Morris A Zcldin, Director of the New York Campaign, announced that all pre¬ vious records have been broken by the raising of 1,l,i)60,000 in Greater New York.

Efforts of workers in sections through¬ out the country where campaigns have al¬ ready been held are now directed towards ' the collections of outstanding pledges.

It is painte<] out that the present economic depression can be easily relieved through the expansion of the many reclamation projects, with funds of the United Pal¬ estine Appeal.

RABBI AND MRS. RIVLIN
NOW IN THEIR NEW HOME AT 1431 ©RYDEN RD.
Without retinquibhing a jot of their earlier determination to produce only worthy plays, the Hillel Players of Ohio State feci that their offering this spring, "Beggar ou Horseback", to be presented May 'JO at Central High, will have a more popular appeal than any of their former performances. The play is in no sense "high-brow", since the authors Kaufman and Connelly are perhaps the brightest and wittiest writers of com¬ edies that have appeared before a New York public for the last generation.
Although of an entirely different na¬ ture. " Beggar on Horesback" should provoke the same continuous laughter that greeted Harry Losin's prize play, "Herring", when it was presented at the B'nai B'rith Revue at the Hartman last month. The situations, especially those of the fashionable wedding, the gay restaurant, the court room are ex¬ cruciatingly funny. Even a rehearsal of the play is often broken up by the laughter of the actors and the coach. One can easily understand why the "Beg¬ gar" proved one of the most popular of Broadway successes a few years ago. Only its large cast and elaborate scen¬ ery kept it from becoming a road suc¬ cess, for this reason Columbusites should be doubly grateful to Hillel for giving them' their first opportunity to see this New York success. When one realizes that tlje play contains eighteen scenes with original and effective settings it is easy to understand what debt the Hillel Players owe to Mr. Hermann Miller of the English Department of State who de¬ vised them and mapped out plans for the entire production and staging. The pro¬ duction end is in the able hands of Walter Benjamin and Hillard Sands, two students who liavc been responsible fof a number of Hillel's smoothly run¬ ning performances in the past; Theodore Schwarz will be in charge of the light¬ ing which is so elaborate that it re guires the equipment of th^ Central High School.     '
The .ictors, who are being put through their , pace; by Miss Ruth Frank and Mrs Lee J. Levinger, have been care¬ fully chosen to suit the broadly Jiumor- ous types in which the play abounds Jean Brenner and Mina Nupuf, who have received remarkably high praise for their work in previous performances, wJU be seen as the society fjapper and the but-i- ness girl; the hero will be impersonated hy Harry Tucker, a lead in 'Tie" one of the winter plays; Harry Elconin, the father in "Herring" will have another humorous part as Mr. Cady, the Babbit business man and judge; other comedy parts will be taken by Dorothy Schan¬ farber, Jess Feuer, Ruth Rosenthaler and E\a Shdket. It is characteristic of the versatility of the Players that Dolf Grossman, last been as a college boy, should now play the Prince in the dream pantomime, opposite Adele Cohn; as the lovely but discontented Princess; others m the pantomime are Otto Margolis, Martha Gervitz, Leonard Cohen and Charles Zwelling.
And there will l>e butlers, jurymeU; dancing masters, newspaper reporters "big business" men, character parts taken in bcvcral caries by actors who have dis- thiguished themselves in longer roles, like Manny Lewis, Edward Blasberg and Arthur Rubenstein. Others in the cast, combining as many as six parts to a per¬ son, are Hobert Hirsch, Jack Patricoff, Samuel Rubenstein, Harry S. Kolman, Jerome Scliauman, Frank Weinbaum, Julius Weinberg, Charles Gordon,
Tickets are bing sold for 50c, 75c, and $1; the Central High School auditorium will hold an audience of 130O, prac¬ tically all of the seats are very good- Tickets may be obtained by phoning to the Hillel Foundation, Walnut 1628; they are also on sale at Ben Ratner's,

Becker and Dr   Ber- n.ird Kahn were also guests at the re¬ ception which was attended b\ the mcm- gers of the Board, social workers, dis¬ tinguished men of letters and representa¬ tives of the press,
Albert Fuks. chairman ol the Moscow Kehillab, praised the achievements of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Com¬ mittee in Russia and lauded the part of Felix M Warburg and Dr. Joseph Rosen in this work which has earned the grati¬ tude of Russian Jewry.
r>r. Gran, one of the oldest Russian Jewish social workers, pointed out that the Joint Distribution CoininUtcc brought aid to J^ussian Jewry during the terrible war J ears, thus preventing its destruction. The J. D C- work in Russia has been done with praiseworthy impartiality. The speaker paid tribute to Dr. Rosen, stating that it would be impossible to find a bet¬ ter man for the job- Dr. Wermel, a writer, expressed the hope that the Joint Distribution Committee will continue its work in Russia until Russian Jewry is self supporting.
Replying to the addresses, Mr. War¬ burg described his experiences of his five months* journey, during which he visited Palestine. "I Visited the cradles of all religions and cultures and it is my sincerest wish to see peace prevail among the races and nations."
Referring to the work of the Joint' Distribution Committee, Mr. Warburg stated that its achievements were not only in the fact that it brought assistance to European Jewry, but also in the fact that it reminded American Jews of th«r origin and of their Jewishness. He him¬ self, Mr. Warburg stated, was not in¬ terested in Russian Jewish affairs until the Joint Distribution Committee was formed   Now all Jews are aljke to him.
The chairman of the Joint Distribution committee then praised highly the services of Dr Rosen and concluded by expressing the hope that the ties of friendship be¬ tween American and Russian Jewry will remain as strong after the situation in Russia improves
