On January 1, the Mutual Benefit Society of St. Anna presented a theatrical spectacle at the J. Stancikas Hall, Kensington. The artists of the Birute [Society] presented a one-act comedy "Salaputris", written by Kaledu Kauke. [Translator's note: It is impossible to translate "Salaputris" into exact English. It would be a knave, impostor, cozener, etc.] Before the presentation of the comedy, several young girls and boys read poems. Miss Klimaviciute sang Schubert's "Serenade." She has a pleasing voice and was warmly applauded by the audience.

The actors were: B. Vaitekunas as "Salaputris;" Mrs. Moskus--"Kunigunda;" Mr. J. Briedis--"Boliakin;" Miss St. Varasauskaite--"Elvyros."

The comedy, "Salaputris," is humorous and instructive.

After the performance, the church choir, under the direction of Mr. Pocius, sang 2five national songs. The choir sang beautifully.

Then there was dancing. The Birutes orchestra played the national dances such as "I want to Sleep," "The Circling," "The Puppy," and "Stumbling Feet."
