Mrs. Abraham Cooper Serves as Chairman of `Overture to Opera' • On Jan. 21, Knopf will pub- lish "Eighty - Seven Days," an epic novel of the Russian Civil War, by the late Andrew Angarsky. Told from the viewpoint of the Whites, "Eighty - Seven Days" opens in the spring of 1918 with a group of ex-Czarist officers and noblemen in Mos- cow plotting the overthrow of the Red regime. As the conspir- acy spreads, the novel gradually expands to include a vast num- ber of characters, historical and fictional, drawn from all levels of the chaotic Russian society. Angarsky wrote "Eighty-Seven Days" in English after spending years of research for material to supplement his own experi- ences in Russia. Copr. 1962, Doyen .Productions Arils 401m, By NATHAN ZIPRIN Israel's cinema-going proclivi- ties are remarkable. Whether addiction to that form of enter- tainment is due to lack of TV in the land or to the showing of generally superior films is of course a moot question. Accord- ing to recent statistics, some 32,500,000 cinema tickets were sold in 1961. This would mean that every resident of Israel from the age of 15 and over went to the movies at least 27 times during the year—an ex- tremely high percentage as compared with more highly- developed countries. In 1961 there were 266 cinema theaters in the land, 170 of them located in the larger cities. In Israel as elsewhere in the world women must cope with the fact that they are outnum- bered by men. But that head- ache for our feminine friends in Israel is not quite bad, that is if a ratio of 1,000 men to 1030 women can be overcome. In Haifa the balance is almost equal, but not quite equal in the rest of the larger cities. The kibbutzim however tell another story. There the ratio is 1129 to 1000 and in the new- est communal settlements it is even higher-1,212 to 1,000. Another significant statis- tical disclosure is the drop in the Jewish birthrate in Israel as compared with Arabs and Christians. This situation is reflected in the fact that while the average Jewish family counts four members, the non-Jews have six. Another interesting disclosure is the fact that 38% of the Jewish residents are native- born and that of the foreign- born some 43% are Oriental Jews from a number of lands in Asia and Africa. The Sephar- dic Jews constitute almost 50% of the total Jewish population in Israel. Jerusalem tops the list with the greatest percentage of native-born Jews—some 52 per cent. In the new cities and developments it is only 29 per cent. The latest statistics limn a picture of an aging Jewish pop-. ulation with Jews showing a higher age ratio than non-Jews. In 1960, Jews up to the age of 14 constituted 35% of the total, while • Arabs and Christians showed a percentage of 46 in that significant bracket. Be- tween the ages of 15 and 19 the Jewish ratio was 7.1% as against 11% among non-Jews. Between the ages of 19 and 29 the Jewish ratio was less than 14% as against 15% among the rest of the population. In the 30 to 44 age bracket, the Jewish ratio was 19% as compared with 13% by the other groups. A significant figure was the disclosure that the Jewish ratio in the 46 to 64 bracket was only one half of a percentage point higher than for the rest of the population-5 per cent to 4.1 per cent. That discrep- ancy means that Israel through its modern medical and health care facilities has brought the health and survival level of its Arabs to a point of equality almost with Jews.
