E. ARONSTAM, When the "Dybbuk" was first presented in the Neighborhood' Playhouse in English, the dramatic critics went wild over it and the audiences, both Gentiles and Jews, were thrilled and most profoundly impressed by its dramatic and colorful contents, replete with an occult and esoteric philosophy. When this play was given in Yid- dish by the "Wilna Troupe," the effect on the Yiddish speaking public was a thousand-fold aug- mented, because it struck a more comprehensive an d responsive chord. Those of Chassidic descent were Stirred and harkened back to the days of their youth, per- haps eye witnesses to similar hap- penings as pictured in this drama. Then came the "Habima" and of- fered the "Dybbuk" in a pure and classic Hebrew and our Ilebraists pleased by it were pointing with pride to the possibilities of Ilebrew as an aesthetic, as well as practi- cal medium.

Frank, able young sports writ- er of the New York Post (Miles Publishing Co.) is the first book to deal with the achievements of Jews in athletics. Written as an answer to Gen. Charles Sherrill's unfounded assertion that there never was an important Jewish athlete, Frank's encyclopedic work covers Jewish participation in 19 major sports. Excellent as it is, it might have been improved if the author had taken more time and gone into Jewish athletic achievements in Europe. Most of the book deals with the l'United States. Nevertheless, it is an im- portant and timely contribution and certain to become an inval- uable source book. HISTORICAL How a Jewess single-handed broke down the prejudice against higher education for women, raised the funds for a women's annex to Columbia University and thereby became the founder of Barnard Colege is told without affectation in "Barnard Beginnings" (Hough- ton & Mifflin) by Annie Nathan Meyer, the woman who achieved this notable victory. Mrs. Meyer's book is not only a valuable addi- tion to the history of higher educa- tion for women but an interesting commentary on the role of Amer- ican Jewry in the development of higher education. Incidentally Mrs. Meyer is a descendant of Rabbi Gershom Mendos Seises who was the first Jew to serve on the board of trustees of Columbia Univer- sity.

It is hoped that the composer has fathomed the proper nuances and symbolisms that permeate this Chassidic legend. The theater-going public is quite familiar with the "Dybbuk" in a number of languages. Let us now portray the author of it, the man who called himself An-ski, which is merely a pseudonym, and whose real name was Solomon Seinvil Rapoport. Anski was both a Russian and Yiddish writer, as our brief biog- raphy will show later. Born in Mit in Witebsk, he spent his childhood days within a Chassidic environment.
