Ukralnian Music Experiences
Renaissance Under SOUlets

HINDER the old regime Ukrainian
v musical culture was scarcely al
lowed legal existence. The Russian
Musical Society, in its schools and
concert work, absolutely ignored
the Ukrainian folk song as an ele-
ment of musical culture. The Peters
burg government was inclined to re-
gard the leaders of Ukrainian choirs
and the singers Of Ukrainian songs
almost as state foes, and treated
them with corresponding hostility,
AS for the opera, this field was
tightly closed against Ukrainian
compositions, and there was no
thought of state initiative, assist
ance or approval for the develop
ment of Ukrainian music. Consid-
ering the impossibility of obtaining
a finished musical education, it is
scarcely to be wondered at that
many of the Ukrainian composers
did not get much beyond the level
Of talented, self-taught dilletantes.
1t is also scarcely to be wondered
that they wrote chiefly for choirs
and the human voice as almost the
only instrument within their scope.
1t is true, Ukrainian music, even
before the Revolution, contributed
great names, such as Lissenko,
Leontowitch, Stetsenko and Stepova,
but this was in spite of official
carelessness.
Music for the Masses.
The solution of the national ques-
ton after the Revolution produced
the problem of the revival and con-
struction of a musical. culture that
should be national in form and ma
terial, but Soviet and socialist in
content. The first slogan was
"Music for the Masses" The in
tense feeling among the masses of
the workers and peasants for their
national song, the source Of all
Ukrainian musical culture, guaran-
teed the sympathy of mass audi
ences and explains the vast scale of
development of choral singing.
By the 18th anniversary of the
November Revolution, Ukrainian
musical culture had shown itself to
he a powerful creative process,
standing on firm organizational
basis of mass activity, and on the
organized assistance of the cultural
activities of all nationalities in the
Ukraininan S. S. R.
The foundation of an Ukrainian
State Opera, with branches in Khar-
kov, Kiev and Odessa, must be ac-
counted as a great cultural achieve
ment. The first opera in the
Ukrainian language was produced in
1925-1927 in Kiev and Odessa. "The
State Ukrainian Itinerant Opera"
has had great artistic and financial
success in the present season.
Up till now all the operas per-
formed by the Ukrainian State OPP
era have been, with the exception
of Lissenko's "Taras Bulba," trans
lated from other languages. There
are now, however, several operas by
Ukrainian composers. The Peoples
Commissariat for Education has
given many Ukrainian composers
commissions for operas with a view
to furthering a new repertoire.
Verikivsky's Legend of Spring"
a ballet based upon Ukrainian folk
lore, is Of great artistic and ethno-
graphical interest.

COMING AMUSEMENT EVENTS
The Strand Theatre. Smyrna

Friday and Saturday-Tenth Avenue
of New York City-lawless and unruly
menaced by gangsters and guns
murder and marauding-inhabited by
sinister moving shadows-such is the
tremendously powerful background
against which was filmed "Tenth Av-
enue". Just five long blocks from
fashionable Fifth Avenue, but only
short distance to the other side of the
world, "Tenth Avenue" is an intimate
glimpse into the lives of those whose
code is based on widely different
standards from other sections of the
metropolis. Phyllis Haver, Victor
Farconi and Joseph Schildkraut por-
tray the principal featured roles.
Monday and Tuesday-Six sons in
one family bring forward six Para
mount young leading players in ex-
ceptionally good character parts in
the new Wallace Beery- Raymond Hat
ton melodramatic comedy, "The Big
Killing" This picture is the story of
mountain family feud and the life
and customs of the backwoods noun
taineers are faithfully portrayed. The
Beagle family consists of six sons and
one daughter and the father. The
latter part is played by Anders Ran
dolph, who has done excellent work in
many recent productions. Mary Brian
is the daughter of the family, who
causes all the trouble by falling in
love with the son Of her fathers her
editary enemy. The parts Of the six
sons are played by James Mason,
Ralph Yearsley, Ethan Laidlaw, Leo
Willis, Buck Moulton and Robert
Kortman. These young men were the
widest looking speciments Hollywood
has seen in some time during the film
ing Of ''The Big Killing" For sever
al weeks before actual work on the
picture began, they had to forego
shaving in order to achieve a growth
Of beard in keeping with their back
woods parts.

A recent visitor is Dr. Neville Lacey, a medical man of repute who has spent the past 15 years in the upper reaches of the Amazon River country, where ne has been studying the plant life and customs of the JaryaroS, the head-hunterS of that district. pr. Lacey brought one of the Indians back with him this beinp the fi--+ A'~ae one has ever left his native land.
 How this was brought about is due to the influence the doctor has on these people, he being sort of a high priest and god, being the first white man they ever saw.
 These natives are stalwart and very alert, and probably the best naturalists to be found in the world today. They capture mon keys and other native wild life and tame these to answer their call, making it a rather weird erecting to stranger when tramping thru their country. pr. Lacey and his servant are visiting with Peter Adair. his rncla and expects to rel main here until better not let the secret out for it would spoil the Call of the Ranshaen for vnu, which VII be given at the Liberty theatre one night only, Friday night December 20 bv the Little Theatre Club of Anchorage, under the auspces of the Seward Post of the American Legion Reserved tickets go on sale in few days.

CHICAGO BOXER
MAY BE FOOLED
BY SR. PACHO

Mr.. Art Dunivan of the Machine
{ Cun city. who spells his name diff
f,rcntly from any of the tribe here
,ofore encountered, comes to I'M
pcrial Valley to meet Bobby Pacho
IL the main event at the local arena
/ riday night, with a heavy reruta-
ton preceding him.
The Chicago boy is supposed to
have been sent out here from the
Ecrschner stables for the express
| purpose of knocking Fidel La
Rarba's block from his shoulders,
and in preparation for that event,
is to practice on Pacho.
However, despite Mr.. Dunivan's
"rcp," there are a number of valley
! ans who will have to be shown, and
| these same fans believe the little
valley boxer is capable of taking
! mighty good care of himself. They
nave seen him topple number of
good boys who were sent down here
t. bump him off, and they figure
! Mr.. Duniyan no harder than some of
those who toppled.
Bobby is about the most popular
boxer developed here since the days
OF Dick Hoppe, and folks are pre-
lieting that he will go much further
than the Glendale squire. who is still
! good enough to be drawing card
ia the ring.
Mr.. Dunivan and Bobby are sche-
! Guled to go 10 rounds, and from all
indications they will produce the
fireworks in generous quantities
while they are in the ring.
Another whale of fight should
| be the Pat Yango."Dcacon" Books
battle. Leo Mitchell was the hoy
Yango fought here several wears
;.go and which fight is remembered
here as one of the best ever seen.
! At that time Yango was known as
Joe De Leon. Apparently he has
been divorced since then and re.
sumcd his maiden name. If he has
ore. quarter Of his old time fight
eft in him, he is plenty good.
Mateo Majhoncy had better be in
good shape Friday night. Carl Ha-
ger, whom he knocked out last week
after Hagcr had claimed a foul
which many Of the fans thought was
justified, has sent word down from
san Bcrdoo that there is going to
he one badly whipped Filipino boy.
in town Friday night and his last
name is Majhoncy.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3. U.P)-Tbe
United Press all-American football
team of 1929, presented today, is
truly representative of all that its
name implies.
Not only has every section Of the
country been closely canvassed and
afforded opportunity for representa-
tion, but the players finally select
e1 this year have had to meet new
end stricter requirements.
1t was not sufficient for Il foot
ball player TO have flashed brilli-
antly as an individual in n few
games. TO be named on the all
America team of 1929, man had
10 stand out consistently in every
department of the game required
by his position throughout the en-.
tire season.
More than 200 football coaches,
officials, and correspondents from
coast to coast joined in the con
census which made possible the Sc
lection of the United Press eleven,
and in each case their recommends
tions were based upon players
worth from the beginning to the end
of his teams schedule.
This system of selection, obvious
:, the fairest, and productive of one
"f the greatest of all-America teams,
meant that certain of the years re-
inarkablc players, such as Al Mars
tcrs of Dartmouth and Albic Booth
of Yale, could not be included.
Great as these quartcrbaeks were in
