RETROSPECTION

that we are returning to the nine-

'they cannot be far wrong.
So let's go back mentally to the

eighties. It should be • splendid

THE WEEK IN REVIEW

Rothschild Intermarriage

From London, England, comes the news
story that

Miss Rosemary, elder daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Lionel de Rothschild, was married to
Denis Cotner Berry, son of Sir Comer Berry.
The wedding: was quietly celebrated at the
Registry Office and later at St. Columbia
Church. The father of the bride, who is the
president of the United Synagogue of England.
was not present at the religious ceremony.
The bride was given away by the Earl of
Roselsery.

This story is of particular interest to the
large Jewish audience which acclaimed the
film "The House of Rothschild." The pic-
ture emphasized the tradition in the Roth-
schild family against intermarriage, while
the hero of the play sanctioned his own
daughter's intermarriage with an English
officer. Now comes additional proof that
the Rothschild tradition opposing the mar-
riage of members of the family outside the
Jewish faith and fold has been broken.
But the great film, which was so faulty
in historical data and which, instead of
acting as a deterrent to anti-Semitism, may
accomplish the opposite end, appears to
emphasize the clannishness of the Jew and
a certain Jewish unity which in reality does
not exist.
