week engagement at the Shu-
bert Theater, on Oct. 1.
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize

Quietly, often gaily, it re-
creates the day-by-day life of
these people, their problems,
their simple pleasures, their ir-
ritations and applehensions.

garden and directed by Garson
Kanin, "The Dairy of Anne
Frank" is filled with excite-
ment, humor and tenderness

eign countries. In Germany it
has - been produced in 37
theatres.

In Lighter Vein
By JACOB RICHMAN
The Curse of Popularity
A downtown synagogue in
New York employed a cantor,
whose residence was in Har-
lem. The precentor in question
never allowed the Rabbinic in-
junction against riding on Sat-
urdays and holidays to inter-
fere with his comfort. After
the services he would walk
seven or eight blocks north,
turn west to the Bowery, and
board a car bound uptown.
This spot he considered suffi-
ciently removed from his syna-
gogue to make the presence of
any of his t . t ts • b
able.
One "Yom Kippur" night,
after the services, the "chazan,"
as usual, walked the well-trod-
den path to make the clandes-
tine getaway. At the Bowery
and Delancey Street, after look-
ing furtively about to see if
anybody was watching, he
hailed a car, boarded it, and
took shelter in an inconspicu-
ous corner.
Due to the late hour and the
absence of Jewish patrons, the
car had been almost empty, and
the conductor could not have
failed to notice the entrance
of the new passenger. Yet, odd-
ly enough, he took no cogniz-
ance of him.
For fifteen minutes the fugi-
tive had been holding out the
fare, and seeing that the con-
' ductor paid no attention to
him, he decided to ask him the
reason.
"Why don't you collect my
fare?" finally inquired the soli-
tary Jewish passenger of the
uniformed man, as the latter
passed through the car.
"From my `chazan' I am not
going to collect any fares," re-
plied the transit employee, af-
fably. "No siree."
The long-suffering husband
rose from his chair, walked
over to the hysterical woman,
and administered a slap in
her face, which reverberated
through the house.
"Silence, shrew!" command-
ed the henpecked husband,
menacingly, "silence. As long
as you were cursing and abus-
ing me I did not mind. But
now that you are cursing my
wife, I tell you I am not going
to stand for that."

While the Baby's Mother Prayed
True Judaism is not lip-serv-
ice, but kindliness toward one's
fellow men. This axiom was
amply demonstrated by the
famous moral teacher known as
Rabbi Israel Salanter.
One Yom Kippur Eve, when
the Synagogue was packed with
worshippers ready to start the
Kol Nidrei prayer, it mres dis-
covered that the great rabbi
was missing. Forthwith the
"shamash" was dispatched to
Rabbi Israel's house to ascer-
tain the cause of his absence.
But he was not there, either.
So a posse of leading mem-
bers was formed, who set out
to scour the town in search of
the spiritual leader.
After a long and laborious
search, the sage was seen sit-
ting in a dim, ill-ventilated
shanty, rocking a baby, to the
tune of a liturgic melody.
This strange occupation for a
rabbi on Yom Kippur Eve, when
even the humblest of Israel were
assembled in the house of wor-
ship for prayer and repentance,
was a puzzle to his admiring
followers.
"Rabbi," they queried, in
amazement, "what are you do-
ing here?"
"On my way to 'shun'," ex-
plained the saint, "when I
