Arab Movies in
Israeli Theaters
By ELIAHU SALPETER
(Copyright, 1958, JTA, Inc.)
JERUSALEM. — Hardly a
week passes in Israel without at
least one Arab picture having
its first showing in one of the
numerous movie houses. Their
main audience is not the Arab
minority, which comprises about
10 per cent of Israel's popula-
tion, but in its majority lives in
Israel. Arab pictures play to full
houses of immigrants from Mid-
dle Eastern and North African
countries, whose mother tongue
is Arabic.
There a r e t w o channels
through which Arab pictures
reach Israel. One is in form of
regular imports, from France;
the other—by special arrange-
ment — from E gyp t. From
France come pictures manufac-
tured in North Africa. From
Egypt come movies of what is
the world's fifth largest film in-
dustry by the number of pic-
tures produced. Egyptian movies
are brought to Israel by new
immigrants from Arab coun-
tries, who buy the films before
leaving and bring them to Israel
as one of the few ways in which
they can transfer some of their
property.
"Lhen en Khelood" — "The
Unforgettable Melody" in Eng-
lish—starring Farid El Attrash,
the Frank Sinatra of Arab mov-
iedom. was heralded in the ads
as "One of the Masterpieces of
the Arab Screen."
The
payments,
which become
a loan to the student's
parents, guardian or sponsor,
are repaid in installments over a
period of up to 6 years. So by budgeting the
cost of the education over a longer period
of time, you never face a large cash outlay
and the plan enables you to guarantee
completion of the college program.
