If I Were Born Again

.

By MIRIAM G. SLOBIN

If I were born again
I wish that it could be
Into a safer, saner• world
Where all peoples could be free
Where Justice were not blind
Where Love so far would see
That bread and health be plentiful
For all and you and me.

If I were born again
I wish that it could be
Into a happy beautiful world
' Where all the blind could see.
Where there could be no maimed
Where there could be none blamed
For any wrong, not even you and me.

If I were born again
I wish that it could be
Into such a world where war could
never be.
Where money were not God
Where future generations trod
In racial and political harmony.

If I were born again
I wish that it could be
With the very same beloved ones
That Heaven gave to me
Where not Time nor Death could
change
My life to -disarrange
All that first' was 'dear to me.

''ANATOLE FRANCE'

Axelrad's Volume.
Of. Unusual _Interest
To Jewish Readers

One of the great volumes of,
the war era, having a. general in-
terest and entirely unrelated to
bloodshed, is Jacob Axelrad's
"Anatole France," a recent Har-
per publication.
Much of it has unusual interest
for justice for Alfred Dreyfus,
whom he at first considered
guilty, is splendidly depicted in
this fine biographical work.
The influence exerted upon the
great French author by Mme.
Leontine de Calliavet, whose
maiden name was Lippmann and
who was of Jewish origin, is of
great interest in Mr. Axelrad's
book. As her faithful lover for
25 years, it is evident that he.
Was strongly under her influence.
* * * *
During the Dreyfus affair, M.
France appeared in' court 'as a
defender of Emile Zola.
M. Axelrad quotes France's
tribute to Zola at his grave, de-
claring:
"Zola has merited well of his
country in not despairing of
justice in France. • Let us not
sorrow for .him because he en-
dured and suffered. Let ;us envy
him. Envy him! He has honor-
ed his country and the world
through an immense .work and
through a' great action. Envy
hirn his destiny and his heart,
- which made lot that - of 'the
greatest. He
He was. a moment of
the conscience of man.":

* * *

Ye it was this man France who
at one time was accused of sid-
ing with the anti-Semites. „
But his life refuted these
charges. His fight for Dreyfitt;
his- JeWish sweetheart; the fact
that his publishers, Calman-LevY
Brothers, were Jewish; hiS friend-
ship• for: Leon Blinn and Ludovic
Halevy, the dramtiSt; his view
that Charles Rappoport, a Rus-
sion JeW, was one of the world's
rare minds-these were con-
tributing factors in clearing him
of the virus Hof prejudice. Fur-
thermore, of Jules Darrnsteter,
Biblical scholar,' he had said `lie
is a Jew. He has the face of a
Jew and the soul Of a Jew; an
obstinate, patient soul that has
never surrendered!"
AxeIrad's book is worth read-
Mg. It is a splendid biography
of a very great man..

. Charlie. McCarthy is out to win
some of that $10,000 which Jack
Benny is offering with this
entry: "I can't stand Jack Benny
because he is too much like a
Close friend. of mine-and when
I say close, I mean Bergen! If
money is the. root of all evil,
Benny and Bergen should have
taken good care of the roots
of their hair as the root of all
evil."

It's wonderful news to hear
straight _from the man himself
that Ben Hecht's second produc-
tion under his Republic produc-
er-director-writer contract will
be the "Life of Semmelweis," for
which he is now writing the
screenplay. Hecht, who devoted
a chapter to' Semmelweis, the
brilliant. Jew who defied 19th
Century medical science, in his
recent book, "A Guide for the Be-
devilled," is negotiating with
Hans Joari, who played in Alex-
ander Korda's . "Lydda," to : par-,
tray the role. I predict, when
this' film is finished that it will..
be the greatest motion picture
ever made-dealing with the Jew
and the Jewish problem!
* * *
I went out to Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer studo the other day to
visit a producer-director friend
of mine who had' this memorable
story framed in his office: "A
man I. know was a helpless-crip-
ple, and utterly incurable. I
could not help asking him
whether his affliction colored his
views." "Yes," he answered;
'but I make the colors."
• * *
David Lowe and Albert Lewin,
the brilliant Jewish producer-
director team (The Moon and
Sixpense) will continue their as-
sociation following completion of
"Bel Ami," which Lewin is script...
ing from a de Maupassant story
and Will. direct with: Lowe to
produce. The picture now has an
early. January _starting date.
Great possibilities 'of the. classics
as screen material appeals par-
ticularly. to the pair, who dipped
into public domain for their
present Opus. They will not
necessarily go back so _far, hoW 7
ever, for their next production.
Lewin, by the way, wrote and
directed that terrific ,MGM hit,
"The Picture of Dorian Gray."
* * *
:Bill Manhoff, top scripter for
the famous radio program,
"Duffy's Tavern," is one of the
youngest Writers on the airwaves
=he's twenty-three. On top of
the heap as a "Duffy" writer for
more than two years, he has no
magic formula for success.
"Comedy writing is hard trade,"
Bill tells me. "Building .a script
is like building a- : house."

This must be a Postman's holi-
day. MGM Producer Arthur
Freed has acquired a 30-acre
ranch approximately ten miles
past 'Malibu Beach, not far from
Hollywood. Like many other
producers, who purchase country
places in order to relax" when
away from the studio, Freed, is
'having a stream-lined projection
room installed on the ranch!
