Random Thoughts

find God in this world is likely to
find Him nowhere"
Think it over. fear that all too
many of us spend all too much time
getting ready to meet God in some
other world forgetting that He may
be in this one.
l am inclined to agree with David
Triettsch, the statistician who de-
clares in the Jewish Tribune" of New
York that the Jews of the United
States number four million four hun.
dred thousand. 1t seems that ever
since / can remember we have been
quoting the Jewish population of this
country as three and one-half million
and it's about time some growth was
recorded. | am glad that Triettsch
agrees with my figures that there are
four million Jews in Poland, and
three and half million in Soviet Rus
sia. England, Ireland, Scotland and
Wales combined have only four hun
dred thousand, while there are one
hundred and eighty thousand in Pal
estine. Mexico has so few that they
are not recorded. 1t is estimated that
there are at the present time eighteen
million Jews, which are four million
more than have been give min any
estimate within recent years.
If it weren't for the fact that we
are children the movie industry would
have to turn off its light and go to
bed. When we were kids we read dime
novels and fairy stores and now that
we are grown up we go to see the
dime novels and the fairy stories on
the screen. There isn't one picture
out of a hundred that we see that
isn't an insult to our intelligence, but
when we go to see a picture we park
our brains with our hat-under the

seat. Therefore it is with uncommon
interest that read of the alliance of
Rabbi Ernest Trattner of Congrega-
tion Emanuel, of Los Angeles, Cali
fornia, with the First National Pro-
ductions, the first time, l believe that
Rabbi has retired from the pulpit
to enter the movie industry. I am
likewise much interested in what the
Rabbi has to say of the Seventh Art.
Says he:
"The church or synagogue and
the motion picture have much in
common. They share the same
high ideals and the screen may
have even greater influence
than the church. Because of its
universal language it has become
the dominant force in modern
civilization and therefore legiti-
mately attracts the erstwhile re-
ligious leader"
My impression has always been
that the only ideal the screen is con-
cerned with is box office receipts. Of
course may be doing Zukor, and
Lasky and Fox and all the other
idealists a gross injustice, but l just
can't help thinking along those lines.
However, Rabbi Trattner is nearer
the scene of action than l am and he
may be able to discern those "high
ideals that are shared by "the
church and the synagogue and the
screen" At this distance ! confess
