GIVES DETROIT LIFE PROGRAM
FOR MARCH, FISHMAN MONTH

Homer Guck, assistant to the presi-
dent of the Detroit Life Insurance
Company, explained to a Detroit Jew-
ish Chronicle reporter recently the
purpose of the program of that com-
pany in March, 1927. Said Mr. (luck:
"In the Detroit Life organization all
of us, naturally, are very proud of the
achievement of our site president,
Morris Fishnum. For 15 years he has
been associated with the Detroit Life,
and during that time all of those who
have the pleasure of business and per-
sonal acquaintance with him have
learmd to respect his unusual capacity
for work, his self-eftacement in the de-
sire to be helpful to other life insur-
ance men, his whole-hearted interest
in the success of the agents working
with him in the Fishman agency, and
particularly are we impressed with the
enthusiasm which he personally ex-
udes in his evangelical efforts to for-
ward the cause of life insurance
,,,tong the people of Detroit.
"Many years ago President O'Brien
suggested that the csinpany should
recognize his leadership in our agency
work by designating March as Fish-
man month. The thought met with
earnest and enthusiastic approval on
the part of all of our agents. Each
year since then we have observed
March as Fishman month. This year
is Mr. Fishman's fifteenth year with
our company.
"People outside of our organization,
or outside of the insurance business,
sometimes wonder at the personal in-
terest which so many agents take in a
successful man like Mr. Fishman. The
answer is that he has, at some time or
other, demonstrated his particular ca•
pacity for helpfulness to them. They,
in turn, are anxious to reflect some of
that kindly feeling, in an appreciation
worth while to hint. Every Detroit
Life agent, every employe of the De-
troit Life Company, from President
O'Brien down to the office, is inter-
ested in the success of our March
month program. Each one of us wants
to co-operate to its success.
"We have seta goal of $3,500,000
for Fishman month. I feel sure we
will accomplish that result. Mr. Fish-
man's own agency has set a goal of
$2,000,000. I believe they will do it.
"I remember the time when we first
set $500,001) as the Fishman agency
ambition for March, and we have ac-
complished our purpose.
"To the average reader of The De-
troit Jewish Chronicle I only can say
that I ant sure he must know some-
thing of the way Mr. Fishman always
responds to the call of his friends
when they want help for a worthy
cause. This particularly is noticeable
at the present time. I ant certain that
his activities for the United Palestine
Appeal Campaign are appreciated by
all of the people. Ile applied the same
diligence, the same whole-hearted en-
thusiasm to the work of that commit-
tee that he does to his life insurance
agency efforts, nod the results are, as
they always are when a . capable Iran
applies intelligent understanding and
actual brains to the working out of any
comprehensive program, realty dem-
onstrative of business idealism.
"Our company is thankful indeed to
thousands of Chronicle readers for
their co-operation in our other March
month campaigns. I know we ran
count on them for the same helpful-
ness in this fifteenth anniversary cele-
bratioa in March, 1927, for the reason
that, in the last analysis, in helping

.MUSIC AND MUSICIANS.

Mr. Fishman and in helping our com-
pany they are more decidedly helping
themselves."

"The ('harlot Revue of 1927" will
open a week's engagement at the New
Detroit, Sunday, February 27. In ad-
dition tee this season's novelties, in-
cluding "The Scottish Cabaret," "At-
mospheric," a witty wireless sketch,
and "The Last Grand Guignol," in op-
eratic tom, Chariot will also revive
some of the favorites of her first
American season, such as "A Devon-
shire Courtship" and the celebrated
"Linwhouse Blues." Heading the com-
pany are Herbert Mindin, one of the

sie Matthews, who stepped into Ger-
trude Lawrence's role last season;

Land Contract Safe Investment

While discussing the advantages of
land contract investments recently,
Charles S. Scoville of the Prudential
Mortgage and Contract Company, de-
clared: "Land contract investments
are one of the safest and best invest-
ments in the city of Detroit today. I
have (men engaged in the land contract
business exclusively for the last five
years, establishing a large clientele of
conservative investors. My business.
is limited almost entirely to handling
old well seasoned contracts, where
there is not a single element of specu-
lation involved."
Mr. Scoville was born in Cornwall,
Conn., in October, 1805, and came to
Detroit in October, 1915. He is a
member of the Hiram Lodge, No. 1, of
New Haven, Conn.; Sojourners Club
of Detroit, Heroes of 70, Detroit Board
of Commerce, Army `and Navy Club,
and many others.

A real thrill awaited the subscribers
of our symphony concerts last Thurs-
day night when Alexander Brailow-
sky, one of the foremost of young con-
temporary Russian piano virtuosi,
played first, Chopin's beautiful E
minor concerto, and after the usual in-
termission, Liszt's epochal "Danse Ma-
cabre." Here is a real genius, a heav-
en-blessed artist who has a remarkable
personality, the technique of a super-
Mall, and a brilliant, keen intellect
that subdues and guides every meas-
ure, every motive, until a perfect crown
of dazzling gems is wrought in tone
by his magic fingers. The Chopin con-
certo was played with the greatest re-
finement and with a deep understand-
ing and Warm love for its ninny un-
rivaled beauties. This was especially
true of the roinanza which became a
thing of ethereal beauty in Mr. Brai-
lowsky's hands. While the marvelous
"rondo" shone crisply, crystal clear, in
its delicacy and brilliancy. Then,
whatever phases of his technique the
soloist could not reveal in his first of-
fering—magnificent octaves, tremen-
dous skips, and purling glissandi—
these and other breath-taking assets
were dazzlingly displayed in the Liszt
opus. Only a pianist of Mr. Brailow-
sky's mentality and technical equiment
could attempt to put this difficult
showpiece over, and his success in so
doing aroused the audience as few so-
loists have ever done at any time at
these concerts. After repeated recalls
the artist responded with an inimit-
able performance of a ( hopin waltz
and a Mendelssohn capriccio. It would
pay Mr. Brailowsky to come here and
treat us to a recital. Such musician-
ship would draw a large and enthu-
siastic audience now'. •
Mr. Gabrilovvit•h, who provided some
praiseworthy accompaniments, bar-
ring two minor slips— began the con-
cert with a fine reading of Schumann's
lonely "Genoveva" overture, and pre-
sented for the first time here, Bruck-
ner s fourth symphony in I, flat
major, the one called "Romantic." At
this late hour I can only write that
this exceptionally fine and interesting
work really deserves another hearing,
one in which the "cuts" might be more
judiciously managed, and in which the
orchestra would be more familiar with
the music. The work is most original,
the themes intrinsically novel and
often lovely, and the entire workman-
ship that of a master. It is music
that deserves fairer and warmer treat-
ment, and would make a greater ap-
peal under more ideal conditions.

Music Study Club

Miss Edith M. Rhetts, educational
director of the Detroit Symphony So-
ciety, will lecture before the Music
Study Club at Temple Beth El on
Friday afternoon, March 4, at 2
o'clo•k. Apropos of the Beethoven
centennial, now being celebrated, the
life and works of the great German
master will be the theme of her dis-
course. Illustrations will be offered.
Mrs. Leo Landow, chairman of the
club's study program committee, will
introduce the speaker.
Under the auspices of the philan-
thropic committee of the Music Study
Club, an interesting program was
given for the League for the Blind at
the Christ Church community house,
Woodbridge street, on Tuesday, Feb.
22. Those participating were Sirs.
A. C. Lappin, vocalist; Sirs. Sol Q.
Kesler, pianist; Sirs. J. Weinberg,
reader; Mrs. R. Van Beaten, pianist,
and Mr. Silverstein, violinist. Mrs.
Benjamin Pearlman was chairman of
the day, assisted by Mrs. .1. Magid-
sohn.

The news of the enthusiastic recep-
tion of the opera "Resurrection," when
it was given in Chicago last season
with Mary Garden in the leading role,
was flashed across the ocean to a blind
musician who was lying ill in bed, and
it did much to cheer him. The blind
musician was France Alfano, who 23
years before had composed the music
to the opera, in which Miss Garden
has made so brilliant a success for the
past two seasons that the Chicago
Civic Opera Company will take "Res-
urrection" on tour in February and
March, and give the leading cities of
the country the opportunity to hear
this impressive music-drama.
"Resurrection," in which Mary Gar-
den will tour with the Chicago Civic
Opera Company. remains Alfano's
masterwork. It took him two years to
compose, although he had written
other operas in a few months.
For two seasons it has proved a
magnet to opera lovers in Chicago
after its successful presentations in
Europe, for it provides the double op-
portunity for great singing and great
acting.
"Resurrection" will he presented in
the Detroit season of four operas to
be given by the Chicago company on
Saturday, March 19, when "Tosco"
will be the matinee, and "Jewels of the
Madonna" the evening performance.
"Aida" will be given a lavish perform-
ance Sunday evening, March 20, and
"Resurrection" will be the final offer-
ing on Monday, March '21.
Seats are on sale now at Grinnell's.

The monthly feature of The Arts
Club for February is to be a talk by
Prof. Sano•l M. Levin, whose subject

UNDER THE GREEN HAT

Nobody can reasonably doubt that
hats hide a great variety of things,
physical and otherwise, and that much
of the hidden is revealed when the hats
come off. But a green hat has a w.little
fascinating story attached to it, and
when the wearer—in this instance
Miss Katherine Cornell, Detroit's gift
to the dramatic league of nations—
takes it off, Ind only the hidden, but a
bit of the unsuspected collies M en-
lighten the interviewer.
So we learn that Miss Cornell was
born in Berlin, Germany, of all im-
aginable places; born at a time when
her father, a surgeon, had gone to the
German capital with his wife, there to
follow a post-graduate course in his
profession.
"But we returned to our home in
Buffalo," Miss Cornell admitted, be-
fore I had tine to master so much as
'der, die, das,' and I must confess that
I am not linguistically gifted—much
to my sorrow." A cursory examination
of her srtong, sensitive, nervous hands
bore out the truth of this statement,
the lines indicating the thinker, the
scientist, always practical, with a very
strong headline, which would account
for her outstanding success as an
actress.
"The Spanish, perhaps it is Slavic,
contour of my face has often been
commented upon," Miss Cornell replied
in answer to my queries, and you are
not the first one to ask me if I had
ever thought of portraying a distinc-
tively Semetic type. We are, as far
as I have been able to discover, Anglo-
Saxon; oh, ever so remotely; and yet
I wonder if this foreign cast in my
features which you noticed may not
be the heritage of sonic don who re-
tained in England at the time of the
great Spanish Armada tragedy. I
feel quite certain that if I could find
the right type and part that I could
successfully interpret the rule of a
Jewess. But I don't know of any play
of real dramatic significance that
would give me this opportunity just
now."
And while Miss Cornell lamented the
absence of anything even remotely
Jewish in her make-up, that something
which seems to carry the talented pos-
sessor, in music as well as drama,
into the magic circle of genius, she
thought that in the absence of a repre-
sentative Jewish part (though there is
"Leah Kleshna" and "Uriel Acosta"
and most recently "The Dykhuk") she
would have to assume the title role in
Rostand's celebrated drama "L'Aig-
len," even though there would be the
unforgetable pictures of Bernhardt
and Maude Adams to lend zest to the
undertaking. At the close of my pres-
ent season of 90 weeks as "Iris" in the
play, "The Green Hat," I may serious-
ly undertake the study of Rostand's
drama. I would go to Paris for my
costumes, and I would visit Vienna,
the scene of the play, fdr historic at-
mosphere." And as she spoke and
confessed her growing passion for this
tremendous and difficult role, "whose
revival now after Hampsien's success
in 'Cyrano,' would he most welcome,"
as she outlined her work in her rich
and musically resonant voice, I could
I could, nevertheless, see a "Rachel" of
the Raise type in Miss Cornell, and I
exprest the hope that I would some
day see her in a suitable role of a
Jewess, in a drama that would give
her every opportunity to display her
many excellent and superior dramatic
ell t what a hat
gifts. You never can
may hide, and least of all, a green one.

will be "What Art Means to Me."
Professor Levin is a member of the
faculty of the College of the City of
Detroit, and the head of the depart-
ment of social sciences in that college.
Ile has been a member of The Arts
Club since 1925, and has always
shown a fine interest in the fortunts
of the organization.
Aside from the personal interest in
a subject such as he has chosen, with
his scholastic background and his con-
nection with an arts organization,
Professor Levin undoubtedly will have
something of interest to offer on Sat-
urday evening, March 5, the date for
which his talk is scheduled.
This talk, which really belongs a
week previous to the date scheduled,
in order to appear in February as that
month's number, was set for March 5,
so as not to conflict with the evening
of the Philharmonic concert at the
Masonic Temple.
The public is invited as guests of
The Arts Club to spend the evening
of Saturday, March 5, beginning at
