon, August 11, at Ravinia Park! Two extra numbers by the orchestra, an accordionist who played popular song hits, gypsy dancers and a huge trick bear! There were about a hundred Tribune guests with Sally Joy Brown there too, so everyone was particulary eager for things to get started. Perhaps Eric Del.amarter, conductor of the orchestra, thought he would catch us all on the story of "A Mid- summer Night's Dream," but we fooled him, didn't we? Most of us remem- bered all about the fairy king Oberon, Titania the queen, that mischievous creature Puck, and the six "Casey" actors who gave the funny impromptu play. They weren't many who forgot that the author was Shakespeare, either! Play Mendelssohn Music Mendelssohn's music inspired by "A Midsummer Night's Dream" was played. The Overture was supposed to represent the fairies wandering around airily in the woods, being deli- cately lost in it. Then the "Casey" actors gave their play, with one of them putting on a donkey's head--that must have been when the tuba played. The bassoon and the French horn popped in occasionally, to take the parts of the other actors. The Noc- turne that followgd was very sweet and dignified--a contrast to the lively Scherzo. The Scherzo gave Oberon's boast that he would put a girdle around the earth in 40 minutes, so the music was boastful and snappy in a fairy, tinsel-y way. The Wedding March that came next was a piece we've all heard many times. Wasn't it gay? The two extra numbers, played in honor of the guests of the afternoon, were "The Bumble Bee," by Rimsky- Korsakov, and a stirring patriotic one with "Columbia the Gem of the Ocean" and "Dixie," which Mr. DeLamarter let us sing, and "Yankee Doodle," which we wanted to sing, but couldn't do so because it went so fast! Accordionist Thrills The gypsy man with his accordion was a lot of fun, playing all the songs we wanted him to play, and letting us sing "Mary Lou," "In a Little Spanish Town," "O Sole Mio," and others. I wish we could sing the symphony numbers as well! Perhaps we could, if they had words. After a breezy dance by two gvpsy maids, a gypsy man came in leading the largest trained bear we've ever seen. When he stood up on his hind legs he was seven feet and 10 inches hich. He came from Russia, the man said, and weighed 780 pounds. He did the "Black Bottom" dance, and the "Hulu-Hula," in his lumbering. ponderous way, and then he turned into a soldier bear. He showed how to "shoulder arms," "parade dress," "salute," and finally pretended to be shot and dropped on the floor as if he were quite dead. Didn't we shriek when he ended his act by wrestling with two men? The Ralph Varneys of 535 Cherry street have prolonged their vacation and are at present at Upper Lake Osakis.
