Grand Opera in Chicago Made More Popular by
Skillful Management.
The second act of "Faust" sung (tonight) Nov. 10
by the Chicago Civic Opera Company, will be broad-
cast. It is one of the generous actions that is popu-
larizing the grand opera company.
The tremendous claim upon public interest made
by the opening bills of the Chicago Civic Opera
season characterizes the repertoire and casts chosen
for the immediate future at the Chicago Auditorium.
Favorite operas have their due place in the list, which
is further enhanced by the inclusion of several notable
revivals.
"Tannhauser" will be repeated as the bill for the
big special suburban Sunday matinee (Nov. 13) with
Leone Kruse, Cyrena Van Gordon, Forrest Lamont,
Heinrich Schlusnus and Alexander Kipnis in th
cast, and Henry G. Weber conducting. "II Trova-
tore," which enjoys an immortality it shares with
only a few other operas, will be staged on Monday
evening (Nov. 14). "Martha," another work highly
cherished in popular favor, will be sung on Tuesday
evening (Nov. 15) by Edith Mason, Tito Schipa and
Virgilio Lazzari; Moranzoni conducting. Wednes-
day brings a repetition of "Loreley," with the same
cast which rcintroduced the work to the repertoire.
The third complete week will open Thursday (Nov.
17) with a double bill in which "I Pagliacci" will be
coupled with Massenet's short and intense dramatic
work, "La Navarraise." This opera, revived after a
decade, is to be entrusted to Rosa Raisa, Charles
Marshall and Edouard Cotreuil. Charles Lauwers
will conduct.
Blair & Brodrib, operating a chain of general music
stores in Waterbury, Bristol and New Haven, have
just opened a new branch at 170 Main street, New
Britain, Conn., with George D. Noel as manager.
