They are hu¬ man and must be informed of what is going on or they are due for many surprises. That at least is the experience of Mr. Vatro Grili, the editor of the Enakopravnost Slovene Daily. Mr. Grili had the tables turned on him in the same way that he managed to escape attention when he shoved off the pier of single-blessedness (?) and steer- ed his course on the sea of mat- rimony” last December. Yes, the tables were turned in the same way. He did his little act witihout informing anyone of his plans except one or two of his select friends who carried on his work in his absence. In re- turn several friends arranged a delayed vvedding celebration that was as great a surprise as the news of his wedding was last December. Capilizing on knowledge of the work Mr. Grili vvas doing, he was completely taken off his guard by dismissing his class to see some movies only to walk into an auditorium'full of wait- ing people who were there to en- jo ythe effect that the “surprise party” may have. E:veryone vvas there, every- one who knew him and his wife ali ready to celebrate a wedding that Mr. Vatro Grili and his vvife had no intentions of public- ly celebrating. But on this occasion he could not very well evade being the host at a party that was prepared for him. In a full course supper that was served ali the guests were mat¬ erial^ satisfied vvhile the speeches after wards conveyed the best wishes of ali as- sembled. But it was not a cold evening full of stiff-front formalities which would tend to spoil any evening Instead there vvas a flow of quips, and conver- sation that was delightful to at- tend. Musič that enticed ali to have a swing with charming partners was also on the pro¬ gram. The most delightful part of the evening was introducted rather sponteanously when Mr. Ralph Danilo announced that Mr. Svetozar Banovec would enter- tain with a song. This intro- duction only served to whet the desire for more. And it was served. Artists who were pres¬ ent ali joined the špirit of the occasion and each fcontributed his or her share to the memories of the evening. Mr. Ivan Zor¬ man entertained with several compositions of his own and ac- companied ali the other singers. Besides Mr. Ivan Zor- Mrs. Antoniette Simčič, Miss Jeandtte Perdan, Mr. Plevnik, Mr. R. Perdan each contributed a little to the program to make it more enjoyable and to make it regretful that the clock on the \vall pointed to wee small hours and the consciousness that there will be another day ahead to- morrow. The party ended early in the morning. That is the story of an event- ful evening when an editor did hot learn the facts and was sur- prised.

When Ye Caroling Yeomen made their first appearance in an ex- hibition of arehery on the main stage of the Cleveland Public Auditorium. Among those who took part in the shooting were, James A. Seliškar, John A. Sel¬ iškar and Edward Surtz. John A. Seliškar, who is pres- ident of Ye Caroling Yeomen, agreed to enter the club in the show at the urgent invitation of Wm. J. Mally who is pre?i- dent of the Cleveland Indoor Ar- cheries. The main gallery of the company is located at Hur- on and Euclid in Playhouse square. The exhibition took the form of the indoor American round which consists of thirty arrows at the.respective distan- ces of 40 feet, 50 feet and 60 feet. The target wihich is used is much smaller than the regu- lation outdoor target. The teams were listed as fol- lows: Team No. 1, John A. Sel¬ iškar, Leslie M. Huttinger, Ed- ward L. Surtz; Team No. 2 A. A. Bungart, James A. Seliškar, Edmund A. Smolik. The divi- sion captained by A. A. Bung- gart won the close score of forty one points over the team led bv John A. Seliškar. While the shooting was not up to the club’s usual high standards, yet a re- markable improvement over a year ago could be noticed. It was only in the beginning of this year, moreover, that Ye Carol¬ ing Yeomen have taken up in¬ door archery. Scores have been on a steady upward grade. An outsanding item on the Sportsmens’ Show was the size of the archery exihibit. Not onlv were there two archery galleries but also there were numerous manufaeturers’ stands. The intei-est manifested by those who were fortunate enough to attend augurs well for the pop- ularity of archery as an enter- tainment and a šport.

In ali the talk of Oberamer- gau and the world’s greatest Passion PIay spectacle there is apt to be doubt that the Cleve¬ land Passion Play will not be as great a success as that of Ger- many but if efforts and earnest endeavor are to be counted the Cleveland Slovenes will have an opportunity of seeing the great¬ est and most ambitious specta¬ cle that was ever staged on the local platform. Nor is the talk of spectacdes an empty boast of a few who are listed in the čast or those who are interested in the production only. The re¬ hearsals though it is more than a month away are at such a stage of perfection that imme- diate presentation would do credit to any amateur organiza- tion. The finest details and the Turn to Page Four Selecting the play is praeti- cally a half of the work of pro- ducing it. While the other half lies in the rehearsals and the actual staging. Both of the conditioned have been met in the play that will be produced by the Comrades next Sunday evening at the Slovene Auditor¬ ium on St. Clair avenue. The first i requirement was satisfied when the three act comedy Color Blind was chosen. The other requirement of good play production has been satis¬ fied when the direetor Mr. V. J. Grili picked a splendid čast to play the various dharaeters of the čast. The čast though small in comparison with the casts of some plays that were pi'oduced behind the local footlights will be sufficient to keep the action of the play at tip-top motion ali througih the performance. Color Blind is one of the kind of plays that requires wide awake per¬ formers to make the staging what it should be. That also is a requirement that has been met and mastered when JohnhJ5 &J- ich, Miss Tomšič, John Štritof, Otto Tekautz, John Špeh, Mai’ie Vidmar, Julia Mramor, Matilda Jamnik, Rudy Lisch and J". Jarc, have been included in the čast. About their stage personalities there is nothing to say except that they are mentioned. Ali of them are sufficiently well known and were the play of only mediocre caliber the members of the čast would be sufficient en- ducement to spend a very en- joyable evening. But the ac- tors, as has been stated, are not the whole show. The play is an uaaportant part of the production (and t/hat the Comrades have surmounted very nicely by the selection of Color Blind which will be staged with the special arrangement of Walter H. Baker Company of Boston, Mass. Riotous, funny, colorful in its action, the play opens with two suspicious wives who are real women with doubts of the pre- i Turn to Page Four Enthusiastic 1 Who would not be enthusiastic \vhen he sat in one of the iseats of the per¬ formance of “Urh, grof celjski” ? Why should there be any hesi- tancy in saying that he were not enthusiastic ? It was Zar¬ jah success and it should be the pride of ali the Slovenes young or old to know that the singing society was capable of doing what it did with the material at hand. It was a large task to do what was needed to make the opera a success and Zarja meas- ured up to that task and made a grand success tiaking. Urh, grof celjski was the op¬ era production that Zarja per- formed as the Slovene contribu- tion to the Series of the Theatre of Nations performances that is being staged by the Plain Deal- er and the City of Cleveland. The Slovene production was also sponsored bv the Jugoslav SJo- vene club in which the members were diligent in the prepara- tions to make a success perhaps not as performers but they pro- vided the atmosphere which made it easier for others to vvork. Last Sunday’s opera was as splendid piece of vvork as could be desired. No' one could re- main in his seat vvatching the stage de\'elopment vvithout rec- ognizir.g. that the performers were more than pure amateurs they were a little more than that and the only word that ca n be used is excellent. From the opening curtain when the color¬ ful livelv groups began to fill the stage there was a feeling that the evening’s performance vvas to be something more than one expeeted to see and one vvas not disappointed in his expecta tions. Color, picturesque cos- tumes, beautiful chorus numbers excellently performed, the mas- terly singing of the soloists were the highlights of the eve¬ ning enough to make any one enthusiastic about the peiTorm- ance. One could take everv scene and reminisce pleasantly about the qualities and the smoothness of the action of the pleasant characteristicp that vvere so marvelously performed. Hundreds of people came to the opening of the Art Ekhibit of Mr. Božidar Jakac vvhich opened last evening in the low- er hali of the Slovene Auditor¬ ium and hundreds of people vvere amazed at the scope and size of the exhibit vvhich surpassed any picture that imagination could con jure. It is a spectacle to see more than two hundred pictures hung in an exhibit,of a single man vvhose vvork in ali the lines of One may be accused of being prejudiced because of national- ity in his enthusiasm and his praise hovvever there is reason to be eloquent vvhen even a critic of a citv nevvspaper gives it high praise it must have been a mar- velous production. Mr. James H. Rogers of the Plain Dealer says about “Urh, grof celjski” as follovvs: v Mostly it is light opera pro- ductions that are being given in the current series. Tihe Slo¬ vene offering, vvhich vvas “Urh, Count of Celje,” as ready no- ted is pleasant, tuneful, lively mušic, vvell adapted to the uses of amateur opera. The partici- pants vvere, of course, ali ama¬ teurs. But they vvere quite free from amateurish nervous- ness and uncertainty. Every one of the principals knew his or her part vvell, and played, and sang it vcith ali needed as- surance. The chorus, too, had been vvell drilled, and not only as to the mušic to be sung, but as to action, also. There vvas no avvk Turn to Page Four " The lovver hali vvhere the pic¬ tures are being exhibited and converted into a real picture gallery vvith specially construct- ed halls and galleries each con- taining some phase of Mr. Jak- ac’s extensive travels. Pictures from his ovvn native land, pic¬ tures of scenes familiar to every Clevelandetr, portraits of men vvhom every one in the commun- ity knovvs, scenes from the Af¬ ričan travels, snatches of life and color from the Grand Can- yon or pictures of Scenic Cali- fornia a|l have found a plače in the extraordinary exhibit. Even the graphic arts are vvell represented. Woodcuts, etch- ings, drypoints and ali the other examples of art are found some- vvhere in the galleries of the lovver hali of the Slovene Audi¬ torium. Those things can only be sug- gested they cannot be deseribed. The vvbole exhibit is beyond ali that. It must be seen. The amazement of the crovvd that slovvlv files its vvay from exhi- bit to exhibit to be more sui’- prised by the next picture than it has been by the preceeding is something that can be only ap- preciated in the seeing not in the telling. Mr. Jakac’s vvork in the pic¬ tures is enhanced by the beauty of tihe hali that has been beauti- fully decorated bv Julia’s Flovver Shoppe thru love of art alone. The floral decorations are artis- tic shovving an artistic hand in hhe decorations. Compliments of the decorator vvere many and abundant from the speetators who came to see the art exhi- bit. To keep interest and to make the exhibit more surely ali the fine arts have been combined to make the opening evening a real success. The Radio trio relieved any monotony that some may have had during the evening. At nine o’elock the program featuring Mr. Svetozar Banovec, that vvas scheduled for the efe- ning began and the crooning touches vvere given to a highly successful evening. The Exhibit vvill continue thru the vveek and vvill close on Mareh 20. The doors vvill be open every evening at Seven and close at Eleven o’clock, Satur- day and Sunday, the exhibit doors vvill be open at 2:00 P. M. and vvill be open until 11 P. M., on Saturday and until 8 P. M.. Sunday. An interesting pro¬ gram of mušic featuring local artists has been arranged for every evening making the Ex- hibit an artistic affair through- out.

Pag e CLEVELAND JOURNAL March 13th o ffllmlanii ilmmutl” The American Published every Thursday by Jugoslav Prin ting and Publishing Company Be a Slovene Anyone who attended last Sunday’s opera at the ~iittle theatre of the Public Auditorium was enthusiastic of the manner that the opera was produced. It is a fact that, no one went to see the Metropolitan Opera Co. going through some of the very heavy opera of the world masters, they went to see “Zarja” perform the comparatively unimportant “Urh, grof celjski” of Victor Parma, and they were satisfied that the Singing Society “Zarja” could perform the opera in such a style as it was produced. Credit of course goes primarily to ali the mem- bers of “Zarja” and its farsighted leaders who have a[ heart to undertake a difficult position. Enthusiasm of those who went to see the triumph does not cover the sad fact that there was a deficiency of young faces who should have been there to receive some of the špirit of pride in things Slovene and the quality that Slovenes are eapable of. And it was highly important that the young people would become interested in things Slovene for the other nationalities, due to the prominence given the national- ities by the general public, are not keeping stili about their own performances. Of late, it is almost a by word. that one hears everywhere. The Bohemians, the Hunga- rians and ali others vvho have appeared on the Theatre of Nations series of nationality presentations are enthu¬ siastic about their own nationality performances. “How vvas your play last Sunday?” “Were there many people there?” “How did vou like it?” these and many other questions are on the lips of the nationalities who have already performed. Interest is at fever heat but not only concerning the plays themselves but also concerning the nationalities, who they are, vvhere they come from, what do they do as a nation in Europe, Asia or from where- ever they hail. Giving much attention to nationalities is bound to do other things than what was directly intend- ed. The circle is evenvidening and more and more activ- ities are being focused on. The whole thing started with an Ali Nations Exposition and has gone through the Gtages of Ali Nations Dance, ali nations Gymnastic Car- nival, and the Theatre of Nations. Where it will eventual- j ly lead is only conjecture. Only recently the City of Cleveland has offered some public land for the disposal of the nationalities to be converted into nationality gardens in which some- thing characteristic could be evolved. Thus it is. Even- tually someone will get some other idea in nationality progress and then even greater opportunities will be of-! fered. The reaction of ali who are connected with the nationalities should produce a corresponding duty of knowing as much about the various nationalities and being able to answer ali serious questions that arise. It is therefore the duty of ali young and old—to get acq- uainted wi'th ali that there is connected with the national- ity. It is curious to note, that, in connection with gather- ing information about the nationalities literature is very scarce, due to the fact, that, some of those things are simply not vrntten because they are so common plače that they are not considered as matter to be written. Yet the matter of customs and costumes, practices, char- aeteristics and such matters are the natural questions that are being daily asked. How to get information is the problem until someone compiles a manuaj that will con- tain it. Until that time the only way to get ali the in¬ formation concerning one’^ nationality is. to attend ali the gatherings that are intended for inter-nationalitv culture so that the most superficial knowledge may be obtained. Slovene young people will do themselves a favor and a favor to the whole as a group if they took them¬ selves in earnest and patronized things that are connect¬ ed with nationality so that questions concerning them¬ selves, and the places where their parents come from, what the nationality does, could be answered in such fashion that there would be no doubt that the Slovenes are as intelligent as any other nationality.

This book is sure to appeal to ali readers, young and old alike. Mr. Mukerji relates the adventures and education of an eleven year old boy who is brought up in the jungle, among the animals. His education is kno.wledge of the ways of the tiger and the leopard, and the meaning of nature and the plače of man among his brothers. Mr. Mukerji is a convincing and thrilling story teller, he v/rites with charm and style, ali of vvhich is preserved in the trans- lation of Josip Vidmar.

The Slov w made efforts of As an aid to the singing and also an encourage- ment in that line Luther composed his cathechism in verse and adapted it to song thus encouraging the use of singing stili more. The Slovene reformers used Luthers vvork as their model and they also issued cathechisms on this form. Trubar himself published six cathechisms in verse and vvith melodies “Auslegung in gesangvveis.” In the Ab- ecedarium he rhymed the Lord’s prayer for the use of the people. Trubars hvmnal vvas preceeded by the one that vvas published by the radical Kolumbner group. Even at the time of Trubar’s stay at Ljubljana, Kolumbner vvas coliecting the hymns for his book but Trubar vvould not consent to publication due, as he claimed, because of the poor rhythm. Even Trubar’s refusal did not hamper the publication for it vvas published in 1563 under the editorship of Juricic. The hymnal vvas pub¬ lished at Urah in the printery of Ungnad. The edition vvas not widely accepted because Trubar did ali to sup- press it. His main objection vvas some of the hymns contained violent attacks on the Catholie Clergy, vvhich protest he more than negated vvith his “Cerkvene or- dingo” vvhich vvas mentioned earlier. After four years Trubar’s ovvn hymnal appeared. The “Church Hymnal” contains the hymns some vvith musical notation and some vvithout them but vvith an indication of the airs to vvhich they vvere to be sung. The references are mostly to vvell knovvn airs. It’s preface shovvs clearly the purpose of the publication. Even the litle page bears the testimony to the main purpose “Ta celi iCatehismus, eni Pfalmi, inu tih vig- shih Godii Stare inu Noue krfzhanske Piefne of P. Truberia, S. Krelia inu ocl drugih sloshene.” It vvas ev- ident that the purpose of the hymnal vvas to serve as a rhymthed cathechism of the faith. After this edi¬ tion three other editions appeared; in the third Jurij Dalmatin is represented for the first time vvith some of his vvorks. In 1575 Trubar published another hymnal con¬ taining three' Spiritual Poems” vvith the mušic, vvhich he compcsed during a “long and serious illness.” To- gether vvith his hymnal he also published six songs taken from the Old Testament (mostly Psalms) to- gether with a Christmas carol by Schvveiger. Almost simultaneouslv Dalmatin’,s “Passion” appeared in Ljub¬ ljana. The whole collection mentioned vvas in cluded in the fourth edition of the Hymnal vvhich appeared in 1579, under the editorship of Trubar and Dalmatin. This edition contains an inereased number of poems. Sixth edition contains a stili greater number and in- cludes also the .morning and evening hymns that Bo- horcic composed for his children. The last edition of the Hymnal appeared in 1595 under the editorship of Felician Trubar, and contained stili greater number of nevv poets and authors. Some vvere also adapted from the Kolumbner—Juricic hymnal. The hymnal vvas not the vvork of any individual man but a symposium of ali the Protestant vvriters of the time. It is interesting to note that the book in¬ ereased the number of authors as the editions appear¬ ed alid vvhen the final edition vvas published the first contributors vvere already in their graves. It took the hymnal 45 vears to become vvhat it finally be- čame. The final edition contains 100 hymns, 69 of vvhich have the mušic attached German, Czech and Latin vvere the source of 46 of the collection vvhile the ma¬ jor^ of them are the original compositions of the men vvho contributed to the various editions, Some of the Hymns though original in texture shovv the in¬ fluence of the German 'Protestants, so great is the In¬ fluence that some seem to be free translations of the German masters of the time. Of the individuai au¬ thors Dalmatin is represented vvith 28 compositions, closely follovved by Trubar’s 24 and Krelj’s 11. 24 of the hymns are anonymous four of vvhich are old Slovene church songs; Christmas song, tvvo verses of the old Easter song a song for Penticast, and the ten commandments. Nor did the old songs always have the old form. T’iey vvere changed to fit the dogmas of the Protestant religion. The prosody and the metric arrangement of the hvmns are nvt arranged according to the strict rules of poetry but have been composed according to the špirit of the mušic that accompanied them. Movement does not depend upon strict meter or poetical feet. Their form closely follovvs the system of the Meister singers who composed their composition by the 'adap- tation '„o the musical movement. The aecents are counted rather than measured as is the čase in strict poetr /. Rhythm is arranged according to verses rather than the sound of the lines. Frequentlv alliteration and assonance take plače of the rhyming of the final vvorks. In general the quality of the Slovene hymnal is surpassed by the quality of the German Protestant Iymnal. The popularity of the Ilymnal can he estimated from the manv editions. Their use vvas not confined to the Protestant churches and Protestant Services but thev vvere used by the Catholics until they vvere for- bidden to be used because of their anti-Catholic na¬ ture. Nevertheless it served as a sample of the Cath- olic hymnal vvhich came later vvhich contained some of the hvmns of the Protestant book as late as the middie of the 18th eentury. VI. _Literary work of Catholie clergy, Contemporarv manuseripts It had been stated before that the defense of the Catholie clergy ovving to the conditions of the times vvere necessarily very vveak. That condition remained for some time to the embarassment of the Catholie Church. Had the clergy had .the same advantages Protestantism among the Slovenes vvould have be¬ come a grand gesture rather than an era in the history of the Slovenes and the Slovene literature. There iis no really prominent preacher in the ranks of the Cath- olic clergy of that time. And there vvas no prominent literary priest vvho could use the invention of printing as effectively as did the Protestant reformers.

In the first game the Sokols vvalked off vvith the Geo. Wash- ingtons 18 to 2. The Sokols passed the bali around their op- ponents at vvill and gave them no chance to score except tvvo free tosses. In the second skirmish, St. Ann’s came out to rain baskets from ali angles, and shovvered the Spartans 41 to 5. Doljak and Pečk starred vvith thirteen and eighteen points respective- ly.

The final game of the eve¬ ning turned out to be the best battle of the carnival. The Flash- es shovved passing real ability and easily won from the Com¬ rades seventeen to nine. The Comrades greatest difficulty was in trying to prevent Laur- ich, the star guard, from scor- ing. Hovvever, this Flash lived up to her name and proved too elusive. Angie Snider did best for the Comrades. It novv begins to look as tho the play-off for the champion¬ ship vvill be betvveen the Sokols and the Flashes. Hovvever, the St. Ann’s stili have a chance, for they ihave a game to play vvith each of the leading teams.

Just think of seeing John Štritof, play the part of a lover and Milly Tomšič as his sweet- heart! Wait till you see these two in action! They do not have to dim the lights either. Can you imagine Otto Tekautz Jr., as the big courageous punching pugilist, and Johnny Špeh as the sedate married man who is in fatuated with the maid of the house? Wait till you see the celebra- ted, stage star that causes ali the confusion. Know who she is? No one but Marie Vidmar. Do Juli-a Mramor and Matilda Jamnik hate her?

Ali these were quite promin- ent in last Sunday’s perform- ance given by “Zarja” in the Little Theatre. The rhythm, melody and har- mony of the opera “Urh, grof celjski” were just wonderful. This beautiful opera was very vvell interpreted by Mrs. A. Sim¬ čič soprano, Mrs. Ivanush, mez- zo-soprano, Mr. Louis Belle, ten¬ or and Mr. Frank Plut, baritone tvho sang the leading roles. Mr. Vatro Grili, Joe Jarc and Anton Eppich, Joe Birk, to- gether with Ijhe strong Zarja Chorus, also sa-ng exceptionally well. The duet, by Mrs. Simčič and Mr. Belle in the frst act was rec- ognized as one of the most pleas- ing melodies in the opera. The tenor’s serenade in second act — the duet by the heroine and Mrs. Ivanush, and the courageous song by Mr. F. Plut also were given a great deal of comment in their favor. The last act which included the dancing of the “Kolo” by the gorgeously dressed merry- makers, was based on such strong rhythm that the audience had quite some difficulty in try- ing to refrain from dancing. With this successful presen- tation by “Zarja” the Slo veneš have shown the American audi¬ ence their abilitv in mušic and dramatics as in other typess of culture!

GIRLS’ FESTIVAL Little bit of blue —then a d-ash of red — and maybe a touch of yellow —and then with a streak of orange the picture is complete. Just what does color mean to an artist? How often that ques- tion has been asked. Upon questioning, Mr. Boži¬ dar Jakac, for his interpreta ti on of color, he told me this: “iColor may be a great deal to some — but to me it is a second hand matter. My most favorite colors are black and white, which stand for the be- ginning and end — life and death! These are the two ex- tremes, with- which I find most enjoyment.” Red — for instance — may signify life — vim and strength. Blue is possibly the smybol for coolness, tranquility and peace- fulness. Green may represent nature, but to me black and white are the two opposites which I use to express my in- nermost fellings!” OBITUARY A festival in which it is esti- mated 12,500 girls, ali members of some organization in the city, will be held in the Musič Hall of the Public Auditorium on Sat- urday afternoon March 22. The Festival will be known as “Al- addins Lamp Festival.” The girls organizations to be represented in this mamouth festival are Girl Scouts, Cleve¬ land Girls Council, Čamp Fire Girls, Girls Reserves, Library Clubs, and members of the Mer- rick House, Friendly Inn, Social mission, Phyliss Wheatly As- sociation, University Center, and Alta House. Sixteen groups from the Ali Nations Council and J. H. Gour- ley Commissioner of Recreation are assisting the girls in their endeavor.
