BIBLICAL OPERA
 ! SYNOPSIS GIVEN
Bernat HOlczer Explains "Shakamuth" to Be Pre-

The Biblical opera, "Shulamuth@. to be presented by the Waterbury Hebrew Institute at it's annual Purim Ball at Temple Hall, Sun day evening, March 24th. was. out lined this morning for the Demo- crat by Bernat Holczer.
 His synopsis thereof follows:
 The first of the fruits of thy land shall thou bring unto the House of the Lord, thy God. (Exo- dus XXIII, Pas XIX)
 Upon the above text Is based the plot of "Shulamuth", composed by Abraham Goldfaden who is world over as the father of the "Shulamuth" is his outstanding achievement, popularly called the Yiddish Romeo and Juliet. t
 In "Shulaniuth'' the immortal author and composer depicts the height of the national peace and happiness of ancient Israel during the glorious reign of their King David and King Solomon. and the Beth Hamikdosh", the Holy Temple. .,. ,,
 The motifs of the, music of '.Shulamuth" interpret masterful. ly the romance and drama, the glory and tragedy, yes the heart and soul of the most interesting group of the human race, the Jewish people. 4 2s-s
 Its impressive. and divine melo- dies are the basic motifs of the chanting in every syna- gogue the world over. Its dreamy melodious lullaby "Ruzsinkes init Mandlen" is ever hummed by the devoted Jewish mother while she is rocking the cradle of the infant generations of her persecuted pec- ple.. The. shepherd chorus, "Flaker Feier" is symbolic of the shepherd episode when the tribes of Jacob were peacefully follow ing and grazing their flocks. It's sleepy, peaceful tones seem to have a magic effect upon the Jewish soul. The Lalnentation song of the "Klag Weber, conotes the tear and sigh characteristic of the Jewish musical spirit. Yes the tear and sigh that will turn to merry laughter only when the Jew will attain freedom and equality among the family of nations. and his own national aspirations. And that is why the Jews never tire to hear "Shulamuth" now being produced in Waterbury for the first time for the benefit of the "Talmud Torah" (Hebrew Re- ligious SchooD. the latter sponsor ing shows only emblematic of, and exemplifying.

in the legislature this session by, Representative Thoms. providing for lowering of the automobile insurance rates in the city.
 To Define 1sues
 After the bill was introduced, insurance companies in Hartford got in touch with Representative Thoms and asked for a conference so that the situation in Waterbury could be more clearly defined.
 It IS reported that the represen- tatives at tomorrow's session will point to the number of accidents in Waterbury in comparison with other cities and towns in the state and will probably offer suggestions for the minimizing of these acci- dents by changing the traffic situ- ation in the city.

Hennessey Protests
 Park Boards Action
Former Resident Leads Opposition Against New York
 Officials Plan to Move Baseball Parks

Attorney George P. Hennessy, son of Mrs. P. NJ. Hennessy of Willow street and practicing at- torney in the City of New York, has become one of the participants in the fight over the plan of Park Robert Moses to convert baseball diamonds in Gen. tral Park to other uses. This plan also has the sanction of Mayor Fiorella LaGuardia, but is strenu- ously opposed by many prominent citizens and organizations.
 Attorney Hennessy, who is a graduate of the local public and Holy Cross College in the class of 1922. presented res- olution to Mayor LaGuardia, Park Moses, the Board of Aldermen, and the Board of Esti- mate of the City of New York on March 12, and will appear before the Aldermen next Tuesday at its regular meeting to argue for it's passage.
 Protest Removal
 The plan being considered by Park Commissioner Moses would be to cover five or six gravel-sur- faced baseball diamonds on Heck scher Field so that they could be made available for croquet, field hockey, and soft-ball games. The field runs between Sixty-second and Sixty-fourth streets. The base ball players are to be removed to North Meadow where fourteen dia- monds are available. a
 However, on March the West Side Boys Association at a regu- lar meeting adopted resolution attacking the proposed changes and urging the retention of the baseball diamonds for the use of members of the Hotel Associa- tions, department stores, stock ex- change houses, milk route employ es, students of high, private. pre- paratory and elementary schools, community and neighborhood houses" whose contests have att tracted 500,000 spectators, the res olution states.
 Favorable Decision
 According to a recent item in the New York Times there is good chance of the Aldermen vot- ing to retain the baseball dia- monds. There will be considerable interest locally in the aldermanic session to be held next Tuesday.
 Attorney Hennessy is brother of Attorney William B. Hennessy of Waterbury. In addition to his legal duties he is also connected with the Insurance Departme ent of the State of New York.

PALM SUNDAY VESPER
SERVICE

Palm Sunday, April ID, the an
nual date of the Phyllis Wheatley
Glee clubs Vesper will this year
take on a larger significance, by
reason, first, because the ladies of
the Glee club will don for the first
time the new uniforms which have
been especially designed and
made for them; second, because
the club has been augmented for
this service and a larger number
will sing the beautiful music to be
given, and again, because the dra-
matte club of the house will join
the singers in a presentation of
"Everyman," a production that has
won many plaudits from many
Minneapolis audiences. This fes-
tival has become one of the out
standing features of the House and
is looked forward to by a host of
people of both the white and col
ored groups.
