B. H. ARNOLD NEW SECRETARY
OF MINNEAPOLIS ZIONIST
DISTRICT.


At meeting of the Administrative
Committee of the Zionist Organization
held at the Dyckman hotel Tuesday aft
ernoon, Mr.. B. H.. Arnold was chosen
as secretary of the Minneapolis District.
Mr.. Arnold, while only a newcomer
to this city, has already shown his pub
lie spirit by actively affliating himself
with the various Jewish organizations
of Minneapolis. Up to the outbreak of
the war, Mr.. Arnold for a good many
years was engaged in the Public Prac-
tice of Accounting in New York. Al
though a busy man, he always found
time to take an active part in the Zion
ist movement and in many other Jewish
philanthropic and educational institu-
tons. He was the first secretary of the
First Zionist Council of Greater New
York when it was organized in 1905.
When the United States entered the war
Mr.. Arnold gave up his practice, and in
common with many other Jewish young
men and women, offered his services to
the Government. He was gratefully &C
cepted and placed on the staff of experts
of which Mr. Alfred Brandeis, brother
of Justice Louis D. Brandeis, was chief.
Before many months had passed Mr..
Arnold was made a special agent in
charge of staff of accountants and ex-
aminers. During his association with
the administration, he handled some of
the large profteering cases and won dis
tinction in the able performance of his
duties and is now the possessor of let
tiers of commentator from Mr.. Bran
deis and many others. At the compile
ton of his assignments several months
ago, Mr.. Arnold found himself in Min
neapolis 1t did not take him long to get
acquainted and make friends, and as
result he decided to make this city his
home. He resumed the public practice
of accountancy as member of the firm
of Arnold, Mold & Co., with offices in
the Andrus building.
Another fortunate addition to the
committee is Mr.. Samuel Figen of this
city. Mr. Figen is SO we'll known as
Zionist full of genuine Jewish spirit that
he needs no further introduction.
The committee, with the new enthu-
siasm injected, hopes to do much for the
cause of Zion during the coming season.
Several of the matters discussed were
the organization of Junior Zionist club,
to comprise all the young men and
women of this city, to assist the parent
organization in carrying out its elaborate

A Great and Absorbing Drama is
THE MELTING POT"
Which Will be Staged at the Shubert
Next Week.
Israel Zangwill, whose play, "THE
MELTING POT" will be revived at the
Shubert theatre next week starting Sun
day, November 80, is known throughout
the world as one of the leaders of the
Jewish race.
Reared by humble parents and brought
up among the novels of the ghetto Of
London, Zangwill by sheer force Of
perseverance, gained an education and
started upon his career as writer. Ills
career has been picturesque i'll the ex-
IRENE.
The Minneapolis Players will do full
justice to his play, 'THE MELTING
POT" drama that has enriched dra-
matte literature, is at once realistic and
idealistic, and pulsates with tragedy,
poetry and philosophy.
1t is drama of the present, knitting
closely different nations, widely separat-
ed in ideals and racial sympathies, and
is explained we'll in a speech spoken by
David Quixano, the principal character:
"America is Gods crucible, the great
melting pot, where the races of Europe
are fusing and reforming, Italian and
Frenchmen Irishmen and Englishmen,
Jews and Russians-into the crucible
with you all. God is making the Amcri-
can"
The hero of the play is young Jewish
boy, musical genius who has fled from
the barbarous prosecutions of Russia.
After passing through the appalling
massacre at Kishinef, losing all of his
immediate kim he has come to America,
and is welcomed by his relatives, who
have preceded him.
The family into which he enters is
that of an uncle, Mandel Quixano, semi
progressive, slightly Americanized,
whose aged mother lives in the forgot
ten centuries, hugging racial supersti-
tons and institutions. The home pre-
sents model of patriotism, for over the
door is draped the Stars and Stripes, and
on the walls are portraits Of famous
Americans.
David becomes an ardent Americana;
he undertakes the self-chosen mission Of
amalgamating the heterogeneous nation
alities and races and making them all
Americans Imbued with this spirit, he
spends most of his time upon an Ameri-
can symphony in which the spirit of
America is interpreted, and later achieves
fame through this composition.
