A STORY of the stage that projects
as the motive power of the story
Itself an absorbing and vital question.
The question is, Does love matter,
ran love matter, to those sincerely de-
voting their lives TO the art of the
theater?" There IS, to be sure, no
answer to a question which holds
within itself as many answers and
makeShiftS Of answers as there are
kinds of temperament and degrees of
sincerity propounding it. This, how
ever, does not prevent one from max
ing good story out Of the approaches
to the great question. And this Is
what Samuel Merwin has done here.
Selecting interesting characters from
the most interesting of all the arts, he
has projected these in a sequence of
incidents bearing upon their work of
acting and upon their own individual
Ives as well. One finds theril-auite
as he expected to do-hard-w working
men and women, ambitious and some
times not prescriptions in feeding
their desires. One finds them lovely
and unloyely. kindly and hateful, all
within the spirit and atmosphere of
the stage, just as he finds folks on the
outside sharpening themselves on their
own ambitions and occupations. Since
the stage is, however, a glamourous
medium for the play of human nature.
and an exacting one besides. Mr.. Mer-
wins story, in its waywise fidelity to

tarly interesting gathering up of men

Rome, Italy-Thcre are only 10000
Jews In Italy. and yet this small jew
ssh group has produced more states
men and men Of affairs within the last
quarter Of century than the rest of
continental European Jewry combined.
Italy has already had two Jewish
prcmiers. LuzZati and Sonino, and one
Jewish Minister Of Foreign Affairs,
Slgnor Schanzer. who is Of Galician
origin. In addition. the city Of Rome has
had Jewish Mayor, Signor Nathan,
who was known throughout the country
for his great moral courage and rich
personality. Even the leaders of the
Vatican who were certainly not enthus-
ed about the idea of a Jew-and a free
Mason In addition-being Mayor OF the
holy city could not entirely suppress
their feeling of admiration for Signor
Nathan
Luzzati, even to the present day, Is
the most respected statesman in Italy.
He is respected by all factions, So
cialists. Liberals and Fascist alike. He
Is not only recognized as the greatest
economist of modern Italy, but he still
js-in contradistinctlon to so many
eminent politicians who held power-a
humanitarian and philanthropist, and
champion OF genuine liberalism. To-
dny, he is the grand old man of Italy.
However. the wonderful position
which Italian Jews have held in the
political life of their country has not
preyented the rise of an anti-semitic
movement in Italy. The well-known
Italian publicist and leader of the ex-
IRENE nationalists, Preclose, editor OF
the Fascist organ Vita 1taliana,' Is
now engaged in the creation of an anti
semitic party in Italy. The Vita ltal-
lana" however, has no connection with
the Riyista de Milano, which is pledged
to regular anti-semitic campaign.

those ItaliaHs who were not favorably
disposed towards the Jews strongly re-
sentcd Preciosi's cooperation with the
German anti-semites.
In addition to this, the Italian Jews
are TOO strongly entrenched politically,
accidentally and socially, to be thrown
out of their position by a handful or
anti-semitlc prOpogandists. There are
in the Italian Chamber of Deputies
thirty.hve Jewish members, while in
the Senate there are tweniyfour Jews.

n number Of Consuls General. Jewish
University professors in Italy total
about eight hundred and forty, while
quite a number OF Jews hold high po-
sitions in the army, in the navy, in
the civil service. and in the judiciary.
When one considers that there are
only fifty thousand Jews in Italy, ex-
Guiding the Jews Of Trieste and Teren'
1ino, one must admit that they are
strongly entrenched in the life OF the
Italian people, and that, on the other
hand. the Italian government thinks
highly of their ability.
Although the best Jewish political
brains in Italy are identified with Fas-
cismo. lit is nevertheless n fact. that the
three leaders OF the powerful Socialist
party. Musati, Treves, and Madigloni,
are all Jews. This fact has often been
called to the attention OF Mussolini,
with the object of convincing him that
the Jews are the real ringleaders of the
opposition to his regime, but to no avail.
Mussolini's answer is: Il deal with
Italians and not with religious groups
in Italy" He simply refuses to make
the Italian Jews suffer because three
Jews happen to be the leaders OF the
opposition.
In his attitude to the Jews, Mus
solini has proved to be n thorough
statesman. and real liberal. This may
explain why many Italian Jews OF
prominence and vast influence have
Joined his ranks. 1t must also be born
in mind that the Italian court, and
especially the King, is an outspoken
friend of the Jews. The latter is prob
ably the best-informed European ruler
on Jewish questions.
When Mussolini assumed power. he
found philo-semitic tradition In the

political events In the country Is quite

The fight Of the Fascist against the
Trccmnsons Is largely responsible for
this nutl-scmitic campaign, because the

that with the exception of Benito Mus
solni. the leaders of the Fascist party
are nearly all Jews. This fact is not
known outside Of Italy, and II will
surely surprise the American Jewish
public TO learn that Signor Finzi, for
example. Minister of the Interior under
Mussolini, and the strongest man in the
Cabinet is full-blooded Jew. and is
known as such all over the Kingdom.

Of Fascism in Italy, Signor Samuel

II is even said that she exerts n great

personally in no way prejudiced against
the Jews.
The rank and file of the Fascist, see
ing that their chief and idol is favor
ably disposed towards the Jews, and is
surrounded by Jews, refuse to follow
Preciosi's leadership, and therefore the
latter's anti-semitic propaganda falls
upon deaf ears. To be sure, there are
many anti-Semitic papers in Italy, but
there is no anti-semitic movement, as
such, in Fascist Italy.
Another contributing factor TO the
failure of the efforts of the Italian anti
semitic leaders is their cooperation
with the German anti-semites. Pre-
closi has discovered that most of the
Italian publiclsts whose names COM
mand respect were unwilling TO con-
tribute TO his papers, and in order 10
further his propaganda, he was forced
to open the columns of his papers to
German anti-semites, who are as rule
