Marian Anderson to Sing in
Detroit on Jan. 16
Marian Anderson, great Amer-
ican contralto, now on her sixth
tour of the United States, will
include Detroit in her schedutht
when she sings at Masonic Audi-
torium, Thursday evening, Jan.
16.
Always the standard maker,
Miss Anderson broke her own
record last season by giving more
than 90 recitals in less than six
months. Having completed her
first visit to the Hawaiian Is-
lands where she made six ap-
pearances during her short stay,
Miss Anderson hurried home to
perform at the Lewisohn Stad-
ium in New York, and at the
Robin Hood Dell in her native
Philadelphia.
During the first Canadian mo-
bilization, the contralto was trav-
eling from Calgary to Winnipeg,
when an army officer approached
her and asked if she would speak
to the company of soldiers on
the train who were on their
way overseas.
"I cannot speak," said Miss
Anderson, "but I will sing." And
she sang "Danny Boy." The sol-
diers reciprocated with "Roll Out
the Barrel;" after which she
obliged with a spiritual, and they
responded with "She's a Jolly
Good Fellow." Miss Anderson's
memento of that ride is a din-
ing-car menu with the auto-
graphs and identification num-
bers of every member of the
company.
Her evening of songs here will
more than likely embrace some-
thing from Bach, Handel, Schu-
mann, all the way through French
and Spanish to songs by Ameri-
cans, and of course, spirituals.
The concert is the fourth on the
series sponsored by the Masonic
Temple Association and tickets
are now on sale at Grinnell Bros.
Music Store in Detroit.
"To Please the American
Taste" — a Decade of
Manischewitz Achievement
During the past ten years or
so, it has been unusual for a
firm to record spectacular ach-
ievements in the face of the
economic obstacles inherited from
the pre-1929 "blue sky" era.
And yet, in the past decade—
once at its beginning, and now
again as it draws to a close—
the B. Manischewitz Company,
world's largest matzo bakers,
have twice accomplished that
feat.
In 1931, when the business
world, by and large, was fren-
ziedly caling for retrenchment,
the B. Manischewitz Company
displayed foresignt and courage
in more than doubling its pro-
duction facilities with the open-
1 ing of a large, modern plant
•1 4in Jersey City. Benefits were
immediate and twofold. In the
tr. first place, more than 300 heads
of families found year-round
employment during the lean de-
pression years; and in the sec-
ond place, greatly enlarged fac-
ilities, including many technical
advances in matzo baking, made
possible the quiet period of ex-
perimentation which has resulted
in many important improvements
in the varied line of Manische-
witz Matzo Porducts.
This period has seen the per-
fection of a new type of package
for Manischewitz Matzo Meal,
but perhaps the most spectacular
achievement has been the crea-
tion of the new Manischewitz
American Matzo. New in size,
and completely different in flav-
or, this new matzo has been
"baked to please the American
taste," to quote those associated
in perfecting it.

in draperies, curtains and linens
and they have been assembled in
a remarkable display and offered
during this event at sale prices."

president of the local chapter.
Principal speaker at the Kovod
Night was Henry Meyers, presi-
dent of the Jewish Community
Center. Herman Jacobs, execu-
tive director of the Center, de-
livered greetings on behalf of the

BNAI DAVID MEN'S CLUB
The Bnai David Men's Club's
annual Chanukah dinner held
Dec. 26 was a complete success,
with a large attendance.
The club is now preparing for
its next event, on Jan, 9, at 8

be the speaker of the evening

Perhaps the most profound
document yet to come out of the
horrors of the second World War
is "Lost Souls Limited," by Lion
Feutchwanger, an exclusive, spe-
cial feature in the current issue
of Friday Magazine.
Recognized as one of the world's
greatest living novelists, author
of "Power," "The Pgly Duchess,"
and '"Josephus" among other
powerful works, Lion Feutchwan-
ger's new record of what anti-
Fascist refugees were forced to
endure is a startling story of
human heroism in the face of
appalling suffering and degrada-
tion.
Mr. Feuchtwanger's sensation-
al Friday story tells how he
was faced with certain death if
he fell into the hands of the
conquering Nazis, and describe,
with stark suspense the trials he
underwent before his friends
were able to effect his escape.
Today, after his own harrow-
ing experiences, Lion Feuchtwan-
ger is free to continue his great
work as writer and anti-Fascist---
but many of his famous friends
and co-workers, uncertain 01
their fate, still remain trapped
in French concentration camps.
