`Little Ceasar' Finds New Meaning
hi Living With Rebirth of Israel

By LEON GUTTERMAN

HOLLYWOOD — Edward G.
Robinson occupies a unique pos-
ition in American life. No other
Hollywood star is or has been
so well-known and so generally
esteemed by all classes. It is
quite as true that no other
Hollywood citizen has exercised
more or better influence on the
development of our national
Jewish life.
The story of his life is as
simple and straightforward as

United States. Like many an-
other American my parents were
immigrants from a foreign land,
in my case Romania. I was a
very young child when we came
across in steerage, but what
was to learn of life and of
America, I began to learn on
New York's East Side, in the
streets and tenements.

"Yet, as I grew to manhood
and as the years went on, in
which I found my profession,
success, and a comfortable way
of life, I thought of myself more
and more as an American and
less and less as a man related
to Jews in Palestine or in Ye-
men or in a ghetto in Warsaw.
You see, it is very easy to love
America, to forget that, but for
a steamship ticket, I might have
been a harrassed peddler in Bu-
charest.
"But then the Nazis came and

out of those years, out of the I 66—THE JEWISH NEWS
concentration camps, the war,
the murders, the gas-chambers,
out of the universal horror that of Israel. I am better as a man
no tongue or pen can ever fully because of Israel. I am more
ikeenly a citizen of America, my
express has come Israel.
"I have a new dignity because I land, and of the world because
of Israel.

At a luncheon given in his r , •
honor, Robinson met and talked
the President of Israel, Chaim
Weizmann. Says the motion pic-
ture star: "He's old; he's failing
in health; he's almost complete-
ly blind, but I've seen how alive
is and how urgently he feels
the problems and shares the
hope of the land he has helped
create."
Eddie believes that Israel has
brought to fruition a personal
change in him that began some
years before. He explains it this
way: " I was not born in the
