Civic Opera Season Reaches Half-Way Mark in Next Week The sixth week of the current sea- son of grand opera, presented at the Auditorium theater by the Chicago Civic Opera company, marks the half way point of the seasonal efforts of this great lyric organization. Only six more weeks of opera remain before the company stages its last performance, and then begins its annual post sea- son tour to the principal cities of the United States. Reaching the apex of its brilliant term at its historic home, the civic opera continues to attract large audi- ences through the virtue of the ex- cellent repertoire and casts presented to the public. The wide variety of its seasonal activities presents a still more favorable outlook, when a casual glance is given to what is in prepara- tion for music lovers for the balance of the year, With the exception of two or three artists still to be heard, the week's repertoire embraces the entire per- sonnel of the company, all cast in the roles in which they have earned the acclamation of critics from all over the world. Outstanding Lyric Works Then, too, several operas are in- cluded, which for their spectacular scenic effects and beautiful music scores, make them outstanding lyric works, adding enthusiasm in musical circles, and prompts all who have the interests of good music at heart to rejoice in the inclusion of these mas- terpieces at this time. "Don Giovanni," Mozart's delightful composition, scheduled for Wednes- day evening, December 12, will be the first performance of this melodious work since the 1926-27 season, when it was revived after a lapse of almost eleven years. This opera taxes the resources of all but the great opera companies, for the cast requires three sopranos of exceptional caliber, a great lyric tenor, a baritone of great sing- ing and dramatic ability, and three good bassos. The scenery, newly built for its revival two years ago, is considered one of the high lights of its presentation, and the many scenes, ten in number, have all been dressed in the most modern fashion, which as- sures for all an evening of unsurpassed vocal and scenic splendor. Schipa Here Dec. 9 An earlier performance of the week, Sunday afternoon, December 9, "Lakme" brings Tito Schipa to the front in his second appearance this season with the Chicago company. "Lakme" was one of the earlist suc- cesses in his operatic career, and he will appear with the charming color- atura-soprano, Alice Mock. Joseph Sears Opens Intra-Mural Soccer The intra-mural soccer season is under way at the Joseph Sears school in Kenilworth and will continue until January, when the speedball season opens, according to Robert W, Town- ley, athletic director at the school.
