yiddish Drama
To PLAY Here

Maurice Schwartz, the dean of
the Yiddish Theater, will bring
"Yoshe Kalb" to the Belasco Thea
ter for one performance only Sun
day, February 18. "YoShe Kalb''
was dramatized by Mr.. Schwartz
from the lengthy I. j. Singer
novel, and so outstanding was its
presentation by him that Daniel
Frohman just this season pre-
sented an English version of it on
Broadway.
It is, perhaps the most success
full play ever produced by the
Yiddish Art Theater, of which
Maurice Schwartz is the head.
"Yoshe Kalb" employs in its
dramatic range, all the fire and
action of the theater. Although it
tells of the ascetic cabalist who
marries unwillingly, sins with his
father-in-law's young wife, and
then wanders over the land as an
unknown outcast to expiate his
guilt, the play, which is presented
in 26 scenes, covers many phases
of Jewish life and activities.
A cast of over so supports Mr..
Schwartz in this play, which has
been staged by the star.

Fam ed Choir to
Sing Here
Tonight

The first part Of the concert
of sacred and secular music by
the famous Westminster Choir
tonight at $3.50 in Constitution
Hall will be sung in veStments,
the second part in evening dress.
1t is the first time IN this
city that this celebrated organ
ization has ever deviated from
its custom of presenting only
sacred music, clad in choir robes
of deep red. But since the radio
has broadcast the choir's music,
the demand for other numbers
has increased amazingly, and to
fill these requests DR.. william
son has consented to include
both types of music in a single
concert.
The choir undertakes its Sec
ond European tour this summer,
with extensive visits planned in
the Soviet Union.
More than 20 local choirs will
attend the concert and sing with
the visiting group Bortnyansky's
"Cherubim Song" under the di-

Consequently, the studio was very

that he asked for nothing which
