THE "KAKARAT" FACE
THEIR FINAL TEST
Vancouver. — iEven though things
are really popping out here on the
iWest Coast and one findsiit hard to
keep up with the happenings, time
iiEUst oe found for a shmi note to let
e eastemera know what is going
m out here.-
As has been mentioned i n earller
reporti, the "Kakarat" have a big
oav coming up soon. On Sunday,
May 3, at 7.30 tihe youngerg genera­tion
V.111 be stagmg 2 plays. The F i n ­nish
play "Rikollmen" is pretty well
ir.own to Club News readers whlle
t.ne other play is Oscar Wilde's 6a-tae
m English. They are both
•ery good plays and if everything
j|goe.'i Weil Wall be a worthy contrl-:
Dution from the younger generation
:o Chnton Hall activitles.
Preparations have sure kept the
foki busy here. The f act that the
tuo casts require Qver 30 people was
in luelf quite a problem for the
Kakarat.'. but this. was finally over-come
although nearly everyone. had
to be urafted for stage work before;
ill tne spots v.-ere filled. -•
-^^d then .started rehearsala. Again
found ourselves faced with- tre-
:nend(jus (a very inadequate word)
iai.i.v. The lead roles in Salome
for instance require a great deal of
work and personal coaching on- the
part of the director. The result has
been that many members of the casts
have b^en going to rehearsala three
times a week for the last' while.
Add to the problems of rehearsals
the question of costumes,. staging,
etc., and finally OUT inexperience and
you have some idea of what has been
taking place out here.
But — and this is really the amaz-
Ing part — this reporter for one is
confident that the work we have
done and will do before M»y 8 will
ensure an excellent production on the
final night.
As one who was on hand when the
"Uranuurtajat" presented their play
"Särkelä itte", I must say that it
went very well and certainly sets a
high göal for the "Kakarat". But
after following the rehearsals of tlie
"Klakarat", I think there are stiU
possibilities of wlnning the honours
i n this oontest agalnat the older lolks.
That of course remains to be seen
and only the final decision of the
judges will decide the competition.
Anyway,here'swishing the "Kakarat"
lots of luck and a good performance
on the 8th. — HL,
some. For e>:ample, the immigrants
came here äa people of full-fledged
nationality who had withstcod. m
many cases centuries of denial of
their national rights. even denial of
nationality «Canadian patriots taJce
note and couragel and who were
emigrating to Canada at a time. when
their people v.-ere gathering forces for
their national and social liberation.
And the f act that they met oppres­sion
and discnmination in Canada,
which: made them band together for
mutual aid and solace and protection.
The fact that they had things in
their own languages, the literature,
the arts, which helped them to un-dern^^
nd the world about them and
to meet its challenge, while in English
these were either unintelhgible or
simply not there. And above all, the
emergence of their pcoples back. home
in this Century as the foremost re-volutionary
peoples, transformmg
themselves and leading in the trans-formation
of-humanity..

Oespite their agenta and imitators
in high places over here, that is not

party, our program — whlch sums
up our country's past. our needs and

Canada's future — forthrightly de-clares
that it •'Is the champion of

OUR W A Y

Only thus can Canada win herbattle

a Story lastcad:
The other day I read a rcport from
Sudbury, which dcscnbed how a

in the Sudbury D:stnct Kiwanls Fe;i-tival.
The young lady who organized
and dlrected tnat choir ishere-v,'itn

r.ian folk song. one that goe.s back to
dim antiquity. The adjudicat<;r waK,
cnarmed and a.sked them to .sing an-other.
They complied, and ihen,

they stepped up — and led
