World Famed Metropolitan Opera Soprano
zinka MIanov VIII Sing In Detroit Friday February 1st

DETROIT - Our own fa-
nous opera star from the
Metropolitan Opera Guild
Zihka Milanov, will pay visit
to Detroit on Friday, Febru-
ary 1st. Her concert will be
at the Masonic Temple and
start at 500 PM.
As far as Zinka is con-
cerned, she is not a stran-
ger to Detroiters, particu-
larly not to our own people.
Many of you are well in
formed about Zinka and
her career; many of you
have seen her, heard her
singing and, perhaps, shook
her hand.
In recent years she had
quite a build-up in our "Z",
as well as in other papers. All
this publicity concerned itself
mostly with her great success
as an operate singer and ac-
tress. I, for one, was very
pleased reading it.
Very little has been said
about her struggle and hard
ships in the operate world,
about the steps she was
climbing till she reached her
goal. I would like to tell you
a few words on that subject.
Sang Under Toscanini
It was in June of 1887 that
Mr.. Edward Johnson visited
Europe, presumably looking
for a a,neW star for the Metro
politan Opera.
Twice he had the opportu-
nifty to hear our Zinka in Yer
dis opera Requiem, in
which she played the main
role; once in old Vienna, and

unassuming gentleman who is
the fancy polka stylist in the
band. ~,
Now in his fourth season
with the Tammies, Ray
mOnd BurOvac, a Cleveland
boy, has played a promi-
nent part with this far
famed organization.
He has starred on the &C.
Gordon and the tamburitza,
established himself as a won.
derful folk dancer, and this
year - he sings.
Accordionist Magnifique
Ray comes from the Euclid
section of Cleveland, and it
was there that he learned his
very popular polka style of
playing on the accordion.
During vacation periods
he performs with Americas
polka king, frankie YAM
kovic. This past summer he
also worked as q tamburit-
"a teacher in Cleveland.
There is no harder worker
nor better liked individual
in the Tammies than Ray.
In this years program with
the Tammies, keep a watch on
this personality boy from Cle-
veland when the Duquesne

was conducted by the famous
Italian conductor and compo-

passed away January 16 last
at the age of 80 years.
Mr.. johnson offered Zin-

the following conditions:
First, she must learn at

will equal, if not surpass,
it's 1856 drive which result

This, then, is why we are
personally supremely conf
dent that Canada will play
host next August to a record
breaking number of Cam

Winners.
DetrOiters Make Moves
Our optimistic outlook on
this great Campaign is not
without basis.
Last week, for example,
Stephanie Walter, Highland

Lodge 351, Informed us
that she is a candidate for

One Of the 130 CFU men,
bers who visited Yugoslavia
last summer, she went on to
advise us that still others in
the Metropolitan D e r oft
Area have like intentions.
If such is the feeling in De-
troit at this early stage of the
drive, what may we expect
once the Campaign shifts into
high gear in the U.S.A. and

housed IN exotic Opatlla, a
Kvarner which is the tourist
pride of Yugoslavia and the
mecca of thousands of people
annually from all parts Of
Europe, Great Britain and
other sectors of the world.
This part of Yugoslavia
is known as '"The Riviera of
Kyarner." 1t is on the east
ern coast of Istria, at the
foot of Mount Ucka, and
runs some 10 miles in
length.
Opatija, 7 miles removed
from the great Yugoslav sea-
port Of Rijeka, is situated be-
tween picturesque Volosko
and the excursion center of
Icici and lies at the foot of
Mount Veprinac. In it's vici-
nifty are such resort mag
nets" as Ika, Medveja, Mos
cenicka Draga and Lovran.
Located 4 miles from Opa-
tija, Lovran is the oldest set
tlement on the 1strian Coast.
It was founded in the 9th
Century and derives its name
from the thick growth of lau-
rel surrounding the country
side (lovor is the Croatian
word for laurel).
Here may be seen medieval
towers, a church dating back
to the 18th Century, modern
hotels and villas, and two of
the finest bathing beaches on
the Continent.
Professor Speaks Mind
Opatija, which means "Ab-
bey," came by it's name in the
18th Century when it was a
Benedictine Abbey.
Today it is a spotless city
of first class hotels, seashore
promenades, three sandy
bathing beaches, beautiful
flower gardens, quaint cafes
and restaurants, and the
meeting place of pleasure
bound tourists from many
lands.
It was here that the writer
made the acquaintance of a
college professor from Lon
don, England, an erudite man
who had just come to Opatija
after touring portions of Rus
sia for several weeks.
Exchanging the time of
day while basking on the
beach fronting the Kristal
Hotel, the writer informed
the professor that he look
ed on Yugoslavia as being
so years behind the United
States in just about every
respect
The Englishman replied
that he couldn't say as much
for the simple reason that he
never visited America.
But he did say that Russia
was even further behind Yu-
goslavia in many, many ways.
Which must come as a sur
prise to those who claim that
Yugoslavia is falling apart at
the seams as a nation, while
Russia. is a progressive"
