How Miss Pickford Atoned for a Slur to Jewish Friend

The famously-popular Mary
Pickford once committed an
error. She had hurt a dear Jew-
ish friend with a thoughtless
remark about Jews, and later
set out to atone for it by devot-
ing her energies and her whole-
hearted interest to the Jewish
Home for the Aged in Los
Angeles. - The story is told in
Mary Pickford's autobiography,
"Sunshine and Shadow," to be

Best Holiday Wishes to Our
Friends and Patrons

published this week by Double-
day (575 Madison, NY22).
After a full review of her in-
teresting career, towards the end
of the book, Miss Pickford tells
of the "intolerant remark" to
two Jewish friends in Beverly
Hills. One of them was Carmel
Myers, "an actress, beautiful,
talented, and of rare intelligence
and character," whose birthday
is on the same day as Miss Pick-

ford's. The discussion was about
Hitler and his savage treatment
of the Jews, and Miss Pickford
reports that "unthinking fool
that I was, I tried to explain it
as a situation that the Jews had
partly brought on themselves."
Miss Meyers, deeply hurt,
merely reminded her that "be-
fore we all Jewish or gentile, we
are all human beings."
Remorseful, Miss Pickford took
