Young Dancers Perform on Tour in 'Blue Jeans'
Harriet Berg and members of
the Jewish Center Young Dancers
Guild performed "The Man Who
Invented Blue Jeans" for the
Cleveland Jewish Center children's
department Sunday.
The story is based on the adven-
tures of Levi Straus, who came to
America from Bavaria in the
1850s, and by a strange series of
events became the inventor of blue
denims. The orighul dance-drama
was created especially for children
by Mrs. Berg and the Dancer's
Guild with story, songs and dances
from the old West and old Europe.
The Young Dancer's Guild
also demonstrated and helped
teach folk dance at a Folk Fes-
tival at Lake Erie College,
Ohio.
Members of the guild making
the Ohio tour were Marcie Cutler,
Linda Fink, Cindy Geffen, Ruth
Gorka, Cynthia Jennings, Cheri
Plavnick, Mindy Tilchin, and Beth
White. Gail Gotthelf is stage man-
ager.

sea to pick up the bills.
Police learned about the find
when one Israeli notified them
of a find of several banknotes
he had picked up on the sea-
shore. When a second man re-
ported a similar find, the skepti-
cal police went to the seashore
and began digging. The notes
were genuine. They appeared
either to have been hidden by
thieves in some kind of con-
tainer which ruptured, freeing
the banknotes to wash ashore,
or to have been thrown from an
Israeli ship passing from Haifa
to Ashdod. The police continued
their investigations, issuing a
warning to finders to turn over
the notes to the police depart-
ment.
