The finished product is expected to be of Broadway first-run house calibre.. .The British film, "The iWandering Jew," by the way, was turned down by the Roxy Theatre because Howard S. Cullman, receiver of the house, felt that Jewish audiences would be unfavorably im¬ pressed by the picture of the Jew pre-r sentedin this production... Nazi Notes Germany exiled Max Pallenberg. her greatest comedian, because.he was a Jew, but Czechoslovakia has put up a memo¬ rial tablet at the airport where he was killed in a crash some months ago... Playwright S. N. Behrman spends his spare time writing letters of reproach to people whose names appear on the pas¬ senger lists of Nazi-owned steamers... Dr. Marie Pichel Levinson, only Ameri¬ can to deliver an address ' before the International Medical Women's Associ¬ ation Congress held at Stockholm re¬ cently, reports that the exclusively: Aryan German -Medical Women's Association was denied admhtance to the inteirna tional body because the latter permits no religious or political bias...Beef¬ steak Nazis—brown outside but red in¬ side—are said to be the latest political phenomenon in Hitlerland; from which we gather that at least the Communists are still working against Hitler.. .Hanns Heinz Ewers, German author revered by the Nazis, is trying hard to live down the disgrace of having been the editor of the German edition of his friend Is¬ rael Zangwill's works.,,Did you ever hear that ingenious theory, born of a German (not Jewish) brain, which main¬ tains, that the Germans and the Jews are racially consangtiinous and cites, as proof, such philological similarities as the words "Tent'' and "David" (Daud), not to mention "Jtida" and "Thiuda" (the latter beiiig the Osigoth term for "Chosen People")?"...

Day of Atonement ''Yom Kip¬ pur" Begins Tuesday Eve.
The Day of Atonement or "Yoin Kip¬ pur," the tenth day of the month of Tisliri, begins at sunset Tuesday, Sep¬ tember 18 and ends at sunset Wednes¬ day, Seplcinbcr 19, The thought under¬ lying the day is expressed in the scriptural words, "Oil this day He will atone for you, to purify you from your sins." It is a day of reconciliation of man with his fellow man and with God, and comes as a climax to the holiday season which began Sunday evening, September 9 with the New Year's day and contimicd through the ten days of iwnitence.
The Day is the most solemn of all the days in the Jewish calendar. It is passed in  fasting  and  prayer.    The whole day
spent in, the synagogue. In the eve¬ ning there is the service which com¬ mences with the chanting of the well- known Kol Nidre prayer. The day proper lias four services. Of these the Mussaf or afternoon service contains description of the atonement rites as practical in the ancient days in the Tcm pie at Jerusalem; and the closing service is understood to be held at the time when traditionally decision is finally made as to man's fate, and thus these prayers instead of having the usual phrase, 'Tn- scribe us In the book of life,", use the expression; "Seal us in the book of life."
According to Jewish tradition ex¬ pressed in an ancient lawbook, the Day of Atonement, when spent In praying and repenting, will bring pardon for sins between man and God; but as for the sins committed by man against his fel¬ low man, the Day cannot bring pardon until he has become reconciled with his fellow man. This idea is the basis of the effort always made before the Day of Atonement to bring peace between members of a family or such friends who.have become estranged and are on unfriendly terms with one another; and in''this way, the Day achieves its pur¬ pose to put "the worshipper at peace not only with his Maker, but also with his fellow  Tfiaii.   -

Now comes the time of the year: Mr. and Mrs. A. Sebastian Levy must get up early on Sunday.    How pleasant it has been to linger long in their twin beds   on  all   the   Sundays   of   the   past    , sunimer.
On the first Sunday of June, Mrs.. Levy had given out a grateful sigh... Thank God, now we can sleep I" The Sunday school of the temple had closed for the season. What a burden the school had been on Mr. and Mrs. Levy all winter and through the spring 1 Promptly at 7 a. m. Mrs. Levy had had to get up every Sunday to make the children ready for the school;
In the time she was waking them, washing their faces, dressing them, pre¬ paring for breakfast, Mr. Levy liked to hover in bed-in that pleasant state be¬ tween dreaming and wakefulness. Out of this Mrs. Levy's voice always blasted him about 8 o'clock every Sunday morning: "Sebastian, it's time to get up to drive the children to school."
Mr.   Levy   turned   over, to  the   other side and immediately fell back into deli¬ cious drowsing, "Sebastian I"     ,
Mr. Levy's semi-conscious soul pro¬ tested: Why was this burden on him? He, busy as he was all week in the pants business, must get up, even on Sunday. There was no rest. He, with this and that on his mind...the decline of the pants market, the rise in pants button prices, the rebelliousness of the pants makers. ..must be up early even on Sunday. Was this a life? "Sebastian r
Mrs, Levy gave herself to Inward lamentation: Why was this on her? Always shel It was she who must get up at 7 o'clock. She who must make the children ready. Aiid he lies there I She must wake the children up to get ready 1
In fact, though she arose sharp at 7,"it wasn't until after eight that she could get them out bf bed.. ."Shirley I"../'Alger¬ non I",. ."Betty Jane!":. .She was almost hoarse from calling them,
"Shirley, you'll be late for Sunday schooll"

She had pulled their covers off, but they had not stirred except to fold their knees against their chests, the better to keep  warm,. "Shirley I" "Algernon!" "Betty Jane I"
And he was lying there...It was all on her... .Why didn't he take some of the

.Every Sunday I. ^ ."Sebastian!"
Oh, there was no rest for him...He arose, sat meditatively on the side of his bed, stretched.
"Sebastian!"
"I'm coming."
"It's about time... You try to wake them up I" .
Mr. Levy joined his voice to hers... "Shirley!" . . . ''Algernon!" , .. "Betty Jane!"
So, what with the one commanding . voice" and the other, tlie children were out of bed at 8:15 and in the 45 minutes that remained before the opening of Sun¬ day school, Mrs. Levy had to wash their . faces and, their ears, feed them, shine Algernon's shoes, sew a button on Betty Jane's dress, while Mr. Levy read the newspaper, until the moment they were ready to be driven to school.
"You just sit there," said Mrs. Levy, "Just' sit there. Everything's on my hands;, .everything." . At last they were ready...Mr. Levy went to his car, pressed the starter, pressed again.. .The children's faces glowed with anticipation...Mr. Levy's foot pounded the futile starter.. ."No gasl".. .The children's feet scarcely could restrain their pleasure...No gas, no Sunday school.

Now the period of miserable Sundays had come back after the surnmer, and Sunday school was opening again. How delicious had been the long Sunday morn¬ ings in bed...the vague dreaming, the happy stretching.
"Sebastian, it's time to get the children up for Sunday school."
Mr. Levy was deep in sleep, for it wasn't until one o'clock that he had come home from the bridge game.
