THOUGHTS

By CHARLES U. JOSEPH Eighteen thousand dollars a year for a Conservative Rabbi! That will make American Jewry stop ami think.

For /eaxs, many, many years, Pabbis of the traditional school had long given up hope that their field would ever be as remunerative as that of their Reform brothers. In fact, it is Well known that because of the limited opportunity in the Orthodox and Con-! servative Congregations from a financial standpoint, some Rabbis either left the pulpit for other fields of endeavor and. may we whisper, even essayed to occupy Reform pulpits.

But all this is changing and now with the news that $18,000 will be the salary of Rabbi Solomon Goldman, of Cleveland, who has.accepted a call to become Rabbi of Congregation Anshe Ernes of Chicago. . . ' ....

the originator of the plan to outlaw war, which found its fruition in the Kellogg Peace .Pact. I Delieved that Mr. Rosenwald had rendered extraordinary service to every phase of Jewish life in this country, and equally had enhanced the prestige of the Jew as' a progressive-minded citizen of the nation, and a believer in the brotherhood of man by going beyond the boundaries of his own people in promoting the welfare of society at large.

AFTER PLAYS ANNOUNCED SITUATION IN RUSSIA

Closing the Community Center House Council and Dramatic Club activities, for the season will-be the presentation on Sunday, June 19, of three one-act plays which will be followed by a dance at the Center Auditorium. * "Several members of the Dramatic Club are directing the plays.

•'Silence Please," the first of the plays, is a clever comedy concerning the family, life of a man and wife who cannot agree upon the proper way to limit their conversation in their home.

They agree, however,"upon a wager of a fur coat against a month's dishwashing to decide whether or not each is able to keep quiet for half an hour.

When the guests arrive unexpectedly the fun begins. Of course the proper party wins the wager.

The cast is composed of Miss Ida Upton as "Julia," Miss Rose Rife as "Delinda," Miss Sara Baird as "Madge," and Jack Slotsky as "DarrelL" The second play, "The Flash," is a dramatic mystery play with a surefire ending. A well chosen cast composed of Is Idberman as "Kenneth," Dave Albert as "Joe," and Morris Merlin "The Doctor," will produce this play.

"Albert Bell," a nineteen year old "her: man" has no time for girls or dates until Hazel Henderson appears on the scene as his sister's guest.

The change that comes over Albert is astonishing, but he makes a good tennis 'player as well as a good baseball player, the play reveals. !

"Hazel Henderson" is played by Miss Rose Bennan, Alfred Albert plays "Albert Bell," Miss Mildred Sirkin, "Sylvia Bell"; Jack Slotsky, "Philip Flick," and Miss Ruth Wigodsky, "Mra, Bell."

Sovel Heshelow, Miss Ida Heshelow and Miss Eva'Gordon are directing the plays under the* general direction of Miss Florence Coates.

P. UDITCH COMING TO ADDRESS LOCAL WORKMEN^ CIRCLE

"MOTHER* AND "UNION PRAYER BOOF SUBJECTS OF RABBIS'SERMONS Rabinowitz Urges Remembrance of One's Duties to Mother LEWIS DISCUSSES PRAYER In a sermon on "Mother, a Priceless Gem," Rabbi H. R. Rabinowitz Friday evening spoke of the many duties, privileges and expectations of mother and children.

Honoring mother in every way, the Rabbi spoke at length on the beauty of a mother's day not only for one day of the year, but for every day.

"We need," saidHabbi Rabinowitz, "no congressional direction to remind mother of her children. She has her children always in her-heart, hoping always for them. Let us, as children, remember our mother always. Should we put away this wonderful gem to be seen only occasionally, we lose its value to ourselves and to its self."

Rabbi T. N-, Letfis, on Friday, spoke on "Our Prayer Book." Tracing the history and evolution of the reformed prayer book, Rabbi Lewis stated that the Union Prayer book which is now being used is very similar to the old sedar, with the exception that it is shifter. "The reason," said the BabbV*'ihafc we use, the prayer book is;to give us a chance t© express ourselses. , It is for ourselves, for our own benefit that we. pray. It, is the relief we feel after, a communion, with God. Praying should not ask for any material gain for the individual. We should feel when we pray, tkat we are having a conversation, a. communion with God. Our answer is felt within us." .

Services for Friday, May 17, will be conducted in the regular manner.

Rabbi Lewis wUl speak OH -"Good Will." The subject of Rabbi RabV inowiti's sermon will be "For the Sake of God."

BENEFIT PERFORMANCE OF PASSION PLAY FOR JEWISH CLUB REFUSED Jewish Theatrical Guild Rejects Proposal of Morris Gest GENTILE PROTESTS PLAY New York.—(J. T. A.)—Loney Haskell, secretary of the Jewish Theatrical Guild, confirmed the report current in Broadway circles that Morris Gest offered the Guild a benefit performance of the Freiburg Passion Play, but that the association of Jewish actors on the Broadway stage rejected the proposal.

A rumor to the effect that some members of the Guild will take steps to bring about Mr. Gesfs exclusion from the association was categorically denied. "I have heard nothing of any such move," Mr. Haskell stated.

To the protest of Jewish leaders against the Passion Play production, there was added the protest of the Rev. Edward L. Hunt, director of America's Good Will Union, of which the Rev. Dr. S. Parkes Cadman is the honorary president and Justice Arthur S. Tompkins of the Supreme Court of New York is president.

Rev. Hunt, in a communication to the Jewish Daily Bulletin, making reference to the statement by Mr. Marshall, "I expect to hear what out Christian friends have to say," declared: : "In response to the leader in Israel who is held in equally high esteem by all Christians who know him, I fee! sure that the vast majority of Christians and of decent Americans deplore the Passion Play presentation at the Hippodrome."

Terming the producers "Judas twins", Rev. Hunt declares: "Judas sold Jesus for thirty pieces of silver.

His American twins have raised the price. Judas had the redeeming decency to hang himself when he saw the approaching crucifixion. If Morris Gest and David Belasco come to see the hideous horror of commercializing the agonies of the loyal patriot Jew who won the love of his people but brought on him the murderous hate of the corrupt ecclesiastical politicians who had the power at that time, and of the brutal Roman tyrants —if these Judas twins come to see the hideous horror of commercializing the latent anti-Semitism, that loathesome leprosy which has blighted Europe for centuries with its contagion, and which we hoped the pure air of the United States would cure—if they

THE FAMILY I

SK6rt:Story

grnot -the • oldest, Alex Kramerj-fe^iidpr, regarded himself as the hgad afh:tfce family. The Kramers,r%cfp, looked upon Uncle Alex as the finJil arbiter and port of first call in tiiae of trouble or need.

Seja^ed at his . mahogany desk in the private office of the suite behind the door which bore the words, A. Kramer^T-Attorney, Alex Kramer's high^.i)aiiivforehead was wrinkled in perplejdtjv Before him lay a letter fromtrhis-1 nephew, Milton. For the third time" Milton wrote he would have to have an increase in his allowance. He did not put it so bluntjy, of course. That would 4iot be,like a Kramer. He wrote it was increasingly difficult for him to live-on the funds his uncle was supplying, so wouldn't it be a better idea to cojue back home and go to work? .After all, was Uncle.Alex sure Milton was cut out.to be a lawyer? : ..

Alex Kramer swung around in his chair, called his stenographer Miss Green, and dictated a letter to Milton.

When he had -gone to law. schoflt, he wrote, he had worked his way through standing long hours behind the CJUIIter in an all-night lunchrooml- But Milton was not to think that his'uncle did not realize that times had changed.

He" would instruct his bookkeeper to add to the alloawnce and. Milton" was to remember that at all.times his uncle was eager to hear how. he was getting on. Signing, ^Alex . Kramer nodded that the letter was finished. .•An. empty request, he knew. For Milton would not write again, itnless with a special request. After all there was a limit.. .

• The morning sun streamed into the office, building a bridge from sill tD floor. Alex Kramer -watched the bright rays as he thought. Well he knew that Milton was not fired with ambition, that he consented to go to college and law school merely to dodge work as long- as possible. But the fire of ambition which had kindled years before in Alex Kramer's flat grey eyes was not dimmed; Already be visualised the new name on.the doorway—Kramer and Kramer; ; Ah, that Milton had been -a different lad, one to gratify his uncle's dream! Or that there had been another son in the second generation ; of Kramers, which abounded, in nieces, the trial of each of the three Mrs. Kramers, Mrs. Philip Solomon (nee Anna Kramer) and the responsibility of Uncle,Alex.

His dreams were interrupted by the entrance of Miss Green. With. an apologetic grunt, Alex acknowledged that it was time to settle down, to work by. drawing toward him the neatly opened but unread morning mail. "Your brother is here, Mr. Kramer." . :Alex did not have to ask-which brother. He knew. "All right," he said.

Harry Kramer stood in the doorway. Grey, bowed with cares, he seemed to be rumpling into his baggy trousers. He stood timidly awaiting permission to, enter. Alex growled a greeting. It cut him that his own brother, older than he, should be so cowed, so humble. ...••'•'.-..

Harry came quickly to. the. desk, steadied a trembling hand on the glass top.. "I suppose you know I've got a note to pay today," he began without preliminary. _ • "I don't keep a record .of your notes. My bookkeeper only takes care of" my business."

"Well, I've got to pay it. If you didn't take away my Milton, and send him to college, I'd have somebody home to help me. I wouldn't have to • come begging to you." .

Alex looked up. In his older brother's eyes he read defiance and envy.

He knew that Harry felt Alex had usurped his place,.the position of head of the family. Yet even while the feeling prevailed, here }te saw, himself asking the aid for which all the members came to Alex. . ..'.'.•". .•'.

Milton's a lot like you, Harry., Won't you be proud of your boy when he graduates a lawyer?" . ...'.,• Harry went away with a check, but the smoldering blaze of envy was still in his eyes. And Alex settled down to work. There was an important brief for him to prepare besides the mass: of correspondence which he had not yet tackled. Until noon he worked, uninterrupted except for business.

Then, a young voice pleaded with him over the telephone.

"Oh, Uncle Alex, this is Dorothy, Dorothy Solomon. Don't you want to take me out to lunch?"

A murmured expostulation that lie "was busy brought a ready response.

"Then,it's lucky I called." Otherwise, you wouldn't take time to eat. I'm downstairs in your building. I'll be right up. Goodbye."

It developed over : the luncheon table in an exclusive downtown restaurant, which Alex had never: heard of but to which Dorothy guided him unerringly, that her motive in calling had been anything but charitable; Quite the contrary. Her cousin-Dora Kramer had gotten a new fur coat.
