Keep Opinions Free,
Warns Chronicle's
Editorial Cartoonist

Harry Bressler, national syndi-
cated editorial cartoonist of The
Detroit Jewish Chronicle, in an
address in Hackensack, N. J.,
warned that opinions must be
kept free and pointed out that the
United States is the only place
where such rights are given.
He traced the history of the
editorial cartoon in America from
its earliest use in Benjamin
Franklin's Pennsylvania Gazette
of May, 1764, wherein the colonies
were pictured as a disjointed ser-
pent with the legend "Join, or
Die." The powerful pictorial mes-
sages of Thomas Nast were
touched upon as having largely
contributed to the downfall of
Tammany during the era when
the Tweed ring was looting New
York.
Reminiscing about his personal
experiences with the late Arthur
Brisbane, for whom he drew more
than 250 cartoon in the year 1935
alone, Bressler observed:
"It must be definitely under-
stood that the editorial cartoon is
not a means of entertainment. The
cartoon is a shock of reality, the
communication of the sense of
life. If the cartoon functions at
all, it is in the portrayal of the
forces at play in man, in the in-
terpretation of the kaleidoscopic
events that hurl themselves across
the pages of our newspaper. For
this reason, the cartoon may be
termed the most vital of all the
arts, because it must porray the
significance of things that happen
while they are happening."
America, he pointed out, is per-
haps the only remaining land
where an artist can freely express
his own convictions.

Rabbinical College Beth
Joseph of Tel Aviv Ap-
peals for Funds

Rabbi J. Kancepolsky is now
visiting Detroit in the interests
of the Rabbinical College Beth
Joseph of Tel Aviv. Rabbi Kan-
cepolsky is the executive director
of the New York office of the
institution.
Yeshivah Beth Joseph was
founded at Tel Aviv in 1929,
as an outgrowth of the world
famous Novaredok Academy bear-
ing the same name which had
many branches throughout Po-
land. With the transplantation of
the Eastern European Jewish
communities to Palestine, the num-
ber of students increased and
smaller groups were organized in
Jerusalem, Bnai Brak and other
settlements of the Holy Land.
The Tel Aviv academy, headed
by Rabbi H. \Vhitkin, is one of
the leading centers of higher Jew-
ish learning in Eretz Israel.
All funds are cabled directly
from Detroit to the institution.
Rabbi Kancepolsky's solicita-
tion is under the supervision of
the Vaad Ha-Yeshivoth (Michigan
Committee for the Support of Re-
ligious and Charitable Institu-
tions), 1550 Taylor Ave., Trinity
1-2934.

Original Polish Ballet Fea-
tured for Second Week
at Westwood Gardens

The Original Polish Ballet, now
beginning its second successful
week "under the stars" at West-
wood Gardens, Michigan Ave.,
one mile west of Telegraph Rd.,
Inkster, Mich., is presenting
those in Detroit and surrounding
communities with an unprecedent-
ed opportunity of seeing this
world-famous group for the first
time at popular prices.
Felix Sadowski, former War-
saw Opera dancer, is director,
Choreographer and chief dancer.
Janina Frostowna, young Polish-
A merican ballerina, is a gifted
leading female (lancer.
The whole group is young,
alive, graceful and talented. They
present national dances of Po-
land that have authenticity and
old-world charm, which they per-
form with great skill. Gaily-col-
ored native costumes add im-
measurably to the appeal. The
outstanding numbers are the
"Country Wedding" and "Char-
das".
The Baker Twins, James and
Joe, and their orchestra play
their specially-arranged rhythms
for dancing and feature the
charming vocalist Sally Romine.
Dancing begins at 9 p. m. and
continues throughout the evening.
There are two complete perform-
ances of the Polish Ballet, nightly,
the first at 9:30.
