The protest was in the form of

to colored people the use of the

WAR ON JAZZ AND

Paris Purity League T.-:sy to
Stamp Out Signs That Are
Unhealthful.

Paris. Nov. 30. - Partisan society
has been split asunder as a result Of
the jazz" craze that has been
sweeping the capital ever since the
war came to an end and Paris be-
came gay again. A campal sn
against Jazz" has been stimulated
by Cardinal Annette. and under his
personal direction the staid aris-
tocracy has declared open war on
the futurist set, headed by Princess
Eugene Murat. Princess BrogIio

Grand Duchess Anastasia, who have
done their utmost to popularize the
latest freakish form Of terpsichorean
The new league also denounces the
''pajama parties" started by Gaby
Deslys and her devotees, including
some of the best known members Of
the Paris smart set. At these par
ties the men appear in pajamas while
the women are attired in tricolor gar
ments Of silk fringed with gold.
The new purity league" declares
that the development of such bizarre
entertainments is an unhealthy sign
and should be ruthlessly suppressed
along with the excessive decollete
gowns and bare legs, and cleaner
and saner diversions should take their
place.
Princess Murat tonight defended
'jazzing" as well as other futurist
amusements. saying:

Springfield. ILL.,. Nov. 3o.-John L
Lewis. acting president Of the United
Mine Workers of America, said today
there was no possibility of sectional
agreements between miners and oper-
ators. He declined to comment or
the coal strike in general. He said
he would go to Indianapolis Tuesday
or Wednesday.
There is no possibility OF making
sectional agreements between the op-
orators and miners at the present
time" Mr.. Lewis SAID. The action
of the government fuel administra-
ton in prohibiting a higher price for
coal precludes the possibility of any
such agreement"

however, is so well done that many
of the Gentle theatres may envy US.
We have read very much about the
Jewish diaspora, and exclusion of the
Jews are we'll known to everyone who
has ever studied or read our history;
but when you see Reicher's first scene
of an expulsion, on the stage, it is then
really that you see what a Jewish ex-
pulsion is.
Unfortunately, the Art Theatre in
the meantime is not doing good bust
ness; and it is believed that Reicher's
talent as a stage director is beginning
to be recognized in the motion picture
circles, which could afford to appro-
pirate a member of President Will
sons cabinet (McAdoo), and God only
knows whether Jewish stage direc-
tor will be able to resist the tempta-
ton of the movies" should they pro-

art, but he seeks to attract himself
not only the artistic pieces, but also
the more capable actors. Miss Valera,
Gentle, has played in the Yiddish
tongue in Schwartz's theatre and has
provoked the enthusiasm of the pub
lie. And now there has arrived in
Schwartz's theatre q young artist
from Europe, Abraham Teitelbaum,
who recently played with great sue
cess in the Jewish theatres of wilma
and Warsaw.
And if there is prosperity in the
Jewish theatres there is also joy
among the Jewish actors. They have
now received a raise in their salaries
and the minimum salary Of a Jewish
actor is now $4,000 per week. Up to
a short time ago the Jewish stage had
actors, who looked forward to $4,000
a week, and they could only hope for
that during forty weeks of the year.

OUR WEEKLY LETTER FROM
NEW YORK.
Trouble with the Ukrainian Commits
siOn-Operettas in the Jewish
Theatres-Will the "MOvies"
Take Away From the
Jewish Stage a
Great Force?

Is TO 60 TO Cne ukraine TO investigate
the pogroms are not running as
smoothly as was expected at the be-
ginning. The commission was selected
that not all members of the Joint
Distribution Committee, however, will
get the permission to send the Com
mission, whose members will wear
the American uniform to show that
they are under the protection of the
United States government.
Now the difficulty begins. The Uk-
raine has no government which is rec
ognized by America. The Jewish COM
mission will therefore have to use
much tact and assume a great res
possibility, in the performance of its
tasks there in order not to create any
diplomatic difficulties; and it appears
that not all all members of the Joint
Distribution Committee favor all the
delegates selected by the Union.
They argue that if the Joint Dis
tribution Committee must be response
bic to the State Department for this
Commission, there should be sent to
the Ukraine men who meet with the
approval of the Joint Distribution
committee and not the Union.
We must admit, however, that the
Commission should be composed of
men who are we'll acquainted with the
Ukraine and are familiar with the life
and conditions there. Several men,
bers of the Commission have these
qualifications and it would be pity
if they should drop out of the COM
mission.
The Union Of Ukrainian Jews would
feel stronger in its attitude toward
the Commission if it were rich enough
to finance the Commission and did not
have to depend on outside help.
In the Jewish theatres the operettas
are enjoying great prosperity. "The
Rabbits Melody" at the Second Ave-
nue. Theatre is competing with "The
Sacred Song" at Thomashefsky's the
atre; and both operattas are played to
crowded houses.
The operettas, however, are being
performed only for the so-called "Sat-
urday public" They are played only
on Saturday and Sunday. While mid
week you may see drama as in the
old times in the past seasons.
In our New York theatres a NINA
ture "aristocracy" is gradually in the
making. There are theatres which
want to perform artistic plays ex-
clusively, and want to have nothing
to do with sensational melodrama. The
theatre that heads those who want to
perform in art plays alone, is natur-
ally the Art Theatre, whose director
is Emanuel Reicher. He began with
Peretz Hirshbein, and has during the
short time of his theatres existence
shown US Hauptman's "Lonely Peo-
ple," several literary one-act plays,
and is now performing Pinsky's "The
Dumb Messiah" in which Emauel Rel
cher himself plays the role of the
Dumb Messiah.
Unless we are mistaken, it is Rel
cher's first appearance as an actor in
the Jewish Theatre. His role as q
dumb Messiah gives him very little
opportunity to show his ability, and
we ourselves cannot therefore get an
idea Of his ability because his role is
q mute one. His staging Of play,
