We Will Never Die
Billed for Tonight
Stellar Cast Is Here
For Memorial PAGEANT

The contribution of the Jews
through the centuries, as we'll as
their suffering and their future, will
be portrayed on the stage of Con-
stitution Hall tonight before an au-
dience headed by cabinet members
Supreme Court justices, diplomats
and legislators.
Representing collection of talent
from stage, screen and opera, the
pageant, I'VE Will Never Die" is a
memorial to the 100000 Jewish
dead of Europe.
Paul MUM, Luther Adler. Sylvia
Sidney, Jacob Ben-Ami and Edward
q. Robinson arrived in Washington
yesterday to join the hundreds of
local actors who have volunteered
to take part in the mammoth
pageant.
With them came Kurt Baum, a
Metropolitan Opera Co. favorite
who will sing the Kurt WE'LL score
which blends the traditional Hebraic
melodies, including the Kol Nidre
lament sung by Jews on the Day of
Atonement.
Written by Ben Hecht, the pageant
is divided into three parts The
first calls the roll of the Jews who
have made an important contribu-
ton to civilization, from Moses to
Elnstein. The second tells the part
American Jews have played in the
war, beginning with the soldiers on
Bataan. The third part of the
pageant visualizes the peace con-
ference after the war at which the
Wraiths of slaughtered Jews come
to tell their stories.
The pageant originally was staged
IN Madison Square Garden. Be-
cause of the overflow audience of
more than 10000 persons the pageant
was performed twice in one evening
1t was produced by Billy Rose and
directed by Moss Hart.
