The Jewish herald. (Houston, Tex.) 1908-1914, 1910-02-24

Shakespeare holds up the Jew as in
sisting upon his pound of flesh, believ-
ing in the strict letter of the law, sub
ordinating mercy to push.
Another Jewish dramatist of note
was Samuel B. H. Judah. He was born
in New York in 1899, of an old Colon
ial Jewish family, who had settled in
wrote a melodrama in 1920, called "The
Mountain Torrent" which was pro
duced at the Park Theatre that same
wear. He also wrote another melo-
drama, "The Rose of Aragon' This
was produced at the same theatre and
was followed by another play "The
Tale of Lexington"

Out of an array of twenty-siX famous
soloists in Chicago, we find thirteen
Jews, exactly SO per cent. Perhaps
this may seem untrue, nevertheless the
following are among them: Mrs. Zeis-
Ter, NJ Zukowski, Mile. Nero, Miss
Elvyn, Nile. Miranda Madam Olitzka
and Master Bron.
When it came to the organization of
the Chicago Philharmonic Orchestra,
it was Jew who volunteered to build
an orchestra with very little financial
backing, having as it's aim an organiza-
ton which would be we'll nigh per
feet. That man was Chew. Emanuel,
a man who was brought to this coun-
try by Hammerstein and who was
responsible for the most pretentious
of the Henry Savage operate efforts.
And who rallied to the support of
Chev. Emmanuel? Two-thirds ofthe
organization are Jews, and as a result,
it is second to none

Now, let us take few of the late
plays
The English novelist's (Israel Gang
wild great play, "The Melting Pot"
was first produced in Washington and
was commented upon by the following:
Oscar S. Strauss said: "a great
play; the feat of a genius
Jacob H. Schiff said: "Conditions
concerning the making of the Amer
lean, can not be more forcibly por-
trayed'
But there is something curious about
"The Melting Pot" After brilliant
opening in Washington and long
season of success in Chicago, it has
been very coldly received in New York.
Then we have The House Next
Door" and while the scene is laid in
England it is roughly applicable to
conditions in this country 1T is an
odd kind of play, the cast being diveded
between the Cottswold and the Jacob
son families Sir John Cottswold's
son, Cecil, is an opera singer, and Sir
John hates to have his son come in
contact with Jewish impresarios, and
the fact that they come to his house
is quite intolerable to him. Cecil
pleads for the Jews, pointing out that
his fathers favorite music on the piano
is by Myerbeer Mendlesohn, Schubert
and Strauss. When Sir John asks for
a song, Cecil sings one Of Heine's. In
answer to his fathers explosion of
wrath, the boy reminds him that his
own political idol is D'Israeli the Earl
of Beaconsfield, whose portrait hangs
on the wall Down comes the Semitic
portrait Meanwhile Slf isaac Jdcsoh'
M. p, who lives in THE House Next
Door," has acquired a mortgage over
the ancestral home in which Sir John
is facing poverty 1t turns out that
Cecil falls in love with Sir Isaac's
daughter, Esther, and his sister in love
with Sir Isaacs son, Adrian. Sir John
calls on Sis Isaac about the mortgage
and finds his son and daughter both
there before him. But he can not
