<p>From the United Committee for the Organization of the Celebration of the "Day of Russian Culture."</p>
<p>The first celebration of the "Day of Russian Culture" in the city of Chicago, on June 9, 1929 proved to be a great moral success. In spite of the fact that on that day there were taking place several Russian picnics and a large "Press Day" picnic, the very large artistic hall of the Municipal Pier was crowded by lovers of Russian culture. The following persons were on the literary part of the program of the celebration: the Russian writer Mr. S. I. Goosev-Orenburgsky; the artist of the Moscow Art Theater Mr. I. V. Lazarev; the representative of the American literati Mr. Krause, Mrs. N.A. Birsky, Mr. D. V. Stranden, Mr. S. Scheinman, Mr. V. I. Baycher, Mr. N. S. Gribov and Mr. N. F. Erin.</p>
<p>The celebration was opened with a short speech by the responsible manager of the celebration, Mr. N. F. Erin who bade all those present a hearty welcome, and then introduced the chairman of the literary part of the program, <pb facs="5423967_2_1436.jpg" n="6"/>Mrs. N. A. Birsky. The speakers explained the meaning of the "Day of Russian Culture" and the importance of Russian Culture in general for the whole world. After the literary part of the program there followed a concert and some dances and declamation. The following artists participated in this part of the program: The well known singer Mrs. Maksakov; Mrs. P.G. Gribov who performed the Russian boyars' dance; Mrs. A. A. Mikhailovsky (declamation;) Miss Jean Moorey, pianist. Mr. P. Aluyevich, Croatian baritone; Mr. Weisspferd, tenor and Mr. Kulchar, violinist. Mr. Aster and Mr. Bremer were at the piano. The performances of all these artists were excellent and they earned much applause. The stage of the hall was adorned with the portraits of Leo Tolstoy and A. S. Pushkin. These portraits were very successfully enlarged from pictures by the self-taught amateur painter, Mr. P. I. Pokhaznikov. There were also the portraits of the artists of the Moscow Art Theater with Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko at the head. Right in front and somewhat below were symbolic pictures representing labor, music and some other arts, science, culture and the theatrical art, painted by Mrs. S. Alexeyev. On the wall, right above the table, there was a large <pb facs="5423967_2_1437.jpg" n="7"/>poster with the words: "The Day of Russian Culture."</p>
<p>The celebration was a great success. Everybody who has attended it will preserve the best reminiscences about it, and it will probably become good enough for the Russian Colony of Chicago to imitate in the future.</p>
<p>The United Committee for the organization of the celebration of the Day of Russian Culture offers its hearty thanks to all the representatives of Russian literature and art who participated in the literary and musical parts of the program of the celebration.</p>
