RACHEL ZABARI

Female Member of Knesset
Appears at Fashion Show

Adding an international flavor to the
"Round the Clock" Fashion Revue, Miss
Rachel Zabari, leading member of Is-
rael's Knesset and one of the founders
of Chen, the Women's Auxiliary, of the
Israel Army, came to Detroit to join the
activities of the gala affair.
Presently in the United States to at-
tend the conference of the Inter-Parlia-
mentary Union in Washington, D.C.,
Miss Zabari ,made an appearance here
in behalf of the Israel Bond drive. In
a brief talk during the brunch in the
Oak -Room, she expressed her opinion
of American Jewry and outlined the
physical and mental accomplishments of
Bond funds in the growing democracy.
She gave credit to the Detroit Women
for showing by actual deed how they
could speed investment dollars' to Israel.

"Round the Clock" Fashions proved to be a real bell-ringer as far as
successful show business is concerned in Detroit. The Israel Bond Wom-
en's fast-moving revue in the Scottish Rite Cathedral of Masonic..Temple
drew a near-capacity throng of 1,400 fashion-curious women, who pur-
chased a total. of $160,000 in State of Israel Bonds, as admission to the
October 6 event.
Displaying a bevy of beAutiful models in original creations, the 3-act
program ran the gamut of designers, from Mangone to Monte Sano, Rent-
ner to Rudolf, 'and Berin to Ben Reig, showing off their lastest ideas for
daytime and evening wear. S. Andrew Cardinal was the gentleman in
charge ofgowns, while the luxurious fur pieces were supplied by Furs by
Robert. Splendorous settings of the French Directoire Period were con-
structed by the imaginative Wallace J. Newton.
-The fashion revue, under the able co-chairmanship ;of Mrs. Milton
Mahler and Mrs. Bernard Osnos, featured the Broadway singing actress,
Dorothy Sarnoff. Another prominent attraction was the appearance of
Miss Rachel Zabari, visiting member of the Israeli Knesset. Detroit barite
• tone Manny Holtzer added a masculine touch to the otherwise-all-female
show.
Press Awards at Brunch
At an earlier brunch end press conference in honor of the Misses Sar-
- noff and Zabari in the Masonic Oak Room, Mrs. Robert DrewS, Publicity
Chairman for "Round the Clock" Fashions, presented Citations of Honor
to representatives of the general and English-jewish press for their co-
operation in publicizing the Israel Bond Show. The awards were acknowl- •

Awards Fashion\ Prize

Between the second and third acts
of the Fashion Revue, Miss Zabari came
on stage to award prizes to three out-
standing workers on the. Bond function.
Mrs. Joseph Shapiro received a royal
Worcegter lamp and shade, contributed
by the Newton Studios. An . American
broadtail jacket from Furs by Robert
was presented to Mrs.. Ida Agabra. Mrs.
Max Goldsmith was the recipient of
Cardinal-Detroit's original 1g53 fall and
winter suit.
Miss Zabari, who was elected to the
Knesset last year, is also organizing sev-
eral general schools in Jerusalem to
educate the children of newcomers to
Israel. Always close to the scene of battle,
she served as messenger of the Jewish
Defense Forces as early as 1929, when
during the Arab riots, she shuttled be-
tween Jewish Tel Aviv and Arab Jaffa
disguised as an Arab, to carry valuable
information and supplies to Haganah
Forces.

Native of Tel Aviv_

A native of Tel Aviv, Miss Zabari re-
ceived her education in Palestine at 'the
Hebrew University, and at the University
of London. She holds the distinction
of being the only woman of Yemenite
extraction to' be graduated from a Bri-
tish university.
At the close
of 1947, Miss
Zabari was in
chargeof Jew-
ish. Medical
units which
cared for the
wounded in
the defense of
Jerusalem. A
year later,
when the Jew-
ish section of
Jerusalem was
Mrs. Bernard' Osnos severed from
the Arab-held
OM City, she sent her young nurses dis-
gui,sed as old women in, flabby clothing
through the Arab lines to ;tend the needs
of 'ailing Jewish soldiers trapped within
the walls of the ancient town. Under her
direction, house-to-housei•canvasses were
undertaken tb collect ;sheets and nap-

kins for sorely needed 'bandages. With
the creation of the ,S4te of, Israel, she
played an active role. in: shaping Chen,
the Women's huxiliary of the Israel
Army. _ _

DOROTHY SARNOFF

Star of 'The King and
Scores Success in Revue

Dorothy Sarnoff; versatile singing ac-
tress who recently won wide acclaim as
the star of the Broadway production of
"The King. and I," displayed her troop-
er's capability of presenting' an equally-
successful performance as the feature
attraction of the • Detroit Women's Di-
vision "R,Ound the O_oek" Fashion Revue,
October 6.
From the morning brunch in her honor
thrOugh the finale of the third act of
the fashion show, Miss Sarnoff showed
her direct contact and control of the
audience. During a question-and-answer
period following the brunch, she ex-
plained her feelings about theatrical
life, and of her many appearances for
worthy causes. Not caring to choose
between musical comedy and opera as
her favorite roles, she said they were all
so much "dessert" in satisfying her' ap-
petite for the theatre.

lowing the aptly-titled third act, "Spark-
ling Burgundy," Miss Sarnoff offered a

she made several curtain calls with a
selection of popular numbers. Her ac-
companist was the capable pianist Her- ,
