Founding Members
Each of the sixteen elected members of the Slovene National Theatre received his or her decree. From the very beginning only ten were in fact participating. The dramaturge Mile Klopčič left for the headquarters soon after the theatre's founding; Matej Bor moved to the secret base 12-23, known amongst the fighters as »cripplebase«; soon thereafter the singer Anica Čepe also left, while Janez Jerman, Marija Kristančič, Smiljana Samec and Rade Simoniti were taken by the offensive down south and from there across the sea into the Italian town of Bari, while Marta Pavlin-Brina left with Kajuh for the XIV. Division to Styria. The core of the Slovene National Theater was thus made up of the president Filip Kumbatovič, two female actresses Vladoša Simčič and Ema Starc and four male actors Lojze Potokar, France Presetnik, Jože Gale and Jože Tiran of Ljubljana's Drama as well as two female singers Bogdana and Nada Stritar and the male singer Stane Česnik of Ljubljana's Opera.
