WORK OF SARASOHN AND

nett Star at Leads; Comedy

Goldstick and Jerome Rynek.

By David Brookfield.

From the opening chorus to the
last finale, an auiLence that packed
Orchestra Hall to capacity limits Sun-
day night, sought vainly for means
to express adequately their amaze-
ment and admiration for the Shaarey
Zadek production, "Let 'Er Flicker.'
Mere applause might convey to the
45 members of the cast and chorus
the satisfacion of the audience with
their efforts, but it was quite another
and more difficult matter to indicate
by how much store reality' had exceed-
ed expectation.
It is, in general, a well-approved
custom for parents, relatives and
friends of those disporting themselves
in an amateur production to be lavish
in the praises. Lapses of memory
on the part of the leads, agonized
fumbling for cues, awkward entrances
and exits, songs sung in juvenile
voices which leave one tense with
strain like a tomcat solo with bac-
shee accompaniment are all passed
over with a "Well, they're only ama-
teurs, you know."
No such excuses, however, need
been made for the Shaarey Zadek
musical comedy. If professionals be
a sign of excellence with sonic, these
may be satisfied that "Let 'Er Flicker"
was highly deserving of that epithet.
That a small Jewish community could
produce, in an amazingly short space
of time, a composer whose score is
well worth preservation, a librettist
whose book deserves to rank with
sonic of Broadway's successes, a
chorus of nimble-footed young ladies
and a well-cast set of principals who
managed to shine without exception
is a tnatter for remark.
Plot DisappearsWhen Score Demands
As is the case with the preparation
of nearly all of those delightfully
colorful extravagances supposed to
have been popularized by the tired
man of business, the author. Mr. Sas-
asohn, very kindly bowed before the
will of his collaborator, Mr. Simons,
submerging the plot when it interfere
ed with a tuneful melody, forgetting
it entirely when a couple of the cast
evinced a strong desire to throw a
graceful limb or two.
Jacob Fisher, it seems, had just
married Dolores Wails, and because
of her aspiration to thedabara it in
the movies, had purchased the Star
Moving Picture Co. Bessye Barnett
and Saul Jacob had previously eloped
and landed at the Star studio in Oak-
land, via a defective airplane. Bessye,
be it said was Jacob's daughter, and
Saul his unwelcome son-in-law. At
the studio, too, was Jacob's sun, Ed-
ward Greenthal, who entertained the
double ambition to star movily and to
win the heart of Rae Barnett, use of
those who had already arrived. When
father and mother arrive on the scene
they are confroned by two pairs of
lovers, each one of which is objets

Surviving her husband by only
three weeks. Mrs. Max licavenricii

ruary 21, to a malady which had ren-

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS
OFFER MANY FEATURES
AT PURIM BALL, MAR. 3

Sextet, Boy Drummer, Glee Club,
And Society Dancer to Appear
On Program of Detroit Lodge's
Social Event.

Assisted by Finzel's orchestra, a
special saxaphone sextet, a glee club
and a classic dancer of merit, the an-
nual Purim Ball, to be given by De-
troit Lodge No. 55, Knights of Py-
thias Wednesday evening, March 3,
is assured of success. The hall will
he given at Arena Gardens auditor-
ium, and is an eagerly anticipated
event. Final arrangements of the
committee composed of A. Goldman
and J. W. Cohen indicate that a
unique and interesting program will
be given.
Mr. Finzel will personally conduct
his corps of skilled artists and prom-
ises that they will be unstinting in
the number of encores given. Nfany
of the dance numbers, he states, have
never been tried out before in De-
troit and many will serve as delight-
ful surprises in both their composi-
tion and rendition. Included are sev-
eral "oriental melodies" which arc to
be put on with their proper accom-
paniment of novel stunts.
Among the musicians will be 15-
year-old Bud Fisher, heralded as "the
sensational boy drummer" who is al-
so a creditable performer on the vio-
lin and piano. Bud, it is stated, will
leave Detroit after the present sea-
son. going to New York, where he
will begin preparation for his ap-
pearance with Flo Ziegfield's "Fol-
lies of 1920" next year. Despite his
diminutive stature, Bud is said to be
a wizard with the pans, hells and
rattles and should prove a distinct
feature of the entertainment.
The Glee Club, most of the mem-
bers of which are affiliated with the
Detroit Lodge, is under the direc-
tion of I. Leonard Braun, known as
a vocalist and a musical director. Se-
lections will be given by Sam Man-
dell, Wilfred Goldman and Maurice
Steingold. A program of laugh-pro-
voking parodies and sly hits at mem-
bers of the lodge is promised.
Kathleen Peirea, in great demand
for her dance specialties, has con-
sented to appear in what is predict-
ed as a memorable feature of the en-
tertainment.
Besides the novelty proposed the
usual fun-making properties of con-
fetti, streamers and bizarre souvenirs
have not been overlooked.
Officers of the lodge and members
of the committee in charge, who have
been preparing for the event for the
past several weeks in the endeavor
to bring it up to the standard of pre-
%ions social affairs given by the lodge
are expressing the fear that the huge
auditorium will fail to accommodate
the hundreds of dancers and merry-
makers who are expected to attend.

An event in New York of historic
character is the purchase by the He-
brew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid
Society of America of the historic
Astor Library building, which the so-
ciety, after alterations, will make the
home of its activities, in order that
it may more successfully carry on
its work in the interest of the Jewish
immigrant. The new home is cen-
trally located at Lafayette street,
near Astor place, New York city.
The Hebrew Sheltering and Immi-
grant Aid Society has long outgrown
its present home at 229 East Broad-
way, where every department and
bureau has been suffering from lack
of space. In addition to that the
building is an old one and everything
that has been done to tot it up make
it more modern and more sanitary
has not been sufficient to bring it up
to the necessary standard of require-
ment.
It has often been necessary to rent
other quarters for immigrants who
could not find place in the home,
and quite often has it been necessary
to give two and three services in the
dining room of the home because of
insufficient places for all persons eat-
ing there. The situation at last be-
came a very difficult 011e• The offi-
cers and directors realized that if
something was not done very soon,
the work of the society would suffer
very much. particularly with the
larger resumption of Jewish immi-
gration aid work in this country.
There could be no question of
building a new structure at this time
of untold high prices of building ma-
terial and labor. It was no easy task
to obtain a building already con-
structed that could be converted to
house the necessary activities of the
society. Fortunately the society.
through the chairman of its building
committee. Mr. Harry Fische!, filially
succeeded in obtaining the Astor Li-
brary building, one of the finest struc-
tures in New York. located at a cen-
tral point of the greater city. It is
an ideal building in the fullest sense
of the word.
Because of the noble purpose for
which the building will be used by the
Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant
Aid Society the trustees of the Astor
Library sold the structure for the
nominal sum of $325.000. It will cost
about $75.000 to make the necessary
alterations. All in all then, this na-
tional home for the Jewish immigrant
will cost $400,000.
The new home will contain, among
other features:

pert advice upon all immigration mat-

There is music that is distinctly
Jewish, with a Jewish national touch
that is entirely different from the
music of other people, the kind that
grips the heart of every Jew' when it
is played rightly. "Zimro," the Pales-
tine Ensemble, composed of six Jew-
ish musicians who arc traveling under
the auspices of the Zionist Organiza-
tion of America in the interest of a
Temple of Art in Palestine, gives
proof of this.
The six musicians in the Zjinro Ens
semble are to appear in Detroit on
\I arch 7 at the Arena Gardens. They
are the only group of Jewish musi-
cians in the world who have banded
themselves together in the interest of
Jewish music and Jewish art, and they
are perhaps the best fitted to advance
thi mute of their profession in that
they come with a world-wide reputa-
tion from Russia, where they have
studied at the musical conservatories
of Moscow and St. Petersburg.
The Ziniro sextette has made tours
in all the big cities in Europe and the
United States, and were everywhere
received with great enthusiasm. They
made their debut in this country at
the convention of Zionist Organiza-
tion at Chicago in September, 1919,
and there received an ovation that
reechoed throughout the country.
They have since won the recognition
of Jew and Gentile alike in this
country.
The best sign of the recognition ac-
corded the Palestine Ensemble evi-
denced itself when the group made
its appearance before the Bohemian
Club of New York. Only the very
best of musicians are invited to play
before the members of this club. 'fle
ovation given the Jewish artists was
a tremendous one. And as a mark of
further recognition the Bohemians
booked the sextette for a second ap-
pearance before their members.
The sextette includes the following
personnel: S. Benison, clarionet; J.
Cherniayski, cellist: G. Mistechkin.
first violinist; K. Moldavan, viola; G.
lierodny, second violinist; L. lierdi-
chevsky, pianist.
Tickets for the concert are meeting
with a ready sale at a number of Jew-
ish stores in the city. They will be
placed on sale at Grinnell's during
this week.

EMIR FEISUL WILL ASK
FOR FRENCH MANDATE
FOR SYRIA IS RUMOR

Paris.—The Emir Feisul. whose
Arabian state interests clash, as is
known, very considerably with those
who are out for the Palestine State,
does not seem to have got much sat-
isfaction in France. First a statement
of agreement between the Arabs and
the French was semi-officially -de-
clared to have been arrived at and
then it was semi-officially denied. A
good many people ofsimportance in
France want to know whether Feisul
has a sufficient backing in his own
country. It is rumored that Feisul
is to ask the l'eace Conference for a
French mandate for Syria. being as-
sured in return that he will exercise
practical autonomy over Damascas,
Horns, Hama, and Aleppo. There is

There is a striking drawing by
Hishenberg, the gifted and lamented
portrayer of the Golus. A bleak
stretch of wild country with the ele-
ments raging and two groups of fig-
ures, vaguely outlined, are moving in
opposite directions, one to the East
and the other to the West. The pa-
thetic faces of one group in the pic-
ture cast longing, pitiful glances at
the sorrow-laden countenances in the
other troupe of wanderers—but the
two groups fail to meet.
For the picture is a picture of Czar-
doin expelling its Jewish subjects and
driving them \Vest while sending its
Jewish soldiers to defend its sover-
eignty with their blood in the East.
I thought of this drawing when I
learned that the delegates sent by
the Joint Distribution Committee to
Ukrainia failed to meet and confer
with the representatives of bleeding
Ukrainian Jewry who were sent to
this country to lay the needs of our
people in Ukrainia before the Jews of
the United States, and I wondered
what new Czardom of our own it was
which decreed that our relief workers
sent to succor to the needs of our
brethren abroad, shall not listen to the
messages which have been forwarded
here to the Jews of America and
which hate been brought by devoted
sous of our people at the risk of their
very lives. The unfortunate Jewish
men and women, driven from Russian
cities, bent under the knout of their
persecutions could not turn from their
course of exile and their sons sent to
defend their country in the Russian-
Japanese war under military com-
mand and had sworn to he true to the
land which oppressed them and theirs.
So the two groups in the picture did
not meet. But why is it that Profes-
sor Israel Friedlander, Judge Jacob
Fischer and NIr. hi ax Pine, sent by
o ur relief agencies to minister to the
needs of our tortured and bleeding
brethren in Ukrainia failed to meet
and to confer, failed to give a hearing
and to talk things over with Dr.
Abraham Coralnick and Mr. Meir
Grossman, who were delegated by the
Jewish National Council of Ukrainia
and by the Central Relief Committee
of that country to come here and to
tell us the story of Ukrainian Jewish
sufferings, to make their requests,
suggestions and recommendations
with regard to the immediate needs of
our brethren still living within the
shadow of pogroms. Why is it that
the Joint Distribution Committee, pre-
sumably speaking and acting in behalf
of the three relief committees which
are gathering funds for the Jewish
war sufferers, failed to arrange a meet-
ing and to give the delegates from
Ukrainia an opportunity to present
their credentials and reports, to make
their recommendations with regard to
the immediate requirement of Ukrain-
ian Jewry and to give the benefit of
their knowledge and information to
the men who were about to leave for
the parts from which our visitors had
just come here?
Is it possible that the Joint Distri-
bution Committee did not know of the
arrival here first of Dr. Coralnick and
then of Mr. Grossman? Their com-
ing was reported in the general press
and the Yiddish newspapers publish-
ed cables as each one of the delegates'
sailed from London and after that pre-
seated ffing interviews telling of the
conditions which they left behind and

Future of Achievement and

FIRST FARM COLONY

Opponents of Anti - Semiticism

Goes on Strike.

By Stephen G. Meyers.

(Special to The Jewish Chronicle.)

Berlin—What political, social or
economic structure may emerge at
some future (late from the chaos
that is Germany, no man may say.
Berlin is at present the City of An-
omalies. Here are stolid burghers
who before the war sought no higher
pleasure at the end of the business
day than a quiet pipe with old cronies
at a neighboring "Wirtshaus." Now
they arc a pushing, yelling, fighting,
clawing mass of humanity, swarming
before the doors of a theater, fight-
ing every man to obtain, at 250 marks
a head, a seat—at what? At the per-
formance of one Celly Delheyd, an
actress, a dancer "au nude" who
nightly poses and postures in some
outlandish "Paraguayan" exhibition.
Here indeed, is a world gone mad.
a world suffering still from emotional
shell-shock, a queer distorted topsy-
turvy old world.
Businesses that were flourishing be-
fore the war, languish now.
Mean
trades that before shunned the high-
ways are now in the ascendant. Your
banker may now be treated like an
equal, but your garbage collector is
become a regal personage who must
be well paid, if he is to relieve your
premises of accumulated rubbish.
Slowly but surely something is
emerging—something solid, reliable—
something partaking of the nature of
the days of thrift and honesty and
close absorbtion in work. It casts
its shadow on the transparent screen
of the present. It is alive and mov-
ing. Soon it will appear--but not yet.
Sometimes the passing event is
tinged with what the future holds in
store. And on this hint one may now
and then venture to predict.
Perhaps in no single fact may the
trend of events be traced, but in a
multitude of them, scattered here and
there in out-of-the-way corners of the
German papers there is significance
indeed. For example:
During the war a little group of
Jews got together and formed an as-
sociation with the object of encourag-
ing farming among their people in
Germany. The association acquired
a farm in Halbe, 30 minutes by train
from Berlin. The first Jewish farm
colony in Germany is to be estab-
lished there. The land already pur-
chased will support 30 families, who
will devote their time entirely to hor-
ticulture. The members of this col-
ony have been chosen with great
care and for their special aptness for
the work. Au agricultural specialist
will act as general supervisor.
The direction of the wind is shown
not merely by this straw but by a
dozen others. Whatever happens in
the Germany of the future, indica-
tions seem to point to the fact that
the Jew- is going to occupy a place
of prominence in the state. He is go-
ing to be respected not tolerated. Ile
is going to be honored not faintly
praised. He is going to ascend to
the seats of the mighty as surely as
he was hurled from than in the (lays
agorae; Whether the farm colony
will continue to expand and become
a parent of other colonies, which, in
the aggregate, by their enormous pro-
duction of food, will prove the sal-
vation of Germany—or whether it
prove a miserable failure—is im-
material. Only worthy of note it is
that the experiment is being viewed
with favor by Gentile and Jew alike.
