A' Th: e Comrades Ivan Cankar players presented one of the most hilarious come- dies last Sunday evening when they presented “Vozel” a com- edy based on Croatian life. Ali of the characters and there were only six, executed their parts with a finesse and deftness which showed that they knew vvhat they were about. Beautiful and Educational Of especial beauty were the Croatian costumes vvhich were worn on this occasion ,unusual but nevetheless they made up a sort of educational background which the Slovenes do not see often. The whole play was good and well done. Thofigh there may be reason to complain of the attendance at the performan- ce beeause the Ivan Cankar players have promised to give the proceeds to the Unemploy- ment Fund which is being made np by individual subscription or by contributions of the cultural societies from the proceeds from the performances. Plot Outline The play began with the leav- ing of the husband on a business trip just after he has been mar- ried, leaving his wife without a match to light the larhp. Another villager comes to the home and when she.lights the lamp and steps off the chair he kisses her while the younger sister sees this through the window and mistakes the villager for the hus¬ band. Complications begin amid very embarrassing situations. The youthful girl with her high moral code gets everyone suspicious of each other; even the father of the bride gets suspicious of his wife. The whole is solved by misunderstandings which turn out very happily. Leading Roles Wejl Dona Mrs. Simčič in the role of the younger sister, Bojka, had the hardest role by far but did it with a grace and ease shovving her histrionic abilities. Mr. Fr. Bradač in the role of Perisa played his part very well mak- ing his acting score at every op- portunity. Though we, person- ally, were not especially impress- ed with the promiscuous oscula- tions which took plače, vve per- sonally believe that it is good and proper vvhen the action calls for it but, too much is too much, and, we claim that last Sunday there was too much. “Humph” The character of the old father played by Mr. Anton Eppich with his unforgettable ‘ humph was one of the outstanding as far as the laugh producing went. Though he was not the most important he vvill be one character which will be remembcred for his part. Possibly the best characterization of the type which was portrayed last Sunday was done in connec- tion with the part played by Mr. The plans of the Slovene Sem¬ inar which the Jugoslav (Slo¬ vene) Club has sponsored have not been completely laid and cer- tainly the series has not been completed when the members of the club have been already busy with the plans for the Third An¬ nual Dinner-Dance which is' cus- tomarily held on Easter Monday. This year the same plans will hold true and invitations, per- sonal, as vvell as by mail, have been sent out to people inviting them to attend the annual social affair of the club.

COMRADES TO CELEBRATE 5th ANNIVERSARY WITH SHOW Ten Items On the Program Prom- ise to Be Treat of Comrades Ten items are on the program of the Comrades when 'they will give their Fifth Anniversary pro¬ gram next Month. To be exact the program will be given on Sunday, April 19th at the Slo¬ vene National Home. If the Comrades. have any- thing to say about it they will have everybody remember the program which they will beeause it will include such a variety and such a wealth of talent that it will undoubtedly be one of the outstanding things which the Comrades have attempted. Even the number of items on the pro¬ gram should not be a thing which should be appealing beeause it vvill b e a program of snap and motion. The program includes an open- ing song by the Comrades Hovv- dy Chorus, an Address by the President, a Piano Duet, a Cycle of Blues, a Snappy Duet, a Sax- aphone Solo, a short but comi- cal play “His Father s Gone South.” a Closine Chorus and an evening of dancing by the Vir¬ ginia Nite Hawks. Included in the program is a great deal of talent which the local people al- ready know plus a lot of new talent which is expected to show that there is real originality and real talent whic.h has not shown itself as yet. There is stili time to think of going but immediate action is the thing which will make reservations secure. ideals of Slovene clubs, societies, institutions and organizations, that of bringing out the .finest feelings in a human being, the love of fellow-man, the love of culture, the love of an ideal. Through the efforts of Dr. F. J. Kern, president of the School, the students of the advanced grades had the distinct privilege and honor of hearing our Slovene artist, M ! r. Božidar Jakac, last Friday evening, March 20, 1931, in a lecture on Slovene art. Undoubtedly, he made an in- dellible impression on each one of the audience as he explained the world-acknowledged achieve- ments of the long list of Slovene talent. Characteristically, he was in- formal, and when the lantern slides were shown, the assembly did not have to be urged to ask questions on the beautiful scenes that were exhibited. The world has already ac- claimed Mr. Jakac as a master and a genius in his profession, and so we can only thank him in giving us the very kind oppor- tunity of hearing him. It was note-worthy to ob- serve the happy faces which are usually missing from most lec- tures, but the pleasant atmos- phere prevailed during the en- tire assembly and everyone seemed happy and contended, After the discourse, the candles on the beautifully decorated tea table vvere lighted and tea with nut potica was served by Misses Julia Mpcnik, Čarobne Braddock and Mary Špik. A number of guests of note vvere present who also enjoyed the evening. Among them were Dr. F. J. Kern and Mr. and Mrs. Trugar. It seems strange, but some- how we were ali loath to leave the class room that night GYM SHOW AT THE ST. CLAIR BATH HOUSE Under the direction of the capable and versatile Miss Vera Kushlan the annual gymnastic. exhibit of the gym classes of the St. Clair Bath House will be held at the Bath House qn March 30 at 8:15 P.

Of the Sbkols only the senior girls and the senior men will be presented in the program. Varied and Tuli of interesting entertain¬ ment the program will include dancing, calisthenics, drills and work on the gymnasium appar- atus. There will be no charge for the entertainment, for the man- agement of the St. Clair Bath House has declared the enter¬ tainment free. However, chil- dren under 16 unless accompan- ied by their parents will not be admitted.

Us- ually there is plenty of fun for ali of the people present and the prizes which are given for the games played make it a highly entertaining and worth while evening. This year the party will take plače on March 29th, in the So¬ kol Drill Hall of the Slovene Na¬ tional Home on St. Clair avenue. The Slovene Library is an in- stitution whic.h is entirely sup- ported by the good will of the Slovenes who are especially in- terested in the project. It sup- plies the need of keeping in touch with the latest movements which the Slovenes in Furope have been engaged and as such it is a rather up-to-date archive of the latest and the best that the Slovenes do.

OREL MEMBERS TAKE TO THE OPEN AIR Large Number Are Members of Largest Class in His*ory of Chisholm School “At least fifty per cent of the members of the Silver Fox Tribe at the summer Scout Čamp this year” was the goal, members of the Tribe Committee set at a luncheon meeting held last Wed- nesday, March 18, 1931 at the Chamber of Commerce Club. Dr. James W. Mally, treasur- er, and Mr. F. M. Jaksic, both members of the Committee and Scoutmaster Felix A Danton dis- cussed at length way and means to encourage and assist the local Scouts to attend the Scout Čamp this summer. Set Up Čamp Fund The follovving plans vvere out- lined and approved: 1. A Čamp Fund is to be set 'up not less than thirty dollars, one half of which is to be raised by the Scouts and the other has bee n pledged by the two com- mitteemen. 2. A paper clean-up campaign to be staged the later part of April. The proceeds to go in- to the Čamp Fund. 3. Active participation in the broom order campaign which Cleveland Boy Scouts put on each year for the benefit of the Cleveland Society for the Blind. Scouts receive 10 per cent commission tovvards their camp fee for ali broom orders secured. Thrift Plan Adopted The Committee also approved a summer camp thrift plan sug- gested by Mr. Danton. The plan sets up a systematic savings ac- count vvhich each Scout may have and when six dollars has been deposited, the Committee will pay out of the Camp Fund, at least, orie dol Ur, making up tptal of seven dollars vvhich will pay for one-week’s stay at camp. Camp thrift cards are to be made by the Scouts for this pur- pose and will be ready for distri- bution early next month. This is the first time that a concerted effort will be made in the Silver Fox Tribe to encour¬ age as many members as possible to get to camp.

A supper of roasted vviennies, baked apples and ice cold re- freshing vvater vvas served.

According to the “Mesaba Miner”, the local paper, the an- nouncements for the valedictory have not been seleeted and vvill be announced vvhen the figures and the rates on vvhich the sel- ection is usually made have been compiled.

M. in the Slovene Nation¬ al Auditorium the Passion PIay members vvill most duly usher in the Holy Week. With tvvo sue- cessful performances in its 1931 record already, the Passion Play čast has determined to make Sun- day’s presentation its third and finest triumph of the season. Perfection Aim Even after their first tvvo fine efforts vvent over big, the mem¬ bers of the čast vvere not satis- fied vvith themselves and contin- ued their rehearsals. They have brushed up on their lines, cor- reeted their mistakes and have done everything to make this shovv more attraetive and more splendid than the others. In consideration of ali the time and effort that the Passion čast has inserted into this production, it is only fair to say that as regards their acting alone, the Play vvill be^a success. It is only through the co-operation of the people, hovvever, that the Passion Play can be termed a complete suc¬ cess and furtherrnore the onIy real vvay that the people can shovv their appreciation of the vvork that the čast has accom- plished is to attend Sunday's shovv. The purpose ot these shovvs has been to inerease the people's interest in cultural lines and ali along Christ the King lodge has had this purpose in mind in presenting these shovvs contrary to the opinions of some vvho think they are financial ven- tures. In preparation the Pas¬ sion players have not hesitated in spending vast amounts of money and this alone is proof that they have a cultural goal in mind in presenting the Passion Play. Effective Acting The personnel of the shovv is the same as the one that per- formed in the first tvvo presenta- tions. Mr. Oblak vvill interpret Christ and he vvill give you a real intimate glimpse into Christ s sufferings. Miss Smerdel as the Blessed Virgin, Mr. Rudolph Perme as Judas and Mr. Toma¬ žič as Caiphas are ali eager to offer you their gems of charact¬ erization.

After the struggles were in effect the fall of agricultural activities began to take plače. Wholesale emigration to America and Westfa!ia began to take plače. The situa- tion became acute. Faction began to be more bitterly cpposed in the industrial and the social positions. This opposition was most keenly se^n between the towns people and peasants. After the example set by ths world at large the Slovene too began to think in terms pf Christian socialism and social democracy with the subsequent effect on literature. The World War with its German and Hungarian militarism served to unitej the Slovenes into one complete whole. 1 he struggle vvas renevved and inereased fervor after the War. After 1880 knovvledge and learning were inereased , n very great extent. Before 1890 about a half of Se Slovenes over ten years of age could read and v Tite, and about one third could do neither.^ By 1900 'he percentage vvas inereased to 68.39 and hy 1910 to 80.4 while the number of illiterates fell to 23.5 and | 4 65 respectively. These percentages compare very e ]l v7 ith the other nationalities of former Austria. The Slovenes were only .66 percent behind the Bohemians and 1 percent behind the Germans. The expansion i’i literacy was the direct cause of the inerease in the num- of nev/spapjers, political, industrial, litYr?.ry and cr-ientific. \Vhereas there was only one literar*/ maga- 7 ; ne ; n 1 8'SO and no scientific journal, there were three Jarge literary magazines and a good number of srra'L v cnes and si>: scientific magazines in 1911. The suh- periptions of the Mohorjeva Družba went up to 90,512 members. The smaller presses and publication houses went into an era of production which was unequaled Lefcre. Slovene artists especially after the War made their impression cn cultural life to such an extent that a permanent museum was opened in Ljubljana. Vocal and instrumental mušic were also extensively developed and received their cwn journals. L.iterary activity now received an impetus and began to show rapid strides ir. development of their own independent language. The Wor!d War broke into the activities and in- flicted its deep wound. The industrial depression vvhich took plače immediately after the War had its effects in the developmer.ts of literature and interest in ali the cultural affairs. The establishments of t >.2 5!rst Slovenc University at Ljubljana and the mušic conservatory founded in 1919 coupled with the Slovene high schools and popular schools form the inspiration for inereased activity. * vvho, however, was not a complete naturalist. SimuItaneously with the French, the Russians with their outlcck left an imprint on European literature. 1 he realists, though they differ very much from the hrench must be counted with their influence. Fedor Mihailovič Dostojevski, painter of the lower classes and the thought procession as it is evolved. In naturalist« poetry, therefore ali versification was thrown aside aitl the phenomena calle^i “free ver.se” was substituted. the revolters a maiter psychologist, and Lev Nichola- jevic i olstoi, philosopher and religious reformer, with his V/ar and Peace, Anna Karenina, Resurrection and the Power of Darkness, show their mighty influence. At the latest development is shown, the influence of Maxim Gorky must not be ovdooked. Though he, by his criticism may be classed as a naturalist by his ar- tistry has gone past ali the naturalists.

NEVV AfMS More than ever before, the Slovenes or tun came into contact with European literature. When the wave~. of interest or a nev/er interest dšsturbed the ac¬ tivities of European culture and. ev,er spreading vvaves soon reached the interests of the Slovenes, This is true not only in literature but also in ali the cultural activities cf the Slovenes including art and mušic. The influence? of the latest times are naturalism and symbolism. Naturalism in its proper definition vvas developed brst with the French vvhose most active propagator wo s Honore de Blazac foilovved by Gustav Flaubert and the Cioncourt brothers. The final development and the greatest thcorist was Emila Zola. The, realirts collected real facts and real' human characters but they utilized them to their cvvn ideas. Zola hovvev'er demanded that nrts and artistic expr~ssion should be “an e.xpression from daily life as is illu trated by temperament.” Flis devehopment from naturalism was shown in his nove Is be sed on natural and scientific tendenev, v/Jiich endeavors to show that man is dependent on hi) environment and hov/ this influence is transferred from reneration to generation. To this he added the themes cf the social crisis of the time, vvhich vvas to shovv hovv clegenerated the people of the time vvere. Besides the most influencial Frenchman vvas Guy de Mauassant i he 5!candanavian vvriters must also he considered in the era of transformation of old ideals. Henrik Ib- who vvith his 3ocial problem dramas does not come he ciass of strict naturalists but vvas classed as a criticism of c.ontemporary life m sen, into th naturalist because of his mainly through h:s masterly construction of analytic dramas. Along vvith him is Bjorsterne Bjornson and the Svvede, Auguft Strindberg. hrom the, French, F.ussian and Scandanavian au- thors, naturalism came to the Germans and from there to the Slovenes. ,e was considered a smvbolist and thus even th‘ beginn of naturalism became a symbolist an j . mode in art vvhich succeeded in natu 1 symbolism is tl, o ahstic tendency. Symbolism devel, tne decand tried ism. din® Naturalism in art vvas based. on the modern scienti- c materialistic Outlook. Intimately allied vvith nature is' environment to go to the fi its objective based. Heredity and theories give the naturalists the liceirse dcpths of human misery and the basest impulses for their themes and plot s.

Overcoming a Sokol lead, late in the last quarter, the Silver Masks again proved to be the Sokol jinx. The Blue and Grey now boast three victories over the former champs. The Sokols defending their title, played a wonderful game and for three quarters of the game showed that undying champion špirit by hold¬ ing their early lead until but 3 minutes of play were left. The Sokols have played sluggish and erratic games in the past, but they seemed to be an inspired group of cagers in the opener. On the other hand the Silver Masks, altho it was their first title fray, displayed a cool and steady attack, which finally earned them victory. After being swept off their feet by an early Sokol lead, which was hard to overcome, the Masks stellar performers of the evening, Arthur, guard, scored five points, in the last period to win. Incidentally those were the only points Arthur scored, but what damage they did. That the fracas was one of close guarding is seen by the fact that the Silver Masks held a 1 - 0 lead in the first period. The So¬ kols held the lead at the t- ,r 4 - 1 and were ahead in the third period 5-4, but could not check a spirited IVFasks’ rally which proved to be fatal. i Arthur at guard was the out- standing player of the tussle, her five points being the deciding factors in the last quarter. Kas¬ telic and Nichols each contribu- ted two points to the victors. The Masks scored on 3 field goals and three foul shots, tvhile the Gymnasts converted one goal and five free throws for seven points. Both clubs had the same number of fouls to shoot for. The Sokols made five out of eleven and the Masks came through with three. Altho there were many shots tried, the Sokols were able to sink only one, while the Blue and Grey tallied three goals. “Fan” Slapar was the SokoFs mainstay, beside scoring three points on .free throws, her ali around floor play is deserving of much credit. Knaus and Klopec each tallied two points. “Lefty” Ann Gasparič and Klopec were the Red and Whites Iuminaries on the defense. 650 Fans At Opening Tussle With approximately 650 fans shrieking their heads off, referee Kubilus' opening whistle blew, and what a bali game. The en- tire game was played in a furious and overwhelming uproar, which seemed to be undying. Both teams played a slow and steady beginning, neither club being able to score. Wary guards soon closed upon threatening forwards and held them helpless. With but fifteen seconds of playing time left in the first quarter, Kas¬ telic made good. on Slaper’s foul, to chalk up the first point of the it was pretty hard. Arthur was caught blocking and Slapar tal¬ lied the first Sokol point, and followed up with another on Osieckis foul. With but one minute of play left, Knaus re- ceived a pass from Klopec and made good on the try. A few seconds later the closing vvhistle blew, with the Sokols 4-1 in the lead. * ' Masks Rally Slapar again scored on Osiec- ki’s foul. With four minutes of play gone, Nichols looped a field goal from past the center of the floor. On Brezovar’s penalty, Kastelic counted one of two throws, leaving the Masks one point behind at the close of the third period. Arthur Scores Five In this hectic last quarter, the Sokols held a one point lead, which was soon tied on Arthur’s free throw. As the score was tied the Masks’ rooters worked themselves into a frenzy, but Klopec sank their hopes by chalk- ing up two points from the char- ity line. Again the Sokols had the lead. And then came the crisis. Arthur aftei repeatedly trying to break away from her relentless guard, Slapar, worked the undying pivot play, »received the bali, faked Slapar out of po- sition and caged a neat ovw- hand throw from beyond the foul line, again knotting the count at seven ali. \Vith the crowd in a continuous uproar, hollering for one team or the other it looked like an overtime period would be needed. Both clubs were peg- ging at the hoops but to no avail. Working the identical play, that she scored on before, Arthur again succeeded in cutting loose to loop one through the meshes for what proved to be the de¬ ciding points. Until the last few seconds the Sokol rooters had hope for their team, as numerous ishots were tried, but in vain. Playing desperately and matching their opponent’s trys the Silver Masks staved off a furious last minute onslaught to hold on to their slender margin and succeed¬ ed. As Johnny Richter’s closing -vvhistle blev/, a den of furious cheering broke loose, which was kept up for about half a minute. April 8th Date of Second Tussle Both clubs will enjoy a week of rest. They will again meet on April 8th for the second game of the series. BLASU 865“ PACES GORNIKS IN ..i.. ... mmmmmmmm: .*.. ooooooooooo- OOOOOOOOO interlodge SUMMARY ^ooooooo OOOOOOOOOO By Joe Jarc The second period was the ime as the first. Both clubs ere playing their heads off but dth such close guarding enacted The Gornik Habs again went on a pin-spilling rampage, flood- ing the Norwood Sports by a 2946 to 2634 score. Their v> : - increased their lead to six games over the second plače clubs. In gathering this 2946 total, they dynamited the pegs for games of 934 in the opener, burned the slides for a sizzling 1067 middle chapter and wound up with a 945. Both the 1067 single and 2946 scores placed them second in the high three and single events. Leskovec, stellai anchor per- former, made his bali talk. He started with a 194 opener, rang up a 224 in his middle stanza and wound up with a mighty 246 for a grand 665 score. His ef- forts earped him second plače in the individual three standings. But he wasn’t the only noise that night. “Snag” Tekavec also shone, bombarding a 625 series on 198, 237, 190 efforts. ‘Chuck’ Debelak and Berk crashed 591 and 585 marks respectively. “Re- bound” Prebles helped his mates from a higher score with a mea- ger 480 score. That cigar of his must have had a bigger kick in it. Prosek’s 559 total was the Sports best offering. He bowled consistently gathering 197, 187 and 175 markers.
