THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

A COMPLETE survey of the Jew
in the drama would take us
from Miriam with drum in
hand singing the deliverance of
Israel to Elmer E. Rice, engaged
IN producing melodramatic plays
ana Carmel Myers posing for the
screen. Of course, such a task
could be embodied in nothing short of
half dozen man-sized volumes.
With so much space at his command
the writer could review adequately the
place of the Jew in the ancient drama,
both in Hebrew and in alien tongues,
could pass the inactive dark centuries
after the fall of Rome, and could
pause to give few cha piers to the
Dutch drama. when the more
enlightened European peoples began
to busy themselves seriously with the
stage. He could devote the adequate
space the subject merits, to the dra-
matte efforts of such men and women
of the last century as Heinrich Heine,
Rachel Julius, Leopold Klein, Max
Nordau, Theodor Herzl, and many
others.
But limited to a few magazine
pages, the best one may hope to ac-
complish is to give glimpse of the
Jews of our own day who are in the
front ranks of the worlds dramatic
activities, showing them as play
wrights, actors, and producers both on
the Legitimate" stage and in the
movies. Incidentally few names of
those in the middle ranks or even at
the rear may find their way into this
article.
Adequate space, however, is not the
only difficulty. The stage, more per-
haps than any other field of human
endeavor, has tendency to efface all
prominent racial differences. Richard
Mansfield was perfect Anglo-Saxon,
and yet he is said to have had Jewish
blood in his veins. D'Annunzio, the
great Italian poet-dramatist, sis a
perfect Latin-and some say that he
has that blood in him which flowed in
the veins of King David and Spinoza,"
assures us Benjamin De Casseres in
the New York Times.
European Jewish Playwrights.
In the English-speaking world Is
rael Zangwill is perhaps best known
of all the Jewish playwrights. From
the first presentation on the stage of
his children of the Ghetto" to his
last drama which came to my atten-
ton, "The Next Religion" Zangwill

been written by any other highly gift
ed and prodigiously toiling English
man.
For Pinero knew Jewish life very
little. He started as ham actor in
Scotland. Then he took to writing
and wrote enough dramas whose titles
alone would fill a couple pages. For
number of years his work was of little
significance. Indeed, he had written
about five years before he won recog-
milton even among his friends. "The
Money Spinners," written in 1880, won
him approval from appreciative
friends and enough pecuniary returns
to make it possible for him to go on
with his work. But like a huge bird
at the beginning of it's flight, he took
long time Tapping his wings and
running along the ground. But once
he had risen he was soon far above
the clouds reaching higher and high
er till he had attained to the upper
most regions.
With the production of "The Second
Mrs. Tanqueray," in 1898 his fame
spread over the whole civilized world.
1t is an epoch-making drama and
marks the turning point not only of
English dramatic literature but of the
whole of Europe and of America. It's
author Immediately took his place
among the worlds greatest dramatists
Henrik Ihsen, Sudermann, Haup-
mann, Bjornson, Strindberg, An
dreyev. The drama struck a new
note, which gave potent stimulus to
playwrights and to producers. For the
life of the stage, especially in Eng
land, had been throttled by an accu-
mutation of outworn artifcialities and
soulless formulas. With the produc-
ton of this play the author has swept
them all out of existence as if by
magic brush, and has shown how an
honest and subtle technique coupled
with a real message were more valu-
able than all the gatherings Of the
critics, whose training prejudices
them against all that is new. can
electric thrill was communicated to
the whole theatrical life of Europe"
is the way the Encyclopaedia Britain
MICA puts it.
The Jew at the front ranks among
the French playrights today is Henri
Bernstein. He is Rumanian by birth,
naturalized in France. Ever since the
production of his play, "Le Marche,"
in 1901, he has been recognized among
the masters of the land. But he had
to contend against fearful odds

We are reprinting on this page
an excellent editorial from the

airy, The Roanoke Chowan Times,
in regard to the second guberna.

THE CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR

Before the first primary was
held this paper expressed the
belief that all the Democratic
candidates for the Governorship
were good men, and stated that
we would not take sides unless
there was a second primary in
which case we would express
our opinion as to which of the
contestants should be nominated.
Fulfilling that promise we feel
called upon to say that we be-
lieve o. Max Gardner should be
nominated and elected. We be-
lleve that Mr.. Gardner is pecu-
liarly fitted for the high office
by reason of his ability, training
experience and his strict adher-
ence to the platform and princi-
Piles Of his party.~ His experien-
ce as a working man, farmer
and business man has brought
him in close touch with all
classes and conditions Of our
people, and in Office he would
seek to promote peace and good

Mr.. Morrison the office for SER
vices rendered. For many
years this paper has contended
with all the force at its command
that the party owes no man an
office, that patriotism is not a
commercial commodity to be bar
tered and sold, that a man
should work for his party with

worth it if we can finally stave

owe him. Gosh, we like bill COL
