DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE

Bnai Brith Speeds
Iowa Flood Relief

Rushes Aid as Plea
Comes from Lodge

By TYLER BROOKE

HOLLYWOOD — Our editorial

hat is doffed to Hollywood
stars who, twice within the past
few days, responded nobly with
time, energy and talent, on a
strictly gratis basis, to aid some
of the more unfortunate victims
of our modern, though often in-
different, civilization.

I(1

At the invitation of the Mex-
ican government a plane-load of
film favorites flew to Mexico
City to take part in the annual
four-day Fiesta Dc Primavera,
a government-sponsored charity
devoted to building a milk fund
for undernourished children.

Among the participants were
Danny Kaye, Brian Donlevy,
John Payne, Olga San Juan,
Joan Canfield, Robert Walker,
Gloria De Haven, Jane Greer,
Virginia Mayo and Kathy O'-
Donnell.
—G-

ONE OF THE fiesta highlights
was the charity premier of "The
Best Years of Our Lives," dona-
ted for the occasion by Samuel
Goldwyn . . . Meanwhile, Harpo
Marx undertook the ever-diffi-
cult job of rounding up a score
of top performers on behalf of
the $500,000 building fund cam-
paign for the new non-sectarian
and inter-racial West View Hos-
pital planned for Los Angeles.
The audience that packed the
Shrine Auditorium was treated
to one of the finest benefits ever
staged—and who wouldn't enjoy
such a cast. Edward G. Robin-
son, Tony Martin, the Nicholas
Brothers, Joe (the Champ) Louis,
Frank Sinatra, Red Skeltpn,
Hadda Brooks, George Burns,
Jimmy Durante, Benny Good-
man, Eddie Green, Peg Leg
Bates, Benny Carter, George Jes-
se!, Lou Holtz, Marilyn Maxwell
and many other performed.

Danny Kaye, who was also
scheduled, didn't return from the
Mexican jaunt in time. Aren't
you sorry you missed it?

PRODUCER MARK
MARK HELLIN-
GER, a stickler for film realism,
recently added ex-Sing Sing
convict, Philip "Monk" Fried-
man, to the cast of "Brute Force"
his latest U-I picture on prison
life. Friedman, now devoting
most of his time to lecturing on
the prevention of juvenile de-
linquency, is one of the founders
of the Osborne Society, which
helps ex-prisoners find work.
That old Hollywood custom of
re-issuing films has had a face'
lifting. Now it's called "encore
engagements," and the first film
to reopen under the new policy
is "The Jolson Story." •
For my money, "The Jolson
Story" is top-flight entertain-
ment, regardless of the name
given to sales methods.

AN INTERESTING sidelight
on the recent anti-Soviet, anti-
communist hysteria which swept
Hollywood, is the fact that al-
though producers are doing their
best to whip out anti-Red pic-
tures in a hurry, they seem to
be having a devil of a time try-
ing to find writers of "liberal"
persuasion who are willing to
work on the stories for them.
No doubt the trouble arises in
the past red-baiting orgies to
which the "liberals" themselves
have been subjected. Maybe J.
Parnell Thomas could do the job.
After all, he's a "liberal" him-
self. He even admits it!

Where shall the children (and

another woman, can bring this
womanly duty home?
