THE JEWISH NEWS-57 Friday, September 8, 1950 Music and Umbrellas Theme of Bemelmans' Latest Picture Story No one could have done "Sunshine," published by Simon and Schuster, as well as Lud- wig Bemelmans. As usual, the famous author- artist wrote and illustrated his book. It is a story about a landlord who did not want chil- dren, cats or dogs for the apart- ment he advertised for rent. But he rented it to a fine lady who turned out to be the owner of a music school. Then came children and domestic animals. On top of it, the music . teacher acquired umbrellas which she bought in an - auction by mis- take, using up the available rent money. But she sold the umbrellas, made a profit, the school went on and eventually the landlord came back pleading that he loved the youngsters and the animals—and all turned out well. The fine illustrations and the entertaining story won for "Sunshine" the Herald Tribune Children's Spring Book Festival award. This book is remarkable from many viewpoints. The il- lustrations, ably executed, re- veal Bemelmans' viewpoint of New York. On the front cover is Lower Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty viewed from a Staten Island Ferry. Midtown Manhattan is shown from the end sheets. Gramercy Park, City Hall, Brooklyn Bridge, Empire State Building, LaGuardia Field, a subway map are among the 48 pages of pictures, 16 of them in full color. "Sunshine" is one of Bemel- mans' best works—and that is saying a great deal when refer- ring to the popular writer and illustrator. `Jerusalem' : Brilliant Work by Dr. Rosmarin Tourists in Israel will find Dr. Trude Weiss-Rosmarin's "Jeru- salem" (published by Philoso- phical Library, 15 E. 40th St., New York 16) a valuable guide during their stay in the Holy City. But the book's worth is not limited. On the contrary, it has great merit from an historical point of view. As history it is one of the best works produced about a single city in Israel and it should serve as a forerunner for similar historical analyses of other cities—Tel Aviv-Haifa, Safed, Tiberias, Beer Sheba and other Israeli communities. Dr. Rosmarin, who already has earned herself an important place in Jewish literary ranks, may well count this little book among the best she has pro- duced. Jerusalem's complete story is related here. Opening her outline with data in pre- Biblical days, she tells Jeru- salem's story in Biblical times, the era after the Second Des truction of the Temple and since that time. Interesting chapters in this volume deal with Jerusalem in Jewish history, . the Holy Places, the New City which has been created in the periods of new Jewish migrations to Palestine, the Jewish pilgrims and set- tlers. Commenting on the interna- tionalization proposals, Dr. Ros- marin show`s that the plan is unworkable, that the city's place in the Jewish spiritual-religious pattern is a "destiny-fixed and character - determined fact." A chronological table on Jeru- salem's history will prove very valuable to the reader and to the student of history. . The late Daniel Frisch, as president of the ZOA, had an opportunity to read Dr. Rosmar- in's manuscript on Jerusalem before his death. He wrote the introduction to the book, adding an interesting chapter to this fine work which deserves a place in every Jewish home. Hanukah is the only Jewish festival of which we know ex- actly when it was first observed. Vet. Zionist Advocates TEL AVIV, (JTA)—The World Zionist Organization is doomed to failure unless Zionists out- side of Israel create an organ- ized movement completely inde- pendent of Israel, Dr. Sami Groneman, veteran Zionist lead- er and })resident of the court of the World Zionist Congress, de- clared in an article in Yediot Aharonet. Dr. Groneman advocated re- moval of the executive of the World Zionist movement and the World Zionist Congress from Israel. He urged that Israel Zionists be denied the right to vote in the World Zionist move- ment, but continue to be re- sponsible for the purchase of shekels and membership in the organization. He suggested that the world movement concentrate Holiday Greetings SAVINE'S DEXTER SERVICE Fairall Trucking Co.
