Jugo-Slav Music To
Open Fall Festival

The Elias Tamburitza Serenaders
and John ,Ilika come here on Nov. 4
to open the. fall entertainment series
of the Collins, Festival.
For. a thousand years the peasants
of what is. now known as the country
Of Jugoslavia have found expression
for their joys and loves, their fears
and hates through the musical in
this interesting instrument they have
produced music of almost unpeliev-
able loneliness.
Audiences marvel that magnificent
operate selections can be rendered IN
wonderful harmony by these simple
four-stringed instruments. The tone
of the tamburitza is pure and clear,
the intervals sharply defined. Upon
it the tones of violin, cello, flute and
oboe can be beautifully simulated.
The foundation and low tones of the
orchestration of this company are fur
nished by a tamburitza of the size Of
modern big bass viol, through no
bow, is. used. It is picked with the
fingers, as are the smaller tamburit-
zas.---~
!. The natives of Jugoslavia, home of
the Elias family, are famous for. their
natural gift for music. They are
liberty-loving race of people, whose
century-long. struggle for independ-
ence was crowned with victory short
ly after the close Of the World War
In Jugoslavia it is the custom for
families to assemble and furnish their
own music and entertainment For
manyaysaEs the Elias family, Charles,
Martha, and Anna together played
the music they so dearly loved. When
they migrated to America, their mu-
sic was considered so beautiful and
novel, and their years of association
had produced such perfection Of en-
semble playing, that they were per-
suaded to enter the professional field,
and have added to the group Mary
Filipovitch, and John .Ilika tenor
Theiprogram comprises, besides the
Jugoslavic numbers, many selections
from well-knOwn composers, all pre-
sented on the tamburitza, and several
fine vocal groups. A place is given
also to the latest popular airs which
are played with great verve and zest
Folk songs sung to orchestral ac-
compartment, vocal duets and solos,
and quaint dances from Jugoslavia
are unusual and favorite, features
Clad in their native costumes, these
spirited musicians form a striking
picture.

Speak, heart!

NJ avenue of words are there
uTith which to ease and make known
The love of a heart sunken in dos
pair
Lost! Cut off!
Awav from a cold world uninterested
No companionable forgiveness
No one sees and understands
The rich blood oozing from an old,
fostering wound,
THAT ouickens and bleeds afresh 1T
each uncognizant,
Ouick lowering of a distant eye.
Awake!
Tell to the world the purity that lies
In blood thicker than water!
ersak the bounds! Leap out!
A butterfly emerged from the cocoon
of a moth!
And reveal all the light and tender
ness
And yearning of the soul
Encased in sin, and
That lacks one neutrality-suspicious.!

N. r.. to- night to join members of his family at the bedside of his eldest son, James, who will undergo an opera ton for gastric ulcer at the Mayo Clinic Monday. Young Roosevelt has been troubled by the ailment for six months. He entered St. Mary's hos pital at the clinic Wednesday night for an examination. Last night it was announced that an operation was imperative.
 His mother, Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, who accompanied him here by plane Tuesday, was in con stant attendance, His wife. Betsy, was enrOute here by train. The anxiety of the family had not been evident until last night when the president suddenly announced that he would make the long journey to be with his son. He made his de- cision, it was understood, after he had talked with James several times by telephone. White House attaches said Mir. Roosevelt would remain here until after the operation. The president will leave Hyde Park on his special train. according to ten- tative arrangements and expects to

 Presidential Secretary Marvin T. Mcintyre made the announcement of the presidents decision. He min- imized the danger of the operation and indicated that the president would await the doctors report as to the results of the operation and the seriousness of his sons condi- ton, before making plans for his return.
 Concern for Roosevelt was felt for the first time last night after a physician had issued a carefully worded bulletin on his condition. The bulletin revealed the failure of the medical treatment on which hopes for his recovery had been based.
 His condition is excellent" 1t said. He spent a very comfortable night. Medical treatment does not promise a permanent cure. The ul- cer had not healed satisfactorily de spite intensive medical treatment Surgery was deemed necessary to obviate further complications by virtue of the ulcers location in the stomach rather than the duodenum Pre-operative preparation is to per- init recent acute manifestations te s,ibsidc."
