June 26, 1937 PAGE 7. VfrhovayQkJbpjQ Gypsy Orchestra and Hungarian Girls Reap Success! PERFORMANCE AT BANQUET OF THE INSUR­ANCE FEDERATION OF PENNSYLVANIA BRINGS CHEERS AND APPLAUSE The Insurance Federation of Pennsylvania held their business meeting- on June 3rd and 4th, closing with a banquet and extensive en­tertainment program held Friday evening in Pitts­burgh’s Hotel William Penn. The entartainment com­mittee requested the leaders of the Pennsylvania Frater­nal Congress to assemble the program for the after­­dinner entertainment. Our Association, a member of the Congress for many years, was requested to partici­pate, and inasmuch as we were the only Hungarians represented, we were more than glad to cooperate. The program given was captivating and most enter­taining, the Verhovay being represented twofold. The participants of various Asso­ciations and Societies in great number were attired in extraordinary and beauti­ful costumes; the Hungar­ians, represented by the Verhovay, were lifted out of the ordinary by their musi­cal and artistic dandling ability. A Hungarian Dance was introduced, under the per­sonal direction of Mr. Re­ményi, the dancing instruc­tor. with Magyar costumes especially made for this event. The young girls were taught with such pre­cision and danced with so much ability that the thun­dering applause did not seem to diminish for a long time. The girls in the number were the Misses Margaret Petro, Julia Horvath, Jolán Paranai, Elizabeth Szabó, Ethel Erdeky and Mary Mé­száros. The Gypsy orchestra, un­der the leadership of Bandi M i s k a, accompanied the girl's dancing. In addition, they played a group of Hun­garian Folk Songs, much to the delight of the audience. We received the following letter from Mr. Francis Tap­­tich, President of the Penn­sylvania Fraternal Congress, which we are glad to pub­lish. “The Hungarian Gypsy Orchestra and the Folk Dance given by the young girls from the Remenyi Dancing School were the special treat of the even­ing on June 4th during the pageant sponsored by the Pennsylvania Fraternal Congress at the Wm. Penn Hotel. They were marvel­ous. The Gypsies played superbly, and many guests told me they would have preferred the Gypsies to the other orchestra.” “As for the dancing girls, well, they were a real treat of the evening. They danced perfectly; their rhythm vvasj excellent and their unity of action perfect. They were full of life, their daiTce had vim, youth and action. I cannot say enough for them. Their action spoke for the school. You, of course, heard the tremendous ap­plause they received.” “I congratulate these lit­tle girls and the orchestra, and thank you and your as­sociation for the splendid cooperation you have given me and insuring the success of the pageant.” With the kindest good wishes, I remain, Sincerely yours, Francis Taptich President” Our Association also takes this opportunity to thank the parents of these girls mentioned above, who, for this pageant, made such truly beautiful Magyar cos­tumes. PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURISTIC BRANCH 366 The manager of our Ver­hovay Home here in Cleve­land told me that one of the. girls from the Home Office was there . Gee! but I’m sorry, I missed you—Helen. Elsie Kolosvary and I are delegates to Branch 14’s thirty-fifth anniversary. She was excellent company and before the evening was over we were caling. each other Elsie and Joe. Jakab Torda done an excellent job of be­ing toastmaster. Near the end of the banquet, the Kas­­say girls dropped in. There was singing by the entire as­sembly led by Turbob Ma­riska, who has a very fine voice. Joseph Evans slaying the women with a new suit. 1 didn’t know that Betty Pal went for fancy cocktails. Alexander Thomas intro­duced me to President Dara­­go. Didn’t know that Mr. Daniel Kali could play the clarinet. The public addressing sys­tem was rotten. Excuse my French. The picture in the May 29th issue sure struck me especially the 3rd and 4th girl from the right. Con­gratulations to Helen Vest­­rocy of New Brighton, Pa. for initial effort in getting her column “Let’s Go Snoop­­in on Verhovay Avenue” started. I, personally, think it is very fine. Keep it up Helen, we all appriciate news from New Brighton. I wonder if President Da­­rago has a ghost writer? I wonder who the Ferret can be? I would like to know her name. • It looks like a big summer for Branch 395 at McKees­port, Pa. After reading William B. Powell’s “Go Magyar Young- Man” I can’t help but feel that I am missing something by not visiting the Old Country. Well maybe I will,'when my ship comes in. A fine looking bunch of baseball players from South Bend, Ind. ^ At our last meeting the Chairman, John J. Balazs, had a hectic time getting the meeting started. Irene Kovács, Joe Evans, Julia Make, Mike Valand and Helen Veres were telling jokes in one corner of the room. I was mad because I didn’t hear any of them, they must have been good because they sure were laughing out loud. People from the other three halls came in to see what was the matter. Saw Steve Kovach at the meeting. Sombody scratch­ed Betty Toth on her neck, she told me that it was a curling iron. But I have my doubts: Paul Bolesic came in with a big cigar. I asked him, “How come.” He said, Oh!, a fellow^ at the foundry had a blessed event at his place. Remote birth con­trol, eh, Paul? Hear that Joseph Balasv is engaged to Helen Servan. Nice work, Helen. Mary Fejes, our secretary was married Saturday, June 12, to A1 Sarka. Many happy returns to the happy bride and groom. Oh! yes, Club members threw a party for Mary and A1 and pre­sented them with an electric flat iron after which we went to a Gypsy Night Club and had a few rounds of dances, in between we had a bridal dance. I hope that she uses that flat iron only to flatten clothes. Alex Ver of Branch 366 has a very fine orchestra they tell me. I didn't know we had such talented mem­bers. I wonder who Helen Ve­res was fighting with, she told me it was only a cold. Julia Mak and her girl friend Helen are great spend­ers, they buy their own. Joseph Barry, Sr. arrang­ed the banquet for Branch 14 and he certainly did have a nice program. Never see Johnny (Cake) Jackabuci at the meetings. We are going to miss the Bosway family after they leave. Why must all good things come to an end? President Frank Pinter of Branch 14 has a second home, its the V e r h o v a y Home. Well, here is my swan song. If you like this column tell us, if not tell us anyway, we won’t get sore. Joseph Horvath JUVENILE ORDER—MONTHLY REPORT MAY—1937.
