"Children Without a Home," Thrilling
Melodramatic Hit, at Littman's Theater

Louis Freiman's latest Yiddish
melodrama, "Children Without a
Home," starring Max Kletter and
Berta Gersten, which. just com-
pleted an entire season's run in
New York, will open at Littman's
Peoples Theater on Friday and
Saturday nights, Sunday matinee
and night, May 12, 13 and 14.
Based on the author's recent
popular Jewish radio feature of
the same name, the play, in two
acts and 12 scenes, tells a hu-
man, thrilling story of twin sis-
ters, who, as a result of the war
and the treachery of their moth-
er's old love rival, become "living
orphans". The unfortunate fain-
ity is separated and continuously
harassed by the scheming "other
woman" in the domestic triangle,

until fate takes a hand and
finally rights a great wrong.
Both Mr. Kletter and Miss
Gersten score personal hits in
their portrayal of the parents,
while Flora Freiman and Anna
Winters give Warm and believable
performances as the growing or-
phans. Anna Toback wins favor
as the jjealous woman—a robe
she created in New York, in
which the audiences there "loved
to hate her". Others in the tal-
ented supporting cast are Hen-
rietta Jacobson, Julius Adler,
Lola Feld, Eli Mintz, Simon Wolf.
Clara Gold, Abe Dorf, Isaac Arco.

In the spring—as in any other
season of the year—a night club
goer's fancy turns to thoughts of
rhythm, so Producer Bettie Tay-
lor has created a brand new sepia
revue, "Spring Rhythm," for just
such occasions. It is currently
proving very popular at Club
Three 666. Irene Wiley, versa-
tile songstress, leads a huge cast
of song and dance favorites in-
cluding Billy Bird, tap dancer;
Snooks and Allen, interpretive
ballroom (lancers; "Tanglefoot"
Crosby, dancing comedian; Bobby
Keys, permanent singing and
dancing master of ceremonies;
the Taylorettes, precision-danc-
ing octette, and others. It's Ted-
dy Buckner's music for dancing
and the revue. Al Taylor's songs
and piano specialties are an in-
termission feature.
