JEWS HPLAYERS
HIT At BELASCO

| Nine. Fannie Thomashefsky and
| her alI-star cast of Jewish players
scored a big hit with Washington
lovers OF the Jewish comedy plays
in "MaZel Tow Yidelech" at the Be-
lasco Theater last night.
"Mazel Tow Yidelech" has been de-
scribed as one of the most success
full Jewish musical comedies pro-
duced in America in years. 1t has a
run OF unprecedented success. The
production goes to Baltimore tomor-
row after a lay-off of a day in Wash
iington.
The story concerns a Russian SOL
der who is discharged because of
blindness and sent home. When he
leaves the train at his village he
gropes his way blindly in the direc-
ton of the humble house which his
family had called home before the
beginning of the war. He falls by
the wayside. and a traveller tells him
the home is no more. that his wife and
child have disappeared and that there
has been no life in the village since
| 1t was overrun by the Austrian
armies.
Seeks Family In America.
The soldier, a musician by profess
sion, obtains a position in a nearby
Russian city. earns money and sets
out in his blinded state to find his
wife and child. He is told they have
gone to America.
Arriving in New York he sets out
on what seems a hopeless task-to
find his loved ones in the maze of
the metropolis streets.
His wife. who has come to America
after she supposed her husband killed
in battle, has married a physician.
Through one of the tricks Of fate the
musician is led to the doctor by Rus
slams who take an interest in his
welfare and the doctor attempts to
restore his sight.
1t is here the wife recognizes in the
blind war hero her husband of the
days before war. She pleads with
her doctor husband to restore his
sight. This he does. the doctor re-
leases his wife from her marriage
obligations and the two who were
separated by war are united again.
In spite of the tragic trend of the
play, it abounds in wholesome COM
edy. Fourteen musical numbers,
featuring the popular Jewish songs,
are included in the offering. Nine.
Thomashefsky plays the role of the
niece of the American physician
whose affections are sought by the
the doctors chauffeur. a worthy fell
low. and a spendthrift nephew by
marriage.
In the end, after many bestowaIs
of presents by the contending suitors,
the chauffeur wins out. Nine.
Thomashesky scored a big personal
hit in this number. Sam Lovenwort,
comedian, was also accorded a mer-
tied recognition

HERE'S NEW INDUSTRIAL MIX
Germans Insist on Holiday Work,
Then Strike When Troops
Arrive.

q Berlin.-Possibly the strangest de-
velopment yet found in the German
Industrial situation has appeared at
the aniline dye works. located at Wolf
en-, near HOLE.
Workers there demanded the privi-
Iege of remaining at their posts on
German Memorial day, and when the
firm refused to permit this the work
men to the number of 400 forced their
way into the Office of the director and
compelled him to keep the plant open.
Gustav Noske, minister of defense,
fearing troubles sent brigade of
troops to Wolfen, whereupon the work
ers struck because Of the fact that
martial law was imposed by the pres
ence Of the troops.
Employees of the electric plant at
Ritterfeld, near Wolfen, which sup
plies Berlin with current, have struck
in sympathy with the men at Wolfen,
so that Berlin is threatened with loss
