Marlene Dietrich
Received by Shazars

'Enemy of the Peop le' Timeless Theme

Mrs. Zalman Shazar received the
American film actress Marlene
Dietrich, who is currently visiting
Israel. Miss Die-
trich, who was
born in Germany
but has been an
American citizen
for 30 years, later
visited the Yad
Vashem M e m o-
rial, where she lit
a candle in mem-
ory of the vic-
tims of the Nazi
holocaust.
The film star,
who visited Israel Miss Dietrich
once before, said Tuesday that she
returned because of her "strong
attraction" for the Jewish people
and admiration for Israel. She was
warmly received by Israeli audi-
ences during her appearances
here, and she also gave benefit
performances for the Israeli
armed forces.

The line sounds familiar, doesn't
it? Although the action of Henrik
Ibsen's play takes place in a
coastal town in southern Norway
46 years ago, it could be, say, De-
troit 1966. Such is the universality
of Ibsen's theme about one man's
fight for truth despite "public
opinion." The drama is appearing
at the Jewish Center through this
weekend.
Directed by Center Theater's new
managing director, Robert McKee,
the production draws some polite
coughs until the second act. There-
after, it gains momentum, rolls to
a dramatic climax and, sadly,
peters out at the end. There are
some acting highlights, however,
and the play is worth seeing if for
no other reason than the drama is
an Ibsen classic and the adaptation
is Arthur Miller at his best.
Gerald Harrington plays Dr.
Thomas Stockmann, a scientist
who discovers that his town's
money-making mineral springs
are polluted and then is ostra-
cized for his discovery as "an
enemy of the people." Harring-
ton is a little too gleeful about his
findings, but is otherwise con-
vincing. As Stockmann's wife
and daughter — almost his sole
support against the town's
wrath—Rita Kogan and Jeanne
Fox are adequate.
David Hirvela, the hero's

"There's so much. injustice in
this world. You have to learn to
(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)
live with it"—Catherine Stockmann
JERUSALEM — President and in "An Enemy of the People."

He Rejected Columbus
Joseph Vecinho, a 15th century
Portuguese-Jewish physician and a
leading cosmographer of his time,
was one of the advisers responsible
for the rejection in 1485 by King
John II of Portugal of Columbus'
proposed voyage of discovery
across the western seas.

`The Oscar' at Michigan

Joseph E. Levine's "The Oscar,"
a dramatic, turbulent story of ac-
tors and actresses competing for
the screen world's most coveted
award, goes into its second
week at the Michigan Theater.
Filmed in color, "The Oscar" stars
Stephen Boyd, Elke Sommer, Mil-
ton Berle, Eleanor Parker, Joseph
Cotten, Jill St. John, Tony Ben-
nett—who makes his motion pic-
ture debut — Edie Adams and
Ernest Borgnine. Selected short
subjects complete the Michigan's
program.
"The Oscar" traces the career of
Frankie Fane, portrayed by Step-
hen Boyd, from his climb out of
anonymity on to the uneasy aisle
seat of an Oscar nominee on Oscar
night. Frankie is a ruthless and
ambitious star who will stop at
nothing to get the much sought
after award, including hurting the
people closest to him—his good-
hearted agent (Berle); his loyal
friend (Bennett), a beautiful drama
coach, played by Miss Parker and
Elke Sommer as the one woman
who doesn't succumb to his charms
and who Frankie insists upon hav-
ing.

brother and mayor of the town, is
excellent right down to the villain-
ous curling lip, while Rollon Park-
er, Stockmann's two-timing father-
in-law, puts in his best perform-
ance yet in a long series of Center
Theater roles. Also worthy of men-
tion is Donald McKenzie, erstwhile
civic leader and middle-of-the-
roader, who prefers the stuffy
word "moderation" to the more ac-
curate "cowardice."
Novice Gene Rosenberg, in his
second stage appearance, puts in
his second gem of a performance.
It's time he graduated from cameo
comedy roles to a larger chunk of
the play. —C.H.

`Best Director' Award
William Wyler, currently repre-
sented on the screen with "The
Collector," at the same Directors
Guild Awards banquet, was
selected as the recipient of the
D. W. Griffith plaque, while the
guild's president George Sidney
announced Robert Wise as winner
of the coveted "Best Director"
award for "The Sound of Music."
Other nominees were Sidney Lu-
met ("The Pawnbroker"), John
Schlesinger ("Darling"), Elliot Sil-
verstein ("Cat Ballou"), and Sid-
ney Furie ("The Iperess File").

LISTENING

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Many
thanks to all who have sent cards
to us during our stay at University
Hospital in Ann Arbor. . . . Hope
to be out soon. . . . The nursing
staff is wonderful and the derma-
tology department under Dr.
Curtis and Dr. Harrell is among
the finest in the country.
THERE IS NO rabbi at Univer-
sity Hospital, although Malcolm B.
Ballinger, hospital chaplain, has
put out a pamphlet with selected
prayers for Jewish patients. . . .
Rabbi Harold S. White of Beth
Israel Community Center serves
the Ann Arbor Jewish community
and is on call for spiritual guid-
ance.
NOTE TO . . . Bill Kennedy,
Channel 9. . . . Thanks for the
mentions over the TV waves, about
our being in the hospital, but
where did the one about minor
surgery come from? . . . Unless
you meant that our work as an ad-
vertising and public relations
counsel has been cut off!
NEIL KALTER, here at Univer-
sity Hospital, has hit upon a new
way to cut down on smoking—with
a deck of cards. . .. In a notebook
he has entered such items as "Four
of hearts — ten cigarettes a day.
Ten of clubs—no smoking before
lunch. Jack of diamonds — one
cigarette after each meal. Queen of
spades—as much smoking as you
like." and so on through the pack.
. . . Every morning he picks a card
and lets it decide his ration for
the day. . . . "I get a kick out of
looking forward to drawing a good
card," he says. "And if I don't,
there's always tomorrow." . . . He
has cut his smoking by 50 cigar-
ettes a week . . . Neil is the son of
fine ad man Dan Kalter.
OVERHEARD. . • by unhappy
patient couple of doors away, to
his doctor. . . . "I certainly hope
I'm sick..I'd .sure. hate. to feel like
this if I'm well."
HERE IN ANN ARBOR, they
tell of a policeman stopping an
offending vehicle and explaining
to the indignant matron behind the
wheel that she had wandered over
the double line three times, ig-
nored a stop sign and executed an
illegal turn. . . . As he wrote the
ticket, the woman protested bit-
terly, "The trouble with you police-
men is you spend all your time
picking on respectable citizens.
Why don't you catch some of those
drunk drivers for a change." . . .
"Madam," was the soft reply, "I
thought I had one."
SID GRAY was talking to a
Frenchman who was vacationing in
Miami Beach. . . . "You Ameri-
cans," he said. "You are really
crazee! You see a beautiful woman.
You whistle. Why you give them
warning?"
LOCAL TV ANNOUNCER doing
work for us, concentrates on his
morning paper at the breakfast
table and rarely has a kind word
for his little woman . . . Imagine
his surprise one morning when he
looked up from his paper to see
his wife sitting across from him
and holding up a cue card which
read, "Good morning, my darling
wife. My, don't you look lovely
this morning."
FAYE MACKIE brings us this
cutie from the Oak Park library.
.. . A small boy, paying a 2-cent
fine for an overdue book, looked
thoughtfully at the librarian and
asked, "Can you make a living out
of this?"
