"WELCOME STRANGER" AT
THE DENHAM

Are Americans broadminded and toll
Grant. or are they as narrow and pre-
judiced as Sometimes appears in their
dealings with those whose charactcris-
lies mark them as being of Irish. Jew
sh. French or other extraction?
This ques. ion is argued in debates
in the schools and colleges: it is the
basis of the formation of lodges and
secret organizations il is the cause
of, the formation of many unjust hat
reds and Of many beautiful friendships
of love and understanding.
Aaron Hoffman. Il Jewish playwright
of New York City-and one of the
greatest writer's ever to write for the
stagc-in the writing of Welcome
Stranger" has done more perhaps Ia
make for n he tier understanding of and
liking for the Jews than any other
one man who swings public opinion
through the stage.
/ The play is n comedy That means
it is entertainment, and this entirely
apart from and in addition to any
moral taught. No one cares for play
that spends several hours in just
teaching n lesson The stage is fol

ever. Mr. Hoffman has created play
tha; teaches the lesson and entertain,
ut fhe same time. This has stamped
Welcome Stranger as one Of th,
greatest plays of all times.
