MAX KALISH
ASTONISHES
ART CRITICS
Called "Walt Whitman
of Bronze"

New York City Is. A.)-Max
kalish, the 35-year-old son of Pol
ish-Jewish immigrants, who himself
began life in Cleveland as a hand"
has been called the Walt Whitman
Of bronze by art critics who have
been examining his exhibition Of
american laborers at the Ferargil
galleries.
Although kalish has exhibited in
Paris, Cleveland, Detroit. Chicago
and other Middle Western cities for
several years he has never attracted
the attention of New York critics.
The work which is creating most
comment is Kalish's bronze figure,
entitled, "The Christ" One critic
says: within that frozen bronze
Kalish has caught the rage of a
whirlwind, the binding illumination
Of lightning stroke"
Bust of Jesus
That Kalish should have attracted
greatest notice because of his con-
ception of Jesus is reminiscent Of
the rise to fame of Jacob Epstein,
now in England. whose success has
been due to series of sensations,
beginning with his figure of Christ.

four masterpieces of German dramatic
art at the Broadway Theatre Decem-
ber IL. The first Of the group, enti-

This German play is a colloquial
drama Of the joys, sorrows and depri-
vations of the people. 1t deals with
the modern problem, more especially
problem in Germany, of the prole-
tariat or the common people, who, with
genuine love Of the good, wish to start
their children off into greater oppor-
tunities and into greater chances for
success than they themselves had. A
desire only fulfilled by the greatest
self-denial and heartache on the part
of the parent.
The play will be supported by cast
Of 20 actors and will be augmented

Pioneer Autobiography
Il Am 4 woman--And n Jew, by Leah Morton.
J. II, Sears Coz

legend has persisted that women ere secretive
about their affairs Men presumed to be confirmed
Sexhibtonsts. But once in while has written
The story of her life which sor sheer vvidnes brancy
and power has not been outdone by any males Jewish
women have been reticent about their inner
life But Mrs Morton's volume Il Am n Woman-And
a Jew is piece of pioneer work in autobiography 1t
is really the first life story of American Jewess that
ons would care to have in ones library permanently Oh
yes several have been written; nconsequentia, boring
hired writing.
Intermarried
Mrs. Morton is Jewess brought up in a thoroughly
orthodox home, who broke away from tradition marry
n nonJcwsh social worker The conflicts involved the
marriage of two creeds of minor Significance in this
,volume The interest resides in the story of the unfold
ing of womans life and the clash between husband
and wife in divergent interest Mrs. Morton makes the
remarkable statement that in all the marriages between
Jews and Christians that she knows of, not of
unhappiness has been the result merely religious diff
ference.
American Social Service
Mrs. Mortons life story is also to a large extent
the history of the social service movement in this
'try. Not that the periods by any
inous but when Mrs Morton first started in social work
people were just beginning to social service work
communal duty rather than unnecessary and dis
tasteful charity.
+, Mrs. Morton is first Jewess and then woman.
She is undoubtedly striking person than her
husband And yet her relation to him is paradoxical
1t is family reminiscent of Semitic ideas Of conjugal
relations Mrs. Morton has always been aggressive
seassertive cher deprecatons to the contrary,
pulsating with life but when it to the major de-
csons in her she acceded to the wishes of her
husband This may be the Jewish strain in her. the feel
ing of nferority which demanded that the world which
different from hers, the world which had always
been regarded superior should regard her action with
approval Mrs. Morton ntimates that she allowed her
, self to be guided by her husband her "over." We
doubt it. ats ". i't-vra,
Inconsistencies sd .r

briskly and coorfuly We remember in particular the
three describing the signs of Mrs Mortons
first child. They convey than pages of intricate
adjectives
