' Plans for the erection of the
Detroit Historical Museum are
gaining momentum and the fund-
raising drive, which will start on
Monday, will be conducted un-
der the general chairmanship of
Dr. Frank Cody, who heads the
building and endowment fund
Committee.
George W. Stark of the Detroit
News, president of the Detroit
Historical Society which is acting
as trustee for the project, has
written a: pamphlet, "Oil for the
Lamps of Detroit," which ex-
plains the objectives of the drive.
Mayor Jeffries is honorary
chairman of the drive. Dr. David
D. Henry, executive vice-presi-
dent of Wayne University, is gen-
eral vice-chairman.
Serving on the campaign com-
mittee are Leonard N. Simons,
Alfred Epstein, Miles Finster--
wald, Nate S. Shapero and Dr.
Leo MP. Franklin.
Inspiration for action in inaug-
urating this building project
came in the form of a gift from
Mrs. Charles-B. Pike, daughter
of General Alger—an offer of
$50,000 toward creation of the
Detroit Historical Museum, on the
condition that an additional mini-
mum $200,000 be raised as a
nucleus for the plans.
This proposed museum would
preserve historical material of
locality, would house and cen-
tralize this material and prevent
its loss or destruction in scattered
places of storage, would make
the material available for histor-
ical research and educational
purposes, stimulate interest in
local history and tradition, and
restore its historic background to
the , community. The museum
will be located in the Art Center-
Wayne University area.

`Yiddish Bette Davis,'
Stars at Littman's
12-14 in Role in 'Children
Without a Home'
The Yiddish stage has discov-
ered its own "Bette Davis" in
the talented young actress, Anna
Toback, whose current dramatic
role in "Children I4Vitheut a
Home," the Yiddish dramatic
success, which is coming to
Littman's Peoples Theater this
Friday evening, May 12, is simi-
lar to that of the famous film
star's characterization of her
late movie, "Of Human Bond-
age." Hence the nickname Miss
Toback has recently attained, as
the "Yiddish Bette Davis."
Although a popular and gifted
Jewish stage prima donna, Miss
Toback accepted a highly dra-
matic role as a treacherous,
scheming "other woman" in
"Children Without a Home,"
which just completed an entire
season's run in New York, and
which will be presented at the
Littman's People's Theater for
only three additional, consecu-
tive performances on Saturday
night, and 4unday matinee and
evening, May 14.
Miss Toback, who will play
her original role in "Children
Without, a I- Tome," written and
produced by Louis Freiman, is
a protege • of the late Morris
Gest, who "discovered" her in
a singing part in "Experience."
Gest immediately signed Miss
Toback, whom the Broadway
producer eventually featured in
his American productions.
All tickets dated May 7 will be
honored Sunday matinee, May

S. Lemeshev Featured in
`Musical Story' at Cinema
y
Operatic stars are no novelty in
Hollywood, but Sergi Lemeshev's
appearance in "Musical Story,"
comedy-musical currently at the
Cinema Theater, marks the first
use of a distinguished singer of
the classics in a Soviet enter-
tainment film.
Lemeshev, one of the leading
tenors of the Moscow and Lenin-
grad state opera companies, was
welcomed by the critics not
merely for his singing but for
his expertness in handling a light
comedy role. Soviet audiences
were quick to acclaim it as a
work rich in tastefully presented,
freshly arranged music.
