Closes Season With Verdi's Famous Work. The Chicago Civic Opera Company completed a season of four perform ances on dates scheduled for \Wash- ington, with one udditional gratis per- formance Friday afterncon, last night, when Verdi's “Rigoletto” was the con cluding opera. In this series of five operus the company has shown many admirable things, although several un fortunate substitutions were necessi tated by iliness. The complete cancel ing of the opening opera, “Otello." due to Charles Marshall's iliness in Balti more on Tuesday night, was to be regretted, as was the inability of Titta Ruffo to sing the title role of Rigo- letto last night. Richard Bonelll proved an able substitute, however, singing the role excellently! ‘Carmen” Is Brillian. ‘The most brilliant of the five per formances which the Chicago Grand Opera Company presented here dur- the past week was that given Bizet's “Carmen’ yesterday afternoon The audience filled the house practi cally 10 the capacity of 6,000 people and included muny distipguished in dividuals in social and official circles led by Mrs. Calvin Ceolidge in a front box.

Ernesto Torti, Lodovico Oli viero, Gildo Morelato and Elizabeth Kerr completed the cast. The chorus was good and the settings and cos- ming were adequate.

This evening he arose from a sick bed to depart for Cleveland. where he will sing with the Chicagn Civie Opera in “Otello” and “Tosca." He departed against the wishes of his doctor. Ruffo canceled his Raitimore en gagement last Monday and his Wath ington date early today. He wired the directors of the Chicago Civie Opera he would be unable to sing because of fliness. “I would have gone to Washington and Baitimore if only to show my willingness. but my doctor said it would be imprudent,” he said The singer's voice was husky and at intervals he would burst into par- oxysms of coughing. Hix face was wan and drawn, clearly showing the effects of his lllnese. Before leaving the hotel for the train his secretary bundled him up in order to safeguard ngainst more cold.
