Felix M. Warburg, Herbert II. Leh-
man and James N. Rosenberg have
cabled 1/r. Rosen, the Joint Distribu-
tion Committee's representative in
R Want, denying reports that the re-
lief work in the Ukraine and White
Russia is to be liquidated. On the
contrary, funds have been provided
for a continuance of the work on its
present large scare, which Dr. Rosen
is asked to carry on without inter-
ruption. They say:
"Notwithstanding rumors, we can
assure you there is no reason to
worry about immediate liquidation of
Russian work. The matter will re-
ceive consideration later in the fall
when results of our present activities
in Russia, co-operation and funds
available will be definitely known.
Meanwhile funds have been provided
to continue work on the present scale
without interruption."
This cable was sent after a confer-
ence between the leaders of the Joint
Distribution Committe with Dr. Boris
Bogen, who came on to this country
because rumors of impending liquida-
tion by the Joint Distribution Com-
mittee had reached Russia. It Poll-
catea that the continuance of the
Joint Distribution Committee's work
in that country is dependent upon
the results of the program Oct into
operation there, the co-operation that
it will receive from the government
and, finally, upon the payment of
outstanding pledges made during the
national appeal for $14,000,000.

the founding of the Grand Furniture Co.,
over thirty years ago, coined names have be-
come almost entirely associated with stores of-
fering a cheap character of merchandise. We have
therefore changed our name to EDMUND-CLARK
CO., as this name better characterizes the high type
of furniture to be seen here. We are proud to say
that we are one of the very few furniture stores in
Detroit that still caters to that discriminating class
of people who demand the better types of furnish-
ings—furnishings of unusual distinction and beauty.

(time. Regina Prager, appearing
Sunday evenin as the star in "The
Grandmother's Will," at Orchestra
Hall, scored a triumph for herself
and her company. This veteran act-
ress, who has been one of the ruling
lights of the Yiddish stage, is a great
singer in addition to being a great
actress, and those who attended the
performance last Sunday had a treat
offered them in the appearance here
of Mme. Prager.
"The Grandmother's Will" is a
light opera with the opening scene in
Russia and closing in America. Ichik
Omkus and family await anxiously
the coming of the rich grandmother
from the United States, but, instead
of seeing a rich society woman, they
are confronted by an old lady in rags,
who tells them she has nothing and
came to seek a home with her chil-
dren and grandchildren. The latter
tell her to go where she comes from
and made no attempts at hiding their
disappointment at seeing the poor in-
stead of rich grandmother. The son
of Omkus, a fine looking chap who
falls in love with every woman he
meets, is the only one in the family
circle to offer his assistance to his
grandmother, who then reveals her-
self as the really rich woman who
disguised herself as a beggar for the
sake of testing the love of her kin.
The scene of action is transferred
to America. Yankel, the loyal grand-
son, finds it impossible to change his
habits and loves for women and en.
dangers his chances of receiving the
82,000.000 promised him by his
grandmother. He finally consents to
marry a cousin of his who loved him
long before he inherited his grand-
mother's fortune, and Namy Mis-
raehi, the grandmother, keeps her
promise and awards her fortune to
the fortunate grandson.
Abe Cogut, manager of the Yiddish
theater here, who is responsible for
Mme. Prager's coming to Detroit, an-
nounces that among the series of
great attractions in Detroit for the
Yiddish stage will be the coming here
of the famous Jewish actor, Boris
Thomashevekv, with a star cast, on
Sunday evening, May 20, in his new-
est operetta, "Lebedig and Freilach."
Mr. Thomsshevsky and company will
also perform at Orchestra Hall.
