Agitprop of the Central Committee did not entirely endorse the text the puppet theatre’s variety show intended for »a wider audience«. Alenka Gerlovič therefore wrote a proper puppet play in fours acts for children. She took the title from the puppet verseplay Jurček and Three Thieves, which was staged in Novo Mesto before the war. She also directed the piece. Jurček was played by sculptor Milena Dolgan, Ive Šubic spoke the text of Jurček’s father, Minka Lipovc was the mother, Alenka Gerlovič was Franca, Fric Vito Globočnik was the member of the White Guard Franci Divjak – Štef, and Dušan Povh spoke the parts of Benitto and Pavliha. The Partisan mule did not make it into the very first performance, but she was brought into subsequent performances as an extra. In the last scene, in which the camp is liberated, Globočnik shot from a real automatic rifle. The breaks were long, because the change of scenery was time-consuming, with Janez Kuhar playing the accordion. Rehearsals took place in the priest’s quarters, and the premiere on the premises of the fire-brigade station in Črmošnjice in January 1945.
