GREAT YIDDISH TALKING PICTURE, Samuel Untermeyer
SHOLEM ALEICHEM'S "TEVYA," WILL Leaves $100,000 to
BE SHOWN HERE APRIL 25 TO MAY 5 Hebrew University

The greatest Yiddish talking
picture ever produced—"Tevya"
—based on Sholem Aleichem's
great story "Tevya der Milchiger
(the Dairyman)" will come to
Detroit for a 10-day showing at
the Cinema Theater, 59 E. Co-
lumbia, from April 25 through
May 5.
Featuring the great actor
Maurice Schwartz 'cast the star
role, "Tevya" has a cast of 500.
Music for the production was
written by Sholem Secunda, fa-
mous as the composer of "Bei
Mir Bist Du Shein. '
Sholem Aleichem was a man
of the people. He was a Ukrain-
ian Jew who possessed a unique
love for the Steppes of Ukraine
and its scenic beauty. He un-
derstood the life of the Ukrain-
ian peasant just as well as that
of the Jew. The Ukrainian soil
was as near and dear to him as
a mother, therefore he could
create better than anyone else
the character of his beloved
hero, "Tevya, the Dairyman."
The Ukraine is proud of Sholem
Aleichem and all his works are
translated into Ukrainian.
"Tevya, the Dairyman" is a
universal character. He could be
an American farmer or an Irish
milk dealer, and each people
could point to such a hero be-
cause he is both human and
tragic.
Tevya philosophizes about life
—he has no education but he
thinks like an educated man. He
is never clever, but he acts like

a wise man because life, the soil
