The Cinema Theater is now
showing the film triumph from
Czechoslovakia, "Symphony of
Young Love." This picture was
photographed in the beautiful
Szaveha Valley in Bohemia with
an all native cast. The perform-
ance of its two leading characters
outshines anything done by pro-
fessional actors.
Beautiful Bohemian music of-
fers a background that carries
one away with its unusual charm.
There is very little talking in it,
English dialogues title are there,
but the excellent directing and
story telling eliminates even their
need.
Those who were born and raised
in Europe will have fond, mem-

be the romanticism of the Old
World. None will go away dia-

Helen Jepsoil Soloist on Ford
Hour Sunday
Helen Jepson, glamorous so-

and acclaimed by critics as the
"find" of the year, will be guest
artist with the Ford Symphony
Orchestra and chorus, under the
direction of Victor Kolar on Palm
Sunday, April 6. The program will
be broadcast from 9 to 10 p. m.,
EST, over the entire coast-to-coast
CBS network.
Miss Jepson was born in Penn-
sylvania and reared in Akron, 0.
From childhood she possessed an
intense desire for vocal expression
and her voice attracted attention
while at high school. After gradu-
ation, still fascinated by music,
she set out to secure the first job
she could get in order to carry on
her study. This was in a music
store where she sold records of
artists she admired. Soon there-
after she applied for and won a
scholarship at the Curtis Institute
in Philadelphia. In 1928 she made
her operatic debut with the Phila-
delphia Civic Opera and in 1930
she scored with the Philadelphia
Grand Opera Company. Not long
after, Gatti-Gasazza heard her on
a radio broadcast and offered her
a Metropolitan Opera contract.

Seasoned Artists and Choria-1
ters in Cast of "The
Dybbuk"
When the Detroit Civic Opera
gives the American premiere of
Lodovico Rocca's "The Dybbuk",
May 6, in its spring season in the
Masonic auditorium, and the per-
formance of Borodin's "Prince
Igor" on May 11, a group of sea-
soned artists and choristers will
assist the stars of the Metropoli-
tan and Chicago Opera in the for-
mer work and will themselves be
responsible for the colorful pres-
entation of the latter.
They form an organization,
known as the Art of Musical Russ
mill and have headquarters in New
York City. They have been espe-
cially selected by Thaddeus Wren-
ski, artistic director of the•Civic
Opera, because both background
and training give this group the
requisite understanding to fitting.
ly interpret the spirit of such ope-
ras as these two works, new here.
There are no amateurs among
them. Rather, practically all the
choristers and soloists were at one
time or another members of the
great Russian Opera companies
during the Czar's regime, Thor-
oughly trained as actors as well
as singers, their history has been
a highly colorful one since the
revolution.
Ford Builds 'Roads of South-
west' as Part of Texas
Exposition
Henry Ford, caught in the
spell of the romance of historic
and modern roads, is building the
"Roads of the Southwest" as a
Dart of the Ford Exposition at the
Texas Centennial which opens at
Dallas June 6. This part of the
Ford exhibit will include repro-
ductions of nine short sections of
important trails and highways
which played important roles in
the development of the Southwest
The roads will wind around the
lagoon on one side of the Ford
Exposition Zuilding. Each unit
will be paved with an exact repro-
duction of the surfacing material
used on the original road. In-
cluded in the group will be re-
constructed sections of the San
Antonio Road, Fort Worth Pike,
Chisholm Cattle Trail, Butterfield
Stage Road, Santa Fe Trail, lien
American Highway, Magazine
Street in New Orleans, Main
Street in Dallas, and Yuma Road.
The route now known as San
Antonio was used as early as 1690
by the Spanish. It crossed Texas
from Eagle Pass to San Augus-
tine. Early settlers paid ■ tax
to the Spanish crown to travel
over this road. It is still known
as "El Camino Real," the king's
highway.
Another Texas highway shown
is the Fort Worth Pike. Origin-
ally this was an Indian trail from
Dallas to Fort Worth which was
developed into a stage coach line
and later into a commercial high -
way. Buffalo once roamed the
country adjacent to this road and
stage coach drives were alway s
armed when traveling over it.

t3ENOIT-LEVY AND HIS
ENCOUNTER WITH NAZI
His "Le Maternelle" Starts at
Cinema Theater Next Wednesday
Jean Benoit-Levy, the famous
French motion picture director, of
"La Maternelle" (Children of
Montmarte), the French screen
classic which is to open at the
Cinema Theater, commencing Ap-
ril 8, is probably one of the few
JEAN BENOIT.LEVY
Jews who , by his steadfast atti-
tude, won a fight against the
Third Reich.
Interviewed in New York, Jean
Benoit-Levy, who is also the gen-
eral secretary of the French Edu-
cation Department of the League
of Nations and a high executive
of the French Educational Cinema,
had the following interesting story
to relate:
"I was engaged by a French
motion picture concern for the
position of director of the film,
"La Maternelle". When the film
had its premiere in Paris, my job
was finished because I had abso-
lutely nothing to do with the com-
mercial part of the business.
"One day a few months after
the Paris premiere, the French
producer informed me that a Ger-
man concern would be interested
in acquiring the film at very favor-
able terms. Of course, I was de-
lighted that my picture had re-
ceived such international recogni-
tion as to be bought even by the
purified screen of Aryan Germany.
"Fourteen days later, I was
visited in Paris by a representa-
tive of the German concern who
proposed to me that I should drop
the word, "Levy" from my name
and just call myself "Jean Benoit"
as far as the German presentation
of "La Maternelle" was concerned.
When I explained to the man that
my family has been living In
France for the last 200 years un-
der the name Benoit-Levy, and that
I would not change my name mere-
ly because of a possible success,
the German representative pulled
out his wallet and asked, "how
much?" Naturally, I turned him
out of my apartment
"A few months later I received
press clippings from German pa-
pers of my picture which was first
shown in Berlin. These clippings
referred to me simply as Jean
Benoit.
I communicated immediately
with the Society -of Authors who
threatened the German company
with a law suit. Immediately, all
the advertising, all the posters, all
the screen announcements, all the
publicity regarding this film, con-
tained my full name, Jean Benoit-
Levy.
"From this significant incident,
have drawn a moral. I am neither
proud nor ashamed to be a Jew.
I am simply a French Jew who
has the right to proudly carry a
name and I will not permit any-
one to violate my dignity as a man.
"1 was agreeably surprised to
learn of the courageous attitude
of a single Jewish newspaper
which still appears in Germany,
"Judische Rundschau", which did
not hesitate in relating the entire
story, and attacking violently the
misrepresentations of the concern
which acquired my film for the
Third Reich."
"La Maternelle" has just fin-
ished playing its fifth capacity
month in New York. It will open
for its first Detroit showing, com-
mencing April 13, at the Cinema
Theater, Columbia at Woodward.
Report Shows Jews
Of All Lands Aided
By Zion Migration
During 1935, the Jews of al-
most two score countries were
able to find homes in Palestine,
thus relieving the pressure of
the Jewish problem in those
lands and simultaneously enab-
ling 61,541 homeless Jews to
find permanent homes, accord-
ing to a statistical report is-
sued by the United Palestine
Appeal, which seeks $3,500,000
during 1936 for the settlement
in Palestine of a maximum
number of the Jews of Ger-
many, Poland and other lands.
Of the 61,541 Jews who
came into Palestine in 1935,
the report shows, the largest
number were from Poland,
which sent 27,291 Jews. 7,747
came from Germany. The lat-
ter figure does not include two
other groups of German Jews:
several thousand who came in
as tourists but whose perma-
nent stay will be legalized, and
Jews who fled from Germany
but came to Palestine from
other European countries.
Jewish immigration from Ru-
mania was 3,596. Other coun-
tries and their total of Jewish
emigrants to Palestine are:
G r e e c e, 2,122; . Lithuania,
1,967; United States, 1,638;
Yemen (Arabia), 1,425; Czech-
oslovakia, 1,397; Latvia, 1.042;
France, 1,021; Austria, 961;
Turkey, 764. The balance
was from other countries.

'.:ensus of Jewish Social
Workers
NEW YORK (WNS) — Jewish
youth's present status in America
its possiblities of adjustment to
CO n d itions in the transitional
stages, its future and its various
methods of attempt at solution
of the problems besetting it will
take a prominent place among the
deliberations of Jewish social
workers this year when the 37th
annual meeting of the National
Conference of Jewish Social Serv-
ice takes place in Atlantic City
from May 30 to Juno 3, An-
nouncement of the decision to de-
vote a substantial share of the
conference's annual meeting pro-
gram to a discussion of "Jewish
youth in America" was made here
by Harry L. Glucksman, president
of the conference, following the
quarterly meeting of the confer-
ence executive committee.
The executive committee of the
conference approved plans for
convening the annual meeting at
Atlantic City from May 30 to
June 3, accepted a report fixing ,
the Hotel Chelsea at the shore
resort as the conference headquar-
ters for the annual meeting, de-
cided to conduct a census of Jew-
ish social workers throughout the
country, and adopted a report of
the program committee which
gave consideration to the youth
problem. the executive commit-
tee also decided upon publication
of a fortnightly news bulletin, en-
title "Jewish Conference." This
new publication, supplementing
the already existing Jewish Social,
Service Quarterly which is issued
four times a year, will, according
to Mr. Glucksman, "reflect the
continuing, progressive character
of the Conference as a body
whose work is going on all
through the year."
The census is to be conducted
by a special committee, headed by
Dr. Maurice J. Taylor. of Pitts-
burgh. It will be the first census
of the kind ever undertaken in
this country, and will indicate the
number of social workers in the
Jewish field, their educational
background, and professional qual-
ifications.
