Were You In the Army?
Many New Fe•tures to Make Classic
Bible Evening an Innovation
in Detroit.
Are you keeping up your war risk
I know you believe in
insurance?
insurance— everybody does nowa-
days. But we don't always do what
we believe in doing. The govern-
ment insurance is purely a business
proposition. It is cheaper than most
forms of insurance, and has many
liberal features which no ordinary
insurance company can afford to of-
fer. Get a rate card from any insur-
ance agent and compare it with the
government rates. Then you will see
why I urge you to keep it up. Once'.
you lose your policy you have lost
one of the chances of a lifetime to
get a real bargain. But if your pol-
icy has lapsed see if it can't be re-
instated.
The presentation of "Saul and
David," the Hebrew play to be etuged
at Orchestra Hall by the pupils of
the United Hebrew Schools of De-
troit, will mark an innovation in
classical stagecraft among the Jew-
ish people.
B. Issues, superintendent of the
United Hebrew Schools of Detroit,
pointed out that the idea of drama-
tizing portions of the Bible and hav-
ing it staged by children is not new.
In every little 'town of the Old
World where the Bible was studied,
such plays were staged on different
ticcasiens.
Thus, at the Feast of Purim, the
play of Esther was generally staged;
on Passover, "Joseph and His Breth-
ren" was presented. Most of those
plays, however, were staged in very
crude and primitive form. Pharaoh,
the king of Egypt, gave his royal

ance, bonus, clothing, or anything connected with

orders from a soap box that served
as a throne, and as a royal person-
age would be dressed in a paper cos-
tume, with a tin crown on his head.
The language used was crude, the
Yiddish vernacular having been used
at all times, not the ancient Hebrew.
Undergo Changes.
IRS
These primitive plays are now a
matter of ancient history, they hav-
ing undergone a great ninny radical
changes. This is evidenced in the
Hebrew play to be staged here March
27. Never before has a seined gone
t osuch an expense as did the United
Hebrew SehOols of Detroit in the
prpearations for the staging of "Saul
and David."
fhe many features of the Hebrew
performance trill include the singing
of a number of solos connected with
the play, by Milton Rosenberg,
mezzo-soprano, who is being espe-
cially trained by Cantor A. 51. Min-
kowsky, composer and director of
most of the music in the play.
II. llonigman, stage director of the
Yiddish Theater, is coaching the play..
Miss Mary Wetsman is heading the
program committee the dance.
Mrs. S. Levine is in
in charge of the
preparations of the costumes and
Mrs. Israel Kaplan is heading the
ticket committee.

With the view of curtailing to a very large extent the possibilities of
Jews to he elected to the Hungarian Diet, a bill was passed at Budapest
dividing the country into election districts in such a way as to disfranchise
practically all city dwellers. While in form the bill discriminates against
cities rather than religions, its practical effect will be a severe curtailment
of Jewish chances to have their men elected to the National Assembly, in
view of the fact that most Jews in Hungary are city dwellers.
