HARTFORD, Conn. - Branch 106 of the Ukrainian National Women's League of America sponsor a chil­ dren's mardi gras at St. Michael's Parish school hall.in early March. The school hall was filled with clowns, rabbits, insects, fairy princesses,crayons, .even a small army in fatigues as well as other colorful costumes. The mardi gras-goers enjoyed a lunch of hot dogs, potato chips, cupcakes and apple juice. There was plenty of pppcorn to munch on between games. After lunch the children viewed a Canadian- made film, "Teach Me to Dance,"which dealt with a young Ukrainian Cana­ dian girl's experience with prejudice in western Canada following World'War I. Following the half-hour film, the children played a number of games of Joining Hartford-area kids at a mardi gras are (from left) Msgr. Stephen Chomko, the Rev.

Deems Taylor

A few lines are in order about the translator of two Ukrainian songs in Sembrich's book. Deems Taylor (1885- 1966), writer and editor, was in his time one of the best-known American com­ posers and a most popular figure on radio. He had the unique distinction of being the only American composer to have been commissioned to write an opera for the Metropolitan Opera, not once but twice ("The King's Hench­ man," 1927, and "Peter Ibbetson," 1931). ("The King's Henchman," 1927, and A page from the Sembrich songbook. "Peter Ibbetson." 1931). Deems Taylor No. 16 THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY SUNDAY, APRIL 15, 1984 11
