sometimes it might come so
thick as to arouse suspicions
even in the minds of the most
innocent. Our only hope is
that Huberman's plans for a
symphony orchestra in Pales-
tine are not another stunt out
of some fertile publicity man's
mind. While he was still in
Palestine recently, Haberman
delivered a number of speeches
about the project and showed
what seemed a genuine interest.
Palestine took him seriously—
as did many of the artists who
hope eventually to join the or-
chestra. And Palestine rarely
takes an individual seriously un-
less he gives every evidence of
integrity.

FURTWAENGLER ON THE
SPOT
On the day when the New
York Philharmonic announced
that William Furtwaengler was
going to take over the baton of
Toscanini, it was anncfunced in
Berlin that the conductor had
been taken back into the good
graces of the Nazis.
Ira A.
Hirschmann, the youthful fund-
raiser for the Philharmonic, who
did a great deal to publicize
its campaign last year, allowed
no grass to grow under his feet.
In denouncing the invitation to
Furtwaengler, Hirschmann was
expressing the indignation of
Jews and others who resented
the conductors's compromise
with artistic ethics. But he was
also voicing the dissatisfaction
of many music lovers who re-
member Furtwaengler's last
visit here with no particular af-
fection. Ilia style and his musi-
cal preferences were of a kind
to arouse hostility.

But Hirschmann, in choosing
the frank ground of Nazism on
which to fight Furtwaengler,
has started a fight that may not
have a successful conclusion.
The magnates of New York
music are not frequently sensi-
tive to New York public opin-
ion, except when they unbend
occasionally to raise funds. The
most important figures on the
board of the Philharmonic are
not Jews. But it may do some
good to demonstrate to Furt-
waengler that once one is iden-
tified with the Nazis one loses
all claim to the respect of de-
cent public opinion.

AN ITALIAN VISITOR
Enzo Sereni is the latest
notable Jewish visitor in New
York. No bands blared for him
at the pier. No headlines hail-
ed his arrival. There probably
has not been a single line writ-
ten on him as this piece is put
on paper. But this youthful,
chunky Italian Jew is as impor-
tant as most of the touted
personalities who have recently
touched these shores.

Sereni is one of the founders
of Givath Brenner. That prob-
ably means nothing to one who
has not been to Palestine or
who does not know of the qua]•
ity of that famous agricultural
colony. Givath Brenner Is
known as one of the most effic-
iently run, one of the most com-
plete ideological surceases,
among the colonies of Palestine.
Seremi is largely responsible.

Ten years ago Serenl gave
up the University of Rome. His
wealthy influential family had
no interest for him. He want-
ed to become part of the Jew-
ish homeland. So he and his
wife sailed down the coast and
across the Mediterranean to
Jaffa. They were the first
Italian Chalutzim in Palestine.
Sereni is here on a mission.
No fund-raising. No \ self-ad-
tising. He has been commission-
ed by Palestine to encourage the
creation of a chalutz movement
in America on a big scale. Ile
hopes that "the productivization
of American Jewish youth" will
appeal to the many who have
been talking about vocational
adjustment for Jews who can-
not find place in law, medicine,
etc.

SAYING IT WITH MUSIC

the present one, with the excep-
tion of such figures as Liszt, Pa-
dereweki and only a few more.

Racial Method of Approach

A number of the artists about
to be mentioned, though reputed
to be of Jewish origin, are now
of a different faith. We are not
concerned with their religion, past
or present, but solely with their
racial roots, as in the case of the
Damrosch family — Dr. Leopold
Damrosch, father of Walter J. and
Frank li. was born of Jewish
parents, but later was baptized in
the Christian faith.
It is to be made clear that the
words "Jew" and the "Jewish"
are not used in their religious or
national sense. The method of ap-
proach is purely a racial one, in
which all the musicians mentioned
have in their veins that fire to
which the Jewish prophets gave
utterance in the time of Jerusa-
lem's glory.
Nearly three quarters of a cen-
tury has passed since the poet and
composer Richard Wagner wrote
his brochure "Judaism in Music."
This volume was undoubtedly
prompted by his jealousy of the
popular successes of Meyerbeer,
Halevy and others. Facts have
since disproved all his accusations,
and by the irony of fate, some of
his staunchest champions then and
since, have been Jews.
For example, it was Tausslg
who raised the three hundred thou-
sand thalere for the erection of
Bayreuth Temple, and Leopold
Damrosch has battled in Wagner's
cause in America against appar-
ently insurmountable odds.
Wagner in his brochure wanted
to prove that the Jewish compos-
ers have impregnated music with
their Judaic spirit (sic) and that
their compositions stand on a
lower plane than those of the
pure-blooded Aryans—the Aryan
(rather Nordic) myth that has
since come to the front in America.
Musicians of Jewish origin ex-
press themselves just as harmoni-
ously and melodiously as the great
majority of their Aryan brothers.

Jewish Contributions

And without attempting to give
the Jews priority in creative music,
such works as Mendelssohn's "Eli-
jah" can well stand alongside of
Handel's and Bach's best. But
when we come to the field of in-
terpretative music, one is forced
to recognize that it is the Jewish
musicians who excel both in num-
bers and in quality.
We find that the Jewish race
has contributed to the world, com-
posers such as Offenbach, Brach,
Halevy, Mendelssohn, Bizet, Saint-
Saone, Maurice Ravel, Meyerbeer,
Mahler, Anton Rubenstein, Schoen.

ander Kipnis,.Alma Gluck, Lashan-
ska, Bloch, Dalmores, Lilli Leh-
mann, Kalisch, Wolfe, Dalosy,
Renaud, Guilford, Gabor, Donalda,
Fischer, Emma Redell, etc.
And the violinists—what Jewish
heart does not beat a little faster
when it hears the violin? Here we
have Wieniawski, Ernst, Auer,
Fritz Kreisler, Heifetz, Zimbalist,
Elman, Szigeti, Haberman, Joa-
chim, Kochanski, Seidel, Karl
Flesh, Lea Luboshutz, Gardner,
Erna Rubenstein, Rosen Brown,
!Hennes, Tas, Morini and last but
not least, Yehudi Menuhin, who
has truly astounded the musical
m
world.
Art is internationl and should
never be mixed with politics—
through music we trace the history
of mankind. History—especially
the history of the Jews—is full of
dispersions, and it is possible that
posterity may record the present
flight of the Jewish artists from
Germany as among the greatest.
Bruno Walter, removed as orches-
tra conductor at the height of the
Hitlerite regime, is one of the
world's most eminent musicians.
In music, anti-Semitism in Ger-
many antedates the present at-
tempt to oust Jews from the
learned professions and from high
places in the political life of the
nation. Wagner voiced it in his at-
tack on Mendelssohn, whom he
named, and Meyerbeer, whom he
singled out by inference.
Anti-Semitism, carried to its
logical extreme barred from the
German concert and operatic
stage musicians whose names are
household words—Mme. Schuman-
Heink (in her prime one of the
greatest Wagnerian contraltos)
and Jewish through her grand-
mother; Zimbalist, Heifetz, Fritz
Kreisler. Mischa Elman, Harold
Bauer, and, among the world's
greatest conductors Ossip Gahrilo-
witch, Kurt Weill and Arnold
Schoenberg, famous composer and
teacher ousted from Germany who
accepted the present teaching posi-
tioi in the Malkin Conservatory of
Music in Boston.
It has been my pleasure to have
met and conversed with many of
the above mentioned celebrities,
and in almost every case have
found the nits and women of this
high calling not only versed in
their own subject but possessing
keen insight and sympathetic un-
derstanding of varied other pro-
feu ions.
Oiler Celebrities
Frits Rreisler, still the king of
Violinists is also a first-rate pian-

ist as well as a composer. He has
intellect, can be forceful, sombre
or playful as the mood of a piece
demands it. Ile personally told me
that he had never composed any-
thing with the commercial idea in
mind and yet he had many trying
times. To quote his own words
"from the age of 20 to 27 I strug-
gled hard fur recognition, and I
played es-cry bit as well then as
I do now, but people did not un-
derstand. I have worked a great
deal in my life, but always found
that too large an amount of purely
technical musical work fatigues
me and reacts unfavorably on my
imagination. Technique to me is
mental, not a manual thing. The
musician is born—his medium of
expression is often a matter of
accident." As a child, Kreisler's
ambition was to be a conductor.
how musically he would have rung
up his fare—however, we are glad
he changed his mind at an early

age.

Maurice Ravel, the modern Jew-
ish composer and pianist's visit
to America in 1928 aroused keen
interest in musical circles. To
listen to him play on the concert
platform is to be kept on qui vive,
and further, to realize that he is
a living genius. Ile is original
and distinctive and his music is
marked with authenticity—Zol It
has been said of Maurice Ravel
that for transparency of tone, per-
feet balance, playfulness and de-
licious color-blendings, he has no
equal, Further, that in none of his
works can he be accused of striving
for cheap effects, either in theme
or instrumentation. He is the pian-
ist's favorite. Ravel is of Jewish
descent and his physiognomy cer-
tainly bears witness to this.
Rosa Raise, the leading prima
donna of the Chicago Opera Co.
and one of the outstanding person-
alities in the musical world, spoke
feelingly to me in the Congress
Hotel, Chicago, of the "wee per-
son" who had made her see the
fulfilling mission for which woman
was created. These are her very
words "in the presence of mother-
hood, I feel very humble, very
much in awe of the inexplicable
mystery and wonder of all that
our Creator has wrought. You
know, we mothers face a great
responsibility, one which cannot be
shifted. There is, to my mind, no
other state in which woman can
find such complete contentment as
in that of motherhood, it is the
supreme achievement of woman."
Motherhood has not interfered
with Mine. Raisa's career—she is
a woman of of compelling person-
ality as well as a great artist.
Mark Twain's son-in-law, none
other than Ossip Gabrilowitsch,
poet pianist and dynamic director
of the Detroit Symphony Orches-
tra, is known for his many inter-
ests in Jewish affairs. There are
a great many things to admire
about Gabrilowitsch apart from
his distinction as a musician, and
one of them is that he has breadth
of mind and vision. You cannot
weigh an art, but you can measure
an individual, and Mr. Gabrilo-
witsch is peerless. He is interested
in the Advancement of Music in
Palestine and urges the study of
Hebrew for our youths. He told
me he regretted not having studied
Hebrew in his childhood and would
prize the knowledge to be able to
read the Book of Books, i, e. the
Bible in Hebrew.

(CONCLUDED from EDITORIAL PAGE)

similar acts of injustice in the
past perpetuated with the same
everlasting pretenses that the
Jews were monopolizing the in-
dustrial and intellectual life of the
country; whereas the truth often
was that outcroppings of jeal-
ousy on the part of some citizens
who were outstripped by Jews eco-
nomically in some trades or pro-
fessions was capitalized by un-
scrupulous demagogues for politi-
cal purposes. As in modern Ger-
many, Jews served Vienna in the
past and when they arose in power
were hunted down. There were,
however, noble men like the good
Emperor Joseph II who extended
them toleration. On several oc•
casions it was again restricted on
flimsy excuses. The struggle of
the Vienna Jews was a heroic one.
Much is said in the book about
the causes, growth and remedies
for anti-Semitism. The reader
will rise from the book with •
renewed feeling that the degrad-
ation of a class of its citizens by
a country rebounds like a boom-
erang upon the oppressor and re-
tards his own developmert. The
most potent argumest for equal
rights, realized by the Viennese
themselves in the past, was that
deliberate restriction upon the
rights of a class of people within
the country materially as well as
spiritually injured the state.
One notes what great contri-
butions to Judaism as well as
Western culture the Jews of Vi-
enna have made. Probably very
few modern cities produced such
noble and splendid types and her-
oes as the Fischhofs, Jellineks,
Kurandas, Blochs and Ilerzls. The
work deals with the part the Jews
played in the World War and be-
comes automatically a splendid
plea for Jewish Nationalism or
Zionism. Dr. Grunwald who is •
resident of Vienna has done much
o riginal historical research and
his work cannot help being of in-
terest, not only to Jews through-
o ut the world, but to non-Jews
who are interested in democracy
and liberty.
The publication of this volume
has been made possible through
the generosity of the late Abra-
ham Erlanger who left a bequest
to the Publication Society to be
used "to defray the cost of writ-
ing or editing and publication of
a specific work or works."
The book ($2.25, plus postage)
is on sale at all book stores and
by the Jewish Publication Society,
