The Jewish Publication Society
of America, Philadelphia, Pa., has
published in English translation the
Sholom Ash tragedy, 'Sabliatai
Zevi," dealing with life of the false
Messiah who, in the seventeenth
century, stirred the non-Jewish as
well as the Jewish world with his
proclamations that he was the Cod-
anointed to lead the Jews back to
Palestine.
This play is in three acts with
six scenes, a prologue and an epi-
logue. In the powerful style of
Shalom Ash the play takes the
reader and spectator through the
most important stages of the ca-
reer of Sabbatai 'Levi, culminating
in his donning the turban and ac-
cepting Mohammedanism to save
his life which was threatened by
the Sultan.
Florence Whyte and George Ra-
mie' Noyes ably translateai the play
from the Russian. Four photo-
graphs, three of Sabbatai Zevi and
one of Nathan Azati, illustrate the
volume.

l'AY DAY. Ity Nathan Asch. Publivh.1
liv Ilrewer and Warren. Inc., 6 East
Flit y•third street, New York 112.601.

This is a morbid but masterful
work. It is the story of sexually
obsessed Jim who thought of noth-
ing but woman and what he could
get out of her.
Tay Day" is just one day's ex-
perience in Jim's life. It opens at
the moment he lands in the sub-
way with his pay, describes his
perverted thoughts as he travels in
the subway, while in the tub at
home, on the L, in the movies, in
the speakeasy.
Nathan Asch, the author, has
certainly completely covered Jim's
right of cheap fun which, we are
told by the publishers, is the life
of three-fifths of New York.
Mr. Asch was born in Poland in
1902. Ile has mastered languages
traveling through Europe. Came
to this country, joined the navy,
released from it because under
age, had varied experiences which
included making and spending
money on and off Wall street. Has
written movie scenarios. Plans to
return to Europe this spring.

Chevrolet's owner service policy
calls for free replacement —including

Chevrolet's fiat-rate charges are the

Chevrolet service is available at more

The only way to get satisfactory
smoothness in a low-priced car is to
