Accept Deficit Budget Skulnik Turns 'Law and Mr. Simon' Miss Imber to Wed
for Miami Federation into Slap-Happy, Top Comedy Play

MIMIA (JTA) — The board
of governors of the Greater
Miami Jewish Federation dis-
closed that it had accepted a
total budget of $847,998 for
operation of its local agencies
in 1959-60. The budget involves
a deficit of $83,720 for the
year.
The deficit was described as
resulting from failure of the
United Fund, which aids three
of the Federation agencies, to
meet its quota, and an increase
in $85,000 to the United Jewish
Appeal from the Federation's
own campaign. the United
Fund was to have met $325,000
of the $847,998 budget of three
Federation agencies, but its al-
location fell short by about
$60,000.'
The decision to accept the
budget figures, despite the defi-
cit, was taken because of "ex-
panding c o m m u n i t y need."
Board officials warned that
deficit allocations cannot con-
tinue.

Much of the world's marine
traffic passes within sight of
Miami Beach. From the shore
may be seen ships from the At-
lantic coast and northern Eur-
ope that are - bound for the
Panama Canal or for Gulf ports.
They form an almost constant
parade of shipping.

Menasha Skulnik and "The
Law and Mr. Simon" paused
this week at Northland Play-
house, ostensibly on their way
to open on Broadway.
In this slap-happy combina-
tion. both the ageless comedian
and the new vehicle by Julie
Berns came off exceedingly
well before an appreciative
opening night audience at the
Playhouse on Tuesday night.
The Berns-Skulnik tandem,
which previously produced a
hit with "Uncle Willie" a few
seasons back, offers some real
fun and some top comedy situa-
tions in "The Law and Mr.
Simon," in which Skulnik again
has some wonderful morsels
into which he can sink his
teeth.
Playing the mild-mannered,
loveable Mr. Simon, Skulnik
assumes the role of a book-
binder, who would much rather
read books than bind them. In
fact, sending his youngest
daughter through law school
has turned him into a frustrated
lawyer, who defends himself
in an imaginary divorce case
against his wife—a humorous
soliloquy which best shows off
Menasha's talents.
In a set of mixed up circum-
stances, Skulnik seeks to keep

his grandson home from camp;
bids to wrest the presidency
of the family club from rich
cousin Louis Simon; accuses
his wife of being in love with
cousin Louis and almost botches
up a romance between his old-
est daughter and her boy-
friend.
The result is a riotous eve-
ning of entertainment, even
though the many-faceted plot
is often contrived and some-
times drags.
While the play will be en-
joyed by all audiences, there is
little doubt that the Jewish
audience will best appreciate
many of the subtleties — in-
cluding the problems with the
family club and the arguments
for and against sending seven-
year-old Sonny to summer
camp.
The play has the same appeal,
even in English, that Skulnik
gave for so many years in his
performances on the Yiddish
stage.
In his customary appearance
after the final curtain, Skulnik
told the audience that it was in
Detroit—at the old Littman's
People's Theater—that he got
his real start in show business,
a fact that makes playing De-
troit "always a wonderful expe-
rience."
Opposite Skulnik was his real-
life wife, Anna Roman, as Mrs.
Simon. Others in the cast, all
of whom performed well, were
Mannie Sloane, as' the grand-
son; Zel DeCyr and Lenore
Loveman as the daughters; Guy
Repp as cousin Louis; and Mar-
lene Matthews, Robert Heller,
Frank Baxter and Robert Sher-
wood.
"The Law and Mr. Simon"
continues at Northland Play-
house through Sunday.

Jewish School Drop
Shows Population Shift
in Greater Miami

MIAMI, (JTA)—Registration
in Jewish schools in Dade Coun-
ty, which includes Greater Mi-
ami, failed in 1959, for the first
time in 18 years, to show an
increase over the previous
year, according to the Bureau
of Jewish Education.
Registration this year totalled
8,086 as against 8,557 in 1957-58,
a decrease of 471. It was noted
that while registration in Sun-
day schools fell off from 4,597
to 4,021, registration in the af-
ternoon schools increased from
3,960 to 4,021. In the past, the
annual increase in the Jewish
schools of Greater Miami was
from 1,000 to 1,500 students.
A decrease in registration was
reported by 17 schools and an
increase by ten others. The de-
crease in schools which former
ly had reported the largest in-
creases each year was taken to
indicate that population shifts
were partly responsible and
that opening of new schools in
the suburban districts would
see the registration rate rising
again.
The Jewish child population
of the area is estimated at 11,-
000, which would indicate that
about 73 percent was receiving
some form of Jewish education
this year. It was estimated that
the "hard core" of children re-
ceiving no form of Jewish edu-
cation had increased from about
800 in 1958 to about 1,400 this
year.
