“Eternally Yours”

Opera, which played 936 consecutive performances at the New York

World's Fair and which will night at Ayres’ auditorium.

The troupe consists of 200 puppet Stars,

loads of scenery and equipment, all created by Ernest Wolff, 25-vear-old ‘Chicagoan.. The actual singing is done by such artists as Pons, Tibbett, Martinelli, Jepson and Crooks, all by means of recordings. The operas will be enacted before scenery which duplicates, at one-fifth scale, the sets used at the Metropolitan, Chicago and Scala Opera Houses. The puppet actors are manipulated from beneath the stage. Monday night's bill will be a two-hour version of “Aida.” Thereafter there will be three performances daily at 12:30 9 and 3:30 p. Mm. “Aida” is to be repeated, in an hour-long condensation on Tuesday, “La Traviata will be Wednesday's attraction; “Carmen” will be given on Thursday; the double bill “Pagliacci” and “Cavalleria Rusticana’ ‘on Friday, and “Rigeletto” Saturday. The engagement is sponsored by the Sunnyside Guild. Irwin A. Shane, the company
