Bess Myerson Has a Secret

By FRED A. STERN
(A Seven Arts Feature)
Anywhere between 40- and 80,000,-
000 people a week see Bess Myer-
son on the several television shows
in which she appears. She is best
known as one of the permanent
panelists of "I've Got a Secret."
She is one of the experts at ferret-
ing out the secrets of others, but
she has her own secret too.
Maybe you can
guess it. Here
are a few hints
that may help
you:
She will play a
central part in
the Hanuka fes-
tival of Israel
Bonds at Madison
Square Garden.
She is chai r-
man of the Wom-
en's Division of
Israel Bonds in
New York.
She has made
three trips to Is-
rael and has a wz,
deep interest in •
the country.
Bess Myerson
The roots go back to her child-
hood. She was reared in a good
Jewish home. Bess Myerson is her
real name, not just her stage
name. She amusingly recalls that
once, speaking before a youth
group in the Middle West, she was
asked why she has chosen the stage
name of Bess Myerson.
Jewish thinkers and writers were
respected in her home and talked
about. Jewish newspapers came
into her home and she learned to
read and speak Yiddish. She was
sent to one of the Sholom Aleichem
schools to help her perfect her
Yiddish and knowledge of Jewish
life.
There were three Myerson girls.
Her two sisters are in the educa-
tional field. She studied the piano
but when someone entered her
name in the beauty contest at At-
lantic City and Bess emerged as
Miss America, she found herself
projected in the public eye. She
was something of a phenomenon.
Beauty with brains. No one expects
Miss America to be able to quote
Shakespeare or even to know that
he existed. When there is a fusion
of beauty with brains, history is
due for an explosion. If Cleopatra's
nose had been a little longer,
Pascal wrote, the course of history
would have been changed. The
Megilla tells the story of how a
beauty contest winner of ancient
times, Esther, saved her people
from the sinister designs of the
anti-Semite.
Miss Myerson was greatly inter-
ested in the establishment of the
State of Israel, but when she made
her first visit, she expected it only
to be routine. She planned a ten
day visit. But after ten days, she
couldn't let go. She stayed for two
months.
On one of her visits, she took her
daughter, Barbara, now at Bryn
Mawr. There was a special reason
for this. Both her daughter and the
new state of Israel were born in
the same year and when Israel
celebrated her 13th anniversary
she wanted her daughter and
Israel to celebrate the Bat Mitzva
together. Her daughter too is very
fond of Israel.
"I guess," Miss Myerson said,
"I have seen Israel from one end
to the other."

"From Dan to Beersheba," we
said.
"No," she corrected, "you know
the border today is not Beersheba
but further down in the Negev,
Eilat. You know," she went on, "I
spent quite a bit of time at Eilat.
One day we arose there at four in
the morning to go on a kind of
scouting expedition of the desert."
Miss Myerson has a profound re-
spect for Ben-Gurion. "There is an
aura about him that one feels when
you come into his presence."
When it was first proposed that
she become chairman of the New
York Women's Division of Israel
Bonds, she was reluctant, asking
time to think it over. She didn't
want to take the job, she said, un-
less she felt she could be really
effective at it.
She has been very effective. "It's
intriguing," she says. "The quotas
are generally increased every year,
but somehow we manage to attain
them!"
She enjoys too her part in the
annual Hanuka festival at Madi-
son Square Garden when leading
personalities of Hollywood, Broad-
way and the concert world raise
the torch of the Maccabees and
help sell Israel Bonds.
Miss My e r son is also on the
Executive Committee of the Anti-
Defamation League. "I guess,"
she says, "I am at least an honor-
ary member of about every Jewish
organization. I don't see how in the
world of today, anyone can remain
unaffiliated."
But despite the many irons in the
fire, she finds spare time for a
weekly French lesson, and she is
now busy preparing for another
visit to Israel.
Shortly after New Year, she
hopes to be calling out again to her
friends in Israel, "Shalom."
