Barrymore and the Wilna Gaon
There wa.s a certain indescribable feel¬ ing that once came to this writer some years ago, while workinpt on a Wash¬ ington daily, when he was introduced to a grcat-great-grcat grandson of George VVashington, who was then employed at the Library, of Congress in some subor¬ dinate capacity as (loorkccper or some¬ thing of that sort.
This man of course, was not really an offspring of Washington, for he, Father of our Country, hari no offspring of his own, but of Martha Washington. To he more correct, he Vas hut an adopted dc-sccndant, hut still, there was this feeli- iiig.
I ' had a somewhat similar ¦ feeling when I ran into first a descendant of Elijah Wilna, the Wilna Gaon, who, as >ou know, is one of the principals of the publicity department of RKO pictures, llie idea of there being a modern descendant of so sainted and scholarly a figure almost takes away one's breath, but to meet one in the flesh doing pub¬ licity for the puerile slobber of moving pictures is far more breath taking than most of the screen reelers, which War- sliawsky helps exploit.
A New Plot Warshawsky has ju.st  written a play. To be niore accurate, he wrote it, some¬ time ago, but has just sold it, to Ethel Barrymore who will star in it.
And I understand, Warshawsky has several other plays up his sleeve, which he IS priming, for some mysterious rea¬ son, for the other Barrymores, John and Lionel.
I have no objections to Warshawsky Selling any plays to the Barrymores. In fact, 1 am rather entranced at the vista that the very thought opens.
Imagine, the Barrymore reaction, when the play was, bought from Warshawsky. Proud Ethel, if she i.s anything like John, must have thought to herself— " V break this Hebrew lad just out of the ghetto is getting for me to star in one of his t^lays,"
For the cliances are,' you know, that Ethel -has never heard of the Wilna Gaon—does not know that the old time Jew would swap a couple of tons of rel¬ atives to claim des(;ent to Elijah Wilna. And yet on the other hand, fancy tell¬ ing one of these old time Jews, that a <\escc;iu\aht of the Wilna Gaon had sokl a play to Ethel Barrymore.
He would he as indifferent to the Bar- riinore name as the Barrymores are to the Wilna Gaon,
And there, Playwright. Sam War¬ shawsky, is a good theme for a play in Itself
¦ When It Raiiis
And talking about plays, and since four out of five of the readers of this department, at one time or another, ac¬ cording to the statements of actuaries, contemplate the writing of plays, let mc give you some advice on how to keep from starving while doing it. _^
Really, it's not advice of niiy own—¦ it's the actual experience of one, Elmer Rice, the Hebraic lad, who of late, as you know, has been scoring hits. ' His latest is  Counsellor-at-Law.   .
When, Rice started on his playwright- mg career, he was confronted hy the problem of earning his livelihood until he scored..   So what did he do?
Here is what he did. He took two, cimI service examinations, one of which was to teach English to foreigners and the other to reiul proof. After taking the exanls, he retired to work on his first plai, "On Trial." Selling it after he had completed it, was a difficult job. He became very anxious ahout those jobs for which he had taken the tests, hoping for a call, but no call came.
Instead, after a while, Arthur Hop¬ kins bought the play. Gosh, what a re¬ lief'
And'as you might expect, after this relief came, there came further news. Two calls from the Civil Service—one for teaching English to foreigners, and then a call to read proof at one of the state institutions,
That. IS   why—on   account   of   little things like that, that the proverb has it —It never rain,s but it pours. Of course. Rice never took any of the ' Civil Service, jobs.   He stuck to writing plays, and he Is living happy ever after. Mrs. Ehrlich Celebrates X'mas I have heard it said that there arc some Jews who have Christinas celebrations.
But I think you will have to admit that it,is a rare thing for Jews to carry the celebration to the point that Mrs, Ja¬ cob Ehrlich recently did, if my informa¬ tion is accurate.
Mrs. Ehrlich, it seems, is president of the Horse Aid Society. She is very much interested in the welfare of ani¬ mals.   And I like her for that.
Well, when Christmas came around, Mrs. Ehrlich saw everybody getting vis- it-i from Santa Claus, but the animals. That wasn't right. The poor beasts have also a right to a little relief from the tedium of ordinary life. As a poet might put it, I
The horse.i the cat and the innlc,
They too must have their Yule.
Horses and Purim
And   so,   Mrs.   Ehrlich   arranged   a
Christmas  celebration   for  the  animals.
Gifts   were  distributed  all   around.    It
was very jileasant all around.    Nobody
got   anybody's   goat.      Everybody    was
pleasant.   Even the mules didn't kick.
Now, as I say, I have no objection to that. It h^s iiv fact, a lot of horse sense to it. But it seems to me that it is only fair that the idea should be ex- tende<l, or the first thing we know, all the mules will be singing^ Christmas (Continued on page 4)

Hillel   Foundation   to   Give
Dance for Benefit Student
Loan Fund, Feb. 6th
The Ii'nai BVith Hillel Foundation of Ihfc C)hio State University announces a dance to he giveii for the benefit of its Studeiit Loan Fund. The dance will be held Saturday night, February (ith, at the Armory of the Ohio State Univer¬ sity. Tile Annary is located right off Fifteenth and High. Music will be fur¬ nished by the "Scarlet Masque Orches¬ tra," one of the most n?)pular groups of musicians in Columbus. Tickets are on sale at Hillel, fffi 18th Ave., and will also be sold at the box ofTice. The price of tickets is si^l.OO per couple and at this popular price should -attract a large crowd. ¦    .    .
In former years the students as well as tlie local Jewry subscribed to tbis most worthy cause. .This year a benefit dance is being held instead, and the com¬ mittee in charge hopes that the annual quota will be reached. This fund has been of great assistance to the students of the University as attested by the fol¬ lowing figures. During the past five years there has been loaned out to 71 students the sum of $1H50. . Of this sum .$5;J0 has been returned by 32 people, and when we consider that many to whom loans were made' are still in school and arc consequently unable to repay,their loans, the results are most satisfactory; This year more than ever there is a pressing need for help among the stu¬ dent body, .so let'.s all go to the dance. Tlie committee in charge is Emanuel Caplan, Samuel A. Cramer, Aaron Reichesax, and Bernard Grossman.
Remember, the date—February Gth place—Armory, off Fifteenth and High St.; price—!?1,00; tickets at Hillcl or Box Office. ''

Report Herr Hitler Plans to
Strike at Jews by Ruthless
Taxation System
Boasts That Nearly Fifty  Per Cent
Of Voters  in Reich  Will
Support Him
BERLIN—(J.   T.   A.)—One  of   the things Chancellor Bruening of Germany t'>ld the French prime minister, M. Pierre i aval,  on   the  occasion  of   his   visit  to Paris two months ago was that the ad- \cnt  of  Herr  Hitler to supreme power in the Kcich must he considered a cer¬ tainty   before   the   coming   of   spring. Nothing ha.s  occurred   in  the  time  that has elapsed since that visit to invalidate the Chancellor's grave warning.    To the contrary,   the    National-Socialist   Partj in Germany, instead of declining in in- Ihiencc, has not ceased to grow in num¬ bers and strength.   So confident, in fact, do the Nazi cliiefs feel about the imme¬ diate  future that they have in advance proceeded  to  a  division   of   the  cabinet roles.    Herr  Philip  Roseii!)crg.  Hitler's chief  lieutenant, an  e.^lremely able man who may be called the tactician of the Nazi  moycmciit,  is visiting the chancel¬ lories of London and Paris to confer on certain    pliases    of    Germany's    foreign policy, as if he were already occupying the chair of the late Dr. Stresemann. At the  same  time  the   "Drummer" himself has gone to Rome like a reigning chief of state to call on Benito Mus.^olini. 50% of Reich Support Him? In the meantime adhesions to the Nazi party ilovv in uninterruptedly at the va¬ rious "Brown Houses," so that the boast of   Hitler that nearly   fifty  per  cent of the voters of the Reich may be counted upon to support him, even if it contains an  clement  of   cxaggcratioii,   cannot  be BO very far from the truth.    The Social Democratic   party  concedes   that   Hitler Would poll about f6rty per cent of the total votes.    In other words a man dis¬ posing   of   so   formidable   an   array   of votes can not possibly be kept out of the Government, eitlier as a participant or as a sole detainer of power and Europe had better prepare for a Hitler victory with¬ in the next few months.    No sensational Mussolinescjue   march   on   Berlin   need now !be  expected   or'is.now  necessary, Hiller will attain power without a coup d' etat ar a "Putsch."    .Tre very insti¬ tutions of democracy which he despises so deeply will  carry him  into the seats of.the mighty.   Moreover, time ia work- :*\g for Herr Adolph.   And time happens to be equipped witb wings on this occa- iSion;   the   terrible   wings   of  destitution and mass-misery.    The German  people hac  come   to   a   point  where  they  are frankly desperate and are ready, to take a fatal leap into the unknown with Hitler or any other demagogue who promises a   quick  way   out   from   the   economic wilderness.     Germany's , experiment    in democracy is about to end up in. Csesar- ism.    But what of the new Cresar?
It is foolish to go on affirming blandly that Hitler is a sort of super-hot-air artist, a man without a program, an irre¬ sponsible demagogue who could easily be set aright by the first liberal'journalist who comes along. When Hitler says that the German people are not forever going to bend under the yoke of stag¬ gering reparation payments, he puts into words what every party leader in Ger- maiiy would like to say openly but dares not. To be sure, all of them, from' Herman Mueller to Stresemann, Wirth, Trevianus and Bruening have proclaimed Germany's desire to live, up to the ob¬ ligations imposed by the successive rep¬ aration ¦ conferences that have followed the initial "Diktat" of Versailles. But everyone of them knew that this would be impossible.. Just as impossible as changing the proverbial Ethiopian's skin. Hitler has said this outright. And that is wherein lies his appeal to the careworn and. exhausted masses of the Fatherland. To begin with, as iiKifcative of a change in program, it must haye been noticed that the foremost ' Hitlerite spokesmen, while lately being rather, lo¬ quacious in tbe presence of foreign cor¬ respondents have nevertheless scrupu¬ lously refrained from mentioning the Jewish question. This was no mere over¬ sight. The prograni of the first hour of Nazism summed up in the cryptic-bar¬ barian cry : "Juden 'Raus I" is apparently (Continued on page 4)

Rabbi    Zelizer    Announces
Important   Address   (or
Friday, Feb, Sth
"The World's Greatest Need—A Sen¬ sitiveness to Wrong" is Rahbi Nathan Zelizer's subject of his sermon Friday, February Trth, at 8 p. m. at the East Broad Street Temple. The purpose of this sermon is to emphasize that the ex¬ periences from which we have suflfered in the past should develop in us a sensi¬ tiveness to wrong and should cultivate a hatred of inflicting similar suffering upon others. Unfortunately, history proves that many individuals or groups who clamored most for the principles of jus¬ tice and freedom, were not very eager to |iractice it when opportunity was given them.
Rabbi Zelizer will point to such prob¬ lems as war, wealth and national In¬ trigue which so vitally affect present day life. A realization of this principle would make the individual a better co- operator in the planet wide enterprise of achieving a humanized social order.
You and your friends are cordially in¬ vited to regale yourself at this-intellec¬ tual discourse.

East Broad St. Temple Will
Launch Membership Drive
February 4th
Teams OrRanized for Intensive Cam¬ paign Which  Begins Next Thursday
Organization   plans   haye   been   com¬ pleted  for a drive  for  members to be known as "The Rabbi Zclizer Class" and which is to be presented to him with for¬ mal ceremony at a later date.   This drive is being conducted witb the aim of hon- ming   Kabbi   Nathan   Zelizer   of   New York   City,   who   has   recently   assumed the  spiritual  leadcr.stiip of  this Temple. Frank   V.   Bayer,   Cliairman   of   this drive, has announced that this campaign will   be  one  of  the  most  intensive ever undertaken  in  this city,, and  that it  is tlic  fond hope of the drive workers and ibe   Congregation   al   large   to   increase the nienibersbip of tliis Temple to three hundred   members.     He   further   stated that  facts and  figures as disclosed at a recent   Trustees'   meeting   indicate   that the Temple is in a very satisfactory fi¬ nancial condition, but that the only need vvas for more members,so as to provide^ for'more  new  and  varied  rehgious and social activities.    Because of this satis¬ factory financial condition of the Tem¬ ple, s/>efial ammgcnicnts as to dues have, been   put-into  efFect  during   this  drive, so tbat those who have been previously unable to join because of the high finan¬ cial  requirements, may now avail  them¬ selves of membership in this Temple with all   privileges—religious, and   social,   inr cludituj seats for lite High Holidays.
The drive is to be actively conducted by two teams, known as the Red Team and Bhic Team. The Red Team is to be captained by Dr. B. W. Abramson, , Vice .President of the. Temple and Presi¬ dent of the Zionist Organization of ^o- , hiinbus, assisted by. a team of twenty workers. The activities of the Blue Team will be captained and conducted by Harry Gilbert, popular shoe mer¬ chant and civic, worker, who will also be abfaisteri by a team of cf/iial number. Each captain is very confident of-victory in tbis elTort and they are determined to bring honor to "their Temple and their team. .
Tbis membership campaign will have the cooperation of all members of the Brotherhood, Senior and Junior Sister¬ hoods of'Tifereth Israel who Ifave been inspired by the vision of greater Xen}l>Ie membership which will be a credit and a source of joy to all Coluinbus Jewry.
Trustees of the Temple have an¬ nounced an award of a beautiful wrist watch as a prize to the worker on either team or to any member of the Temple organization at large, bringing in the greatest number of new members ffiiring this drive which will continue over a duration of three months, and which will formally begin on next Thursday, Feb- . ruary -1th. At that time a great mass meeting of the Brotherhood; Senior and Junior Sisterhoods and menibers of the Congregation will be held. Final in¬ structions will be delivered and a pep- send-off meeting will be held at which time an address fitting for the occasion will be delivered by Stockton Rayniond, secretary of the Community Fund and executive director of the Coun¬ cil of Social Agencies. Several profes¬ sional stage and radio entertainers will be secured for the event and tasty re¬ freshments will also be served hy the Sisterhood.
Mr. I. H. Schlesinger, President of the Tifereth Israel Temple, has an¬ nounced a cash priie of $10.00 to be awarded to any member of the Temple or any of its auxiliaries or any. team worker bringing in the greatest number of new members..
lihthusiasm is rampant among all the workers and according to all indications, unbounded success ia expected as a re¬ sult of this drive. All tean;i workers are requested to attend a short meeting in the Committee Meeting Rooms of the Teinple shortly before the scheduled mass meeting to receive further pros- ¦ pects and final instructions.
Members of the Congregation, Broth¬ erhood, Senior and Junior Sisterhoods are urged to be present at this mass meeting, Thursday, February 4th, at 8:00 o'clock P. M. in the social hall of the Temple.
