Passover. the feast of unleavened bread, is to be celebrated this year beginning Wednesday evening, March 2e, and continuing a week, the concluding service of the holi- day falling on Wednesday, April 1.
 The festival of Passover, called in Hebrew "Pesach," reaches back to remote antiquity when 1t was ob- served by the early Hebrew tribes as an agricultural spring festival. At an early period Pesach was trans- formed into a festival celebrating the redemption of the Hebrews from Egyptian slavery.
 By aSsociating this festival with the deliverance of the Hebrews from the Egyptian yoke, the obserV- ance took on a new and greater significance. The festival and the ritual ceremony observed during the seven days in which it is celebrated among Reform Jews, or the eight days among the Orthodox, is not only identified with the Exodus oi the children of Israel from Egyptian tyranny but further synlbolizes Joy

Cocabana shows are extremely ex-
pensiye. There was no indication,
however, in the first three days of
the shows presentation, twice night
~, thrice on Saturdays, that WASH
ington had not been waiting i'm
patiently for some one to make just
that expensive gesture. There was
hardly vacant seat in the house,
none that we actually saw, although
there must be an extra table and a
few spare chairs that could have
been dragged out had the King of
Siam or an exiled prince suddenly
popped out of the chilly first. night.
The first night of the revue, by
the way, was the clubs third BIRTH
day.
The show, straight from Monty

center, is beautifully dressed, light
hearted, melodious affair whose only
weakness was in the comedy depart
ment. Its six stately girls are not
many girls, but they are more than
compensatorialy pleasant to look at.
They wear their three stunning
changes of costume with an ease
