Plays In English
Available To Nests

pittsburgh, Ia. - BelleV-
ing as we do that only thru
at least an annual Nest af-
fair can the interest of the
Juniors be kept at a keen
edge and even the parents
made conscious, the Croatian
Fraternal Union through the
Sports-Educational De p a r t.
ment makes available to the
Nests a range of plays in the
English language.
We regret to say, that even
after inquiry with a source
in Zagreb, Yugoslavia, that
our stock of children's plays
in the Croatian language is
somewhat limited.
Those plays which we make
available come with compli-
ments of the Society. We
have even a few books to loan
that may help a Nest Man
ager plan or choose a skit in
the English language ire
spective of the season of the
year.
AS the Junior Orders for
tieth anniversary and COM
memorative Junior conven-
ton whips the enthusiasm to
higher pitch we look forward
to having more of our affili-
ates avail themselves of the
facilities of what the Gro
atian Fraternal Union has to
offer.
We hope that the fortieth
year jubilee will among other
things bring to the adults the
realization that we have ir

Beograd which houses the
Yugoslav theatre, VIII i c h
draws from all republics of
Yugoslavia has thrown its
door open to foreign artists
and troupes. The native ac-
tors and artists can expect
relatively low admissions to
be paid by the audience. AS a
result a state budget must
make the difference.
From the writer's point of
view we think that the Gro
atian dramatic genius as we'll
as those of the Serbs and
Slovenes of the second half
| of the 10Th century were the
spark behind a nationalistic
determination and in oppo-
sition to a foreign govern
ment.
! It would be much better if
Yugoslav economy down tc
the theatre goers were such
that he could support the ac'
tors and artists rather than
having artistry subsisting in
a major part from state aid.
1t is hoped with this article
material which was CLEANED
from a pamphlet "Yugosla,
Theatre" published by the
Museum of Theatre Art, Beo
grad 1855 that the American
and Canadian born genera
ton will no longer think tha'
the land of their forefather!
was or is now without a the
atre society. This knowledg'
therefore should evoke prid'
or at least an equal footins
with those who were reputet
to have attained this form o
culture.

American Legion
Blasts Ford Fund
Pitt Paper Argues
Attack UnWarranted

The 100000 members of
the American Legion have
been urged by their national
commander to "have no
truck" with the Ford Foun-
dation's Fund for the Repub-
lie. The reason given by Com
mander Seaborn P. Collins
for boycotting the Fund for
the Republic is that it is be-
ing used to tell the American
people Communism is nothing
to worry about.
Mr. Collins attack on the
Fund and it's president, Rob-
ert M. Hutchins, reflects little
undo- standing of the basic
objective of this independent
organization set up by the
Ford Foundation in 1852 ito
advance understanding Of
civil liberties.' AS DR.. Hut
chins pointed out in reply to
Mr.. Collins, "the purpose of
the Fund for the Republic is
to defend the American prin-
ciples enunciated in the Dec
laration of independence and
the Constitution"
If the Fund has sponsored
studies that have criticized
congressional and admins
tration efforts to resist Com
munist infiltration (as Mr..
Collins alleges, this does not
mean that the Fund favors
Communist infiltration. 1t
simply means that the Fund
would like to publicize in
! stances in which Communist
Investigations have departed
from American principles of
justice.
The Fund has not taken a
one-sided position in further
ing the understanding of
these principles. 1t has fl
nanced the publication of
monographs which criticize
the use of the Fifth Amend
ment as we'll as those which
uphold it's use.
/ Rather than boycott the
projects of the Fund, Legion
members should cooperate
with them. The reason why
such undertakings deserve
support was we'll expressed
by DR.. Hutchins a few years
ago when, speaking in anoth-
er context, he said:
There are two ways of fight
ing subversive ideas. One is the
policy of repression = =. The
policy of repression of ideas
cannot work and never has
worked. The alternative to it is
the long difficult road of educa-
ton. To this the American peo.
pie have been committed. 1t re-
quires patience and tolerance,
even in the face of intense
, provocation. 1t requires faith in
the principles and practices OF
democracy, faith that when the
citizen understands all forms OF
j, government he will prefer de.
mocracy and that he will be a
better citizen if he is convinced
than he would be if he were
coerced.

meager education themselves
and transformed into imml-
grants to be vested eXponents
of their native theatre. Yet
one exists on a plane to what
O her European countries
have in thespians.
The island of Hvar had an
auditorium as far back as
1912, no ordinary edificc as
architecture goes, and IN ad-
dition the site where many
of the Croat theatre goers
gathered for decades. The art
of the Yugoslav theatre is
confined to it's own language
which shields it's richness to
the rest of the world yet this
is true of other European ma
tional theatres.
With credence to the cul-
tural accomplishments of oar
progenitors it must be stated
that the theatre within the
present confines Of YugoslaV
is deep rooted. 1t incorporated
the use of theatre buildings
and amphitheatres built when
the ancient Greeks and later
the Romans made settle
ments in those parts. When
the Slavs came to the Balkan
peninsula in the 5th to the
7th century, the buildings
and the use for which they
were originally intended hac
long been abandoned.
Good examples Of theatri
cal rehabilitation by the Slavs
are at Pula, which was built
in the reign of the Roman
emperor Augustus. In recent
times this amphitheatre has
been host to operas and fes
tivals where tens Of thou
sands have attended.
Another example is the
Diocletian palace dating bacl
to the fourth century AID
around which later the town
Split in Dalmatia was built
Today the Croatian theatr'
is making use of the stag
and building, accommoda
tions centuries old. To thest
and those in Zadar and ST
SAX and in other parts o
Yugoslavia, th c Southern
Slavs developed their owl

The Yugoslav theatre an

pean theatres did, lie mining

In 1910 through the help
Of Joakim Vujic (note the
Germanicised name) but Of
ten referred to as the father
of the Serbian theatre that
plays in Zagreb began to be
performed in the Croatian
language.
We pause here to refer our
readers to the political up
which rocked Central
Europe in 1848, the year
when Emperor Francis Jo-
seph ascended to the Austro-
Hungarian throne, all an off
shoot Of stern subjugation.
The dramatic works per-
formed in the Croatian the
atres were those of our South
Slav playwrights as we'll as
translations from Europe's
best dramatic literature. The
year 1916 was extraordinary
with the first performance of
V. Lisinski's first opera,
Love and Malice, a fore
runner in Croatian operas.
Shakespearean plays were
for the first time performed
in Zagreb during the middle
of the 10Th century. The
works of Moliere, Schiller,
Goethe, Dumas, Hugo and
others were acted in the Gro
attain language by touring
dramatic CLUBS.
Slovenc and Serbian the
atres became permanently es-
tablished in this period as the
Austro-Hungarian vern-
ment gave here also to ma
tionalistic assertion.
A permanent opera was es-
tablished in Zagreb in 1870
This institution is active even
today. It's organizer and first
director was Ivan Zajac who
himself authored many Gro
