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." Friday, December 2, 1966-23 SUNDAY ONLY! Silk & "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."
