RETO OF SLOVENE PASS10N PLAY Last Saturday the Slovene Passion play was again per- formed to an enthusiastic tho not packed auditorium. The crowd that was there was not attentive and no less impressed than the one that witnessed the premier on Sunday afternoon, April 13. The performance last Saturday was the second of the itorium to that of Professional companies that come to Cleve¬ land. The Slovene Passion Play vvas the result of natural en- thusiasm and natural force to represent something that is above the average in the line of Slovene dramaties. That vvas the čase here.

It seemed that the whole of St. Clair moved out to the Chi¬ nese Temple for the evening- Everybody that one knew was there and it seemed that everv- body knew everybody else. There were some introductions not that people did not know each other to say hello but introductions were in order to satisfy conven- tionalities that are required. On everyside came cheery sal- utes of friends that one kne\v for a long time and with whom one talked many times. Mr. Banovec and Mr. B. Jakac came to enjoy' themselves at the party- Formalities were the order of the day in the beginning but they were forgotten when S.tub- thef by Gordon and his Boys began the mušic menu. Partners soon crowded the dance flooi and everything was forgotten except the dance. And how easy it was to dance under the Iighting sys- tem that transformed the sky- light of white to moonlight and to cheering rose eolors adding to the mušic that swept every thing on its flow. The whole party swung into step and the party was on. Table after ta¬ ble was vacated every time the orchestra began its mušic.

Ali of this happen- ed in Columbus, Ind. The second performance was marked by the greater fluency of the whole production. There was something of a glick to it that made it appear as if the performance was a part of the actors themselves, more so than the marvellous performance given on the Sunday before. Though both of them have so much similarity that it would be hard to distinguish and to make sharp comparisons. The uerformance opened at 7 p. m- sharp. With the rising of the curtain for the first act the špirit of the spectacle was im- mediately felt and everything settled to the contemplation of the things that were about to be enaeted on the stage. The audience felt that they were about to see something more than a play or a representation of a dramatic spectacle but a real enaetment of a great reli- gious spectacle that would be as close to the real as it is possible for humans to make it. And the difficult things the members of the čast did well- It is an accepted fact that no group of actors will do ali the parts j ustice no matter hmv ex- perienced or how long they have performed the parts. That how- ever is not the fault of the ac¬ tors or of the willingness with which any čast of actors applv themselves but the difficulty lies in the portrayal of the per- sonality that is to be represent- ed. The life and the study of the Ufe of Christ revealš not a hu¬ man being but something more something deeper and some¬ thing bevond nature. There is no human being who can do the justice. That is the character- istic part of ali Passion Plays ranging from oldest Oberamer- gau to the Slovene Passion Play as it was performed for the first time in America last week- Where the difference is the špir¬ it with which it is represented. And that is the predse differ¬ ence between the Passion Play as it was performed by the Slo¬ vene actors at the National Aud- Actors appearing in the čast felt that his was more than a part in the play but a living charact- er that had to be represented realisticallv. The center of ali. attraetion vvas the central figure of Christ as it vvas played by Mr. Louis Oblak. From the opening scene it vvas evident that he studied his part as vvell as the eharaeter that he represented and in both he did a very marvelous job and really represented a eharaeter that vvas more than an ordinai-y person. His voice and his ac- tions vvere always tempered with coolness, and a studied long snfurance tliat one marvelled at the reserve povver being nec- essary to control actions that under the circumstances vvould have been spontaneous. The lat- ter scenes of the play; the trial; the mockery of Herod; the in- justice of the High councii vvobld have brought bitter protest. From ordinarv man but not vvith the charactei of Christus. The action of the latter scenes vvas admirably preparei) by the first few scenes so that one shovv vv^s a product of people vvho have had little experience on the stage and that experience vvas only gained in the taking of much less important parts than the smallest in the Passion PIay. From the angle of the standings of the players there is nothing that can be said in the perform¬ ance, it vvas not perfect and there vvere some things that could be desired in čase of a pro- past. fessional company but vvhich cannot be demanded in a pro¬ duction of this sort under the circumstances- As has been said ali the parts vvere excellent- ly performed and there can he no criticism offered. The onlv thing that could be done is offer suggestions. ican Jugoslav Printing and Pub- lishing Company. Times and vvell as things have been moving and inereasing and the old quarters have become cramped and small due to the in- stallation of nevv machinery to take čare of the business that has been handled. The nevv lo- cation vvith much larger quar- ters vvill mean that there wiil be much moi-e opportunities of ren- dering a greater Service in the printing department as vvell as the nevvspapers- The nevv location vvill provide a very spacious arrangement of ali the machinery and larger Off¬ ice space that vvill tend to make vvorking much more efficient and make the Service even more prompt than it has been in the Junior Slovene Schoo ram After the part of Christ the most stirring and most import- \ ant vvas the part of Judas play- ed by Mr. Joseph Grdina, played vvith studied effect and a real- ism that one felt in the presence of the real Judas except that in one or other occasion there vvas a little exaggeration. Hovv ef- fective the scene of his counting the pieces of silver vvere, can be measured by the fact that in The climaxing event of the Junior School year vvill take plače next Sunday evening vvhen the members of the Junior Slo¬ vene School present their play and a program at the Slovene Auditorium on St. Clair Ave. The Plav usually makes the final official bovv at the spring pre- sentation vvhen they present a plav that is performed in Slo¬ vene and vvhich is something of a shovvpiece of the things that the children learned during the course of the year. This Spring’s program promises to be as in- teresting as those of the past years and vvill have many in- teresting things in its makeup. The play itself is a delightful fairlv tale of the Snovvdrop and the Dvvarfs vvhich is ideally fit- ted for the presentation by such a group as the children of the Junior Slovene School. The Play itself embodies ali those things vvhich children love and vvhich they can most aply understano and vvhich thev can feel. That has been the underlving thought vvhen the direetor, or should it be directress, Mrs. Antionette Simčič chose the play as tli e vehicle for this years presenta¬ tion. Nor vvill that be the only thing on the pretentious program that is planned by the members of the school. The play, of course, vvill be the most important part of the evenings program but the gaps betvveen the acts vvill be filled vvith singing,and vvith musical numbers that vvill be the presentation of members of the cla^s- The program has been so ar- ranged that there vvill be sing- ing vvhere the gaps in the pro¬ gram usually take plače.- And for that the direetor has t-ain- ed the members of the school in some delightful numbers that vvill be sung by the various class- es under her charge. Perhaps the most interesting of the vvhole incidental part of the program vvill be the declamation of the “Slovenska -Deklica” by Miss Pauline Tavčar, vvhich vvas expresslv vvritten for the occa- of the eternal question- The par- j sion by our Slovene poet Mr. When it is necessary that our readers need printing done mav vve suggest that they come to our address at 6418 until May lst.

The second and perhaps the most unappreciated part that vvas equally nobly done vvas the performance of Mary Smrdeli ways pushing his cause in in- fluencing people for his cause. He did vvell and gave an accur- ate representation of the High Priest Caiphas. tperhaps it vvas due to a mis- conception of the fact that hum- ility and courage can go hand I in hand and be in the same per the Services of the lecturer Mr. Frank Junkar. The lectures vvill be held on Fridav evenings and vvill begin 8 p. m. each Friday. The ad- mission for the series is free and vvill be held on April 25, May 2, 9, 16, 23- Ali vvho can make arrangements to attend the ser¬ ies are cordially invited to at¬ tend. in the part of Maiy the Motheri gon eharaeter of John, of Christ.

Ali the other parts of the program, and there are ten of them, vvill be singing of .Slovene songs by the members of the various classes- The mušic incidental to the play as vvell as jJie aecompani- ment to the singing vvill be done by Miss Anna Erste. It vvould be aptly that such preparation and such vvork as the children of the Slovene School are doing under the leadership of their teachers vvill not be vvell patronized by the people of the community vvho eventually derive ali the advan- tages of the Slovene School. As a further bit and as an additional attraetion for the young and old the lovver hali vvill be devoted to dancing after the program is finished. The program may look forbidding at the outlook but it is not so long as the numbers vvould indi- c-ate. There vvill be plenty of time to put in some pleasant moments on the dance floor. The Right Start The only important thing about a first job is that it be a chance to do honest vvork. Don’t wait till vvhat you’re fitted for offers. Don’t bother about the pay. Above ali, don’t worry over the effect of the job on your social position. Get a leg to stand on. Get a plače to stand the leg. The only stand- point from vvhich you can get a vievv of a job that suits is a job that you suit. Finally, don’t listen to good- luck stories. — Sat.

It is not a new question and has been present in many minds for a long time. Formerly it was deiegated to the real m of things that must be taken čare of in the future but now it has- become vital in the future of national¬ ities in America. There are two ways that the future of nationalities can be answered, one by the simple expedient: ali nati¬ onalities should be forgotten and the sooner that ali eon- sciousness that there ever existed anything like a na- tionality be pushed into oblivion, the sooner ali things will be well. The other alternative is to keep nationalities alive as much as possible and make them vital in the lives of people who are connected with nationalities. The former is the easy answer and befitting persons who are afraifl to face the problem. The latter is a matter \vhich will require much work, much planning and much fore- thoUght and a construction of a program that vili prove constructive and that vili eventua!ly lead to the survival of ali that has to do vith nationality doings. America and American life has too much to lose if ali nationality characteristics vere Idšt and viped avav. Much of the vork that is done, and much of the industry and progress is due to the native energy of the nation- ality groups. Nationality groups are contributing much to the tradition of American progress and nationalitj groups are being very much considered by native Ame- ricans that they be discarded nov. It is not neccesary to establish colonies that vili be cut off from ali the Ame¬ rican but there can be nationality groups that vili be in- dependent as far as their ovn life is concerned. National- ity groups have shovn that they can. vork and assi- milate American ! Id.eas and ideals and at the same time they can be national in character and life. In our ovn ’city there are many things that can be pointed out vith pride that are the direct result of na- tionalityand are a pride of native Clevelanders vho do| not profess any nationality affiliations. It seerns that our forefathers in establishing National homes, banking in- stitutions, schools, and churches have given a decisive answer of vhat is to be the future of nationality groups and nov it is up to the youth vho have suddenly become a vital part in the scheme of things in Slovenc life to show hov/ interested they are in things that have been done for them.

SUHADOLNIK Contemporary, though some years younger from John the Babtist of the Holy Gross vas Father Ro- gerius also of the Capuchins vho vas also very fam- qus as a preacher. There is no record of his life. It is not k nov n to vhich family he belonged or vho his parents vere. Ali that is knovn is that he vas a na¬ tive of Ljubljana. He died in 1728. After his death the t ..pusehins published 126 of his sermons in tvo large volumes, under the title “Palmarium empyreum.“ Father Rogerius’ sermons are interesting because of the symbolism that runs thru them. It is evident from this that he vas a študent of the ancient Slavonic preachers vhere like sermons are found and vhich vas revived in the 17th century especially vith the Italian preachers. The most interesting and also the most charaeteristic note of the sermons is the intro- ductory synopsis at the head of each sermon. The svnopsis is in the form of a poem and introduces the 'subject and gives an analvsis of the vhole follov/ing sermon- The third priest vho vas very active in the field of preachjng vas Jerome Basar a Jesuit of Škofja Loka. As preacher he vas active at Celovec and at Ljubljana, vhere he died from the disease he con- traeted vhile attending vounded soldiers. His. con- tribution to the literature of the Slovene consists in a carefuliy composed book of sermons vhich vas published vith the title “Pridige is bukviz imenovanih Exc-ercita S. Ozheta Ignazia/Sloshene Na ufako Nedelo zhes lejtu.” The sermons are examples of the rhetor- jcal škili attainable. vhile the language is that of the tovns-folk and that of the highlands. Somev/hat different vas thhe literary vork of the Capuschin- Father Hipoiitus .od Novo Mesto, a Capuschin preacher of the Stajerisch province and later a guardian he died at Krajn in 1722. While he no doubt also preached his literary contributions con- sisted in the publication of several dictionaries of the Slovene language vhich vere aimed to give riehness to the language and to aid the youth in the study of the language. His first vork the “Dictionarium trilinguae” a pololingual clictionary vith vords in Latin, German and Slovene vhich vork, hovever, vas not printed but remained in manuseript. The title page vas printed in 1711. The appendix to the dic- tionary contained some interesting material of the modern almanac type and consisted of the “Or- bus pictus”. Father Hipoiitus vas also responsible for a new edition of Bohorcic’s dictionary in v/hich very interesting additions have been made, Bohoreic’s shorteomings vere left alone. Book on Religion While the bulk of the literary vork vas of a religious nature there vas some activity in literature that did not have a bearing on religious directly. Ed- itions of this kind of literature are more and more abundant after the first three decades of the 18th centuxy. Among these publications vas some poetry These beginnings teli in their vay that the economic depression that the Thirty Years War occassioned vas somevhat lightened and the people had money to spend for books. It vas not until the reign of Marie Therese and Joseph II that the non-religious books and their authors received the support that they vere deserving. The only exception vas the “Nova Crain- ska Practica” a minature almanac vhich became pop- ular at that time. The first almanac vas published in 1726 and every vear after that time- The language of thq Almanac shovs very clear- ly that the language of Trubar and Bohorcic and the other pioneers of Slovene literature vas veakened and v/as, in fact, much poorer and taking ne\v directions. The language is generally the dialect of the interior of Slovenia and the ancient language shoved many radical changes that the language undertook in the course of the next 50 vears. The effect of German influence is also shovn vhere the authors affect a culture and a leaning tovard. the German in the in- troduction of the German vords and German phras- ology. This vas partlv due to the shortage of ex- pressions in the Slovene to express nev ideas and partly because the influence of German education and German culture. Popular religious literature vas revived vith the recommendations of the Synods that the yojith be instrueted in catechism and in dogmas of the Catho- lic religion- For this purpose the Synods recommend- ed the catchism of the famous theologian Robert Car¬ dinal Bellermine, a Jesuit, and an authority in theolo- gy. Cardinal Bellermine’« catechism appeared trans- lated 'into the Slovene as early as 1728. During the folloving year a catechism, based in Trubars, appeared. The. catechism vas an explana- tion cf the doctrine of the Catholic church in verse. The verses vere to be leai-ned by heart or they vere to be sung and in that manner the people eould re- memfcar the facts and articles of belief. The catechism in verse vas published by A. Sterzinar of Škofje Loka vhere he vas the pastor from 1713 to 1741. The poems are rather long and enbody in them a depth of religious feeling v/hich made them popular vith the populace. Metri'cally the poems. are a mixture of the old classical Slovene poetrv and the modern versification. Stefzinar did not measure the poetical feet as mod¬ ern poets do but rather counted them. The ryhming vhere there is anv ryhming is done by alliteration or vith assonance. At times the rhymes are made oniy in the endings of lines and no other effort is made to cveate poetry. AH the faults of Sterzinar are also found in his follovers. Important among them are Paul Lavrenčič, a jesuit, author of Miffionfke Catholifh Karfhanske Peiffme: Fhiiiip James Pepez, an organist author Romarske bukvrze, Nebefhku blagu, Romarsku dn blagu, and Maximillian Redeskin, author of Oseffii 111 shestdeset pesni. > Ali the coliections of religious poetry had « its purpose the doing avay vita the national son S many of vhich vere very course or legends came from the pagan days.

At the time this did not stir the local fans until Gag¬ non came into country wide prominence by knocking out Tuffy Griffiths who was rated by many ekperta as a better fighter than Jack Sharkey.
