Meyer Levin Sees Anne Frank Play Succeed in Israel
TEL AVIV — Meyer Levin has
won a 14-year battle to have his
version of the diary of Anne Frank
presented on stage, with its per-
formance in Tel Aviv by the new
Soldiers' Theater.
The dramatization, rejected 14
years ago by Broadway producers,
was found by Israeli critics to be
less theatrical but more honest
than the Pulitzer Prize-winning
play that was staged on Broad-
way in 1955. That play was writ-
ten by Frances and Albert Hac-
kett.
Israel critics said Levin's play
was more faithful to the diary and
dramatized ideas of deeper Jew-
ish significance omitted from the
Broadway production.
Levin, author of many novels,
wrote the first draft of his play in
1952 and had authorization from
Anne Frank's father two years be-
fore an American publisher could
be found for the book, "The Diary
of a Young Girl."
When the Broadway produc-
ers contracted by Frank re-
jected Levin's play, he sued
them in the New York Supreme
Court. Although his suit for
breach of contract was dis-
missed, he won damages be-

thus kill our own friends." He
