Rosenblatt, December 10.

There is nothing quite 70 thrilling
as the music OF the human voice. 1t

instrument. and inspires as nothing

apparent to those who are fortunate
enough to hear Josef Rosenblatt. the
Jewish cantor tenor, when he appears
at the Shubert-Garrick Sunday even

Mr.. Rosenblatt's voice is rarely du-
plicated, for II has all the powers OF
a real tenor and all the marvellous
range Of colorature. Thus, his voice
is really two voices in one, and his
programs are combinations of both
types of voice.
On his program. therefore. will be
found numbers like those OF John Nc

his first visit to America. -Four years
before. fresh from the studio Of the
famous LeschetitZky. he had made hi.
debut in Berlin and had created
furore. In 1900 pianists were still
wearing as much hair on the head as
could be grown. and Gabrilowitsch
was only second to Paderewski in the
luxuriance Of his locks. "At least. he
looks as IL he can play" was the sum-
ming up of his first audience, and the
battle was half won. On one Of these
concert trips. in 1909. he met Clara
Clemens. the daughter of Mark Twain.
and married her. This. perhaps. ac-
counted for the fact that gradually
America became more and more a
place of sojourn. until. in 1918. he
definitely made his home here.

Myl0ck as q Human BEING

THE presentation by David Belasco
Of David Warfield as Shylock, in
The Merchant of Venice" will prob
ably reawaken the discussions that
have gone on periodically ever since
the play was first presented in 1895,
as to the character of Shylock.
There have always been those to
contend that Shylock was more
snned against than SHINING. and that
he was the victim of group of
characters devoid of high principles
and honor. Others have contended
that Shylock is the personification of
greed. hatred and malice. There is
no record whatsoever of Shake
speare's own feeling toward the char
acter that he created.
In a lecture delivered in Philadel-
phia some years ago, Rabbi Joseph
Krauskopf, D. D.. spoke of Shake
speare's impersonal attitude toward
his character. laying stress upon the
fact that the great dramatist pre-
sented human beings SO perfectly
drawn that they were to be judged
as one would judge living men and
women. THE Merchant Of Venice"

Of their love comes an overwhelming
