cialties.
UNSUNG AMONG LOCAL spots
is the Presidential Inn on 1-75 and

ALL CARS WILL be taken by
attendants in the Motor Lobby of
Hotel Pontchartrain after 5:30 p.m.

same place now that additional
parking space has been found to
accommodate evening patrons .. .
In the past, some people had to be
turned away because of lack of
parking.
IF YOU'RE LIKE ME, you de-
mand good service ... Sure, help is
a problem, but so is finding cus-
tomers when the service is bad.
BIG THING for folks watching
their diet is the food at Alban's
Bottle & Basket on N. Hunter
(Woodward) in Birmingham . . .
The assortment of salads, bread so
thin you can hardly see it (to use a
phrase) and all sorts of goodies ...
Sol Pitt has been concentrating
very much on this, and guys 'n gals
watching their weight have a real
pal in Sol! . . . Another Bottle &
Basket will open in about a month
in the Tel-12 Mall.
A FAVORITE STORY of regular
guy Bobby Laurel at the Apartment
Lounge is of a young friend in New
York who is an ardent devotee of
bebop music . . . The wilder and
more discordant it waxes, the bet-
ter he likes it, says Bobby ... The
lad was walking his girl friend
home very late one night when a
garbage van pulled up ahead and
the crew began banging and rat-
tling cans of refuse about the side-
walk in that copyrighted manner
best calculated to wake everybody
on the block . . . At the height of
the racket, the bebop devotee
clasped his girl's hand and mur-
mered reverently, "Listen, darling!
Our Song!"

age of 15 who perished in the
Theresienstadt camp during 1942
and 1943.

Saul Rubin group a motion picture
By HERBERT G. LUFT
(Copyright 1969, JTA, Inc.)
HOLLYWOOD — Arthur Ornitz,
the Oscar winning cinemato-
grapher, has completed on loca-
tion in Denmark, "Gilleleje 43," a
60-minute semi-documentary in col-
or, with native extras in their own
surroundings, dealing with the
rescue of 7,200 Danish Jews dur-
ing World War II.
The factual account is based on
the book, "Night of Watching" by
Elliott Arnold, with a screenplay
by James Hatch, Marshall Flaum
(of Wolper's "Let My People Go"),
Fred Haines (author of the screen-
play for James Joyce's "Ulysses"),
and Mrs. Elaine Attias, a West
Coast philanthropist - turned - pro-
ducer who collaborated with Mo-
gens Skot-Hansen of Copenhagen,
with cameraman Ornitz doubling as
director. "Gilleleje 43" reflects
events during the Nazi -cupation
from the vantage point of one loca-
tion, a small community of fisher-
men and boat builders on the fore-
most northern tip of the island of
Zealand facing Sweden across the
Kattegat.
The picture is one in a series of
films currently being completed
for executive Saul Rubin of the
Communication Commission of the
Jewish Federation of Los Angeles.
"Gilleleje 43" is now in the cutting
room with Mrs. Attias supervising
the editing.

Ben Maddow is shooting another
semi-documentary for the Commis-
sion, "Storm of Strangers," based
on his own parents' emigration to
the New York East Side just be-
fore the turn of the century. Mad-
dow's narration says that "A man
has God's obligation to bend down
and lift up his children as high as
he can reach." Unlike "Gilleleje
43," a dialogue film, Maddow's
epic has a straight narration rec-
orded by Herschel Bernardi and
an original musical score by
Serge Hovey.
