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.

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.

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.
