Original Toronto Star caption: The Canadianization is complete. Two old friends in the Canadian arts scene, Jan Rubes (left), touring director of the Canadian Opera Company, and Tomas Shramak, a dancer with the National Ballet, finally got together yesterday in a unique ceremony at the Canadian Citizenship Court on St. Clair Ave. E. Rubes left Czechoslovakia 20 years ago, and when Schramek came here also from Czechoslovakia in 1968, he spent his first evening with Jan and Susan Rubes. Both hadn't seen each other since then, and yesterday they were both sworn in as Canadian citizens by Judge Irene Unger, with National Ballet founder Celia Franca (right). Rubes sang O Canada.
