The members of the Slovene
School senior division were
pleasantly surprised last Friday
evening vvhen Mrs. Antoinette
Simčič appeared. on the scene
and conducted the classes in the
absence of Mr. Janko N. Rogelj
and Mr. Vatro Grili, the regu-
lar teachers of the Slovene
school.

The regular teachers were un-
able to appear because of the
extra conference that was be-
ing held at the Slovene Home
last week. They acted in' the
capacity of share holders or as
members of the directory. In
their absence Mrs. Simčič sub-
stituted and thrilled the class
vvith her personality and the
way she went about her work
vvhich was so different from the
regular teachers.

It may have been the novelty
of having her instead of the
Messers. Rogelj and Grili that
made the class so different.

In her class she reviewed the
matter that was taken during
the vear and did the job very
thoroughly. In the writing ex-
cercises she dictated many in-
teresting facts about the Slavs
and the Slovenes which proved
interesting to ali the students.

The cap and gown will not be
the only thing that will inter-

some are taking into considera-

of the grammar school gradu-
ated from St. Lawrence’s School
in Newburg.

There will be seventy-seven
graduated from the school the
largest number to be graduated
from the school at one time.

According to the custom of
the Alumni Association of the
school the graduates of this

Annapolis may have its grand
day at Anapolis with the Sec-
retary of the Navy giving the
Diplomas and West Point may
be glorious in its commence¬
ment day program but Cleveland
will have its greatest Scholas-
tic spectacle when the Corpor¬
ate Colleges of John Carroll U-
niversity have their Commence¬
ment Day at the Public Hall
on June 11 when the nine insti-
tutions under John Carroll will
graduate ali the young men and
women who are attendirig the
colleges of the institiition for
the last time this month-

It was only last December
that the Catholic colleges of the
Diocese of Cleveland have com-
bined under the leadership of
Dr. Albert C. Fox, S. J. at pres-
ent the Dean of John Carroll
University. This occasion will
be the first in which the -joint
commencement will be held and
the authorities vvith the Dean of
John Carroll at the head will
stage a commencement that will
be vvatched scholastically thru-
out the country. The Cleveland
merger of Colleges, as far as
other cities is concerned is an
experiment. In Cleveland it is
a functioning reality due to tRe
broadminded educators at the
head of the diocesean system
of Education. AViith the help
and the initiative of the Right
Rev. Bishop Joseph Schrembs
and the nationally known Dr.
Albert C. Fox the details have
been so worked 'out that in Cle¬
veland a merger of Colleges is
not an experiment any more. It
is vvith reason that other cities
are vvatching and vvatching very
close!y so that they, too, can in-
augaurate a similar system.

So great was the idea that

captains of industry have been
enthusiastic when they Iheard of
the plan. J. J. Bernet who
served as Chairman of the John
Carroll University Building
Campaign committee said “I
am glad to hear of the merger
but I am not surprised- We
knew of the potential influence
of John Cafroll when we back-
ed the Uiiiversity in this cam¬
paign. This development will
help people understand what
kind of institution it is and is
to be. This proof of confidence
in John CarrolFs leadership on
the part of the Corporate Coll¬
eges of the Diocese will be an
added inspiration to them and
to us. It is a new picture for
the people and a big one. Some
thing we needed and have need-
ed ali along.”

But the merger of the Coll¬
eges into the Corporate Coll¬
eges of John Carroll University
is a historical fact and at pres-
ent that Corporation of Colleges
is very much alive and very ac-
tive in getting ready for the
greatest, most colorful and the
most spectacular commence¬
ment that was ever witnessed
in any city of the United States.
No other city 'has ever been able
to speak of nine colleges hold¬
ing one commencement and
having their diplomas granted
from one institution such as is
possible in Cleveland.

While Cleveland will be proud
of its achievements in Educa-
tional circles the Slovenes will
have a j ust right in sharing
that pride vvith the other peo¬
ple because the Slovenes Avill
have their quota of young men
and women who will receive the
eoveted diplomas jointly with

,When the party of Slovenes
went to attend the Internation¬
al Spring Festival and Costume
Bali they had no idea that one
of their party would be signally
honored with one of the prizes
that have been offered for the
best National Costumes. Yet,
when the prizes were awarded
and the vvinners announced it
was diseovered that the name
of Miss Dani Oblak was read
as the first prize winner of the
ladies costumes award.

As a prize she received a
beautiful pink evening dress and
a wrap of vvhich she is very
proud.

This is not the first time she
has been so singled out being an
outstanding person. She was
chosen as the Queen of the St.
Clair Merchants’ Exhibit that
was held last fall at the Slo¬
vene Home on St. Clair Ave. On
that occasion she was chosen as
the most popular young lady of
the exhibit in competition vvith
fifteen other popular young la¬
dies to offer stiff competition.

The First Prize of the Inter¬
national Spring Festival was
avvarded in connection with the
Costume Bali vvhich was ar-

the other graduates. In the par-
tial check of the graduates of
Corporate institutions there
have been counted thirteen who
will have their names called out
and the complete reports are
not at band . In the final check
up there will undoubtedly be
more Slovenes who will be on
hand to receive their pidlomas.

The list as it was available
at press time revealed the
names: James Seliškar, Max

Sodja, and John Gornik of John
Carroll University; Antonia R.
Kurent (Cinderilla Jane, of A.
H. J.), and Miss Rose Strauss
of Notre Dame College; Louis
Kužnik and John Wmter of the
Seminary; Misses Aliče Bradač,
Josephine Vehar and Frances
Legan of St. Alexis School of
Nursing and Miss Mary T. Ber-
nardic of Charity School of
Nursing.

That is on!y the list of the
Slovenes to date they will be a
part of the 303 graduates of the
nine corporate colleges who will
receive their diplomas on the
evening of June 11 at the Pub¬
lic Auditorium.

When the expression of the
Public Auditorium is used it
means j ust that. It does not
mean the Musič Hall or the
Little theatre but the large ar¬
ena of the Public Hall and for
that reason the Slovenes are
asked to be present for they
will, if the plan early enough,
have ali the tickets they want
at their disposal- The admission
will be by ticket only but the
tickets will cost nothing except
a little bother of asking for
them. They can be obtained
at Gornik’s Haberdashery on St.

(Continued on uage two)

The vanguard of the gradu¬
ates is here and from indica-
tions the number s will increase
as the schools close their semes-
ters and they give eoveted
sheep skins to the graduates
who have merited them.

In the vanguard are the three
K’s who have finished 1  their
course in the evening law
school of the J oj h n Marshall
School of Law. They are Anton
R. Kushlan, Joseph A. Križman
and V. Henry Karlinger.

The whole trio is known to
the Slovenes because they have
been in contact with the Slo¬
venes during the past years and
have figured prominent in the
local social activities and have
been associated vvith the people
in connection vvith the Frater-
nal organizations to vvhich they
belong.

Due to circumstances the trio
was forced to study law in the
evenings because they could not
afford the luxury of Day Class¬
es. It does not mean to say
that they have done their work
in a slipshod manner for they

“A Tour to Europe” for a
visit to the stronghold of Slo-
venianism Ljubljana ali for the
priče of a car-fare or the priče
of a few gallons of gasoline. It
may sound like a fairy tale but
in reality it is not because
Ljubljana has been transported
to America and a typical cross-
cut of Ljubljana life will be?
presented at Cleveland’s Bela
Ljubljana in Euclid.

European cities and that not
exclude Ljubljana have a day of
celebration of the town patron
saint or the anniversary of the
city of such important event
which is celebrated by ali the
people for miles around. Some
of the visitors come as far as
“8 hours walk” distance to be
present vvith some merchandise
or to partake in the festivities
that are always on tap at such
a celebration. Instead of being
a pure market day it becomes a
carnival at vvhich there is as
much fun as there is business.
Ali sorts of attraetions, to take
some of the money which was
gotten at the bargains, are fea¬
tured.

Ali the features which have
made the “semenj” so famous
and so popular vvith the Slovene
people in Slovenia vvill be faith-
fully reproduced when Bela
Ljubljana at vvhich ali who come
to visit the celebration vvill have
a chance to poli a ballot. Not
only vvill the mayor be eleeted
but the most popular young
lady as the “first lady” of Bela
Ljubljana.

Impossible as it may seem, ali
the characteristic places of
Ljubljana vvill be reproduced and
each vvill have its own particu-
lar kind of activity to produce.
As early as 1 p. m. Saturday
the activities vvill begin for the
first 'Semenj of Bela Ljubljana
vvhich vvill be presented on the
occasion of the First Anniver-
sary of Bela Ljubljana.

At 1 P. M. the doors to the

things which make life livable.
One may mock at romance and
hold it in derision and yet you

,joys reading a romantic novel
or seeing one of the great dram-
as. As for adventure, is there
a person no matter how common
plače, who has not at some time

self worthy, to some one he has
loved by proving himself thru
deeds of bravery and daring.

In honor of the soldiers who fell in the Civil War
and in memory of ali the Soldiers who have fallen in the
glorious defense of the Country ever since she has been
declared a country self existent and selfgoverning. May
30 has been set aside as a special date on vvhich the me-
mory of their deeds and their valor is to be commemo-
rated.

In a country whieh has so much to thank for to the
self sacrificing špirit which was shown by the honored
military dead of the nation it is fitting that the nation set
aside a day on which they are specially remembered and
on which the heads may be reverently bowed in honor of
the lives that they have given so generously, so unstint-
ingly so that others who are to follow may reap the
blessing of democracy and the benefits whieh naturallyj w ith indulgence and tolerance
come from government that is based on ideals of libertyjon other young people and wil’
and demoeraev.

Many a poignant heart has been grieving for the
boy who went in the valiant defense of the countrv when
she needed it most and many a heart of a mother and of
a sweetheart has bled sorrv to know that in the plače of
the boy, sweetheart or husband who left with the high-
est hopes of coming home again will never be filled. In
honor of the Soldiers who have left never to return the
MemjOrial Day is set aside for reflection on the benefits
and the blessings that we have been receiving as a na-
tural consequence of the lives that they have sacrificed
on the altar of Democracy as an insurance that we who
live after may progress in government and in leadership
aniong nations.

To the mothers and to the sweethearts and the sis-
ters perhaps the noblest words have been penned by the
President Lincoln in a letter to a mother.

Dear Madam: —

I have been shown in the files of the War De¬
partment a statement of the Adjutant-General of
Massachusetts that you are the mother of five sons
who have died gloriously on the field of battle. I feel
how weak and fruitless must be any words of mine
which should attempt to beguile you from the grief
of a loss so, overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from

Life itself is a great adven¬
ture. To some is given the povv-
cr of standing above the rank
and file of ordinary every day
iiving. These outstanding fig-
ures have been put into books
by romanticists, histprians and
biographers, and there are not
many, no matter what age they
may be, who do not experience a
touch of romance and adventure
when reading of their deeus. Al-
most everyone has a bit of hero
wors ! hip in his nature. You can
make your favorite a real Iiving
friend by reading, and so I say
with Shakespeare:—

“To thrne own self be true,
And it vvill follow as the night
the day,

Thou, canst, not then be false
to any man.”

So do not be too so-hpisticated,
materialistic, or indifferent, to
get the romance and adventure
that these books can give to
you, through them you can get
into another world away from
the hum drum, boredom of every
day life. <

So late into the night,

the Slovenes cannot afford to i

It is well to remember that

Sliort History of Slo¬
venc Literature

By F. T. SUHADOLNIK

George Japelj began his liter,ary work under the
direction of the Josephine reforms. He translated the
Large Josephinum Catechism for schools inl779 . He
also published the list of preseribed Mass hymns in a
small book “Zerkvene pefmi litamie in molitve per
boshji flusbi.” In his own book of prayers he publish¬
ed Palmn 50-the Miserese- in verse form to which he
added some preseribed hymns among them the trans-
lation of the ^Stabat Mr/cer” by Jacob Tudertina
He is also credited with the translation of Haydn’s
Mass “Before the T-hrone of Thy Mercy” vvhich ap-
peared in the tenth edition of the Jansenist Mass
Hymnal “Sveta mafha.” In his collection of non reh-
gious works are found translations of Hegedorn, Gell-
ert, Kleist, Mandelsshon, Zacharius and Alexander
Pope. He also translated the operetta Artaxesces by
Metastasio. While in Celovec he tried his hand at
Latin poetry. As a whole his poetry- is much bett.er
than the attempts of the Almanac writers.

The most important literary work of Japelj, how-
ever, was the translation of the Bible. It was the aim
of the Jansenists that the bible b.e so widespread that
the people vvould consider it as their book- In the in-
terest of the woork, Bishop Herberstein delegated Ja¬
pelj to do the work. Up to now he recommended the
clei'gy to use the Dalmatin translation of the Bible.
With the aid of Blase Kumerdej the New Testament

appeared in two volumes printed in 1784 and 1786 re-
spectively, after vvhich he began the translation of the
Old Testament vvhich was published in 11 volumes up
to 1802. The first tvvo volumes, the Book of Josue,
Book of Judges and the Book of Ruth h e completed
himself. The other volumes of the Old Testament vvere
completed by others.

Translation of the Jansenist Bible was not some-
thing entirely new since it was based in the transla¬
tion of Dalmatin. In the course of the translation and
revision many of the old expressions and old vvords dis-
appeared, while many remained. This translation of
the Bible did not please the Ecclestiacal authorities
because it did not include textual explanations that ali
editions of the Bible must have according-to the lavvs
preseribed.

The translation of the Bible brought Japelj into
close contact with the r^es and lavvs that govern Slo-
vene grammar. Dalmatin’s Bible especially shovved the
general breakdovvn of the old Slovene that was being
vvritt.en at that time to the Slovene that was vvritten
by Trubar, Dalmatin and Bohorcic and the other earlv
Slovenes. With the fortunate co-operation of Japelj’s
dialect there . arose a typically nevv vvritten ianguage,
and Kumerdej’s mountain dialect and Dalmatin’s Krajn
vvhich Japelj vvished to incorporate in his grammar
vvhich he began in Celovec. The vvork vvas completed
and he received permission to print it but because of
his death it vvas never published.

5. “ACADEMIA OPEROSORUM”

Novv the Monks and the clergy vvere not (he only
ones vvho vvere fervently interested in the prbduction
of literature. Little bv little the ranks of students
grevv and vvhile there vvas never an overabundance of

literati among the Slovene eople vvhat vvas of them
vvas extraordinari!y good. Literary endeavor to the
plains folks vvas a secondary matter and vvas indulged
to fill some necessity that arose. The primary inter-
est vvas the establishment of schools vvhere the chil-
dren could get the elements of knovvledge. Among the
first to be identified in this connection vvith the schools
vvas Blase Kumerdej, a native of Bled. As professor
of Oriental Academy at Vienna he suggested to the
official authorities that they should establish an edu-
cational policy among the common people and to this
end he outlined a plan by vvhich it could be carried out.
His plan included a system in vvhich the Slovene or
mother tongue vvas the basis of ali teaching. With the
Austrian authorities this vvas out of the question. As
a result of his activities in the educational field he vvas
offered the position as the Master of Studies in the
State Normal school in Ljubljana. With his friend
Edling, he achieved great success. Edling secured th e
translation of “Sera ali vonusetek teh metodnih buqui”
a little prior to Japelj’s Large Catechism.. He vvas
also responsible for the German edition of “Forderun-
gen an Schulmeister und Lehrer der Trivial schulen.”
Almost simulteanously Kumerdej finished the compo-
sition of “Vodenje sa brati.”

Under the leadership of Count Edling the old
“Academy Operosorum” vvas received along the lines
of the ancient institution. The academy vvas eagerly
indorsed by ali the authors and influencial men of the
period. Pohlin, Dev, Japelj, and other clergy vvere in
the list together vvith Kumerdej, Linhart and Edling.
Under the example of the old institution the men vvant-
ed to establish an interesi in Letters but the practical
nature of the Austrian officials vvas' not favorable.
Only that vvhich vvas of practical nature and that vvhich
vvould help the farmer vvas endorsed.

tions tended to discourage ali inlerest in lettehj
Pisanice disappeared after the third annual
the year of 1781.

Books of a practical nature began to ntfb 1
appearance at the time inaccordance vvith the
the Viennese court. The Peasant Clubs published^
for the farmers. Wolstiens “Bukvivze od _
bolesni sa kmeteske ludy” a. manual of dB®^

GODFREY SHOULD WIN,
BUT:

When Godfrey the black men-
ace who weighs about two hun-
dred thirty pounds, walks ac-
ross the canvas to touch gloves
vvith Prima Carnera, the Vene-
tian gondolier, he will be con-
ceding about forty pounds in
vveight, besides this, eight inch-
es in height- The Italian is also
younger, having seen twenty-
four summers compared to
twenty-nine for the black. In a
test of strength, Carnera, too,
vvould have the advantage. G.
Godfrey on the other hand has
one asset which alone should
offset the advantages mention-
ed, and that is ring experience.
He is a master of nearly ali the
trieks, fair or foul, which are
being used in the fight business.
Starting from this point, with
both boxers rated on an almost
equivalent basis, we next takp
irito consideration the weapun
that should prove the deciding
factor, and that is the sock of
each of the contestants. In a
straight-a-way punch test it is
not to be doubted that Carnera
should be able to move a moun-
tain. However, boxing, brainy
boxing, requires an opponent to
sidestep and dodge, something
that Godfrey is very adept in.
The negro may show Primo so
many new trieks that the latter
wiil feel 'his attempts afre as
foolish as it vvould be for him
to try going up the Niagara
Falls in his gondola.

AIthough the Italian masto-

In spite of threats from various

toured the country, advertising
the Great Primo from the East
to the West Coast. Today, this
man mountain is as vreli known
and in some quarters more spok-
en of than the-native first ra-
ters. Judging him by the op¬
ponents he has met, we thinfc
we are generous in classing him
as a second rater.

In spite of the publicity and
keen management of the trio
that compose the strategy board
for Carnera, we cannot under-
stand this sudden decision to

ago. Frankie is to take on Jack;

Darval in the headliner. This
bout was originally billed for
June 3rd, but was called off on

Krajc’s homer was the best ef-
fort for the losers.

Mir Overcomes Nine Run Lead

The Modern (Crusaders who
surprised by defeating the Ciair
woods last week, piled up nine
runs in six innings against Mir.
These were due to miseues and
eight walks issued by Miklaucic.

To redeem himself, Miklaucic
began the last half of the sixth
inning vvith a home run. This
drive so inspired his fellovv
player that in. the excitement
vvhich followed they banged out
seven hits, including a second
hit by Miklaucic, a tripie; com-
bined with the .aid of three cost-
ly errors on the part of the
dazed -opponenits vvhich netted
them ten runs, or a one point
lead. Miklaucic then settled
down, a!lowing one run, while
Mir clinched the hard fought
game with three more markers.

The Crusaders smacked out
fiv.e hits for eleven runs. Mir
got fourteen runs on thirteen
hits.

ons!y follovs the nevspaper
comics, or “the funnies” as he;
prefers to call tliem, vants to
kiiOAv how Little Orphan An-
nie in one series can stay the
same age s 0  long?

That vas also the čase vitli
Buster Brovn, as ve reeall,
but it is not true of some more
modem strips. Probably :  the
most realistic comic feature in
tliis respect 1  today is “Gaso-
line Alley” in vliicli the ar
tist, King, has not only allov-
ed “Skeezix” to grov np but
has introdnced “Corky” to
])iay the infant role.

\V Ilich reminds n s, how dif
ferent are the comics of today
from those of a past genera-
tions!

Hov many can reeall sneli
old time “funny paper” fi-
gnres aš the mischievous
“Tellov Ki d,” the philanthro-
pi-Ci ]“Lady Bounjtifld,” i ;the
can-crovned “IIappy Hooli-
gan,” the all-too polite “Alph-
onse and Gaston” and the es-
say vriting “Buster BSrovn”
not forgetting “Tige” his
dog? -

A pioneer comic artist was
the late Richard F. Outcanlt.
His first feature vas “Ho-
gan’s Alley,” for the Nev
Tork World. This vas in 1895.
But the Nev York Journal
claims to have pulilislied the
first Sundav comic section.
At any rate in 1896 it started
to run this same artist’s “The
Tellov K id.” Outeault’s Poor
Li’l Moše antedated his “Bu¬
ster Brovn” hy. only a fev
months in 1901. They vere
gotten up for the Nev York
Ilerald. The eharaeters in
“Buster Brovn” so tickled
the puhlic's fancy that Out-
cauit vas soon vriting books
about “Buster Brovn.”

Those vere the day vhen
slapstiek action vas the ‘theme
song’ of the comics. It vas to
the funnies vhat the custard
pie era was to the movies.
Among the few hold-overs from
that day at the “Katzenjammer
Kids,” — both original and dup-
lieate. R. Dirks of the Nev
York World originated this fea¬
ture but through some journal-
stic quirk Kneer is now carry-
ing on the ‘Katzenjammer Kids’
under the original title vhile
Dirks has a similar feature in
“The Captain and the Kids.”
This rivalry in many cases par¬
al els the original “Believe-It-or-
Not” feature by the veteran
Ripley and “Strange-as-It-May-
Seems” follow-up by the youth-
ful Hix.

-Another relic from the past is
Bud Fisher’s “Mutt and Jeff.”
Not many people remember that
this series started out as a  con-
versational feature betveen
race track touts (Mutt and
Jeff) on the sporting page. But
for that matter,. Ripley’s fea¬
ture vas also born in the sport¬
ing section, in illustrating ath-
letic events. In fact, his very

first “believe-it-or-not” portray~
ed the curving of a baseball.

Believe it or not, Ripley 1  is
now said to be making more
than a million clollars a year
thru his syndicated feature, ra¬
dio and stage appearance. Rip-
ley has alvays had a taste for
draving. When a boy he sold
a cartoon to Life for $8. Three
years later he got a j ob vith
the San Francisco Bulletin for
$8 a veek. He was fired and
got a better job aeross the Street
with the Chronicle. But vhen
he asked for a raise of from
$20 to $22.50 a veek he vas
again sacked. By illustrating
a book he made enough money
to take him to Nev York vhere
he got his big chance by drav
ing sports subjects for the old
New York Globe.

“Mutt and Jeff” vere too pop-
ular to be confined to the sport¬
ing pages, so they developed in-
to a general comic feature and,
in their heyda-y, invaded both
stage and sereen. But years of
thinking out daily new ideas is
a terrific job and tihe result is
that today there is a veak ‘Mutt
and Jeff’ as compared with the
celebrated duo of yesterday.
Probably that is because they
are groving old, though they
don’t look it. George McManus
does much better in continuing

“Bring Up Father,” popular for
several generations.

The comic strip of later years
Which aroused a very popular
interest was “The Gumps,” a
product of Sidney Smith. The
writer uses “was” because the
Gumps are not vhat they used
to be. There was a time vhen
people were talking about dhin-
less Andy almost as much as
they are now diseussing the
blackface Andy and Amos “n”
Andy. I That was vhen Andy
Gump vas rimning for Con-
gress. The. clever series evoked
so much interest that the Chi¬
cago Tribune (vhich syndicates
most of the comic strips in the
papers today) saw fit to present
the author vith a Rolls-Royce
and a substantial inerease in
salary.

Sidney Smith, hovever, made
his big mistake in not sending
Andy to Congress. From then
on interest in the Gumps waned,
being temporarily revived by
the romance betveen “Mary
Gold” and “Tom Carr.” In this
the artist tried something that
had never before been dared in
the funnies. He alloved ‘Mary
Carr’ to die. Though it may
not have been successful as far
as pleasing readers is concerned
it vas an interesting experi-
ment in injecting sob-stuff into
columns -supposed to be exelu-
sively dedieated to comedy.

A cartoonist who has become
even more popular after death
than in life — which is saying
a lot — is Claire Briggs. His
“Mr. and Mrs.” series vas con-
tinued by a syndicate pasting up

his eharaeters to act a text
vvritten by Arthur Folvell, form
er editor of Life and later vith
the Nev York Herald Tribune.
Also, “by popular request,”
Brigg’s series of individual car-
toons labeled “The Days of Real
Šport” and “When a Feller
Needs a Friend” are being re-
printed.

Probably thg most art in any
cartoon strip is shovn in ‘Betty’
from the pen of C. A. Voight.
The author is an artist of no
mean ability, as attested by his
illustrations for books and ad-
vertisements. John Held Jr.,
another artist of note, is exper-
imenting with “Merely Margy.”
Held says he vas never any
good as a cartoonist until he
was kicked in the Ihead by a
horse, which may or may not
be a suggestion for some other
comic strip authors.

For the funniest comic strip
the writer would nominate ‘The
Bungle Family,” by H. J. Tut-
hill, thougih it is rather mature
in its satire and is full of con-
versation that same headline
readers do not relish, and ‘Moon
Mullins’, by Willard, a compar-
atively hew arrival. For the
most educational idea, “High
Lights of History” by J. Carroll
Mansfield, an excellent graphic
portrayal of events, takes chief
honors. Its pictures convey
more information to people tkan
the same space occupied by
print could do. It is a new idea
in “funnies.”

There was a time when, ‘Reg-
’lar Fellers,” by Gene Byrnes,
‘Barney Google and Spark Plug’
by Billy DeBeck; “Polly and
Her Pals, ” by Cliff Sterrett;
“Boob McNutt,” by Rube Gold-
berg, and Winnie Winkle, the
Breadvinner,” by Branner, vere
out of the ordinary, but the sit-
uations have been allowed to be¬
come old and common-place.
Hovever, Winnie’s styles are
stili interesting to the vomen
and the modernistic setting for
Polly are featuves in themselves.
And a very original novelty is
“Minute Movies,” by Ed Wheel
an.

Today vitnesses some double-
author comic strips.—one man
to f urnish ideas and the other to
draw. For example, there is the
not-so-hot “Ella Cinders,” by
Bill Conselman and Charlie
Plumb; “Tailspin Tommy” of
aviation interest, by Glenn
Chafin and Hal Forrest, and
“Buck Rogers, 2429 A. D.,” a
rather clever dream of the fu-
ture, by Phil Nowlan and Dick
Calkins. And “Sihow Girl,” is
perhaps the jazziest of ali strips
by J. P. McEvoy and J. H. Stie-
bel.

The importance Of the “fun¬
nies” is attested by the fact that
they have branched out from
the colored supplements to
brighten otherwise drab read
ing or advertising pages in many
newspapers. And if rumor has

it correct, don’t be surprised to
see Amos ’n’ Andy, nov that
they have taken a chance on
films not of the Pepsodent var-
iety, branch out into the coun-
try’s first blackface nevspaper
comic strip.

And for an appropriate smile
“His troubles vere as long
dravri out of the difficulties of
a comic strip character!”
