tleman, Milton Gordon, Harry Rabino-

-Sadie Keidan; recording correspond-
ent, Ethel Shetzer; corresponding sec-

JACOB P. ADLER, GIFTED
JEWISH ACTOR AT NEW
DETROIT OPERA HOUSE
A wedding can hardly be
called fashionable these days
unless an Orange Blossom wed-
ding ring is the symbol of the
marriage vows.
These beautiful, simple cir-
clets—so rich in meaning and
in sentiment—convey the sig-
nificance of the occasion as the
plain band ring never could.
We arc pleased to call attention to the fact that we are present-
ing Detroit's largest showing of Orange Blossom rings.
Jacob P. Adler, one of the most
gifted and beloved figures in the Jew-
ish theatre world, will appear at four
performances, Friday and Saturday
evening, Sunday matinee and evening,
June 4, 5, 6, at the New Detroit Opera
House, In "The Law of Life". An all-
star cast will come with hint, directly
from a long ruin In New York.
Mr. Adler, affectionately termed the
- 'King of the Jewish Stage" is past his
seventieth year, the greatest number
of which were spent In following his
chosen profession. Mr. Adler for a
considerable period appeared on the
English stage In "Shyloek", and in
"UrIal Acosta" with great success.
It is intimated that this is likely to
mark his final Detroit visit as his ad-
vancing years make It difficult for him
to tour the country. It is anticipated
that every Jewish theatre lover will
come to bid farewell to the "grand old
man and father of the Jewish Theatre
in America."

JUNIOR JEWISH NURSERY
PLANNING JUNE DANCE
One of the most attractive affairs
of June will be an entertainment and
(lance given by the junior organiza-
tion of the Jewish nursery at the De-
troit Federation of Women's Clubs
building, Hancock and Second ave-
nues, Saturday evening, June 19, at
8 o'clock.
The Detroit Jewish nursery is a
philanthropic institution that was or-
ganized about four months ago after
a thorough investigation of child wel-
fare conditions in the city of Detroit
proved that the need of a Jewish in-
stitution to take care of motherless
babies and those children whose
mothers are compelled to work for
a living was most urgent.
It is the purpose of the officers and
members to make this institution one
of the best in the state.
Following are the officers of the
organization: Mr. Benjamin Knop-
pow, president; Miss Fannie Perkers,
vice-president; Miss Ethel Rotten-
berg, secretary; Mss Solomon, finan-
cial secretary; Miss Esther Weitz-
man, treasurer.
