. Abraham Littman, for 24 years
manager of the Yiddish Theater
in Detroit. announced this week
that he will leave the city.
Mr. Littman added, however,.
that he will continue to sponsor
special Yiddish theatrical per-
formances in Detroit and that
during his stay in New York he
will plan to bring here the best
productions of the Yiddish stage.
"I am sincerely grateful to all
my friends for their courtesies,"
Mr. Littman said. .'`I appreciate
the respect that has been shown
me and the support I have re-
ceived, and I desire to take this
means of thanking the Jews of
Detroit for all their kindnesses."

his wife, Mr. Littman said that
he found it impossible to remain
here permanently but that his de-
votion to the Yiddish stage will
keep him concerned with the lo-
cal problem.
•Rest assured, I shall be a fre-
quent guest here," he said.
