FROST ADDRESSES
TEMPLE AUXILIARY

U. of M. Poet Gives Interesting
Talk at Woman's Auxiliary
Meeting.

An unusual afternoon's entertain-
ment and instruction were afforded
members of the Woman's Auxiliary of
Temple Beth El at their December
meeting held Monday afternoon in the
vestry-rooms of the Temple.
Whether trying to define his posi-
tion as a resident poet at the Uni-
versity of Michigan, where he is
known as a Fellow, whether trying to
explain the delicate difference in shad-
ing and meaning of the "oh's" to be
found in Shakespeare's plays, or read-
ing his own poetry drawn from the
humble life of the man close to the
soil, Robert Frost is ever a simple,
unassuming man, a quiet, slow talker,
with a dry Yankee humor, looking his
part as a man of the people, a poet
who finds his drama among hired
men.

Frost's Poetry.

In Mr. Frost's poetry, no partiality
or prejudice is allowed to interfere
with his treatment of the lives of his
plain people. His composure is com-
plete even in the most tragic mo-
ments of his New England dramas.
In his poem "The Fear," which he
read during the afternoon, there is a
vivid impression of two personalities
pulling at each other running through
almost unqualified dialogue. In this
conversational tug-of-war the advan-
tage moves first to one side and then
. to the other. His ability to write
simply, naturally, composedly on the
very brink of dramatic disaster is the
power that gives Mr. Frost his au-
thenticity.
"There are only three things, after
all, that a poem must reach," Mr.
Frost declared, "the eye, the ear and
the heart, or the mind. It is most im-
portant of all to reach the heart of
the reader. And the surest way to
reach the heart is through the ear.
The visual images thrown up by a
poem are important, but it is more
Important still to choose and arrange
words in a sequence so as virtually to
control the intonations and pauses of
the reader's voice. By the arrange-
ment and choice of words on the part
of the poet, the effects of humor, pa-
thos, hysteria, anger and all emotions
can be indicated and obtained."

permitted to follow their trades. And
all the days of his life, his Jewish sub-
jects honored and blessed him.

RIDDLE BOX

Can you guess this charade?:
My first in Nathan, not in Cain,
My next in snow and not in rain,
My third in strike and not in touch,
My fourth in many and not in much;
My last in hammer and not in saw,
My whole the book which tells the law.
Just try to make that out!

be such temptation to make war, and
so that the people will not be paying
so much of their money for instru-
ments of war. In fact, they want to
talk about peace—a long peace, that
will not be broken by the greediness of
any nation that thinks itself strong
enough to swallow up another nation.
So when you come to think of it, it
wuold be queer if there were not
Jews among the delegation to the Con-
ference. For Jews have always loved
peace and hated the cruelty and
wastefulness of war. It was our own
prophet, Isaiah, who foretold a time
when "nation shall not lift up sword
against nation, neither shall they
learn war any more"

is interesting to hear that the
most important member of the little
band of Italian statesmen who have
come to Washington to meet the co-
representatives of other nations, is a
Jew. His nanie is Carlo Schanzer,
and he belongs to an ancient Jewish
family in Italy. He has reached the
rank of senator, in Italy, and was
formerly the minister of the treasury
for the Italian government. It is in-
teresting that Italy has sent a Jew,
but not surprising. Do you know
what these famous men of the great
nations have met at Washington to
discuss? They want to talk about
cutting down the navies and the arm-
ies of the world, so that there will not

For almost a year the people in
America have been interested in some
wonderful motion pictures that were
brought here from Berlin The actors
were very clever, and so was the man
who planned and arranged the motion
pictures. But most of all the people
liked the leading actress, Pula Negri,
who really seemed to make the story
come alive, so real was her acting.
Finally some well-known motion pic-
ture producers have invited her to
come and act in America. And now
that she is coming, it turns out that
she is a Polish Jewess, who worked
in a Budapest store in Berlin, and
that her real name is Paula Schwartz!
She is not the first Jewess to be a
great actress!

The election of officers will be the
center of much enthusiastic discus-
sion at the next regular meeting of
the Clairmont Club. All officers ex-
cept the president, Benjamin Safir,
will seek promotion or re-election.
Mr. Safir retires at the end of the
month after holding the presidency
for two terms. The social committee
plans to give a banquet in his honor
soon after the installation of the new
officers.
Mr. Safir's personality has indeed
been a decided factor in the many
successes of the club which have
made the organization what it is to-
day. He was the winner of the
Wachs silver medal at the Webster
model meeting. lie held a number of
high positions at Central High School.
On Dec. 22 he will represent the
Webster in a public debate against
the Cam High School. He will also
contest in the Philomathic eighth ora-
torical contest, being one of the six
elected to do so. As a reward for
his services to the organization, he
will be presented with a silver plated
gavel.
The next meeting will be held on
Monday evening, Dec. 19, in the as-
sembly room of the Utley Branch Li-
brary, Woodward at Alger avenue.

"The Death of the Hired Man,"
"The Code" are two other dramatic
poems ready by Mr. Frost, and to off-
set these, a delicate piece of lyric, "A
Hillside Thaw."
The meeting opened with the sing-
ing of a hymn, led by Rabbi Henry
Berkowitz. Mrs. Charles Walker, vo-
calist, with Mrs. Lillian Lachman Sil-
ver at the piano, offered a delightful
musical program.
An amendment to the constitution
changing the name of the Woman's
Auxiliary of Temple Beth El, to "The
Sisterhood of Temple Beth El" was
passed.
Mrs. Leo M. Franklin urged the
women to observe the festival of Cha-
nukah. Mrs. Louis Simons made a
plea for additional workers in the
Thursday sewing. A plea was made
for contributions of money for the tu-
berculous patients at Eloise. Infant
clothing for poor children was re-
quested by Mrs. Frank Hamburger.
