WHAT'S WRONG IN THE Pull
PITS,

An Interview by Barnerd A. Bergman
When the thirteen colonies fought
for freedom, one Of the Revolutionary
War heroes was Jonas Phillips, presi-
dent Of the Shearith Israel Synagog,
which in l776 had already been es-
tablished 100 years in America.
When this famous old Spanish
Portuguese Synagog, at 90 Central
Park West, recently chose a successor
TO the late L. Napoleon Levy, who
had been president for 2s years, the
great grandson Of Jonas Phillips,
Captain N. Taylor Phillips, World
War veteran and prominent lawyer.
Of 81 Chambers street, was selected
as the head Of the Oldest synagog in
this country.
From President Phillips In l776 to
President Phillips in 1921. from the
middle Of the seventeenth century
when the synagog was founded to the
present day, It's services have not
changed. The congregation worships
in the same manner and uses the
same ritual and prayers Of the origi-
nal congregation. organized n few
years after New York City was
settled.

The exclusive announcement in Zit's
Weekly Newspaper several weeks ago
that Nine. Bertha Kalich, the emf
nent actress, who for many years
had queened it on the English-speak-
ing stage, was quietly appearing at
the remote Irving Place Theatre in
performances in Yiddish Of some Of
her old-time successes, caused amaze
ent and tremendous speculation OF,
the part Of her army Of friends ana
admirers.
The true story, now revealed for
the first time, is that Of the happy
elimination Of one Of the most re-
markable psychological experiments
ever recorded in the history of medN
cine-an experiment that restores to
the English stage great actress and
is triumph for the brilliant scientist
under whose advice II was directed.
Nine. Kalish, after a continuous en-
gagement in New York and on tour
Of more than two years in "The
Riddle: Woman" suffered complete
nervous breakdown one year agU
Many specialists were called into con-
sultation and for two months she was
a patient at the Post-Graduate Hos
pital, so that her case could be studied
with greatest care.
II was finally decided that she wse

strain imposed upon her by her devo-
tion to her art, for it is known to her
intimates that, unlike many other
prominent artists, Kalich believed in
Giving the part" she was to act, and
few roles have called for greater emo
tional strain than that Of Lila Dirk
in "The Riddle: Woman"
Complete mental and physical rest,
the experts declared, would quickly
restore Madame to her fullest powers,
but the actress active brain yielded
stubbornly to his regime. Finally,
however, Kalich gave herself up to
the task Of recuperation and soon the
physician declared that she was COM
pletely restored and ready to return
TO her beloved work.
Then, to their amazement and dis
ay, Madame insisted that they were

cure had been effected. She had lost
confidence in herself, and insisted
that II would be impossible TO again
face an audience, especially in new
role, with all its attendant study and
rehearsal.
The doctors then found Themselves

problem. The brilliant woman who
had enthralled millions Of theatre.

tory, the words Of its president have
more than passing weight in discus
sion Of Jewish affairs, and Captain
Phillips, in his characteristic manner,
speaks straight out in honest and
frank fashion.
"The trouble with our rabbis today
and the same fault applies TO the
Gentle pulpit, is that they don't at
tend to their congregations" Captain
Phillips declared. "They seem to be.
lieve that sensational sermons which
get their names in the papers, attend
ing celebrations and public events,
constitute the bulk Of their duties.
They don't go after their congrega-
tions, they wait for their congrega-
tions TO come to them.
"They seem to forget that II Is per-
sonal interest that counts, personal
contact, bonds Of sympathy developed
between congregation and minister.
The position Of the rabbi or the
preacher is similar to the physician
who holds his patients by personal
ties and by the confidence they have
in him.
Why Not Go to the MoviesI
TT the pulpit is to be made into a
theatre. then the congregation can
get much better entertainment Of this
sort from the stage or the movie.
"Suppose the synagog is filed by
sensational sermons! Are better

ligious life isn't improved, Just be-

every week.
"T don't want TO be misunderstood.
We need interesting and snapry SER
mons, but we also need deep personal
interest In the congregation and 10y
altv TO and confidence in the rabbi"
Captain Phillips illustrated his
point by saying that when he was
Deputy Controller Of New York, he
could not have achieved results with
his thousand employees merely by
weekly talk. "My words would have
gone In one ear and out Of the
other" he said. 'The employees would
have worked by the time clock and
that Is all they would have done.
But by personal contact, these pei

not think Of quitting until everything
was finished. The same thing Is
illustrated by the marvellous spirit
developed at Altman's, whose EN-.
ployes are noted for their faithful
ness and excellence. Altman's hasn't
any better staff than anybody else,
but the humanizing influence Is there
and better results are achieved.

goers during her years on the stage,
who had held audiences spellbound,
or moved them to laughter or tears
by the exercise Of her own will, had
lost faith in herself. In vain they
tried to reason with her. But they
could not overcome a condition that
threatened to battle all their science.
II was at this point that DR.. SAM
uel W. Bandler, specialist and author
Of many authoritative works on ner-
vous diseases, suggested the remark
able experiment. Since Madame felt
herself unable to prepare herself for
a new role, he suggested that she try
an old one. Instead Of undergoing
the strain of eight performances
week, she was to try two or three.
Madame listened with interest, but
gave him little encouragement. Then,
little by little, she was gently led into
a discussion Of the plays in which she
had made her first success in this
country. She dwelt lovingly upon the
roles in "The TRUTH "Sappho" and
"The 0sphan," recalling with glowing
pleasure these early triumphs when,
as a mere girl, she had swayed her
first American audiences.
"Then why not try one Of those
roles again?" asked the doctor.
"But they were in Yiddish, which
had to learn when I came TO this
country from Roumania, even before !
began to learn English" she an
swered.
"But YOU could play them now
without rehearsal, couldn't your
Madame admitted smilingly that
these roles were indelibly stamped
upon her memory.
Then II was that the great idea
was born. A Yiddish stock company
was playing at the Irving Palace
Theatre and the management joy
fully welcomed the suggestion that
Kalich should appear in her famous
characters for such performances as
she wished. II was not so easy to get
Kalich's consent, but finally she en-
tered into the experiment, although
insisting that Il was useless.
And thus II happened that one Fri
day night, several weeks ago, at the
Irving Place Theatre, the audience
that had come to see the local leading
woman in Gordin's "Sappho" was
astonished to find the great Kalich
who so long ago had deserted the
Yiddish stage, back among them
They did not know why she was
there. They only knew that she wal
there. And they accorded her M
ovation that brought a flush Of pleas.
