warming to the participating

Matz as a small token of ap-
probation to him and his wife
for a wonderful relationship
while they we're in the coun-
try during the past two years.
He was a great inspiration to
our chorus, and l am sure to
all the other Croatian Choru-
ses in the U. S. A.
May he and his wife live
long, in the best of health, and
come once again to the great
land of America to visit with
us.

HAMPTON + o A ID 5 -
Fortunately those who missed
the opening show of the Tam
buritzans at the Center The
ater Thursday night will have
chances to see it there tonight
at $3.50 or in Portsmouth at
the Willett Auditorium tomor-
row at the same hour.
This group of students
from Pittsburgh, Pa, col
leges and universities, spe-
cializing in folk songs and
dances of the Balkan cOun-
tries in Southern Europe,
has one of the most charm
ing and lively programs
presented in connection
with the international Ma
val Review - or any other
time for that matter.
This combination of per-
sonality, enthusiasm, good
looks and talent had the audi
ence of navy men and civilians
clapping, shouting and stomp
ing with glee through a fast
moving two-hour program
that was skillfully prepared,
yet seemed impromptu and
spontaneous throughout.
Down To Half A COconut
The present group is es-
sentially amateur, h a vi n g
been made up from students
who are about to enter vari-
GUS private careers after their
tour closes, to be replaced
next season by a new group.
They yield nothing to profes-
sionals in the enjoyment they
can provide.
The group takes it's name
from the tamburitza, a ira
ditional instrument of Gro
alta and Serbia, which
probably had it's origin in
the Perian tambura, a
member of the mandolin
and balalaika family which
comes in all sizes from that
! of the cello down to half a
coconut.
There were no programs
last night, the entire show be-
ing run by a master of cere-
, monies who was also the con-
ductor and chief Tamburitzan
Had Them All Shook Up
The songs were from most
of the Balkan countries -
lDalmatia, Bosnia, Serbia, Gro
alta, Albania, as well as even
Italian and Greek and Tur'
kish - and there was even
one sung in French.
All the singers and dan
GERS were most attractive
personally, obviously enjoy
ing themselves thoroughly
eager to please and delight
ed with the uninhibited ap-
plause they were getting
back from the audience.
AS a finale they turned
American and gave with the
rock m roll and other up-to
1.-The minute entertainment
which comes to them quite az
naturally as to other Amer
leans.
