Samuel Yellen, a Clevelander
who is now professor of English
at Indiana University, has made
good use of his knowledge of the
city of Cleveland in describing
the setting for his splendidly-
written novel, "The Wedding
Band," a new and impressive
work issued by Atheneum Pub-
lishers (162 E. 38th, N.Y. 16).
It is a story of an intermar-
riage, of a rough and ready and
an attractive Jewish immigrant
who married a non-Jewess three
years his senior.
The story is told in the third
person by a daughter of the cou-
ple, Alexandra, the spinster of
the family who became a college
professor and who was the only
one in the group sympathetic to
the Jewish background.
It is a story of a struggle—of
a poor match, of a wife who fell
in love with an imaginary rival
of her husband and who was
swindled by the "lover."
The Yiddish expressions in the
book are earthy and very descrip-
tive, and in a sense they are not
only basic to the story but give
it a lot of power. But they raise
a question: who but Yiddish-
speaking Jews will understand
the expressions?
Nevertheless, there is so, much
power in this short novel that it
must be -recognized as an out-
standing example of the narra-
tive art.
While students • of intermar-
riage may view the story and - its
lessong as merely incidental to
the issue of mixed marriages,
"The Wedding Band"—it was the
only memento retained 'by Al-
exandra from her mother's pos-
sions—indicates the difficul-
ti that arise from the mixing
of ligions in marriage.
e memories that are related
by exandra develop into a fine
p , and "The Wedding -Band"
1 be loved by those who ap-
recia.te-good writing.

It's only the new electronic

THE BALMY SPRING weath-
er of last week brought a bit of
the "fever" to insurance man
Dave Weisberg as he started
thinking about his woods and
irons and of an incident that
happened last spring . . . Being
a dyed-in-the-wool, golfer, Dave
usually doesn't let the weather
stand in his way when he wants
to get out on those fairways
. . . but one Sunday last year
was a little too much . . . A
fellow golfer, even more avid
than Dive, if that's possible,
rang his door bell on Harding
in Oak Park, around the wee
hours of the morn and asked
him to join a foursome going
out to the Maple Lanes Golf
Club . . . A bit bleary-eyed,
Dave awakened very quickly as
he made a double-take while
glancing at the weather out-
side, and at his friend holding
an umbrella over his head .. .
Dave exclaimed, "You must
be kidding! Where are you
going to get a tee long enough
to keep the ball out of the
mud? Why weren't you here
last Sunday when it was so
beautiful out?" • . . As the
rains came down in a thun-
derous barrage, the fellow re-
plied, "What are you, a golfer
or a sunbather!" . . • (P.S. Dave
went anyway, while wife, Syl-
via, sponged the water out of
the foyer!)
DID YOU KNOW that local
Printer and outstanding com-
munity-ite Lou Markowitz at
one time was considered among
the finest boxers in the coun-
try? . . . In 1931, "Markey"
had a record of 67 wins out
of 68 bouts on the west coast
. . . and that one loss took
place when he substituted for
his good friend, the great Harry
Greb . . . Lou doesn't talk too
much about his boxing days or
as a fight promoter later, but
he does like to tell of incidents
like the time he took Jack-,
Dempsey out to the San Diego
Marine Base to watch a young
kid fight . . . the boy was
fighting the champion of the
sailor division . . . When the
bout was over and Lou's marine
had won, Jack told Lou the boy
was one of the finest fighters
he had ever watched . .. That
marine today is our own Al
Shapiro, superintendent of the
Detroit House of Correction.
