Americans like tunes they can

The seventeenth pop concert

Chicago Opera to Present ling, is performed by a great com-
pany like Chicago Civic Opera's,
"Carmen."

The Spanish beauty who made a
slave of a soldier and tasted his
steel when she tossed him ruthless-
ly aside for a bull-tighter, has had
many imitators in real life but none
has proved so vivid as "Carmen."
Others have lured their thousands
and Carmen her tens of thousands.
Georges Bizet's opera, "Carmen,"
was first performed in Paris in
1875. Today more people flock to
hear and see "Carmen" than ever.
The story never grows old, perhaps
because it never grows cold. It is
dressed up in music adventurous,
bold, passionate, tender, whimsical,
gay. In rich trappings not seen
outside grand opera, the richest of
the arts, and sung by artists, any
one of whom would get a large sum
for appearing all alone, "Carmen"
will be given at the beautiful Ma-
sonic Auditorium in Detroit by the
Chicago Civic Opera Company with
Mary Garden in the title role.
Musical director Giorgio Polacco
will conduct.
