illustrates sufficiently the earnest in-
terest which James Rothschild takes
in all Jewish affairs. Following the
traditions of his great father, Baron
James Rothschild has al•ys shown a
keen interest in Palestine and has
visited that country a number of
times. Since the Balfour declaration
was announced he has become a mem-
ber of the Zionist organization and
one of the most active Zionists in
Eastern Europe.
Major Rothschild is a man of
strong literary and artistic inclina-
tions, is the author of many books on
literature, and has written a drama
which has more literary than dramatic
value. In the highest French circles
he is familiarly known as the "intel-
lectual aristocrat" and is greatly re-
•pected and appreciated for his high
education and literary taste.
He has been given a thorough
Jewish education and is fully familiar
with Jewish literature.
Major and Mrs. Rothschild were
given a public reception at the Hotel
Cstor. The gathering. which was at-
tended by many leading Jews, was
presided over by Judge Julian SA.
Mack and the speakers included
Rabbi Dr. Stephen S. Wise, Dr.
Schmarya Levine, the guest of the
even!ng,, and Rev. Z. H. Masliansky,
who spoke in Hebrew. Major Roths-
child spoke in praiseworthy terms of
Britain's historic role in enabling the
Jewish people to reinstate itself on
its own sol. Mrs. Rothschild. who is
•haring honors with her husband, is
considered one of the most beautiful
i•omen in Europe.

Discussing first the philanthropic
program of the lodge, Mr. Ginsburg
explained that it includes work of a
national and local nature. "The na-
tional and international phases of the
philanthropic program is taken care
of primarily by the local lodges
through the payment of a certain per-
centage of each member's annual dues
to the district grand lodge, which, in
turn, devotes these funds to the sup-
port of its national charities, its hos•
pilafs, orphan asylums, and similar in-
stitutions," Mr. Ginsburg declared.
"The local angle of this program is,
of course, of primary interest and im-
portance to our members. This in-
cludes participation in local drives
carried on in the community of na-
tional or international drives, purely
local campaigns for worthy causes, co-
operation with the Jewish charities,
an interest in penology in relation to
the Jewish problem, and similar ac-
tivities.

LONDON JEWS PLAN
WEST END THEATER
FOR YIDDISH PLAYS
New Playhouse Will Open Soon;
Artists to Tour Country
With Repertoire.
TWO JEWISH WOMEN ACT
AS JUSTICES OF PEACE
By Leopold Spero.
(London corresplvonns oTt
)•
Detroit Jeri"
LONDON.—Mr. Ernest C. Rolls,
head of the Syndicate formed to give
London its first West End Jewish tilt-
ate:, told me something of his plans
the other day. For a long time there
have been eager requests for such st
theater front many of the most 'nett-
ential Jews in the country, and ,a)-
iready financial backing is fully assured.
The scheme is ambitious, entailing ea
it does the conveyance from all pule
of line world of the most distinguished
Jewish actors and actresses, scarcely
any of whom have been seen in thus
country before.
The theatre, which has been. already
acquired, is situated in the heart of
the Metropolis, not ten minutes' walk
from Piccadilly Circus. It commands
a good site and West End prices will
rule. The number o artists who have
been engaged is verY large and some
half-dozen companies are .o be forms
ed to cater for big provincial townd
with Jewish populations as well as
for London.
No play will run longer than for
four weeks and the repertoire to be
given will include famous kiddish
classics, Shakespeare and Shaw, and
celebrated English comedies, both
"straight" and musical. The adaption
of these inlays to the Yiddish tongud
is being carried on by some of the
best known translators, and when the
venture starts at the end of February
or the beginning of March there will
be a choice of over a hundred plays
before the management. .
Plays Are Ready
Among those for early production
are:
"The Scholumas," "Scales of Judg-
ment," "Joseph and His Brethren,'
"King Solomon," "The Offering of
Isaac." "Titus the Tyrant," "Moses
and the Orphan," "King Lear," "Rah.,`
bi Annon, the Martyr, "The Black
Jews," "Jews of Toledo," "David the
False l'rophet," "Jacob and Esau,"
"Tice Rabbi's wife," "The Jews," "The
Soul of the People," "The Philanthro-
pist," "King Herod," and many, others
follow later.
Mr. Rolls' object In promoting this
scheme is to give to the Jewish race a
permanent status in the histrionic art
of this country and to show in its true
light and the real nature of our peo-
ple; and he is confident that after a
time almost as many Christians as
Jews will Inc visiting this theater de-
spite the language difficulty for the
Yiddish tongue alone is to be em-
ployed. One thing, however, is cer-
tain, and that is that If the venture is
unsuccessful, it will be through the
apathy of British Jewry itself and not
from any lack on initial support, mor-
al or material.
hIr. Rolls is a son of the late W.
Darewski, who died only a week or
two ago, and who was in his tin- • a
well-known Chazan. Other sons in-
clude Herman and Max, who, in the
past few years, have carved out a
name for themselves in the musical
world. We wish Mr. Rolls the best
success is a venture for which Lon-
don has long been
