A former Detroiter who has
placed high on the list of Hol-
lywood's successful movie pro-
ducers was visiting in Detroit,
recently with his father and
sister. The film executive was
Herman Cohen, who rose to
his position from his first as-
sociation with movies, • as an
usher in the Dexter Theater
here.
While here, Cohen was the
house guest of his father, Meyer
Cohen, and his sister, Mrs. Wil-
liam Banks. Mrs. Banks is the
wife of the mailing director
for The Jewish News. .
Cohen is known as the origi-
nator of the new teenage horror
movie fad in movie production.
It was he who made "I Was a
Teenage Werewolf," which cost
$150,000 but grossed $2 milliOn
since its release in -July. He has
just released "I Was a Teen-
age Frankenstein" and "BloOd
of Dracula" in 75 Texas
theaters.
To an audience of 900 Uni-
versity of Texas students of
theater arts, drama, public re-
lations and journalism, whom
he recently addressed on why
"he neglected intelligent audi-
ences," Cohen replied that he
merely caters to public taste.
He asked the audience how
many of them had seen recent
films like "The Great Man," a
high-quality spoof of a national
• • radio hero. Few raised hands.
He then queried how many had
. seen "I Was a Teenage Were-
-wolf." More than three-quarters
of the audience motioned af-
firmatively. The sheepish audi-
ence burst out laughing.
Cohen's production of teen-
age horror films have such audi-
ence appeal because the public
seems to prefer two types of
movies—teenage stories and
horror tales, Cohen said. He
decided to include the winning
combination in his new films.
With. his profits, Cohen some-
day intends to produce a higher
calibre picture which_ would at-
tract "intelligent audiences."
Meanwhile, he has signed
Esther Williams for his forth-
coming production of "Scorpion
Reef." The film will enter shoot-
ing this February on Florida

Letter Box

Regrets Discontinuance of
Music Parade Radio Hour
Editor, The Jewish News:
I am sorry to hear that the
Hudson's Minute Parade pro-
gram will be discontinued.
It was the only program of
classical and serious music
daily, and I know that I am
expressing the view point of
many musicians and music lov-
ers when I state that we will
miss it very much.
Miss Elizabeth Wayne gave
always such interesting and in-
formative introductions to the
music, that it was really most
enjoyable to listen to it.
Her awareness- of holiday
celebrations and national anni-
versaries of various countries,
including the Jewish holidays
and the Israeli Independence
Day, made her program out-
standing.
I am speaking for many
people who are hoping that J.
L. Hudson company will recon-
sider their decision, and will
let us continue to enjoy the
Minute Parade and Miss Wayne's
presentation.
Sincerely yours,
Marguerite Kozenn Chajes

U.S. JNF Independent
of Merger in Israel

Dr. Harris J. Levine, presi-
dent of the Jewish National
Fund of America, commenting
on the merger of the JNF and
the Keren Hayesod Committees
in Israel, said it was a strictly
local administrative act, in no
way affecting the autonomy and
the complete independence
which the JNF of America has
enjoyed in the course of half a
century of its • existence. ,

UNFINISHED BUSINESS

Before we celebrate Israel's 10th anniversary, before we cheer the
heroic people of Israel, remember that Israel's economy must be strength-
ened to meet the crisis in the Middle East.

Before we congratulate ourselves because Israel has taken in almost
1,000,000 Jews and built up cities and towns to house them, remember that
100,000 newcomers must be received this year, and new settlements cre-
ated for them in the Galilee, the coastal plain, the Lachish area and Elath.

Before we take pride in Israel's remarkable economic development, re-
member that further industrial and agricultural expansion is essential.

You can help to take care of this UNFINISHED BUSINESS by buying
Israel Bonds on BIG Day (Bonds of the Israel Government Day).

Bonds for the economic strength they need to keep their country secure,
