It is generally agreed on Broadway
that nobody 1 nows more about pro-
ducing farces than Bertram Harri-
son. Practically the whole of his very
brilliant career has been devoted to
putting oil farces for other men who
reaped the benefits. For instance, on
the programmes eef every successful
Al Woods farce, a thing which became
a by-word in the show business, you
will find the legend, "Staged by Ber-
tram Harrison."
At the Garrick Theatre Sunday
night, Aug. 5, Mr. Harrison will pre-
sent his second venture as a prmluc-
ing manager. Having, spent so many
years making money for other pro.
deicers, he' has at last decided to make-
little , for himself. And see on this
date a new farce comedy called "Pay
tee Bearer" will be exhibited under
the management as well as the direc-
tion of Mr. Harrison.

However, the glories of the Vizier I
Chasdai do not, by any means, end'
with the position and power achieved
by him at the Caliph's court. Had this
been the case, there would most like1
ly have been but little to write about.1
His glory and his power would have
passed with him to the grave at the I
end of his brief life.
But the interesting thing in the life
of Chasdai, is the fact that this great
and powerful Vizier at the court of I
Andalusia was a great lover of let- 1
tern. the arts and the sciences, and I
that he used his great wealth to spread
these accomplishments among the
Jews in Spain and in all other lonely.
Like a true !Maecenas, Chasdai at-
tracted to his person men of letters
from far and wide, caring for their i
physical needs and comforts, no that
they might study and write in peace.
From for and near, scholars, poets,
astronomers and wise men in generals
flocked to his court where they were
assured a s an appreciative reception,
proper, and even luxurious mainte-1
nonce as long as they lived, as well as
the brilliant society of their peers and
fellow scholars.
Characteristic indeed of the man
and his great worldwide interests are
two of the deeds ascribed to him by I
the historians. The one is his send-
ing to the celebrated Academies of I
Babylon for manuscript copies of the I
Talmud, so that he might introduce
the study of these sacred folios among'
his brothers in Spain; while the other
incident relates to his dispatching an
embassy to the King of the Chazars1
—a powerful nation settled on the
Volga that had been converted to
Judaism centuries previously—so that
he might fend out the truth or the
falsity of the rumors of their power-
ful Jewish Kingdom.
The rumor of this glorious fact had
reached Chasdai some years previous-
ly. It had agitated him very much,
but, try as ha would, there was no
way of verifying this report. Fate
came to his rescue, however, in the
shape of • few fellow-Jews who were
members of an embassy sent to his
royal master by some Slovenian king
ruling in the Lower Danube. These
ambassadors not only confirmed the
rumor, but also undertook to trans-
mit Chasdai's letter to the Jewish
king on the shores of the Volga.
Imagine Chasdai's joy when, in the
year 960, ■ nd after the lapse of a
couple of years. an autograph letter
from King Joseph arrived, brimful of
the powers and the glories of his peo-
ple and breathing the deepest affec-
tion for his yet unseen friend! Alas!
Joseph wee the last of his glorious
line. For, in a few more years, his
kingdom was overwhelmed by the
hordes of their Russian neighbors, his
lands conquered by his enemies, and
his people dispersed to the ends of
the earth, Just as their fellow-Jews
and brothers had been for centuries
past!
I quote here one of the many poems
written by contemporaries on this
great Jewish Prince and leader:
"From his people's neck he struck the
heavy yoke;
To them his soul was given, he drew
them to his heart;
