Two Great Jewish Theaters in Moscow

cal, full of energy, holiness, youth,
laughter-the spirit, not of the bible,
but of young Communism.
The Jewish Kamerny, under the di-
rection Of another great regisseur,
Granovsky, has fused many of the
tendencies Of the new Russian theater
into synthesis that is something so
new that it is almost impossible to
write about. It must be seen and
heard to be understood. l despair of
making it clear, it would be like try
ing to tell anyone that the greatest
living singer could be heard in Rus
STA, if Chaliapin had not come to Am
erica to convince skeptics that he
really was the worlds greatest singer.
The Jewish Kamerny will soon visit
America, too; and perhaps will con
vince skeptics here more than any
words of mine.
saw three productions Of the Jew
ish Kamerny; Goldfadden's old play,
The Witch, and play called 1900. 600, .
and group Of one-act PAROLES on
the methods of other Jewish theaters.
OF these plays l thot The Witch the
finest.
The Witch has been often given at
Jewish theaters in America, but in
Moscow it was not the sentimental
tale Of the poor little silly orphan
girl over which so many Jewish ma
irons have shed their plentiful tears
All the vulgar sentimentality and
cheap music-hall hokum has been
eliminated from the piece; only the
fantasy and humanity of the story
have remained.
The production cannot be compared
to anything we have yet seen in Am
erica. The Moscow Art theater and
Balieff's Chauve Souris are not fair
samples Of modern Russian theatrical
art. They are remnants of the old; in
Russia the Moscow Art theater is re-
garded by the younger men as sort
Of museum, where ancient modes of
acting and scenery are presented by
old people who have learned nothing
since the nineteenth century.
The Jewish Art theater models
itself on this old school Of photo
graphic art, and therefore its per
Torrance Of Goldfadden's Witch that
I saw in New York was as unoriginaI
and dull as play mounted by Be
lasco.

DANCE FOR BENEFIT
OF WHITE RUSSIAN
PRISONERS IN POLAND

The Workers Home, together
with the White Russian Peoples
Society will give a concert and
dance this Sunday, April S, at scho-
enhofen Hall, corner Milwaukee and
Ashland avenues, for the benefit of
the political prisoners in Poland.
Many Of the White Russians who
are fighting for the liberation of the
territory forcibly annexed by Po-
land and which Is In fact part Of the
Soviet Republic Of White Russia,
are suffering in the jaiis of Poland.
Only few days ago, the capitalist
press reported how two of such
prisoners who were on their way to
be exchanged for Polish prisoners
in Soviet Russia, were shot down
by the Polish chief Of police.
All who are In sympathy with the
liberation movement. in Poland are
invited to attend this affair and
thereby help the victims Of the
Polish hourgeoisie. The concert will
start at 4 p. m.

At the Jewish Kamerny in Moscow
however, the play has been made
into theatrical symphony. Every.
thing is in the key of young, vigor-
Gus fantasy. The costumes, the
scenery, with its planes and levels.
the dancing, the singing, the speech,
the gestures, all have been planned
and harmonized. Nothing is left to
chance; each move on the stage, every
word uttered, is as skilfully planned
in advance as ballet is planned.
Granovsky's ideal has been the syn
ethic theater of which Gordon Craig
and other aesthetics have dreamed.
He has achieved the synthetic thea
ter; theatre where word, move
ment, music, gesture and dance are
woven into a unity from which one
cannot eliminate anything; not the
gesture of a hand.

one convey the great work of Granov-

speak for itself when it comes here.
All l can do is prophesy that it will
create a revolution in the minds of
the younger American dramatists, ac-
tors and musicians. Many of them
have been feeling their clumsy way
toward work like this; and the per-
formances of the Jewish Kamerny
will give them clear picture OF what
they have wanted in the theater. 1t
will start new epoch on the Ameri-
can stage.

Hires Substitute to do His
Federal Jail Sentence
Second Case of Kind From Stearns
County Found by u. S. Officers
- Decision PENDING

1t seems to have become settled
tradition among federal prisoners
from Stearns county tried at Ferous
Falls to get substitutes to serve tbe;,
sentences, say federal court attaches
these days. Last year the two Mach
brothers, Anton, and George wars
found guilty of liquor violations and
another brother undertook to imper.
senate Anton and serve his sentence
OF one year at Leavenworth. The de-
ceptlon was discovered and severely
penallzed by Judge William Can't.
!, Another case of the same kind
has been brought to light in Stearns
county. In the term of federal
court held at Fergus Falls last De.
cember, John Connors was convicted
on two liquor sales near Melrose and
sentenced to serve 6 months in the
Becker county Jail.
In order to give Conner a chance
to get his affairs into shape, he was
granted stay of sentence to Feb. 2,
1925, on which day a substitute inn.
personating Conner reported at De-
troit jail and began serving the SEN
tence. The case came up last week
before Judge Cant ait Duluth, but
further details are lacking-St. Cloud

1925 Receipts of County
Fair Heaviest for Years
Local Live Stock Wins

1926 should break all records.
1t is impossible at this time to as
certain the exact financial status of
the 1925 fair. There will be a balance
left in the treasury after all bills are
paid. Secretary Hillerud has the
checks for all premiums about ready
and these will be mailed within a
short time. 1t will be necessary to Dor
row some money to pay these pre-
miums because the $1,700 refund
from the state will not be available
until shortly after the first of the
year.
Last year the association defaulted
ON the payment of interest on the
outstanding certificates of indebted
ness. The 1924 and 1925 interest will
be paid this year.
The following tabulated summary
of receipts for the 1925 fair from all
sources will be of interest:
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1925-10-08

In spite of the bad weather last
week the total receipts for the 1925
Stearns County fair were the heaviest
for several years, over $1,000 more
than in 1924.
The 1925 fair demonstrated very
clearly that the late fair pays best,
and it is safe to predict that this plan
will be followed in the future. 1t is
also practically a certainty that an
other year will see evening shows.
The Stearns county fair is about the
only one of the larger county fairs
not conducting night fairs.
There is much favorable comment
heard on all sides on the quality of
the exhibits and the class of enter
tainment provided. Another year the
highways leading to Sank Centre will
be in much better condition and the
plans even now in the making for

JOSEPH FRANK WINS
GOLF TOURNAMENT
WINNER FORCED TO GO TO 10TH
HOLE TO DEFEAT PHILIP
STEINER
HINES TRIMS HARRISON
FIRST ANNUAL JUNIOR EVENT
VERY SUCCESSFUL CONSO.
LATION LEFT

The championship flight of the jun
Tor Tournament furnished some read
entertainment on the local links this
past week. Joseph Frank, a Sopho-
more IN the Public Schools waged a
heated battle with Phil Steiner,
Senior, for the Junior Golf cham
plonship of the city. Joe won the
coveted prize on the 18th hole, when
ne shot "birdie" four, Steiner get
ting seven, against strong head-on
wind. 1t was brilliant finish and a
brilliant match, and the outcome was
watched by many even though the
weather was very inclement.
Inc two golfers played even golf
at the 18th, and the first hole was
chosen as the play-off. Joe's third
shot, a brassie drive from the second
hill, went straight to the pin and
deposited itself few feet from the
cup; Phil wasn't within putting range
on his third, and Joe had an easy
Tune in putting in his fourth shot.
Stelner's score for the 10 holes was
lower than the champions, and his
play was more consistent. The wind
handicapped both players with their
drlves, and very few low scores were
turned in.
Joseph Frank is a high-type bow.
and is well qualified to represent The
young golfers of this city. His NAV
ing was somewhat superior to the
paying OF any of the others and he
wen deserves the honors he has earn
ea. Joe won the medalist trophy in
the first match two weeks ago.

Sunday evening about seven-thirty
Mr.. and Mrs. F. A. Fischer and lit
tie daughter Dorothy who were re-
turning to their home in this city
turned over with their Ford car about
one-half mile south of the mile bridge
on the Melrose road. Mrs. Fischer
was quite severely bruised, but the
other occupants were not hurt.
The accident, as the Herald under
stands happened when Mr.. Fischer
turned out a little too far in letting
a car pass, stricking some loose sand
on the outside of the shoulder of the
pavement. The fact that the car
was practically at stand still when
lit turned over is likely the reason
that no one was more seriously hurt.
The damage to the car was only
nominal.

Price of Butter, Eggs and
Poultry On Downward Trend
Swift & Company's Weekly Produce
Review Shows Normal Movement
Eggs Coming Out of Stor age

The market on fresh eggs has
shown a tendency toward reaction.
The recent advance was rapid and
retailers accordingly advanced prices
to the consumer, who is probably
turning to storage eggs, which are
selling at more reasonable values.
The movement of eggs out of stor-
age continues liberal, with a good
demand existing.
Butter markets also have shown
some reaction, which is natural after
the recent rapid advance. The pro-
duction, on account of more favorable
weather, is holding up, which may
have a tendency to keep markets at
present levels.
The movement of live poultry is
about normal for this time of the
year. General tendency Of prices in
centers is. to lower levels,
although there is a good demand for
all kinds of fresh poultry at the pres
ent time.

Mann at Hibbing, she stated that her
son Henry had died Sept. 18th. 1t

health for some time but the an
Inouncement of his death will come as

his mother, one brother, and sister,
Mrs. Kirby of Hibbing are the i'm
mediate family left to mourn. Henry
was about 81 years old.
