Good Acting It was only too bad that more people did not avail themselves of the opportunity of seeing the play which by a good margin was one of the best productions of the local dramatic club. Full of humor and comical circum- stances the play was well vvorth spending and evening enjoyinn the close of the season. Action, characterization and smoothness were so excellently performed that it would do credit to a Pro¬ fessional group of actors. It was one of those rare oc- casions in vvhich the plav and the actors come into very close con- tact and every actor fits into the play as if the part vVas played for him..

Whenever and whoever has seen the beautifully purple bound book with the inscription “Pota Ljubezni”, Ivan Zorman has had his heart thump just a little faster and the hand reach out anxiously to examine the la¬ test and finest vvorlc of our Slo¬ vene poet, Mr. Ivan Zorman. The latest volume of about sixty poems illustrated with wood cuts by Mr. Božidar Jakac is the landmark and the highmark of American Slovene literature. The book nas just been pub- lished and has already created an excitement vvhich comes vvith anything that comes from the pen of our loved and popular Slovene poet. Men who have seen the book have been high in their praises of the book and the art of Mr. Ivan Zorman vvhich they claim to be the work of the real and mature Mr. Ivan Zor¬ man vvhich vvill be one of the outstanding contributions to the fact that the American Slovenes are really interested in the Slo¬ vene and has as their spokesman a man vvho has so ably and fit- tingly expressed the sentiments of the American Slovenes. The book is divided into five parts each devoted to some spe- cial theme such as Nature, Amer¬ ican Slovenes, Youth, Impressions of Jugoslavia etc., each is pre- ceded by a vvoodcut by Mr. Bo¬ židar Jakac, visiting artist. It is the vvoodcuts by a Slovene artist and the poems by Mr. Ivan Zor¬ man vvhich makes a crosssng of the gap betvveen the old country Slovenes and, the Slovenes here. It is the combination of talents vvhich makes the book outstand¬ ing in American Slovene litera¬ ture. The fifth part of the book is yoted to a cycle of poems vvhich have been devoted to youth es- pecially and they are the ones vvho are especially honored by having a special part given to them. Whi'e the fourth part it. devoted to the impressions vvhieSi Mr. Ivan Zorman brought back from his trip to Jugoslavia a few years ago.

There is much interest shovvn from the reports that have come into the office not only from the vvomen folk but also from the Last Sunday six young people’s organizations of Nevvburgh com- bined to present a vaudeville pro¬ gram, and it vvas no vvonder that such a notable aggregation of clubs attracted the crovvd as they did.

Six Clubs CombinecU Services were contributed by the Young Ladies' Sodality, the Serenaders’ Glee Club the Craspr Girls, the Nevvburgh Band, the Girl Scouts and the Boy Scouts of Troop 2 1 6.

Next in line vvere the Boy Scouts vvith a pro¬ gram appropriate for their organ- ization, called “Be Prepared”, vvhich included the pageant of the Scout Oath and Law, first aid and signalling.

LETTER OPENER De La Pasture, Edmee Elizabeth House Party We are apt to stress the fact that the Slovenes are very active in the fine arts and that because they seem to be much more picturesque and more glamorous and rightly so because it is in connection with the activities of the nation in the field of fine arts that the špirit of the nation is known. It has been often stated that if “one is to know a people he should study its literature.” Lit¬ erature is a fine art which in its natural development s-hows the soul of the nation, how it feels, how it thinks and also shows the hopes and the aspirations of the people themselves. If we are to judge of the špirit of the Slovenes in the field of literature there is much to be admired and much that can be learned of the Slovene people themselves if one will take the trouble to look for it. In the čase of the Slovene literature is ali the more astounding because throughout the centuries they have been subjected to the eruel heel of the Austrian lords who have imposed tke German language and German customs upon the people. But the Slovenes thought they have never had any free- dom of speech and development of their language have nevertheless develophd a literature which is comparable with that of any literature in Europe. If the short period of the French occupation in the beginning of the 19th c-entury is discounted the Slovenes have not been permit- ted to utter a word of Slovene which was not very min- utely scrutinized and severely criticizecl for ali possible meanings. And yet today the modern phenomena called Slovene literature is existing. Slovene men like Ivan an- kar, Oton Zupančič, Franc Sal. Finžgar are men who are known to the literarv world at large not only to the Slo¬ vene. Ivan Cankar himself has been translated into e- leven different languages and is widely knovvn to many nations'. One of the stories of Franc S. Finžgar appeared in one of American popular magazines. Certainly the Slovenes have a just reason in feeling that they are as fonvard a nation as any: If the world is looking at the Slovene authors and Slovene men and considers them as important enough to translate their stories into so many languages then cert- ainlv Slovene literature must be important enough for the Slovenes themselves on consider and become proud of. In the main it is better and freer from ali the filth which has found its way into the literature of practicallv ali the nations of Europe and America for that. matter and because that is the čase why should the Slovenes themselves not be proud of it? Certainly the Slovenes have enough in their literature which will compare fa- vorablv with any literature. It depends upon us whether “Clarissa Marley, fabulously rich and as ruthless as she is rich, determines to get just what she wants. She marries Reggie Fitz- maurice, brings up her step- daughter Sopiiie along with her o-vvn son Lucien, as she wishes. When Sophie and Lucien fali in love (contrarv to Clarissa’s plan..

In ene of his novels he vvrote, “In the mir- ror of my soul, deformed with sorrow and sadness I saw the world with ali of its greatness and fault with its fearful and \vondrous outlook; to my eyes opened to the ways of the world, a life enfolded itself with ali of its exaggerated comedy.” It was to that world that Cankar declared vvar and bitter fight to the finish. That was the battle of hypocricy and life without char- aeter that he flailed inmercifully in his novels and dramas from “Tujci” (Aliens) and “Gospa Judita (Madam Judith) to “Krpanova kobila (Krpan’s Mare) and “Hlapec Jernej” (Farmhand Jernej). To make a climax to ali of his work he wrote of ali the faults of the wor!d in symbolic valley of Saint Florian \vhich he called “Scandals in the Valley of St. Florian.” In de- fense of his work he States that “I have painted the night with alf of its darkness and gloom, full of sad¬ ness and misery that we may so much the more yearn after the light of day.“ To selfishness he waged, a war such as Gorky vvaged in Russia. With painstaking de¬ tail he pictures the lives, of the artists, poets, vvanderers and especially women whom he pictures as mute slaves of love and duty, and as select consolers of husbands, brothers and sons which he represented in Francka (Character in Na klancu), Hanica( in Kriz na gori) and the most beautiful picture of women, his mother (in Moje življenje). Women he also pictures as the victims oP selfishness and immorality. In sharp con- trast to the realistic picture of the conditions as he knew them in the valley of St. Florian he created his symbolic country of dreams and hopes the country of Lepa Vfida and the empire of the mythical Kralj Matjaž. The works of the second epoch of Cankar’s life show foreign influences. The war that he waged and those battles in which he engaged were the wars and battles of a host of other European vvriters such as Zola, Ibsen, Tolstoi, and especially Gorky. His style at this time sounds as a transition from the conversation of Ibsen as it was translated into the German although it becomes very light and airy with a note of freedom and ease which is quite different from the tone of the writers of Meško. More and more did he become intei^sted in Slovene being and language. His writings begin to show a development in the workn: “Tujci,” “Na klancu” (On the Hill) and “Križ na gori” (The Cross on the Mountain) and inerease this development until he has published the satiricel novels “Alez iz Razora” (1907) and “Hlapec Jernej" in which he shows a delicate, refined and inlense love for his home and for the home- land, for the vil'age of his birth and for the surround- ing cQuntryci le which he pictures with a wondrous ob- servation and sympathy. In his fights on the faults which he sa-vv in the 'vorld, Cankar began to^ feel an intense interest and sympathy and merc.y for the weak and mentally poor, but hopefull for the light and sunshine added to this there was an accompanying love for the .poor and suf- fering, for the orphans and those subjugated. It was this intense love more than the idea of satire which by and by dominated his writings and was the lnspiration for his artistic creations. The first intimation of this love can be found in his works which were published about the year 1902. After his return to 'his ovvn country when themes of home and his youth began to predominate he devoted his talents to this love and whole lists of works such as: “Za križem (Efehind the Cross), i 909: “Troje povesti (Three Stories) 1911: and novelettes which were published in the various nevvspapers in 1914 and 191 5, especially his last and d S He 0 f fic “> tiR i la 8e rs probably his greatest work ‘ Podobe iz sanj” (Visions From Dreams) (1917), which he wrote “in the years of terror, 1914-1917 as a reflection of these terrible cays for a remembrance.” Cankar’s art is thoroughly inclividualistic “Every- where he pictures life as he himself saw it; he inter- prets as he himself understoocl it: many of the obsei- vations of life are wrong and many things in his books are not plainly good and oftentimes his judgment is biased and his genera’izations are wrong. Nevertheless e,verything is a true picture of that which he thought and a stili truer picture cf that which he felt and suffered” (Pregelj). Cankar complete!y remade the Plovene novel in the matter of motives and created many things which are extremely new and beautiful. In coVijunction with Meško he created a new styl e in tell ng the novel, enriched the Slovene language with many new phrases, pictures and similies, he discovered the musical quality of the Slovene language as nc« one before him has done. Cankar is the classiest of modern romantic. symbolism for which he obtained a good hear- ine n-t only among the Slovenes but in Europe in general. Oton Zupančič. — Dragotin Kette. — Josip Murn Ht, "J With the novel, Slovene lyricism also under"’^ change. Under the influence of the Decadence Symbolism lyricists began to strive for a new expression. The motives of the poets and the novd was identical. They wished to reereate and r e * poetic form, to break down the old and unfirm and rules; in short they wanted to talk their own 1 !! uage, write tneir own laws, crities, aestheties, an to oay without regard for morals (Pregelj). tbe solid and yet unspoiled nature of the Slovene f* so deeply rooted in Slovene character saved the SF voungei generation from the most serious way wafl ocher countries.

This title was brought to Cleveland last year by virtue of the Pioneers 10-0 victory over Etna (Pa.) in which game Ma¬ kovic štručk out 26 men. In the battle for the C. F. U. title this year there will be stiff- er opposition. Lodges have been divided for the elimination into an Eastern and Western divisio’:i. Tentative plans in the schedule call for games with Farrell, Pa., Voungstown, Lorain, Detroit and Zupančič Chicago. The winner of these games will meet the winners ot the Eastern or Pittsburgh divi¬ sion for th£> championship some- time in the fa.ll.

The C. F. U. sponsored a sim- j I VVVVVV^VVVVVVVV ilar league last year, and thus j far this year there are 6 teams , .j entered. The schedule calls for «:< games to be played on Saturday * mornings during the vacation period. this season but Twin hopes that when the season rolls around Er- nie will be in the line-up. The outfield is also a stiong one in vvhich he has more players to choose from. Snag Tekavec, Andy Milavec, Udovich a nervcoiner and Franz Flaffner are to roam in the out¬ field. Cy Verbič who is slated to clo some of the hurling along %vith Twin Yerse can also play an outfield position. “Chuck” Slapnik is the regular receiver. There are quite a few more play- ers who are to try-out for the team but the above mentioned p!ayers are most likely to be in the line-up at the opening game. Twin Yerse who is to do most of the pitching is sure that his team will be -one of the strong- est in the league and has high hopes of winning the champion¬ ship. Proving a success beyond the vvildest imagination of the mem¬ bers of the House Council, the Vaudeville Night, sponsored by various clubs and lodges, under the auspices of the St. Clair Bath House Council, on Thursday, April 23rd, met with the ap- proval of a crowd of 700 that taxed the capacity of the Gym floor and balcony. Just a Beginning Mr. Heinie Martin, stated that the program that night was the first of many that the House council, a group interested in the vvelfare and health of the neigh- borhood Slovenes, aims to spon¬ sor, with the co-operation of the lodges and clubs. He also brought out the fact that lodges should take advantage of the fa- cilities provided by the St. Clair Bath Flouse, from a dramatic as well as athletic standpoint. .
