Urial Acosta to Be Pre-
sented Here by Artef
Group on Sunday
Urial Acosta, which was pro-
duced by the Artef Theater Col-
lective in New York last winter,
and was exceptionally well re-
ceived by the critics there, is
soon to be presented here in a
condensed version by an out-
standing group of the same col-
lective.
The program, of which Urial
Acosta will be the major work,
will also include "War Victims,"
by A. Godwin; "Rent," a com-
edy by the talented young Jewish
writer, M. A. Suhl, as well as
a number of improvisaations and
recitations.
The coming of the Artef will
be welcome news to the Jewish
theater-goers of this city, as this
group of artists occupies a dis-
tinguished position in the Jewish
theater in the United States. This
is the third nation-wide tour in
as many years by outstanding
members of the Artef collective.
The troupe this year consists of
Michael Goldstein, Harry Gendel,
Dina Drut, Sol Eisikoff and Abra-
ham Hurwitz.
The Artef group will be seen on
Sunday evening, Oct. 27, at North-
ern High School, Woodward and
Clairmount Ayes.

HERE are two ways you can go about
engineering an automobile.
You can think it out—or tinker it out.
You can get right down to the trugh job
of building abler performance into the
engine — or you can fuss around with
things that seem to do a job.
It is plain, of course, that the sole source
of car performance is the power plant.
N ow,sweating out more power from the
same size engine and the same amount of
fuel is a tough, down-to-earth, hard-work
job.
But that's what Buick engineers have done.
Through FIREBALL design and Compound
Carburation they have provided greater
and more flexible power in the engine
itself—and what you get from that is this :
More power—eight, eighteen or twenty-
four more horsepower than last 3-car.
the benefits of overdrive
at all speeds, as much as 10% to 15% more
miles from every gallon.
More mileage
—
Easier car handling—less need for gear-
changing from tremendous reserve power
that takes the hills smoothly without drop-
ping into lower gear.
A nd finally — you get a chassis that is
simple and clean, uncluttered by added,
intricate mechanisms that are hard to
service.
In brief—you get greater basic capacity
for performance—and that's w.,rth ask-
ing your nearest Buick dealer akitit.
