Richard Dreyfuss, this
year's "Best Actor"
Academy Award winner,
portrays the central char-
acter of a private eye in the
Universal picture, "The Big
Fix," which he also co-
produced with Carl Borack
whom he first met when
both attended Horace Mann
Elementary School in Los
Angeles.
At the age of nine, he de-
cided to become an actor.
His parents enlisted him at
the Westside Jewish Com
munity Center where I
encountered him as a young
teenager. During his
sophomore year at Beverly
Hills High, he began his
professional career at the
Gallery Theater. He
graduated from high school
in 1965 in a class that in-
cluded Larry (son of Joey)

Dustin Hoffman, in
Columbia's forthcoming
picture, "Kramer vs.
Kramer," portrays a victim
of our liberated age - a des-
erted husband who finds
himself engaged in a legal
war to retain custody of his
son.
This tables-turned story
gives us a fresh look at di-
vorce, single parenthood,
the love between father and
son, and a middle-class
man's financial struggle in
a large city.
"And Justice for All,"
written by Barry Levin-
son and Valerie Curtin
for producer Joseph Wi-
zan, deals with a young
lawyer (portrayed by Al
Pacino) who takes a sar-
donic view at the law
business. Armed with a
special sense of justice
and a bizarre sense of
humor, the attorney
plays havoc with the
judiciary as did Elliott

ical profession in

NEW YORK (JTA) - Of-
ficials of a major American
Orthodox rabbinical organ-
ization maintain that the
conversion of Black basket-
ball star Aulcie Perry, now
a member of the Maccabi
team in Israel, by a Brook-
lyn rabbi was invalid.
7he Jewish Telegraphic
Agency rep'orted from
Jerusalem that the dispute
might lead Agudat Israel to
leave the Begin coalition
unless Perry's nationaliza-
tion certificate is rescinded
by the National Religious
Party-directed Ministry of
the Interior.
The latest dispute 'in
the ongoing controversy
over the validity of con-
versions outside of Israel
was touched off by offi-
cials of the Tel Aviv
Hapoel Club, rivals of the
Maccabi.
The Hapoel officials
wrote to the Union of Or-
thodox Rabbis of the United
States and Canada (UOR)
asking about the validity of
Perry's conversion by Rabbi
Haim Rabinowitz, who
heads a rabbinical court
(Beth Din), "Tifereth Is-
rael," in Brooklyn and who
describes himself in adver-
tising in a local English-
Jewish weekly as dean of
the Rabbinical Academy of
America.

NY Activist Cited

NEW YORK - The
Committee for Public Edu-
cation and Religious Lib-
erty (PEARL) honored
Florence Flast, its chair-
man and co-founder, at a
dinner Nov. 2 at the
Americana Hotel.
PEARL defends separa-
tion of church and state and

nize Rabbi Rabinowitz or
his Beth Din.
Ashkenazic Chief Rabbi
Shlomo Goren, discussing
the dispute, said in
Jerusalem that the Perry
conversion court would
have to be investigated to
determine whether its
members conformed to Or-
thodox requirements, add-
ing the touchstone should
be whether they were rec-
ognized by the Rabbinical
Council of America, repor-
tedly the largest Orthodox
rabbinical organization in
the United States.

George Segal and Glenda
Jackson, who found each
other in "A Touch of Class,"
once again are romantically
involved in "Lost and
Found" in which Glenda is a
British divorcee and George
a widowed U.S. college pro-
fessor. Maureen Stapleton
portrays a concerned
mother-in-law and Paul
Sorvino a cab driver who
moonlights as philospher.
The sophisticated script was
written by Jack Rose to-
gether with the film's
producer-director Melvin
Frank.
Lorne Greene, the pat-
riarch of television's
"Bonanza" who returned to
the big screen in "Earth-
quake," now portrays the
commander of a giant in-
terplanetary man-of-war in
"Battlestar Galactica." The
silver-maned actor, whom
we first met in London 23
years ago, says that in his
long career ranging from
newscaster to Shakespeare,
he had never before ap-
peared in a science fiction
role.
