& THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, JANUARY 20, 1930 PAGE SEVEN Ay | Installment Eleven Janet Lane, a stenographer in an insurance office, is struggling against an inclination to fall in love with James Warren. There is only one real objection to Jimmy in Janet's mind. He is poor. isn't greedy for _ money, but she longs for a nice ad a far ilferey existence : one sl s always known. _ But she is quite mistaken 2 Jimmy Warren. Really he is the son of the Miracle Oil Com- pany's president, and he is only working in the filling station as the first step toward learning all the details of his father's busi- nexs. Jimmy fell in love with Janet the first time he saw her and his father about her. Mr. Warren made Jimmy promise not to disclose the real state of affairs to Janet until they were engaged. He did consent, however, to hav- ing Jimmy introduce Janet to Mildred Warren, Jimmy's sister. Mildred lived in a luxurious stu- dio apartment and painted pic-, tures. She liked Janet very much and asked to paint her pot- trait in a Quaker costume that had once to the elder Mrs. Warren, now dead. Janet has just returned from her first sitting and is making ready to go out with Adelaide Morris, her best friend; Jimmy and a friendof Adelaide's, Butch Krause. Janet has never met Butch, but Ade- . laide is quite taken with him. Janet is far quieter in her tastes and doesn't always like Adelaide's friends, but no matter how they differ the two girls remain loyal *o each other. Jake's Place Jimmy was to call for Janet at half past 6, and at 6.15 she was dressed and ready. "You look mighty nice, Janet," her father told her when she came into the living room where hé was reading his paper. "Thank you, Father," she went to him and perched on the arm of his chair, "See this little bunch of flow- ers? Jimmy's sister gave it to .me this afternoon to wear tonight. Isn't it sweet?" Mr, Lane nodded after a brief look at the posy, "Kind a old-fashioned isn't it?" Janet laughed. * "It matches me, . Daddy, I'm old-fashioned, you know, 160." "Maybe you are," he said absently, going back to his headlines. A "ring at the bell announced Jimmy's arrival, and Janet opened the door for him. "My, oh, my," he cried, "isn't she sweet? All dressed up just for me," and behind his bantering tone Janet felt a masculine possessiveness that thrilled and terrified her at the same time. She must not hear these tones in his voice, she wasn't going to see him after tonight, she wasn't going to think of him seriously at all. This tumult of protest raged in her mind while she went through the formula FI0k saying good-by to her parents and exchanging chatter with Jimmy. It was only when the door closed behind them and they were in the darkness of the entryway for an in- stant that she relaxed, "Silly," she scolded herself. "Just have a good time tonight and forget about the futurgd® Butch The crowded living room: of the Morrises' home was brilliantly light- ed, 'every lamp contributing its glow and showing the garish furnishings at their' very worst. Adelaide led them in. and performed the introductions. Butch was resplendent in evening clothes, Jimmy grinned to himself and thought: "Poor relations, that's what Janet and I are tonight." His dark business suit and Janet's straight black velvet coat and small satin tiirban made them seem very modest beside Butch and Adelaide. "Adelaide had on her favorite dress, a very tight, very short, very reveal- ing one of pink satin, covered with sequins and with floating tit'le panels. Butch was a big, florid handsome young fgllow with a bluff manner and a loud voice. "Let's go baby," he said to Ade- laide as soon as Jimmy and Janet had LOVE SHY - been introduced. "Papa's hungry, and I'll bet the little queen in black is ready for soup and fish, too. How about.it, brother? Shall we step on it --on your way, then." "He hegded them before him down to the street and * into a powerful shiny sport car. "Everybody in front, he ordered. "Crowding never bothers me--the closer they come the better I like 'em -- suit you, Baby?" he squeezed Adelaide's arm, as he spoke and fairly lifted her into the roomy front seat. Janet and Jimmy got in, then Butch went around and cased himself in under the wheel. "All set? Here we go." The car started with a roar and a jerk and Butch laughed at their involuntary exclamations. "Still there?" he shouted above the noise of the engine. "Don't want to leave anybody at home." "I'l stick," Jimmy told him. "But mind the corners. 1 haven't got wings." Butch roared with laughter and quite suddenly every onc caught his mood. Janet, who had been dismayed at first at Dutch's hearty manner, found herself looking forward to the evening with relish. Butch might be noisy and loud, but he was a good fellow, what was it Adelaide had said of him? "He's got a heart of gold, Janet, honest he has." They threaded their way through the bridge traffic before Butch asked Jimmy where they were to go for dinner. "How. about Jake's place on 43rd?" Jimmy asked. "0. K. Butch called back. "Swell steak there." Neither ganet nor Adelaide knew anything about Jake's place, famous though it is from coast to coast for fine food. Nor did it seem an expen- sive place to them when they reached it. It was old, dusty rafters stretched across the room, and dim old pic- tures hung on the walls. There were booths for parties of four and in each booth was a plain brown wooden table with a red calico cloth drawn across it. Jimmy gathered up the menu cards when they were seated and said: "The dinner's on me--let ' me order." No one made any objection and Janet saw Butch send Jimmy an ad- miring look. "That's swell," Butch said aloud. "That guy knows his turtle soup--no dame's going to put anything over on him--how about a drink while we wait?" He pulled a flask out of his pocket as he spoke and said to Jimmy: "Get some ginger ale for the skirts: we'll take ours straight. Okeh?" "Suits me," Jimmy said, "if you're sure it isn't poison water." "Sure?" Butch asked the question and roared with laughter, then he winked at Adelaide. "Why shouldn't I be sure?" and he laughed loudly again to Janet's complete mystifica- tion. "I'm going to drink straight ginger ale," she shid. "I don't like whisky and it makes my head swim." "Then I'll drink yours and mine, tdo," Adelaide declared. | It puts pep into me, Did you'bring rye, Butch? 1 Jove rye and ginger ale--mmm," she sniffed at the flask Butch profered. "Heavenly!" Jimmy had finished ordering the dinner and while Janet sipoed her plain ginger ale she saw him gulp down a small quantity of the rye, then look at Butch in surprise. "That's real stuff, Butch" he said, "twenty years old if it's a day and made in--let me see," he tasted the drop left in his glass lingeringly, "made in" England and aged in wood." You said it, brother," Butch re- turned, beaming, "it's swell to have a guy drink your whisky who knows what he's drinking and doesn't treat real stuff like it was shoe polish. Have another shot?" Jimmy smiled and shook. his head. "Not for me. That put just the edge 1 like on my appetite--~whisky--any drink ought to be handled with re- spect--" "Yeah," Butch agreed, slightly out of his depth. "What's that gag about 'good whisky is a drink for gentle- men, not -swine'--one of my cus," but he did not finish the sentence. A short heavy-set man had stopped by their table and stood looking down at Butch, ignoring the rest of the party. hey did me so much g another box. After taking this I who suffers with their back."

The man addressed as Flatfoot nod- ded his head, "Yes, I like to look at you, Butch," "Then do your looking when there aren't any ladies around," Butch snapped. You ain't got a thing on me and you know it," his voice was almost a grow! and Janet felt fear clutch at her heart. Butch sensed the tension and changed his tone to one of less threatening timbre, "Draw up a chair, Flatfoot, and let me in- troduce you to my friends. Have a drink--this is good rye, you know" "Yes, 1 know," said Flatfoot, "but I'm not having any, I'm moving on now--and, I'm glad I saw you." Before Butch could answer Flat- foot moved away, the menace in his last words lingering over the dinner table. Jimmy broke the tension by lighting 'a cigarette and saying re- gretfully, "That promised to be ex- citing. Your friend Flatfoot is an ugly cuss, Butch. He'd look a lot bet- ter if some one changed the shape of his nose for him, wouldn't he?" Butch's face was a dull red. "I'll change it for him some day," he mut- tered. "Bad mans," Jimmy myrmured, and they all laughed. Butch" joining in more heartily than the others, The dinner arrived, a planked steak for four with all the trimmings, and the rest of the evening passed without event. Janet couldn't help liking Butch. Under his coarse man- ner was a sincerity that made him somehow attractive. She spoke of this to Jimmy when he took her up on the porch of her house to bid her good-night. Adelaide and Butch were still in the car, oblivious to time or the possibility of any one's observing their necking. Jimmy leaned against the porch railing and stuck his hands in his pockets. "Yes, he's a square shooter, that's what I like about him, No matter what he does, he's square according to his lights--and that counts, you know." "Do you really like him?" Janet asked in surprise. "He's pretty dif- ferent from you." Jimmy grinned to himself in the darkness. "Oh, I don't know," he said, "I'm a working man, too." The words brought Janet rudely awake to her resolution not to be- come too interested in Jimmy. She said good night hurriedly and left a puzzled Jimmy to walk down the steps, whistling to himself, as he made his way home, preferring to walk rather than remind Butch of his promise to drive him over to the boarding house.

We did not know, and few of the people north of the C.P.R. tracks know, that there is on Albert Street South, near Bloor street, a splendid auditorium, capable of seating about 350 to 400 people, with full stage appurtenances, scenery, footlights, drops and every- thing necessary for the staging of plays. As we have said, it was a re- velation. Larger by half again as Rotary Hall, it provides the people of the Ukrainian community with op- portunities for entertainment on a scale which is denied those who live to the north, and are apt to consider themselves just a little more fortu- nate than their "foreign" neighbors. The hall was filled when we arrived there on Saturday evening, filled with men, women. and children. The chil dren looked like any other children who might be seen anywhere in a Canadian community -- bright-eyed, keen, well-dressed, mischief-loving, healthy youngsters, gathered with their fathers and mothers to enjoy the weekly dramatic performance staged cvery Saturday night in this An Active Society i The particular group which we had the privilege of sceing in action was an association of the St. Georges Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, with an unpronouncable Ukrainian name, drawn from the section of the "old country" from which the most of these Ukrainians came, and, as near as we can give it in English, known as the "Seech" Association, of which the musical and dramatic soci- ety was but one section, therc being others devoted to athletics, educa- tional work, and other activities. And this group, we were told, was only one of many. In three other halls in the vicinity, one just across the street, other entertainments of a, similar patuse were going on at the same time. And on Sunday; oth- er plays, of a type suitable to the day, and expressing the higher side of life, were also to be given in these halls. The tremendous energy which these people put into the expression of their dramatic instincts can be judged from the fact that plays are presented every week, The various parties of actresses and actors may alternate every second week, but two weeks are allowed for the rehearsal of the various plays, as a rule, although in some cases one week is sufficient for the rehearsing of the plays. A Tremendous Production The drama which we saw on Satur- daly night was a tremendous produc- tibn. It was a drama in five acls, explain in English, it indicated that the modern trends in moviedom had penetrated even to the minds of the Ukrainians, for the title, we were told, was the first line of the "theme song" of the play. As Mr. 'Petrow- sky explained to us, as nearly as he could translate it into English, this line would read, "Oh, Hritz, Do not go to the frolic tonight." Hritz, it may, be explained, was the hero of this triangle tragedy, and, as might be judged, the theme song was an appedl nl his sweetheart not to go to last week in connection with Nor- thern Ontario mining development.

So that, of the play title of the could get it, gives the It was a tremendous drama, sup- We could not, of course, it was all about, The despairing love of the heroine, the cunning and devil- iry of the villain, and all the other emotions were expressed by action, by gesture, by look, so expressive that language counted for nothing, and only the dramatic self-expression was required to tell what it was all about. And it was no light task that was at- tempted, There were five dcts, each of them lasting for at' least. three: quarters of an hour. The curtain rose for the first act shortly after eight-thirty, and, with only the usual, average intermissions 'for changing the scenery for the néxt act, the play continued "until after one o'clock 'in the morning, nearer one-thirty in fact, "The Strange Interlude," that sen- sational play which wis seen in To- ronto recently; was considered an ex- pary.oné for length, for it started at 5.30 and the last curtain did not fall until eleven o'clock. But 'there was a difiner intermission of an love and three quarters, and there tween each, which considerably cut down the time of actual production. Tut here was a play Jaating for almost five solid hours, with only brief in- terinissions between each of five acts to change the scenery, What effort, what concentration of 'thought and study were represented. in. that, pro- duction, for it must be remembered that. it was presented affer only two weeks of rehearsals. Prompter Worked Hard This short period of rehearsal pro- bably explains 'a strange custom which features these Ukrainian plays. In the centre of the, stage, by the footlights, is a box-like structure, with its open side facing the stage. Only about a foot of this is raised above the stage level, the: opening going down into the space under- neath. In this box stands the promp- ter, facing tlie players, and from there his voice, in a hushed whisper, could be heard, guiding the actors and actresses through the intricate thread of their parts. And the ac- tors and actresses accepted this prompting with a nonchalance that v ¢ There was not a single noticeable halt. There was no indication,"from the stage, that any prompting was needed. Trained to of Mamishaind Hritz, and, using an the cues were picked up and passed on skilfully, and the hushed whisper became just ke a bass viol accompa niment to the dynamic expression of the play by those on the stage. Scenery and Costumes The stage settings were remarkable for their beauty, and for their inter- pretation of scenes of the homeland. The costumes were all true to the national Ukrainian type, colorful, rich in embroidery and ornamentation, and, in the mass, providing a feast of beauty for the eye of the onlooker. To the Ukrainians there, it was a touch of that land over the sea from whence they had come, but to one unused to their national costume, it was a gorgeous picture, one to revel in, and one to carry away as a vivid impression. - The Drama Now to the drama itself. A brief synopsis will suffice. The names are given in as nearly as possible the English counterpart of the Ukrainian pronounciation, The theme was built around the love of Marusha, 'a pretty Ukrainian maiden, and Hritz, a tall, handsome youth, and the effort of Homa, a deformed hunchback, to separate them go that he himself | might, by his cunning separate the two lovers, By his cunning, he plants suspicions of each other in the minds age 'old puethod, these try flirting with other companions as a means of | arousing gthe jealousy of each other. Hritz finds a willing companion for his flirtation in another beautiful | young girl, Helena, while Marusha | finds another admirer, Potop, who is driven on to his flirtation by the urg- | ing of Homa, who gloats over the suc- | cess of his plan when it results in| open combat, during a festival, be-| tween Hritz and Potop. | Then Homa, hoping to bring Mar- usha to him, burns down her home, and, meeting her in her distress, of- fers her all the assistance in his pow- er, offers to help her. parents, and acts generally as the fairy godfather to the family. She is touched by his offer, and apologizes for having made fun of the deformed creature, and] finally kisses him as a reward, after offering to treat him as a brother. The hunchback feels that success is in his grasp as his insinuations drive the two lovers farther and farther apart, | A Shakespearean Climax Marusha, desperate for love of Hritz, goes to visit a witch, who gives her what is supposed to be a love potion, which, if taken by Hritz, will bring back his love for the unhappy girl, Then comes the tremendous fin- al act. By stealth, Marusha gives Hritz the drink, but, instead of giving hér a harmless love potion of juices of flowers and weeds, the witch has given her a deadly poison, and Hritz drops dead at the feet of his lover. This is the last straw which deprives Marusha of her reason. She becomes insane, and in a scene of dramatic in- tensity of emotion, after Homa has seen the terrible result of his plans, she sings the theme song over the dead body of her lover, to bring down the final curtain. Talented Principals . A drama almost Shakespcarian in its dramatic intensity, the play was acted magnificently. The part of Ma- rusha was taken by Mrs, Anna Sta sict, a gifted young woman, with a magnificent singing voice, and re- markable powers of dramatic expres- sion. Her whole soul seemed to be in her acting, so much so that in one of her agonized songs, the tears streamed down hgr cheeks. Another remarkable piece of acting was that of Mr. Holavat, as Homa, the hunch- back, crooked of mind and of body. His makeup was reminiscent of that of Lon Chaney in "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," and his cunning, his stealth, and his hatred for all who stood in his way, were portrayed so vividly that one could understand it, even although the words themselves were meaningless. 4 There was, of course, some comic relief to the play. One could hardly have stood its intensity without that. The comedian of the play, one who created much laughter, and excelled in Cossack dances and songs, was Dimitroc, just one of the party of re- vellers, portrayed with great skill by . Lesenko. Other minor parts which introduced an element of humor were those of Marusha's mother and fa- ther, a drunken scene by the former creating ch' mirth, although we could nof te\ what it was all about, except by the grotesque acting. The part of Hritz, the jealous and suspicious lover, was well taken by Stanley Meczowsk, an actor of much ability, while Drina, his sister, the friend and confidante of Marusha, was played by May Kalenk, Annie Baran portrayed the part of Helena, Hritz's partner in flirtation, and an- other splendid actress - and soloist, while Mary Marsh gave an eerie and convincing performance as the witch of the play. Deli ig The large chorus of singers provid- ed a musical touch to the drama that was very enjoyable, their carols and choruses being rendered with sweet- ness ahd harmony that made a strong appeal to the ear. And there were folk dances, which, with the native costumes, presented a pleasing picture to the eye. ence was ripped Through the whole five hours, the audience sat gripped with the emo- tion of the thing. At times a child would cry, but the mother, with un. ashamed frankness, would immediate~ ly apply nature's best soother, and the cries were silenced. The young folks, children of school age, others in their teens, sat through it all with | cager interest and attention, as if they, even at that tender age, fully understood. the emotion and the tra. gedy of what they were seeing and ang ; { xchange of Culture And yet Saturday night was not an isolated occasion, a single bi ent required, in the community's life, It wd a re- gular weekly feature, one to which that community of people from across the sea looked forward as giving them a feast of memory, an occasion when the girls who took part in the play laid aside the language which they use in public school and in phe collegiate institute, and used the old language of their forefathers, For, we were told by Mr, Petrowsky, practically alt of the girls in the play were attending school in Oshawa, most of them the collegiate, learning to be good Canadian citizens bring- ing to Little Ukrainia, in that south- ern section of the city, something of what Canada has to offer to the poly- got peoples who come to her shores rom all parts of Europe, and, at the same time, giving to their new coun- try their contribution of art and dra- ma which can, in time, help to pro- duce something distinctive as repre- sentative of the melting-pot which is Canada, . A Surprising People The night in Little Ukrainia has made a deep impression on o i It has given a new appreciatic those people upon whom the averag Britisher is too apt to look with a feeling akin to scorn, These arc the people whom one occasiona referred to as "bohunks" or "polac They are neither. They arc with a culture of their own culture which, in some way put: people of more favored | to shame. And they are trying, in their own way, with the light which they have, to be worthy of the | of opportunity which they have : ted as their home, and to become thy Canadians, The Application As we drove home from that night's experience, we could not help thinking that it is unfortunate that there are not closer relationships be- tween the people north of the four corners, north of the C.P.R. tracks, and those to the south. We ¢ much we can give to them; they something they can give to us. it is only by inter-mingling on¢ with the other that these two peoples can ever become cemented as one in the building up of shawa, And we thought it would be only a duty to let others know of our experience, an experience which is open to ev- ery citizen of Oshawa, so that they, with a wuld ations | too, could go down there, spend an evening in the halls of Little Ukrainia and come back feeling, as we felt, that it was good to be there. Calling attention to flooding, a member of Abram (near Wigam) District Council said that when one heard of catching fish in their kitchens it was time something was done.
