WELCOME, LOUIS LIPsKY

We are pleased to extend cordial
welcome to Mr.. Louis Lipsky who will
honor the Twin Cities by his visit
during the coming week. In addition
to being at the helm of Zionism in
America, as the secretary for Or
ganization of the Zionist Organiza-
tion of America, Mr.. Lipsky is prob
ably, in point of service, the veteran
official Zionist worker in this country.
The message he has to bring to all
in the Twin Cities interested in the
upbuilding of Palestine will be timely
and unusually well informed, as Mr..
Lipsky has attended all of the ma
tional and international Zionist gath
erings during the last few years.
On behalf of the Jews of the Twin
Cities, we extend to Louis Lipsky a
hearty welcome and a respectful
hearing.

Personalities
BY JOSEPH KAYE

Instead of making you acquainted
with new personality for our fea-
ture attraction, we will introduce you
to a new prejudice. The prejudice is
to be directed against ALA Nazimova.
In the current issue Of The Motion
Picture Classic, a popular movie
"fan" magazine, Nazimova, in an
photographed interview, admits of
her Jewish descent, but with extreme
repugnance. When her father first
told her that she was a Jewess, on
the occasion when he was bringing
her home from boarding school, she
was Mortified; then she saw some of
her brethren on the train she was
travelling on, and the sight of these
benighted people, with their ejacula-
tions in strange, harsh language,
sickened her almost to fainting. Up to
this day, she confesses, she has not
altogether forgiven her father for his
revelation OF her ancestry. 1t had in
hearted admiration for the Catholic
creed in her young days. Of course,
IN her years of maturity such things
as religions do not play role with
her internationalism-and marriage
w OIldIlcS DIyduC-udS given nor
conscience freedom, but we are still
not popular subject with her. We
can at least refrain from making
ourselves so conspicuous in politics,
is the final advice she vouchsafes us.
This is the actress who gained her
first success in New York on the
East Side, who was practically made
by Jewish admirers of her Ibsen in
the days of her stage artistry; whose
chief starring vehicle in Russia and
America was sympathetic tale of a
Jewish girl. We are very tolerant of
artists who have prejudices against
us; but it goes against the grain to
have such prejudice emanate from
one of our own, and one whom we
have carefully nurtured to fame.
Only few years ago we were
talking to Nazimova, and our subject
was the Jewish girl of the East Side
Of New York; her crudity in dress,
her exaggerated use of cosmetics; her
terrible coiffures (bobbing was not
in style them, and her lack of taste
IN general. And Nazimova came to
;he girls defense very quickly, and
also was very quick to deny the i'm
,lication that Jews were less refined
n certain traits than other peoples.
She said at that time;
The American Jewish world., 1922-12-01

"The crude dresses the girls wear,
the cheap jewelry and all those things
that are pointed out as the sins of
the East Side girl-are they not lust
an offering to a girls hunger? The
East Side girl is hungry, perhaps not
physically hungry, but hungry for all
that her imagination pictures, for all
that the stage, the novel, the screen
tell her exists in life. She wants to
have these things; she Graves for
them, and can you blame her if, when
she cannot obtain these things actu-
ally, she takes the imitation? There
is hunger in every woman's heart for
certain things and it must be ap-
peased. The East Side girl satisfies
her craving in the fashion possible to
her; the rich girl appeases it in a
way opened to her by circumstances.
They do not differ essentially.
"As far as the supposition that
Jews have an inherent trait of bad
taste in their character-I do not be-
lieve it. There may be a leaning
towards overdressing or a too snowy
exhibition of gems and golden trim
kets among the Jews, but this is due
to the oppression that the Jews have
been subjected to in the past. For
bidden all paths, shut out from all
social doors, the natural instinct for
attracting notice had to find an out
let. 1t found it in a too great ac-
centuation on personal adornment.
"That is not an inherent trait of
character. 1t is an imposition of cir
cumstance."
When Nazimova spoke the fore
going she was an artist, engrossed
in her work, earnest, idealistic. To-
day she has sold her talent in the
most miserable fashion to the movies
and become an ingenue movie star.
And in the bloated publicity and
crude popularity which is the movie
stars reward and bane there has been
evolved Nazimova who is addicted
by what is colloquially known as
"swelled-head." Madame ALA is
reigning on air and is possessed of
a giddy disregard for anything but
caprice. Perhaps under these circum-
stances Mrs. Bryant cannot be held
responsible for what she says.
New York is a paradise as well
as the other place for some young
aspirants to fame and fortune. At
this writing hardened professional
experience is marveling at the ex-

We hope that very shortly the
Western State bank will follow suit
so that those affected by it's closing
may have their opportunity to show
gratitude in truly Jewish way-by
consecrating their funds in using
them in worthy cause.

A new form Of anti-Jewish propa-
ganda in Germany is the circulation
of bank notes with anti-Jewish in
scriptions printed, stamped or pasted
upon them. Our advice to our German
Jewish brethren would be-: First,
make sure that these notes are genu-
inc. Then, corner all in sight.

traordinary success of two young fell
lows who a month ago had nothing
and today have property worth in the
neighborhood of a million dollars. The
young men are Mike Goldreyer and
Mike Mindlin, and their property is
the play, "The Last Warming" one
of the biggest hits in New York.
"The Last Warning" is. one of the
mystery plays which followed in the
wake of "The Bat" "The Bat" ran
something like three years in New
York alone, and was presented by
five companies on the road in this
country. Then it has equal success
in England and the British colonies,
besides being presented, we believe,
on some continental stages. We ex-
plain these details about "The Bat"
because "The Last Warning" is con-
ceded by every one-including the
atergoers- be as good as the for
mer play.
Goldreyer was a press agent and
Mindlin one time manager of
Bowery Italian theater. Goldreyer
is the more picturesque character.
What amuses most critics and news
paper men is the fact that until a
month ago he haunted their offices
with reading notices and pictures Of
the productions he was working for
Today he asks them to insert notices
and pictures of "my play" nv
Some eighteen months ago Gold
reyer, always hankering to break into
the producing field, asked Sam H.
Harris, his boss, to turn over to him
any likely play which came into his
office, and which he could not use,
providing that the play called for
only one set of scenery and not more
than seven characters. Eventually
such a play came in and was duly
turned over to Goldreyer. By utilizing
savings and scrapings this play was
produced and tried out of town. The
evening performance had about
eighteen in the audience and the
matinee two. The only assets that
remained to Mike after the players
were sent home were seven over
coats which were used in the play,
and. as hard luck had it, it was a
mild winter, and Mike could not pos
sibly use out all his overcoats.
The financing for "The Last Warm
ing" was done on the same system
as for Goldreyer's former produce
tion, but instead of eighteen people
in the audience seats are selling eight
weeks in advance.
"The Last Warming" is taken from
Wadsworth Camps novel "The House
IF Fear" and has the rather novel
dea of haunted theater. There
are some surprising features in it,
such as planting stage characters ali
'ver the theater, in the boxes, in the
isles and in the gallery. At one time
he audience gasps with fear as
quad of policemen take their places
n the aisles and stand guard, with
rim looks of expectancy on their
aces and at another moment man
rom box fires a revolver at some
me on the stage. Altogether the
pectator at "The Last Warming" is
n for an exciting time. That's why
he firm of Mindlin & Goldreyer is
dding daily to the bank roll.
