WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-
The operation Of national pro-
hibition in the United States
for six years finds this measure
of increasing benefit to the
United States. During 1925,
hundreds Of leaders in indus
try, education and trade in this
nation publicly emphasized the
value of prohibition.
Judge f. H. Gary, of the
steel corporation, said he was
more and more satisfied that
prohibition legislation should
have been passed and continued,
without amendment and that it
should be more rigid'y imposed.
President J. E. Edgarton, of the
National Association of Manu-
facturers, said that the abnor-
NAL lawlessness of the time
could not reasonably be attrib-
uted to prohibition.
w. E. Storey, president of the
Santa Fe railway system, said
that from the standpoint of rail
road operation the 18th amend
ment had been very helpful to
that system, that it had greatly
reduced drinking among the
rank and file of employees in

ORIGINAL VERSION OF "DYBBUK''
First Appearance of Famous Troupe Highly Ap-
preciated by Jews and Non-Jews in
7 Distinguished Audience

tirely familiar with the Significance
Of the words, get an impression
through ingenious devices Of the
po ointe dness Of the motions, the
Habima. The intensity Of the play
oddities of the scenery and the accen-
tuated sounds Of the ancient tongue
create the feeling of a mysterious ex
perience which Is worth living
through.
So much concerning the stylizatior
of the play. However, if an analysis
of "The Dybbuk" performance is per.
mitted, one must point out few o.
the features which seem to be at va
rance with the accepted conception
Of the dramas of Jewish life.
While the entire conception Of the
drama seems to transfer the actor
into a mystic region bordering on the
symbolic, the Habima performanc,
often plunges into attempts at sharr
realism. For instance, while the beg
gars' dance impresses one with it,
striking realistic features on the
mystic background, the scene in the
Tzadik's room brings one into m at
rnosphere which is almost entirely at
variance with the realistic forms Of
Chassidic mannerism.
Russian Influence
One is bound to observe the strong
influence of the Russian environment
on the Habima. One cannot forget the
tone Of Gnesia, the weeping woman
(Ch. Grober). One is thrilled with
the artistry Of the Batlanim reciting
psalms. One is brought to tears lis
tening to the argument Of Hennoch
(Benj. Zemach) with his emotional
accentuation of traditional tones and
spprehensive fright. One cannot help
sdr,iring Leah (Anna Rovina) under
the spell Of the Dybbuk and when dy-
ing. But one cannot also help Won
dering at the strange conception by
Nahum Zcmach Of Ariel, the Zadik
of Miropol, who in his (Zemach's)
personification, is most likely to be a
Russian saint than Chassidic Rab-
bi, Just as one cannot help but feel
that Sender, the Chassid Of Brinitsa,
appears in Itkin's personifcation
more like Russian landowner
dressed like Chassid than like a
real Chassid. w. z. S.

The Habima Players made their
hrst appearance in the United States
on Monday at the Mansfield Theatre,
before distinguished audience con-
sisting Of Jews and non-Jews, artists,
writer's and journalists.
The first performance Of the Habi-
ma, which was perhaps the first per-
formancc ever given on Broadway in
the Hebrew language, met with
marked appreciation on the part of
the audience which WAS at times
spellbound by the distinctly
original manner and style of the
play. The original version Of 1.-THE
Dybbuk," by Ansky, in the Hebrew
translation by Chain Nachman Bia-
lik, which was shown by the troupe
in Moscow and In nearly all Euro
pean capitals with great success, was
presented.
The American theatre going public
has already seen two versions Of An
skys drama. One was given by the
Yiddish Art Theatre under the direc-
ton Of Maurice Schwartz, the other,
an English adaptation, at the Neigh
borhood Playhouse.
HsbiMs Version Surprise
The Habima gave to the intensely
interested audience q surprise. This
version of the drama is totally differ
ent from what has been seen until
now. The difference lies not only in
the manner Of playing but more 40

to intensive ensemble
work, but it has also proven the
of the Hebrew language.
With such good text as that fur
