or rather to re-create and renew in

emotional triumph tench he achieved

Moscovitch is a great influence for
the communal good, as are all Jews
who demonstrate the quality and the
versatility of the national genius to a
public like the British, which asks
nothing more than that genius, what-
ever its race, shall give them of its
hest. At the same time prosperity
is settling hint down into something
not quite his natural self, something
rather too successful and accepted
to stand for all it might in real Jew-
ish significance.

Judging from the sale of tickets to
date and the conscientious manner in
which the Board of Directors are
working, the Second Annual Formal
Ball of the Young People's Society of
Temple Beth El promises to be the
most elaborate affair in the history of
the organisation. No detail will be

Previous to the departure from this

Ileifetz, the name Toscha Seidel was
well at the front of the list of cele-
brated violinists appearing in concert
throughout the United States. Dur-
ing the past season, however, Seidel
has fought his way to the top of the
list and is now considered one of
the greatest living violinists. Detroit
would be unfortunate indeed if it m ere
not included in the list of cities in

Artist Recital of Miss Sylvia Simons
Wins Enthusiastic Approval
of H

Sylvia Simons, pianist, re-
ceived an ovation last Thursday after-
noon when she appeared in recital at
the Bay City Board of Commerce.
A well-halaneed and excellently
chosen program included compositions
of Bach-St. Saens, Beethoven-Busoni,
Gluck - Itrahanis. kameau-Godowsky
Rachnlanineff, Dohnanyi and
Grainger.
Commenting on her recital, the mu-
sical editor of the Bay City paper
said: "Miss Simons' rendition of the
numbers in her program was exquisite,
and the poetic feeling she portrayed
was more marked for her unusual
touch and perfect execution."
Miss Simms, who is the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. I). W. Simons, of this
city, is a graduate of the lianapol
School of Musical Art. After leaving
the school she studied in New York
with Edwin Hughes and Ernest Hutch-
inson. Her first concert work was
done last winter.
Following the recital a reception
was held during which the members
and friends of the Bay City Thursday
Musicale were given the privilege of
meeting Miss Simons.

during the present year and it is.
therefore, a welcome announcement
that he has been booked by the Cen-
t-al Concert Company to appear
at Arcadia Auditorium on Tuesday
evening, January 25th, in joint recital
with Miss Anna Case, soprano of the
Metropolitan Opera Company.
Seidel's playing differs materially
from that of any other violinist in that
his work borders on the sensational
and he has never been known to dis-
appoint an audience. He is one of
the most celebrated pupils of the great
Leopold Atter and each stnnmer finds
hint at Lake George, N. Y., as a mem-
ber of the Auer musical colony, par-
ticularly that he may derive the benefit
of that eminent teacher's assistance in
the preparation of his concert pro-
grams. It is for this reason that
Seidel's programs always include
. many of the most difficult composi.
1 lions which are not usually found in
I the numbers appearing on a recital
program. His appearance on January
125th will be his only Detroit recital
of the season and as many of the older
violinists have passed from the horizon
temporarily, much significance is at-
' tached to this fact.

An event of unusual Merest among
the medical profession of Detroit will
be the annual dinner-dance and Wash-
ington Birthday party to be given by
the Malmonides Medical society,
Tuesday evening. Feb. 22, 1921.
The Malmoniden Medical society
comprises about 80 per cent of the
Jewish physicians and surgeons of
the city who have banded together
for scientific and social purpose.. The
health and interest of the community
has always been foremost in its mind
and is at the present time conducting
a health campaign In the columns. of
the Jewish Chronicle.
The annual dinner dance Is always
looked forward to by the memhers
and their friends ais the outstanding
social event of the season. This year
the affair will be held in the ball room
of the Hotel Stotler. Many surprises
and novelties of unusual interest will
be featured.
The dinner dance and party are In

mittee which costal' of Dr. S. E. Bur
nett, chairman; Dr.. S. S. Danziger,

Plays Dignified Shylock.
I remember him telling me not long
ago that he always bore in mind, when
he played Shylock, the essential dig-
nity of said with which Shakespeare
was inspired when lie wrote The
Merchant of Venice. In an age of
blind prejudice the greatest of Eng-
lish poets took his stand on the side
of freedom. only deferring to the
ignorance of the crowd in small parti-
culars which could not affect the
nobility of the whole picture. Mos-
covitch holds strongly to the opinion
that Shakespeare intentionally left it
open in his subtle draughtsmanship
of this character for the actor to put
whatever degree he could of Jewish
sympathy into Shylock's pleading of
his cause and that it is therefore es-
senitally a character for a Jewish
actor to play. But now, I fear, Mos-
covitch has tasted too long of the
sweets of Shaftsbury Avenue to tear
himself from the portrayal of the con-
ventionally unconventional romantic
"artists" which the British Gallery
thrills to see. We shall get no more
Shylocks from him, only Great Lov-
ers.

Jews Advancing Artistically.
But a Yiddish Theater for the West
End. There's a "proposition."
Meanwhile, we are advancing artis-
tically in other directions. Zangwill's
"Melting Pot" has been revived for a
day or two amid an appreciation and
enthusiasm which it does one good
to hear. There is talk of a very young
new Hamlet from the provinces who
is half a Jew and wholly a revelation.
Young men and women in the eon
triunity are doing progressive and gem
uinely constructive work in the realms
of literature, painting, sculpture
poetry, music and politics. Philip
Guedalla is regarded as one of the
coming men in the Liberal party, and
he certainly has a pretty Disraelian
wit. Gilbert Frankua has more than
fulfilled as a novelist the traditions
of his mother, Frand Danby, and his
romance." Peter Jackson, Cigar Mer-
chant" is regarded as a most brilliant
picture of young Englishmen in war
time. Harold Rubinstein has gone
back to the Law, but still writes an
occasional clever play. Philip Vos is
rapidly building up a name in the city,
but still holds forth occasionally in
the old, confident, masterly way on
economic subjects. We have Harold
Laski back again in Manchester to
ladder the pages of the Liberal press,
Siegfried Sassoon to write us poems.
and Benno 51eiaewitsch will be with
us before very long to enthrall the
old maids and young maidens at
Queen's Hall. Among the older men.
Jacob Epstein and Albert Taft leach
the front rank of sculptors, and Will
Rothenstein has left the professorial
chair of decorative art in Birming-
ham to become principal of the Royal
College of Art at South Kensington,
where he will no doubt be responsible
for the next 'movement" among our
young lions of the camel-hair brush.

Jewish Girls, Favorite Pianists.
Two Jewish girls are prime favor-
ites with the musical world as pianists,
and have already at an early age
achieved something like international
reputation. These are Irene Scharrer
and Myra Hess, both of them "self.
made" in the sense that they have
nothing but their own genius and
hard work to thank for their pre-
eminence. Pretty little Lily Kanev.
skaya makes the third, but she is
younger and her future is yet the sub-
ject of development.
Irene Scherer has been since 1915
the wife of Gurney Lubbock, a House
master of Eton College, possibly the
most exclusive and greatest school
in the world, and in this capacity the
King's third son, Prince Henry came
under her tutelage. Naturally, the
social demands of an Eton house-
master's wife are apt to make inroads
upon the work of the artist, and her
public appearances are comparatively
rare, even in the fashionable society
where she has long been a favorite.
How-ever, she is still among the great-
est of technicians, possibly just a
little lacking in the divine spark of
feeling which is more the gift of Myra
Hess, the simple and charming girl
with whom Mims Scharrer trade her
last appearance recently. The two
girls are great friends. but as different
in appearance as they are in the ex-
position of their art. Irene Scharrer,
elegant, aloof, very much the woman
of fashion, perhaps a little too neglect
ful of the essential Jewishness which
after all gave her art to her.
