New York Is The Place
For Fall Music, Plays, Art

ROSE KLEINER

T

he excitement of fall
events is so pervasive
in New York that sum-
mer's end is hardly noted.
It has been months since
Jackie Mason's The World Ac-
cording To Me! opened on
Broadway, but the comedian
is still playing to sold-out au-
diences. Mason's incredible
success has inspired another
one man show, starring Mort
Sahl, the political satirist, in
a four-week run at the Neil
Simon Theater.
Speaking of Neil Simon, his
Broadway Bound, at the
Broadhurst Theater, is a
superb attraction that should
not be missed.
Chaim Potok's novel, The
Chosen, has been turned into
a musical. Preview perfor-
mances begin at the Second
Avenue Theater.
A new resident Jewish
theater company, the Mosaic,
will be launched at the 92nd
St. Y this fall. Its first produc-
tion, Berlin, Jerusalem and
the Moon, was part of the
Israel Festival this year. The
play explores issues of con-
temporary Jewish identity
with humor, music, puppetry
and powerful drama.
A new Yiddish-English
musical review, On Second
Avenue, opens Oct. 17 at the
Norman Thomas Theater. It
stars Mary Soreanu, a
leading lady of the Yiddish
musical theater.
New York's accommodation
scene is constantly improving,
as more hotels complete their
renovations. The stately
Inter-Continental is a case in
point. Its spacious and
beautiful lobby is now match-
ed by its equally luxurious
guest rooms. Both provide an
oasis in the midst of this
bustling metropolis. The
hotel now has a no smoking
floor, and special weekend
rates. It is minutes away from
Broadway, museums and
Fifth Avenue shopping.
A seemingly endless
number of concerts are book-
ed for the fall, many of them
at Lincoln Center's Avery
Fisher Hall. Among the per-
formers will be Nathan Mils-
tein (Nov. 15) and Yitzhak
Perlman (Dec. 6). Visiting or-
chestras will come from
China, London, and
Leningrad.
Carnegie Hall will present
the New York Pops Oct. 30,
and the Toronto Symphony
Oct. 31 and Nov. 1. Pianists
Murray Perahia (Nov. 7) and
Yefim Bronfman (Dec. 5) will

FRIDAY, OCT. 9, 1987

be among the distinguished
artists at the 92nd St. Y.
Among exhibits, the Age of
Sultan Suleyman the
Magnificent, at the
Metropolitan Museum of Art,
should be of special interest.
Depicting the golden Age of
the Ottoman Empire, during
the reign of Sultan Suleyman
(1520-1566), the show con-
tains 200 items.
Sultan Suleyman is a pro-
minent figure in Jewish
history of the Ottoman
period. He is perhaps best
remembered for building the
walls around the Old City of
Jerusalem, which still stand
today. Called "King Solomon"
by his Jewish subjects,
Suleyman was a noted
legislator, poet and patron of
the arts. The exhibit runs un-
til Jan. 17.
Two new exhibits open at
the Jewish Museum. "Women
of Valor: The Story of
Hadassah," celebrates the
75th anniversary of this
largest and prominent
women's volunteer organiza-
tion in the world. "The
Dreyfus Affair: Art, Truth
and Justice," surveys the
political and cultural roles of
art, the artist and the in-
tellectual in the Dreyfus Af-
fair from 1894 to 1906.

Israel Rejects
Soviet Gesture

Jerusalem (JTA) — Israel
last week rejected an offer by
the Soviet Union that the two
countries open "interest of-
fices" in Tel Aviv and
Moscow, respectively, as a
temporary substitute for the
re-establishment of full
diplomatic relations which
the USSR broke 20 years ago,
Maariv reported.
The offer was reportedly
made by Soviet Foreign Min-
ister Eduard Shevardnadze
when he met with Foreign
Minister Shimon Peres in
New York recently. Interest
offices, the lowest level of
diplomatic representation,
were established by Israel
and Poland earlier this year
and soon will be established
by Israel and Hungary.
Shevardnadze told Peres it
would be a "step to improve
relations" between their
countries. But Peres turned
him down, saying Israel-
USSR relations must be on a
higher level than relations
with Poland and Hungary.
