DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE and The Legal Chronicle
Irving
Davidson, nationally
known authority on Jewish hu-
mor, will appear on Tuesday,
April 30, in the Center's Jewish
Lecture-Concert series. Mr. Da-
vidson, who comes from New
York, will deliver an illustrated
lecture on "Jewish Wit and
Humor."
Possessor of one of the larg-
est collections of Jewish stories
and anecdotes, Mr. Davidson has
contributed articles on Jewish
humor to various periodicals, and
is now at work on a manuscript
which will be published in book
form shortly. Mr. Davidson is
known to travel for hundreds of
miles in order to add an item
to his collection. He is a bril-
liant lecturer, and is famous for
his mastery of the art of story-
telling. Many Centers have
brought him back for several re-
turn engagements.
He keeps his audience in a
continuous state of hilarity, and
also throws an interesting criti-
cal light on the nature of Jew-
ish humor.
Mr. Davidson's appearance will
be the fourth event in the Jew-
ish Lecture-Concert series. The
fifth and final program in the
series will be a recital of folk
songs in costume by Miss Nina
Gordani, who has appeared on
Broadway, has sung in many
capitals in Europe, and in many
leading cities in this country,
and who combines a beautiful

Center Players
Production May 1
The enter Players' major pro-
duction of the year "The Whole
Town's Talking," is rapidly near-
ing the date of presentation,
May 1.
This hilarious comedy,
was
written by John Emerson and
Anita Loos, eminent Broadway
playwrights.
Talent of this year's presen-
tation is exceptionally good. The
director, Miss Regina Schiller,
has been endeavoring for the past
few weeks to polish off several
highlights of the play. Most of
it is centered about the activi-
ties of a nit-wit bookkeeper, who
is trying to establish a reputa-
tion as a "glamour boy" and is
utilizing the names of celebri-
ties he doesn't even know to aid
him. He is also aided by his
boss and friend, who is nearly
as comical as he. His plans are,
however, nearly thwarted by the
sta•'t (the beautiful girl whose
name he "misuses") fiancee and
other individuals, who all add to
the spirit of frivolity and hilari-
o u s comedy which prevails
throughout the entire play.

Here is a family being moved
out of their home town in Po-
land by Nazi agents. Most of
their belongings have been seiz-
ed. Their savings have been
seized. The order has been giv-
en. They must move on to the
fringe of existence—to the No-
Man's Land where they will be
forced to live in open fields with-
out protection from rain or cold.
They can and must be helped by
the Joint Distribution Commit-
tee, which is the only agency
that has been carrying on a
systematic war relief program in
Poland.
Funds for this and other vital
tasks of the J. D. C. must be
raised through the 1940 United
Jewish Appeal for Refugees and
Overseas Needs which is seeking
to raise $23,000,000 for relief
and rehabilitation overseas, Pal-
estine settlement and recon-
struction and integration of ref-
ugees in the United States. The
three constituent agencies of the
United Jewish Appeal are the
Joint Distribution Committee, the
United Palestine Appeal and the
National Refugee Service.

"Almost daily the newspapers

us and to our friends?
"It is gratifying to know that
in the field of cancer we can
tutrn to a large national organi-
zation, the Women's Field Army
of the American Society for the
Control of Cancer, for a sane
and careful evaluation of all the
developments in the fight against
this disease. The Women's Field
Army keeps up a continuous bar-
rage of facts through literature,
newspaper and magazine articles,
and broadcasts. The program of
this health movement represents
the best thought of leaders in
the related fields of medicine and
research.
"The Women's Field Army de-
serves the support of all thought-
ful men and women. It is doing
an invaluable educational piece
of work."
The local Feld Army will com-
plete its fourth annual campaign
to educate the public that early
cancer is curable by a period
of enlistment April 22-30.
A public solicitation of funds

ture will be conducted in Down-

Passover Services
Of Jr. Congregation
Of Shaarey Zedek
All boys and girls of the Jun-
ior Cangregation of Shaarey Ze-
dek are urged to attend Pass-
over services which will be held
Tuesday and Wednesday, April
23 and 24, and Monday and
Tuesday, April 29 and 30, in the
Kate Frank Memorial Building.
The services will begin promptly
at 9 o'clock. Interesting and ap-
propriate discussions will be giv-
en by speakers who have been
invited to address the Junior Con -
gregation. The following will
deliver addresses during the Pass-
over festival: Albert Gordon.
April 23; Louis Gordon, April
24; Miss Rose Stolsky, April 27;
Miss Zelda Rosenthal, April 29;
Max Chomsky, April 30. Shel-
don Lutz and Sam Krohn, mem-
bers of the Junior Congregation,
will act as cantors.
Leaders of the Junior Con-
gregation made this statement:
"There is no better way of
implementing the education of
our young people than by having
them become familiar with one
of the most familiar founda-
tions of Jewish life—the Syna-
gogue. The Passover festival as-
sociated as it is in Jewish tradi-
tion with so beautiful a liturgy
and so many inspiring ideas, can
best be appreciated if in addi-
tion to the Seder Service at the
home, all young people will par-
ticipate in the services at the
Synagogue. We are certain that
a large congregation of young
people will assemble to join with
the whole household of Israel in
marking the festival of Pass-
over."
Sabbath services on Sabbath
Chol Ha-Moed, April 27, will be-
gin at 9:30 a. m.
Anti-Nazi Stickers in Berlin
PARIS (WNS) — Small stick-
ers reading, "Down with Hitler
—we prefer one Jew to a hun-
dred Nazis," were found posted on
buildings on the principal streets
of Berlin on Christmas Eve. The
Gestapo found it impossible to
blame Jews for the stickers, the
report said, since Jews are pro-
hibited from appearing on the
streets in the evening.
