ket. She appears nightly
"live" in the role of Mag-
gie, the Marilyn Monroe-
like character, in the reviv-
al of Arthur Miller's "After
the Fall" at Hollywood's
Company of Angels Thea-
ter. Her portrayal is of a
dual personality, innocent
and naive at heart at first
to turn into a tempestuous
woman seeking to destroy
some who had been friends
and admirers of her father.
It was Maurice Schwartz
who introduced Lee J. Cobb
to Helen Beverly in London
on the eve of World War II.
Helen, daughter of the Rus-
sian-born Yiddish stage pro-
ducer-director, Louis J.
Smuckler, then was touring
England.
Louis Smuckler, Julie's
grandfather, himself repre-
sents a segment of Jewish
theater in Los Angeles. It
was in 1944 when he produc-
ed the first English-lan-
guage version of "The Dyb-
buk" in a very small house
on Melrose Avenue in Holly-
wood. • The tormented ye-
shiva student was pbrtray-
ed by one Paul Gregory, a
non-Jew, who later became
the producer of the famed
concert version of Shaw's
"Don Juan in Hell" star-

Sir Lew Grade is announc-
ing the production of "The
Boys from Brazil" from the
scenario by Kenneth Ross
based on the thought-pro-
voking best-seller dealing
with the re-emergence in
South America of a new
brand of super-Aryans bred
by artificial cloning. The
strongly-phrased anti-Nazi
yarn Is being co-produced
by Robert Fryer (who was
at the helm of "Voyage of
the Damned") and will be
directed by Franklin J.
Schaffner _(of "Patton")
with Gregory Peck and Lau-
rence Olivier in starring
roles.
John Bleifer, who gained
his acting recognition with
the Vilna Yiddish theater in
Poland before arriving in
New York in 1923 to appear
with Rudolf Schildkraut in
Sholom Ash's "God of
Vengeance" and with Eva
LeGallienne and Josepr
Schildkraut in Chekhov's
"The Cherry Orchard,"
now for many years active
in films and TV, has been
signed for a prominent role
in `F.I.S.T., ' the United
Artists picture starring
Rocky's Sylvester Stallone
under Norman Jewison's di-
rection.
"Star Wars," the runa-
way box office winner chalk-
ing up a domestic gross of
$78 million, has broken an-
other record : it is the first
movie with mechanical thes-
pians, to have the footprints
of robots embedded in ce-
ment in the forecourt of the
Chinese Theater in Holly-
wood. The late Sid Grau-
man must have had a
twinkle in his eye. The book
sale of "Star Wars" is also
out of this world, and so
are the performances by
-Alec Guinness and Peter_
Cushing.
Walter Matthau, who un-
derwent a serious hear oper-
ation, was presented with
the 1977 Heart of the Year
Award by the American
Heart Association. The trib-
ute took place at the Santa
Fe Memorial Hospital in
Los Angeles on the make-
shift set of the motion pic-
ture "House Calls" in
which Matthau portrays a
physician. The award is pre-
sented annually to an Amer-
ican whose personal battle
with heart disease gives
hope and encouragement to
others.
David L. Wolper, the en-
terprising producer of the
TV series "Roots," will
now make a theatrical
movie based on material by
author Alex Haley not utiliz-
ed on the home screen.
"Roots: The Next Gener-
ation" is set in the post-
Civil War era in Tennessee
and continues with the saga
of the novelist's family. Ed-
ward Anhalt, the Academy
Award winning screen
writer, is doing the sce-
nario, with Stan Margulies
producing for Wolper.
Harvey Bernhard is pre-
paring the production of
"Damien—The Omen II,"
hopefully to continue the
lucky box office spell cast
over the first "Omen" star-
ring Gregory Peck, who
vanished in the earlier offer-
ing and now is replaced by
William Holden. Again, a
segment of the film will be
shot in Israel with locations
at the Hazor dig in Jerusa-
lem.
Federal District Court Settles Williamsburg
Dispute Involving Hasidim, Blacks, Latinos
NEW YORK (JTA) — An
agreement approved in fed-
eral district court last week
to end a sharp dispute be-
tween whites — mostly Ha-
sidic Jews — and Hispanic
and Black residents in the
Williamsburg section of
Brooklyn gives the Hasidim
49 percent of the 532 apart-
ments in a federal housing
project and the minorities
51 percent, the attorney for
the Jews said.
At issue was the formula
for allocation of the apart-
ments in the two 20-story
and four six-story buildings
making up the Roberto Cle-
mente Plaza, according to
Gabriel Kaszovitz, attorney
for the United Jewish Or-
into New York Southern Dis-
trict Federal Court to stop
the allocation plan as vague
and ordering all parties to
come up with a more clear-
cut plan to conform with
the ethnic make-up of the
community.
Hasidic leaders expressed
fears last spring that appli-
cation of the 75-25 formula
would "tip" the area and
bring the ultimate destruc-
tion of Williamsburg as a
site of Jewish settlement,
citing a drop in the Jewish
population during the past
15 years from nearly 200,000z
to the present estimate
50,000.
ganizations of Williamsburg
(UJO), an umbrella agency
for more than 100 Jewish or-
ganizations in William-
sburg.
Kent Village, the Hispan-
ic-dominated sponsoring or-
ganization for Clemente
Plaza, initially proposed to
the federal Housing and
Urban Development depart-
ment and to the cith Hous-
ing and Development Ad-
ministration, a plan for allo-
cation under which apart-
ments would be offered on
a 75-25 ratio, with the minor-
ities getting the 75 percent.
The two housing agencies
approved.

British Aliya Is Increasing
LONDON (JTA)—A sharp
rise in immigration to Is-
rael from Britain is re-
vealed in the latest statis-
tics published by the Jewish
Agency's Aliya and Absorp-
tion Department in London.
In the first seven months
of this year, 435 people
went to settle in Israel, com-
pared with 277 in the same
period of last year, a rise of
65 percent. The increase
would have been even high-
er if it had included the 150
people going on aliya this
month, the most for
August since 1970.
Moshe Yotvat, the aliya
department's director, has
no simple explanation for
this significant increase,
which coincides with the
end of his own two-year
tour of duty here.
Board of Deputies of Brit-
ish Jews, the community's
representative council, is as-
sociated with it, as are
many other organization.
Yotvat noted, however,
that there has been a "com-
plete change of atmos-
phere" towards aliya in the.
organized Jewish commu-
nity. In a briefing in Israel
before his appointment he
had been warned that aliya
was "a dirty word" in Brit-
ain. .Now, however, the
aliya department was deal-
ing with 3,000 to 4,000
seroius inquiries a year.

The new atmoshpere was
also reflected in the commu-
nity's establishment of an
umbrella organization, the
National Aliya and Volun-
teer Council, which will
have responsibility for all
aspects of promoting aliya
from Britain.
