IX DRYDEN, Ontario, March 28th, 1930 -- = FT og eee Christ BeforePilats] Waldhof Notes THE painter of this piciure is Mich- | WALDHOF-- After a long silence ael Munkacsy. His real name was Michael Lieb. He was born in the litle Hungarian village of Munkacs § in 1844. It was only after he had' achieved _ distinction that he was affectionately called Munacsky by his fellow countrymen in loving rec- ognition of the renown he lad brought his native village. His childhood was of privation and sor- 'row. His mother died shortly after his birth and his father, who was a political revolutionist, became invol- ved in the war with Russia and was taken prisoner where he languished for a number of years in jail, When Mackie was about five years old when his father was condemned and sentenced to death. This oc- currence made a very vivid impres- sion on the mind of the little child --so vivid indeed that he used the incident for a theme for his first successful picture. An aunt and uncle adopted him, but tragically enough she and her husband were murdered a short while later by uncle took the little chap and ap prenticed him to a carpenter. Thi- life was distasteful to Michael and at the age of fourteen he ran away from home and wer to Ared wher he worked as a carpenter, but onlr enough to gain the bare necessitie your correspondent again feels the urge and here we are. It seems to me that we have just gone throuh one of those real old fashioned winters, however if signs mean anything, we are getting back to normal again. Since we havn't seen anything about our settlement 'n the Observer lately it occurred te us that the community might think that the reporter had ded or lost his head. And now to our pleasure and the chagin of others it appears hat he is still alive but very _----- Do you know what that means? Well gettin back to the talk a- hout winter--although it has been very uncertain, incidently it has given settlers a very fa'r chance to lo bush work and although the re- turns are not just what we expect- ed there is some comfort in t he fact that we have received a nearly fair return for our work. In spite of the fat: that conditions at times were very uncertain, this winters vosults will not be below the aver age of 1929 and perhaps may prove an even greater number of cords. Sleighing is nearly done ard 2 ouple of bright days will put an nd to hauling operations. And hat's that. Meantime the young people of valdhof have s*aried a Dramatic of living. Most of his iime was spent in art galleries where he studi- - ed and copied pictures. Due to priva- tion and hardship of living, he was taken sick and was sent home to his uncle. It is said re used to sing for his own comfort the popular song "Why Should I Mourn as Tho' There were no Sorrow But Mine." This shady and unfortunate ch'ld- hood left ap indelible impression en Munkacsy. The Picture -- The canvas was a tremendous size The atmosphere is tense and dram- atic. Munkacsy here resorts to the same device used by Da Vinci in his "Last Supper." He places the win- dows at the back of the room in order that the view of the distant landscape may bring, in some meas- ure, relaxation to the overdrawn nerves. Through these windows the highly charged atmosphere finds vent. The pent-up emotions of the throng are relieved by this artistic and. techmical touch. Munkaecsy knew his Bible, and nowhere in his acquaintance with it made more manifest than in this picture. He has grasped the ess-nce of this scene in a wonderful way, and has dramatically reflected the emo'ions of those present. Just as Da Vinci sought to fix the expression and gratitude of the disciples at the moment when Christ said, "One Shall Betray Me," so Munkacsy in this picture, seeks to catch and fix the action of the mob wh-n Plate "What shall T do with Jesus, who is called the Christ?" This question, which has come down the ages, continues to arouse cal emotions represented here. What is in the picture ? conscience-stirring message. Come early and enjoy the Service.

A play-wright was un- carthed last week in the person of Lester Pronger. Lester not only wrote a play, but trained the vari- ous actors, he was al-o stage manag- 'er, scene shifter; cashier ete:; ete. fond carried the whole affair over {with laudable success. His valued { assistants were Bobby Foote, Mick- ey and Vernon Pronger. The cntor- tainment was staged op Friday even ting for adults and Saturday after- noon for children. Besides the play various musical items were render- ed, and among the offerings was an item by Miss Shirley Pronger, whose song brought the house down. Taking into consi eration the i youth of the performance, the en- tertainment was very well done and each one is to be congratulated on the success. " The worthy motive which inspired the originators of this entertainment is also very com her duties admirably, with so many jover to the mendable. Apparently there was a desire to assist the Local Red Cross Society, therefore the proce ds a- mounting to $9:00 have been handed Treasuver of the Red Cross. The capacity of the Agricultural Representative's Cffice was taxed to the very limit, and we fear that should another such en: ertainment be put on at a later dats, nothing but the Paper M1 Hall will be large enough to hold the crowd. The Red Cross Society ackn-wled- ges with thanks the receipt of $9.00 from the youthful quintete, Lester Pronger, Bob Foo.e; Ver-on Pronger Mickey Pronger and Shirley Prong- er. A.
