Before Pleasure" the sem
'Business sational Eltinge Theater
Before comedy success coming to
Pleasure" the Orpheum on Saturday
night, has written an ar
ticle on the Jew and Gentle question
for the American Magazine, in which
he says: ..
"'The fact is. that no matter what
people may say about the Jews. it
also applies to the Gentiles. Taking
1t by and large, the family life of the
Gentiles is very beautiful and l ad-
mire you for it, but never until now
did deem it a duty to tell you so.
On the contrary, any reasonable Jew
would avoid telling you so, for fear
you would think that what he really
had in mind was your preponderating
Objectionable characteristics, which,
of course, existed only in his imagi-
nation. In other words, that he was
pointing out to you your only vir-
tue. ,.
"The intelligent Jew, however, re-
| CARDS all of you Gentiles as being
Jews-persons possessing all the good
and bad qualities of himself ano
| prejudice than against his own
brother 1t is the only feasible plan
in default of which Jew might find
himself cherishing a prejudice against
someone he thinks is a Gentle ano
who in reality is Jew. or vice versa.

stock and William Elliott. in produc-
| ing "Oh, Boy" have assembled a cast

balanced. Guy Bolton and P. g. Wode-
house have written book that car
ries real comedy and a delightful
story, while the music is by Jerome
/ Kern and is considered the best Of
many scores.
"Oh, Boy" is said to have MOOD
of merrment and the music sets one

| clared 1t to be very much more de-
| lightful than Nobody Home" or VERY
Good, Eddie"
