AMERICAN Hungarian Journal An Evening at the THEATER • "The Lady of Camelias" in New York The Hungarian community of New York has been looking for­ward to the 11th season of the Hungarian Theater of New York, which took off with a flair on a sunny Sunday in October. The large auditorium of the Wagner Theater was filled to capacity for the performance of "The Lady of Camelias". The romantic role of the worldly courtesan Marguerite, created on film by Greta Garbo and played to perfection by Gizi Bajor in Budapest, now came to life in the magnificent performance of Elisabeth de Charay (Erzsi Cserey to her Hungarian friends). Ms. Charay is the direc­tor of the Hungarian Theater there, and is said to be the most beautiful Hungarian actress in America. She was very convinc­ing, and her costumes added to the illusion of another time and another place. There was not an eye left dry when she died in Armand’s arms. Her partner was a guest artist from Budapest, Károly Újlaki, and he was just as good as any Hollywood star could have been. He acts well and is very good­­looking, tall and blond. They made a great couple on the stage, and with every move they made, with every word they said, they evoked an istant reaction in the hearts of the audience. The father was played by Szilárd Szabó, who looked as if he had just stepped forth from Dumas’ novel in his gray top hat. All the other characters were played by excellent actors and actresses as well as singers: Iván Zoltán Vas, Marika Dómján, Gabriella Lendvay, Lajos Nagy, and there was even a genuine belly dancer. After the intermission, a one­­act comedy by Lajos Zilahy was performed with equal success. Ms. Charay gave proof of her sense of humor in this wittiest of Zilah/s plays. Besides the actors already mentioned, Kriszta Berecz and Mihály Kátai deserve favorable mention. Musical director was pianist Tamás Siklós, and Mimi Mautner said the introduction. Gábor Gyukics, a seven-foot tall young man also introduced the plays in English, because there were a lot of Americans in the audience. There were articles about this event in the New York Times and the New York Post. The success of the performance is largely the merit of Elisabeth de Charay, who is well know around Broadway and in Off- Broadway theaters. She has a part in the latest Woody Allen movie as well. She is the heart and soul of the Hungarian Theater of New York. (Reported by Claire Kenneth, New York) English Page by SUSAN JANCSO The Governor Pete Wilson Committee announced the for­mation of a bi-partisan coalition of California’s ethnic groups in support of his campaign. The co­alition consists of ethnic groups ranging from Bulgarians to Slo­vaks. Chairing the coalition are noted nuclear physicist Dr. Edward Tel­ler of Stanford University and act­ress Ruta Lee (Lithuanian) of Bel Air. Named by Governor Wilson to leadership positions for the Hungarian community were Dr. Frank de Balogh, State chairman, and co-chairmen Maria Fényes, Andrew Friedman and Julius Stubner. Several leaders have is­sued statements in support of the Governor to California’s Hunga­rian community which appear be­low: DR. EDWARD TELLER Fellow Hungarians in Califor­nia have every reason to think and act carefully in the most impor­tant, upcoming gubernatorial election. We are deeply interes­ted in the development of Cali­fornia and in the less direct, but nevertheless important role the governor of California plays in the national scene. In my opinion, Governor Wil­son is fulfilling an outstanding ro­le in steering our state through the difficult period of great and not fully justified changes impo­sed by Washington. He has given full opportunity to legal immig­rants and contributed greatly to the California tradition of positi­ve concern for the future. DR. FRANK DE BALOGH I enthusiastically support the re­­election of Governor Pete Wilson for one critically important rea­son - he has consistently de­monstrated outstanding leaders­hip during his time in office. In dealing with California’s many crises - economic recession, de­fense cutbacks, the L.A. riots, na­tural disasters, immigration, and crime - he has always been deci­sive, forceful and effective. When Hungarian churches we­re threatened by arson, Governor Wilson directed that the State of California contribute $10,000 to the reward to apprehend the cri­minals involved. He also issued a state-wide press release condem­ning this vicious crime against our community. Governor Wilson is a friend on whom we Hungarians can count. He has truly earned your vote on November 8th. DR. ANDREW FRIEDMAN I base my support for Governor Wilson primarily on his tough stand against violent criminals. As Chairman of the L.A. Police Permit Panel, I know that the number one problem facing Cali­fornians is crime. Governor Wil­son was instrumental in having the "Three Strikes” law passed in California, which guarantees that violent criminals will face many years in prison. In addition, Go­vernor Wilson advocates the de­ath penalty which, I believe, is a deterrent to crime. His opponent does not support the death pe­nalty and sends a signal to crimi­nals that under a Brown administ­ration, criminals need not fear. FÉNYES MÁRIA Wilson kormányzót újraválasz­tásakor olyan problémákért te­szik felelőssé, ami az egész vilá­gon történik, mint gazdasági vál­ság, munkanélküliség. Erről ő nem tehet. Eddigi működése engem a reagani időkre emlékeztet, mi­kor mi biztonságban éreztük magunkat, mert tudtuk, hogy olyan kezekben van a hatalom, mely a nép érdekeit nézi. Hogy hozzánk, magyarokhoz Pete Wilson milyen közel áll, ar­ról meggyőződhettünk az elmúlt évek során. Szavazzunk rá. JULIUS STUBNER As we all know, crime, unemp­loyment and the steady inflow of illegal aliens are causing an enor­mous problem to the state of Ca­lifornia. In order to successfully solve these, an able and knowled­geable leading politician is nee­ded. The way I see it, the above diffi­culties could only be eliminated with good results by Pete Wilson, the present Governor. His ex­pertise, his mental and physical working ability would be the to­ken of a peaceful, secure and prosperous future for the state of California. Dr. de Balogh invites the Hun­garian community to attend a gi­ant rally in support of the Gover­nor Wilson and other candidates for state office on Sunday, November 6th from 12 Noon to 2 p.m., 137 West Wal­nut, in the City of Monrovia. There will be ethnic booths - including Hungarian - with items for sale, entertainment, and fun! All members of the Hungarian Republican Federation are ex­pected to attend this important event. The Hungarian community is al­so invited to attend the Victory Party to be held starting at 8 p.m., Tuesday, November 8th at the Doubletree Hotel, Los Angeles Airport, 5400 West Century Blvd. in Los Angeles. Hungarian Re­publican Federation members are also asked to attend this rally to represent our community.
