Buffalo Alumni Cheer
Team in WSU Tilt
Israel's most popular actress,
the beautiful Haya Harareet,
was here for a brief stay this
week, as part of her tour of
more than 35 American cities
where she is conferring with
theater managers who are plan-
ning to show the spectacular
MGM film, "Ben-Hur," in which
she stars as Esther, opposite
Charlton Heston. The $15,000,-
000 "Ben-Hur," screen version
will have its Michigan premiere
at the United Artists Theater
here Feb. 16.
Miss Harareet showed a
thorough knowledge of ancient
history and of the background
of the Ben-Hur story. Written
by the Civil War hero, General
Lew Wallace, more than 80
years ago, the story is fictional.
It revolves around Christ, and
the characters, all Jews, are
depicted as revolting against
Roman rule in Judaea.
Miss 'Harareet is certain that
the story, while it deals . with
Christ, will be
viewed strict-
ly from its
historical per-
spective a n d
could not pos-
sibly be con-
sidered as of-
fensive to
those of a
faith other
,= than Chris-
tianity.
Harareet
Miss Harareet will be remem-
bered as the heroine in the
first full-length movie made in
Israel, "Hill 24 Does Not
Answer." A native of Israel,
"she speaks English fluently.
She fought in Israel's War of
Liberation. Her parents live in
Haifa where her father is a
government employee.
William Wyler, Hollywood
director, and Sam Zilbalist,
producer, are enthusiastic about
Miss Harareet's role and her
future parts in films planned
by MGM, which has given her
a three year contract.
Haya Harareet (her name
means "mountain animal") was
born Haya Nueberg in Haifa.
Her father; Reuben Nueberg,
and her mother, Yocheved, had
emigrated to Palestine from
Poland when both were in their
teens.
Upon her graduation from
high school at the age of 16,
Haya entered her country's
armed forces. Assigned to the
Marines, she went through a
rigorous basic training period
but was later made a member

with the astonishing ability to
shrink hemorhoids and to relieve
pain—without surgery. In case after
case, while gently relieving pain,
actual reduction (shrinkage) took
place. Most amazing of all—results
were so thorough that sufferers
made astonishing statements like
"Piles have ceased to be a problem!"

plays.
Shortly before she was mus-
tered out of uniform, she was
seen in a play by the director
of Tel-Aviv's Chamber Theater.
For. the next three years she
devoted herself to the. theater.
It was during this period that
British film director, Thorold
Dickinson, impressed by Miss
Harareet's work, signed her for
the lead in. the first feature-
length film ever made in Is-
rael. The picture, "Hill 24 Does
Not Answer," attracted atten-
tion in Europe, was shown at
festivals in Cannes, Venice and
Berlin, and won the actress a
special award at Cannes. It was
also exhibited with success at
art houses in the United States,
including Detroit.
Prof. Moshe H. Gottstein, of
the Institute of Jewish Studies
of the Hebrew University in
Jerusalem, who served as tech-
nical adviser for the film, wrote
to Wyler:
"Ever since those months
during which I served as tech-
nical adviser and researcher on
the 'Ben Hur' set in Rome, my
thoughts have frequently turned
