The exhibition documents the history, contributions, and heritage of the Ukrainian community in the United States-vovcr the past 100 years. Guest curator for the exhibition is Myron Kuropas; assistant curator is Chrystyna Pevna. Ukrainian emigration to America presents a different picture at different times. The exhibition, which gives an overview of the four waves of Ukrai­ nian emigration to the United States, is in the first instance conceived as a tribute to the earlier immigrants - those who made their way to America around the late 1870s-19l4, and then again, in the inter-war period. , The earlier immigrants, the majority . of whom left under pressure of eco­ Demonstrators in front of the Polish Consulate in New York City protesting Polish rule in western Ukraine, 1922, Courtesy, Vera nomic necessity, persevered in working Kobasniuk Shumeyko, New York. hard to improve their lot. While intent on establishing an economically secure existence, they came to the aid of their countrymen in the homeland. They sent generous contributions to Ukrainian institutions and they worked for the promotion of the cause of Ukrainian independence in the United States, sending delegates to Washington and organizing rallies and demonstrations. Moreover, these immigrants founded their own institutions, built churches, schools, and national homes that would respond ю their own needs as well as ensure the preservation of their heritage in the new land. Comprising the exhibition will be 200 photographs that were selected from some 1.500 photographs thai the mu­ seum was able to collect over a two-year period.

Panorama of Ukrainian culture in the Big Apple by Helen Perozak Smindak

Believe it — or else! ?–

Movie aclor Jack Palance. who co- hosts the popular ABC-TV series "Ripley's Believe it or Not!" with his daughter. Holly Palance, rarely gives interviews. He granted one recently to Bill Davidson of TV Guide, resulting in a fascinating story about the actor, his career, and "the brooding menace and contradictory dark handsomeness that radiate from the flattened nose and burning eyes set between the exagge­ rated Slavic cheekbones." Explaining the Slavic reference. Mr. Davidson said that Palance is of Ukrainian descent, adding the information (not new to most Ukrainians) that the actor's real name is Walter Palahniuk and that he was born in the anthracite coal mine region near Ha/leton, Pa. The story appeared in the March 14 issue of TV Guide with a full-page photo of Mr: Palance's smiling counte­ nance accompanying the headline "When former screen heavy. Jack Pa­ lance turns on that menacing scowl, you'd better...Believe It - or Else!" At 64. the 6-foot-3, 210-pound actor attracts swarms of fan letters from ro­ mantically inclined female viewers.
