Israel's economic recession has, is even more gloomy than that of started and, to judge by the first Israel's Theaters weeks, it is going to be stormy weather on most fronts, beginning with the flops of the first shows and ending with the dispute with the ushers' union. Israel's theaters are about all repertory companies. That means that they have their permanent staff of actors as well as adminis- trative and technical personnel and -theoretically-this should enable them to cover deficits of one pro- duction from profits of another, more successful with the public. There are two or three non-reper- tory companies assembled by a producer for the staging of a spe- cific show, usually musical, such as "Fiddler on the Roof." Tickets to such shows are often twice as expensive as to those of the reper- tory theaters, yet-by and large- they have much better attendance. 0 S T OTTO SILVERS was given a high honor when recently asked to be the court clerk during the official robing of Court of Appeals Judge Charles Levin . . .

As a result, the finan- deficits for practically all groups. Russian Treatment of Tevya "Habimah," the oldest and most famous of Israel's repertory theaters, now carries the title "The National Theater." How- ever, it is generally agreed that the best group is the "Chamber Theater," usually presenting very good, and sometimes very ex- cellent, productions. "Ohel," the Histadrut•affiliated theater, is the weakest of the three major groups, all of which are based in Tel Aviv. However, every thea- ter, big and small alike, regular- ' ly travels practically each week not only to Jerusalem or Haifa but also often to smaller towns and even to major kibbutzim. view. He decided, it seems, to "do" Tevya, of all Sholem Aleichem's stories, because Tevya preaches (Copyright, 1966, JTA, Inc-) LONDON-The current issue of the Yiddish monthly in Moscow, Sovietish Heimland, carries an in- terview with the Soviet-Jewish film director, Leonid Trauberg, who is making a large-scale firm (epic, in the vernacular of Western film makers) of Sholem Aleichem's Tevya the Milkman. This in itself is interesting news. There was no film on a Jewish theme made in the Soviet Union since the days of Solomon Mikhoels way back in the Thirties. tolerance and good relations be- tween various groups of people and between individuals. The film would, therefore, be a contribution to the fight against anti-Semitism and Fascism - abroad, where it still prevails. In Western Germany, for example, where Jewish ceme- teries are often desecrated. To this end, Ivan Poperillo, a passing char- acter in the story, will be a major character in the film. Because, says Trauberg, Ivan Poperillo, the black- smith, and Tevya are good friends Toronto Court Upsets City Law Against Hate Speeches TORONTO (JTA)-Toronto's by- law against inciting racial hatred in city park speeches was ruled invalid Monday, when Magistrate Charles Opper acquitted William John Beattie, Canadian neo-Nazi, on a charge of using language likely to stir up hatred against Jews and Negroes. The magistrate said freedom of speech is a matter that can be legislated only by Parliament. In his 15-page judgment, Magis- trate Opper said his view was New shows usually run first in based on the Bill of Rights, passed Tel Aviv, with about half of the by Parliament in 1960, which spe- regular actors having roles in it. cifically provides for freedom of Meanwhile, performances of ear- speech and is intended to apply to lier shows, engaging the other half all persons in Canada. of the actors, are given in other "The idea of freedom of speech cities.

In Jerusalem the same night there were three different plays plus one concert, as Haifa's own repertory theater was presenting that night Shakespeare's "Richard The Third" (running for the second season) in Tel Aviv. The interesting thing about these theaters, indicating the possibilities inherent in most of them, is that even the best one can all of a sud- den present an unbelievably inept and dull production, while second raters sometimes produce first rate presentations. For example, the Chamber Theater's latest produc- tion, "The Dragon," by the Soviet- Jewish author Yevgeni Schwartz, is worse in all respects than what one would expect even from a neighborhood amateur troup. On the other hand, their production of Ibsen's "Hedda Gabler," carried over from last season, could hold its own on any of the best stages of Europe or America. Habima also started the season with a high-school quality produc- tion of Lessing's "Nathan The Wise." (The very choice of that 200-year-old, naive, didactic play .as a season opener is in itself so incredibly mistaken that it can hardly be attributed to people hav- ing the slightest contact with the theater-going public.) However, at the same time, Habima is also still showing a good production of. Shakespeare's "Othello" and a very sophisticated performance of Ed- ward Albee's "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" Ohel has not yet produced any new shows this season, but still manages to sell some of its entire performances to various unions who distribute the tickets among their members at cut rate. They can see a rather mediocre perform- ance of Berthold Brecht's "A Man Is a Man" or an almost excellent production of Ionesco's "The Thirst As to the kind of film Trauberg is making, he details in his inter- By S. J. GOLDSMITH London Correspondent of JTA resident." In the first prosecution under the city bylaw, Beattie was accused over remarks in his 35-minute speech last June 19 in Allan Gar- dens. A double ring of plainclothes detectives and mounted policemen surrounded Beattie during his speech, and held back more than 2,000 persons, police witnesses told Magistrate Opper. Beattie was charged with using language likely to stir hatred against sections of the public dis- tinguished by color, race, religion, ethnic or national origin, namely Jews and Negroes. The magistrate disagreed with all the arguments presented by the defense counsel except one - the freedom of speech argument - which was enough to acquit the defendant. The magistrate held that Beat- tie's speech was insulting to Jews and Negroes and, that it did stir up hatred, but declared that the Bill of Rights upholds freedom of speech as a fundamental freedom which cannot be overridden by a and their relations symbolize the good relations between Jews and Ukrainians. There can be no objections to Trauberg's treatment of the story so far. It happens in the best cir- cles-film-making circles-that a , minor character in a book is ele- vated to the status of a major char- acter in a film. This is particularly easy with authors who died fifty years ago . . . Nor can one expect Trauberg to admit that some Russians could also do with a film which preaches brotherhood of man, as long as the film will be shown in Russia as well as in the rest of the world. It will of course be a Russian film. There are no facilities in Soviet Russia for the making of Yiddish films. And since there are none in Hollywood. either, one cannot very well complain. The part of Tevya will be played by a Russian actor. This again is of no importance. A good actor is bound to play Tevya well. After all, Rus- sian actors play • Hamlet and Macbeth. What is more worrying is Trau- berg's treatment of the last part of the story. He says he had intro- duced an episode which is not in the original. Tevya dreams that he is having an audience with the Czar, and the Czar is leaning on a sofa and eating herring and onions without the slightest worry about the cost of such delicacies. Now this is not Tevya at all. From what we know of our old friend Tevya, such a dream would not be likely to visit him. He never tried to get above himself. An au- dience with the Czar, if you please . . . Nor would he be likely-grant- ed that he had such a dream- to be envious of the Czar and re- mark upon the cost. He would be more likely to pronounce which is uttered by Jews upon seeing royalty (Direct JTA Telegraph Wire to The Jewish News) in the flesh, and to wish the Czar a very good appetite. Another addition to the story for the purpose of the film is "elements from Job," to quote the director. The editor kindly in- forms us in a footnote that "Job was a prophet whom God is sup- posed to have punished with severe pain." For this we are grateful. Never mind the defini- tion; the good will is there . .." But why Job? Job, Trauberg says, fits into the film because Tevya was also revolting against the es- tablished order-injustice etc. True enough. But Sholem Aleichem did a very good job (small jay this time, please) of protesting against injustice in his own inimitable way. His Tevya can very well explain his attitude to the Almighty with- gun salute. Captain D. W. Har- per, commander of the destroyer fleet, visited Israel Navy command officers and Mayor Abba Khoushy of Haifa, who returned the visit. The 500 visiting navy men were entertained by the Israeli navy. which date the film will be ready. One is apprehensive about Tevya's fate in the hands of Trauberg.
