Dayan's Dilemma

Which Moshe is the right one?
The answer is, both are, but because of a peculiarity of
the printing process, Israel's defense minister appears to
alternate his famous eye patch at will.
The Jewish News editors did a double take of their
own a few months ago, when confronted with the two pho-
tos of Dayan. Upon Inquiry to the Israel Ministry of De-
fense, it was learned that the phenomenon was known to
the ministry.
A spokesman wrote: "The pictures are sometimes in-
correctly printed from the negatives, the black patch thus
appearing on the right eye (the healthy one) of Mr. Dayan,
in lieu of the left (lacking) one."
The Jewish News photo of Aug. 25 (at left) was the
correct one.

1734 Stradivarius to Be Given by Violinist to City of Jerusalem

NEW YORK—Because "the
people who have given the
world the greatest number
of great fiddlers" doesn't
own a single important mus-
ical instrument, a Polish-
born concert violinist will
present his rare 1734 Stradi-
varius to the city of Jerusa-
lem.
Henryk Szeryng, consid-
ered among the world's 10
leading concert violinists,
will make the presentation at
a concert he is to play there
Sunday.
In an interview with The
New York Times, he said the
$60,000 violin would be re-
named the Kinor David Strad-
ivarious—the lyre of David
Stradivarius. It will be avail-
able to young Israeli violin-
ists to play, as well as for
inspection by others, he said.
Szeryng said the presenta-
tion would be made in his
own behalf and that of the
government of Mexico, of
which he is a citizen and am-
bassador to the UN Educa-
tional Social and Cultural Or-
ganization in Paris.

LIFE WITH HASIDIM: The growing interest among
American-born Jews in the.Hasidic;movement in this coun-
try has stimulated the writing and publication of a number
of attractive books on Hasidism. pie latest is "The Face of

Faith," published this week by the Baltimore Hebrew Col-
lege Press.

It is a captivating book. Its text is excellent. Its highly
sensitive and beautiful photographs portraying the daily life
of Hasidim and their families at home, in the street, at
work and at learning leave an indelible impression.
Written by Professor George Gershon Kranzler, a noted
sociologist and educator, it conveys the atmosphere of Wil-
liamsburg, the section in Brooklyn where a vibrant Hasidic
life is going on in a neighborhood populated by Blacks,
Puerto Ricans and other racial minorities. Neither the drab
setting of the neighborhood nor the tensions prevailing there
impede the Hasidic groups from conducting their intensive,
colorful and distinctive life.

FASCINATING PROFILE: A fascinating profile of the
life of the Hasidic community of Williamsburg emerges
from the remarkable photographs by Irving I. Herzberg.
Each picture in "The Face of Faith" is a masterpiece of
photography, showing Hasidic living in action and reflecting
Hasidic moods.
There is warmth and beauty in the scenes and subjects
which Mr. Herzberg has caught in his camera. He presents
vividly all aspects of Hasidic life, public and familial.
The probing photographs in "The Face of Faith" also
convey the spirit of the day-to-day life of the Hasidim in
the realm of making a living,
The manuscript and its photographs were the winner
of the Seltzer-Brodsky Prize of the YIVO Institute for Jew-
ish Research. The publication of the volume was made
possible by a gift from the Joseph and Rebecca Meyerhoff
Publication Fund of the Baltimore Hebrew College.

Silent Screen Pictorial History

A volume that reconstructs
pictorially the artistry of
such great personalities as
Sarah Bernhardt, Joseph
Schildkraut, Rudolph Schild-
kraut, Boris Karloff, Al Jol-
son, George Jesse], and
scores of other notables at
once earns meritorious ac-
claim and wide attention.
This is the case with the
large book, "A Pictorial His-
tory of the Silent Screen" by
Daniel Blum, published by
Putnam.
The fact that this pictorial
record also deals with the
producers as well as the
actors of the silent movies
gives it added significance.
Blum's pictorial history, a
standard reference book and
movie goers' delight, is a
richly instructive saga of the
movies from the nickelodeons
to silent epics such as "The

Birth of a Nation."
This classic film book in-
cludes more than 3,000 photo-
graphs of countless films and
innumerable stars. Here are
all the great luminaries and
directors of yesteryears from
Mary Bickford, Chaplin,
Theda Bars, and Mack Sen-
nett to Valentino, Clara Bow
and Lubitsch.
This was the age of tinsel
splendor and scandals, of
skyrocketing salaries and
endless vitality, and it was
extraordinary creative. With
the aid of thousands of stills
and brief text to delight
every movie fan, the author
has evoked all the glamour
and extravagance of these
fabulous personalities and
assembled some of the most
colorful and varied material
on the social history of the
first quarter of this century.
