The Jewish Note in
Modern Poverty
Special Interview With Louis I'm
termeyer by Ray Bril-

ish spirit more than any other period
in the history of the world has ever
DONE" declared Mr.. Louis Untermey-
er, poet and critic. "This is true
not only in the realm Of poetry but
in all fields of art endeavor," he con-
tinued.
1.-THE Jew has become race consci-
Gus. Recent condition and events
have intensified the inherit race con-
seriousness Of the Jew. Thus the Jew
in art is now at his best, as any crea-
ture is at his best when he is tapping
the vital springs of his life. When
the Jew unconsciously draws of the
rich fountain of Judaism it is then
that he expresses himself most COM
pletely and fully. But the effort must
be conscious maintained Mr.. Inter
meyer. otherwise instead of reflect
ing the spirit of Judaism the artist
will become arrogantly Jewish.
"In contemporary literature and
poetry there is being manifested a
certain truly Semitic strain. A troub-
led enegry, cropping dissatisfaction
and an unrelenting analytical scrutiny
mark the spirit Of current literature.
And this spirit is truly Semitic.
"In fiction the realm of Fanny
Hurst, Edna Ferber, Anzia Yezierska,
Montague Glass and Abe Cahan has
given decided color to modern liter
AZURE.
American poets, not of the Jewish
race, have also taken up the strain,
the pro-Jewish strain" continued Mr..
Untermeyer. Clement Wood, an
American, has written a book of po-
ems called Jehovah" And the finest
portrayal of Ghetto life in poetry
comes from one who is neither an
American nor a Jew but from a gar
ment worker who was born in Austria
liza, Lolo Ridge"
Mr.. Untermeyer then voiced this
belief. an no art has the Jew ex-
pressed himself and his time as in
poetry. I need but refer to the Bible
to bear me out.
"The Jewish spirit in poetry falls
into three divisions. / say this in the
sense Of the toughest kind of gener-
alization. There is the poetry Of ex-
altation which marks the Messianic
spirit. Next comes the poetry Of des-
pair and establishment. The third
division is a blend of the two just
mentioned.
James 0ppenheimer is singer Of
the exalted type. He is a man in the
middle twenties. In his book, Songs
Of the New Age is the spirit Of Walt
Whitman mingled with the Bible. 1t
is an interview with god who has
taken lessons in psycho-analysis from
Whitman.
ITO an entirely different type Of
poetry belongs to Alter Brody, a
young man in the early twenties Of
Russian-Jewish parentage. He is
more interested in the delineation Of
portraits, in the tracing Of pictures.
In his collection Of poems, "A Family
Album one is given a glimpse Of
American life as seen against back
ground of Russian memories. It is a
heighten pose.
"His songs are filled with lamenta-
tons. There is restraint also. Out
Of his desire to give only pictures one
r,a+s from, his xuork tha anirit Of the
The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1921-03-11

impressed with the poetry of Florence
Ripper Frank, young Jewess.'
Speaking of her he said, "Her deepest
sensibilities lie in her backgrounds in
city of the middle west. Amy Low
ell has commended her work for its
unrelenting honesty and austrity.
"Yet there is another poet in the
Jewish ranks of whom I would say
something. But I feel a little reluct-
ant" he added with an engaging
smile. You see, she is a relative of
mine. But still l don't see why I
should feel that way since she is only
a relative by marriage. She is my
wife,"
Mr.. Untermeyer then graciously
read to me two of her poems, "a
Man" was the name of one; the other
was called Autumn
am quoting stanza from the lat
ter poem to show the reader the clar-
ity and keeness Of Jean Starr Inter
meyers touch.
"How memory cuts away the years,
And how clear the picture comes
Of Autumn days brisk and busy;
Charged with keen sunshine
And you, stirred with activity,
The spirit of these energetic days.
Reference may be made right here
to the interesting fact that in his bio
gyaphy Louis Untermeyer is spoken
Of as a socialist. But side by side to
the word socialist" stand the four
words "Of the Jewish religion"
which is quite unusual. ; Socialists as
a rule when of Jewish birth do not
care to display the fact.
"Whom do you consider the great
est poet that ever lived?"
king Solomon" was his prompt re-
ply. 81 consider the "Song of Songs
as the finest poetry ever written. My
second choice is David of the Psalms,
and my third choice is Heinrich
Heine."
what poem do you regard as your
best?"
as that what you want to know?"
he tainted. "Well, you know every
poet considers the last poem he has
written his best poem," he added
evasively.
"And what is the name Of your last
poem?"
Roast Leviathan.' This poem is to
appear shortly in the Menorah Jour-
nal. Oddly enough its theme is drawn
from Midrashic tale.
"But seriously speaking I think it
is my poem 'Caliban in the Coal Mines
that is the best known and which car
ries the most insurgent note"
Mr.. Untermeyer is a man in the
middle thirties, tall, supple and quick
Of movement. His black hair which
has not been given ghost of chance
to grow long is combed sleekly away
from his high forehead.
There is nothing Of the poet about
his hair. In fact there is little Of that
about the man which the mind readi-
ly conjures up as the physical attrib-
utes peculiar to the poet.
81 want to make this point" conclu-
ded Mr.. Untermeyer. The poet Of
Jewish extraction differs just as es-

Must Not Wear short skirts.

Budapest. The wonens society II
this city has. asked the municipal ~.
ernment to direct the police to arrest
women who appear on the streets
wearing skirts with bottom more than
rs centimeters (about,1 10 inches above
the ground and to present the Offend
ers in court on q charge Of violating
the sense Of shame"
1t Is proposed by the -reformers that
the police carry meter sticks with
which to measure the height of skirts
from the ground. so that there will be
no mistaken arrests.
Countess Apponyi presided at the
meeting which launched the reform
and which also voted to boycott so
cially and otherwise men who accom-.
pany short-skirted women.
