Czech Congregation Celebrates Czechoslovak Independence Day
DennĂ Hlasatel, Oct. 30, 1922
The fourth anniversary of the declaration of independence of the Republic of Czechoslovakia was celebrated yesterday, October 29, by the congregation of the Hubbard Memorial Church, a Czech Protestant church, at 2520 South Lawndale Avenue. The celebration, which began at 8 P.M., was a dignified affair. The speakers, who chose for their subject the meaning of October 28, were Dr. Jaroslav F. Smetanka and the Reverend Vaclav Vanek. Miss Anna Lukes, a well-known Prague singer, sang two appropriate numbers on this occasion--"Svobodo, Svobodo" (O Liberty, 0 Liberty!) and "Uderila nase hodina" (The Hour has Struck). Another feature on the program was a display of some beautiful views of Czechoslovakia by means of a stereopticon.
