FOR SEMINARY
Final Plans Made Here to
Raise Quota for Big Jewish
Institution

Final plans for the campaign to
raise the quota allotted to this city
for the Jewish Theological Semi
nary of America, were arranged last
night at a meeting of the campaign
committee held in the office of Har-
ry S. Medinets. 1t was decided to
open the campaign with a dinner to
be held in the Y. NJ. II. A. en- Sunday
night, November 4. Rabbi Max
Drob, chairman of the National
Compaign committee will be the
speaker. The dinner will be served
under the direction of a woman's

ing members: Mrs. Max Cast, chair
man; Mrs. M. s. Goldberger, Mrs.
Meyer Leichtman, Mrs. Julia Click,
fish.
The first campaign letter to be is
sued by the>committee in the effort
to raise the quota which has been
placed between $4,000 and $4,000, is
being sent out today. The letter fol-
lows:
I'm conveying this message to you.
we who have givee our precious
time and earnest consideration to
this matter, request that you do not
lay dSlQC LIE iCttSA OOAChO
it over carefully
"A movement has been initiated
under the leadership of the greatest
men in American Israel for the pun
pose of staving off the religious de-
cadence that is creeping into the life
of u people, particularly of our
younger generation. In order to
withstand the anti-American as we'll
as anti-Jewish prejudice that has re-
| Gently raised it's ugly head, and also
the spiritual Indifference among our
people, it is obvious that a religious
educational revival must take place
within our ranks. To this end 1t is
necessary to have properly trained
spiritual leaders and teachers to
guide and instruct from pulpit and
| in religious schools in the various
communities of this land.
THE Jewish Theological Seminary
of America is the Institution that
has been producing such leaders and
teachers during the past generation.
| Until recently 1t was supported by a
| small group of men who now no
longer can bear the burden. For
the expenses of the Seminary have
tripled. Moreover it's present facili-
LACG aIO AAAANCQdatC " ~ ~
OF students in attendance. Further
more the demand for rabbis and
teachers Is ten times as large as that
which the Seminary, with it's present
limited means, can educate. Three
hundred and fifty applications for
| rabbis and teachers have been made
to the Seminary which it cannot
meet under its present limitations!
The Seminary must expand and be
relieved of financial pressure in or
der that Judaism in America may
be safeguarded.
For this purpose IN appeal has
been made to American Jewry for
a one million dollar endowment fund
for the Jewish Theological Seminary,
that it may continue its work and
meet this most urgent problem in
our Jewish life in America. In
bringing this message to you we feel
that when the call is made upon you
to assist in our local campaign, you
will respond as befits an honorable
American and loyal Jew.
Very sincerely yours,
ISAAC ALPERN,
Chairman"

At the Ditmas

Priscilla Dean is the star of Drift
ing" which opened yesterday at the
Ditmas theatre, and considering
the essentially dramatic character of
the story a better actress for the role
of Cassie Cook in John Colton's fa-
nous stage play could hardly be
chosen. Dean has always been strik-
emotional and intensely drama
tic in her ~portrayals.
Drifting" a Universal-Jewel spe-
cial production of colorful character,
tells the story of a white woman
alone and friendless in China-and
not the China that the tourist knows
of Shanghai's shadows and Peking's
a~alaces, but the heart of China, the
hills, the country villages and the
people of the scarlet poppy fields
that produce the worlds greatest
vice curse, opium.

would give only seasonal employ
