THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
Streisand in Ambitious .Role
BY HERBERT G. LUFT
(Copyright 1976, JTA, Inc.)
Barbra Streisand's
most ambitious picture to
date, "A Star Is Born,"
has been completed and
will open in key spots at
year's end. A love story
between _ two musical
superstarS, one on the
rise and the other one on
the skids, the film also
presents Kris Kristoffer-
son who is currently on
the screen in "The Sailor
Who Fell from Grace With
the Sea."
Filming took place to
the tune of $6 million at
locations throughout the
U.S. with an extended
period of shooting in
Arizona where several
rock concerts were pro-
duced to add the excite-
ment of authenticity to
key scenes of the epic.
"Live" performances
in the open air is some-
thing Barbra Streisand
has often rendered in the
past topped by a single
show for her 1967 Central
Park concert when she
appeared before 135,000
people.
In her current epic, the

BARBRA STREISAND
pure Streisand — singer,
actress and personality
— is at work. She is heard
in original musical num-
bers, including one she
wrote herself with Leon
Russell and is on screen
in a drama which makes
full use of her talent as an
actress.
A Hollywood phenome-
non, she notes with pride
that she arrived without
having her nose fixed,
teeth capped or name
changed. When first lis-
tening to her inner voice to
"go West," she took a 40-
minute subway ride from
her home in Brooklyn
(where she was an honor
student at Erasmus High
School) to the show busi-
ness world in Manhattan.
Still a teenager, she
first claimed attention as
a singer . at such night-
clubs as New York's "Bon
Soir" and Detroit's
"Caucus Club" and then
showed her talents as -a
comedienne appearing as
"Miss Marmelstin," the
unnoticed and unloved
secretary in the 1962
Broadway musical, "I

Unlike the character
she was portraying on
stage, she was noticed by
Elliott Gould who mar-
ried her and by producer
Ray Stark who signed her
to portray his late
mother-in-law, Fanny
Brice, in his Broadway
production of "Funny
Girl."
Signed to a 10-year
contract with CBS-TV to
produce and star in a
series of spectaculars,
she presented as her first
one-woman show for the
network, "My Name Is
Barbra," winning public
and critical acclaim plus
five Emmy Awards.
A veteran of two "com-
mand" performances at
the White House for Pres-
idents Kennedy and
Johnson, Barbra dazzled
Londoners in a special
show at the American Em-
bassy.
For her screen in-
terpretation of Fanny
Brice, she won an
Academy Award and the
The Golden Globe from
the foreign press and the
designation by the Friars
Club as "The Entertainer
of the Year," thereby be-
coming the second
woman so honored by the
70-year-old
theatrical organization.
Barbra moved from
"Funny Girl" to the filmi-
zation of the Broadway
musicals "Hello Dolly"
and "On a Clear Day You
Can See Forever," two of
the least successful pic-
tures of her astonishing
career. But the non-
singing part in Stark's
"The Owl and the Pus-
sycat" catapulted her
back to the top resulting
in a five-year contract
with Las Vegas' Interna-
tional Hotel with "the
highest sum ever paid a
performer for cafe ap-
pearances."
Her next was the com-
edy, "What's Up Doc?"
which was followed by
"Up The Sandbox" for
First Artists in which she
is a partner with Paul
Newman, Steve McQueen
and Dustin Hoffman. In
1973 came the dramatic
hit,."The Way We Were,"
once again produced by
Stark, in which she star-
red opposite Robert Red-
ford winning still another
Academy Award nomina-
tion.
She then appeared in
the madcap comedy "For
Pete's Sake," prior to
making the sequel to the
Fanny Brice story,
"Funny Lady," When star-
ring in the television spe-
cial "Barbra Streisand
and Other Musical In-
struments," she garnered
five Emmy Awards.
Intermingled with her
film, stage, concert and
television accomplish-
ments, Barbra Streisand
remains an immensely
popular 'recording artist
with no less than a dozen
"gold albums" to her cre-
dit.
A man in whom I had
faith raised his fist against

TORONTO (JTA) — A
Toronto rabbi told a chap-

there was a severe shortage
of Jewish chaplains to visit
hospitals, prisons, senior
citizens homes and centers
for retarded children. Rabbi
Joseph Kelman told the con-
ference, sponsored by the
central region of the Cana-
dian Jewish Congress, that
there were not enough
pulpit rabbis with time for
such assignments and sug-
gested that the Jewish com-
munity develop a corps of

of Jews in those institu-
tions.
