LISTENING

LUTHER ADLER'S appear-
ance in "Tithe of the' Cuckoo"
at 'Northliand Playhouse, pro-
vided reason why he is con-
sidered among the top thespians
both in movies and the stage,
with another truly outstanding
performance to add to his huge
list of many.
While in Detroit, he stayed
at the home of Harold and
Loree Marks . • . Loree, who is
the "White CanIellia" on tele-
vision,. was also in "Time of the
Cuckoo," playing a dramatic
role in which she exhults with
the poise and presentation of a
many-times more seasoned ac-
tress . . . motivated, she admits,
by playing alongside someone
so great as Adler, who certainly
has the many years of experi-
ence to promote whatever act-
ing ability others in a show
with him may have.
ADLER'S BACKGROUND
started. with the Yiddish the-
ater which is still his great
love, if but for memory pur-
poses only . . . He was just
three-and-a-half years old when
his career was launched, ap-
pearing with Sigmund Moge-
lescu . . . By the time he was
20, Adler found himself return-
ing from a tour of Africa with
an English-speaking company
. . . His object was to revive the
Yiddish stage as he knew it
when he was a child . . . But
it was too late, he remarked
. . . Assimilation had already
taken its toll • . . His parents,
Jacob P .and Sarah, were the
prince and princess of the Yid-
dish stage in the late Teens and
early Twenties . . . The Yiddish
stage was the only center of
worthwhile dramatic activity
then in America, he says, ex-
cept for a few Shakespeare
companies which dotted an
otherwise bleak horizon of sen-
timentalism . . . Dominating the
scene were David Kessler, Ru-
dolph Shildkraut, the elder,
Boris Tomashevsky and Bertha
Kalish . . . Adler mentioned
with modesty but firm convic-
tion the role played by his own
parents . . . Together with the
world renowned comic Sigmund
Mogelescu and dramatist Jacob
Gordon, these formed the pha-
lanx of Yiddish activity in the
theater. . . In the face of a
"perils of Pauline" repertoire
on the English stage, they pro-
duced works by Tschekov,
Hauptmann, Gogol and Tot-
stay . . . Only the development
of the Theater Guild and the
Washington Square Players rose
to challenge their ascendency.
BY THE MIDDLE and late
Twenties, the Yiddish stage
found itself fighting against too
many erements not particularly
germaine to its dramatic prob-
lems but which virtually served
it a death blow ... The .drastic
decrease in immigration caused
a decline in audience interest,
Adler said, and talented actors
and writers sought the golden
calf — Hollywood, for example.
* * *
OF ZIONISM AND ISRAEL,
Adler speaks with conviction
and a strange' energy . . . The
movement was in a constant
state of ebullition about him
even as a child, for the home
of his parents was a center of
Zionist activity . . He makes
no excuse about having been a
dissident when he finally be-
came genuinely interested in
the idea of a Jewish state .. .
"The English refused to speak
with me," Adler observed, smil-
ing, "So did the French and the
Americans." . . . At that time,
the Irgun Zvai Leumi sounded
a note of importance on the

Emphasizing that the organiza-

ture of sadness, concern and
amusement about those who
warned him away when his
sympathies in this regard be-
came apparent through his col-
laboration with the American`
novelist and playwright Ben

continued in this collaboration

. . . Outstanding among them
was Hecht's "A Flag is Born,"
which Adler directed and pro-
duced and in which he finally
starred when Paul Muni found
. it necessary to leave the com-
pany . . It was not a happy
time, Adler observed, for ideal-
ism was tempered by terror,
with the tragic assassinatign of
Lord Moyne and the bombing
of the King David Hotel .

JEWISH NEWS—Friday, August 17, 1956

TEL AVIV, (JTA) — Israel
Chief Rabbis Isaac Herzog and
Yitzhak .Nissim appealed for
unity of all religious parties in
Israel at the . opening session of
the national convention of the
Poale Agudas Israel, Orthodox
labor organization.
Rabbi Herzog stressed his de-
sire to see at least the religious
workers parties unified.
The theme of unity was also
underlined by Benjamin Mintz,
chairman of the Poale Agudah
world executive, who specific-
ally called on the Agudas Israel
leadership to cooperate' with
the Orthodox workers move-
ment. He pointed out that both
Agudah parties have common
aims in education of the youth
and cultural and religious ac-
tivities.
Summing up the Agudah lab-
orite-s' accomplishments, Mintz
said that the movement spon-
sored ,15 settlements, in which
5,000 Jews lived and that four
Of these settlements were in the
"dangerous border areas."
He reported that 1,000 chil-
dren were enrolled in Poale
Agudah schools and urged the
Jewish Agency to give the move-
ment the means with which to
educate hundreds of thousands
more children of Orthodox fam-
ilies. He said that the movement
had built 1,000 new housing
units in the last few years, and
was working on 200 more.
