sistance, depicts the Jewish under

tinian kibbutz, or communal settle
ment.
Dana Andrews, Jeff Chandler,
Marta loren and Stephen McNally

took place in Hollywood on the
beach near Monterey, Calf, in the
San Fernando Valley and the Mo-
jave Desert. Robert Buckner pro-

thanks and appreciation. DR.. MAJ
Nordau was only second to DR.
Theodor Herzl and was his princi
pal collaboration during the perioC
when foundations were laid fol
the achievement of political Zion
ism.
"Dr. Nordau was one of the
greatest figures in European lit.
erature. His rallying to the Zionist
flag and participation in public
Zionist conferences added prestige
to the young movement in the
eyes of both the Jewish and non
Jewish world.
"Due to his stirring addresses
from the platform at Zionist Con-
crosses, DR.. Nordau's influence on
the Zionist movement and on
world Jewry was even greater
than the influence he welded on
the outside world"
The Phoenix Jewish news., 1949-08-19

A radio program dedicated to
the centennial celebration of the
birth of DIR. Max Nordau was pre-
sented last Saturday by Arizona
Brandeis District, Zionist organi-
zation of America, over radio sta
ton KOOL.
The program was narrated by

anniversary of the birth of DR..

est and most successful studios in
Hollywood, as a humanitarian, a
civic leader, a writer and public
speaker, to name but a few of his
diversified activities, he has been
an outstanding figure as far back
as most people in motion pictures
can remember.
Then too, no enumeration of the
fields in which he has achieved
distinction would be complete
without a mention of his unique
position of intellectual leadership.
At times he has been virtually a
Hollywood oracle, consulting on
all sorts of industry questions.
Undoubtedly, closer to his heart
than all else has been RKO Radio
Pictures Studio. No offers of other
important and usually far more
remunerative studios have ever
been sufficiently tempting to lure
him from his post as executive
producer Of RKO.
TO MANY, the most astonish-
ing thing about Sid Rogell is not
so much the magnitude of his ac-
complishments, as it is the ease
with which he attends to his num-
berless duties as studio chief.
Sid has been in the movie busi-
ness for almost 80 years, and for
nearly Is of them has straddled
the path, so that no one has been
able to get past him either way.
There are few careers in Holly
wood equal to his in variety and
acuteness of interests.
In 1886 RKO Radio Pictures
made him an offer he could not
afford to turn down and so he
became its studio manager. A
short time later he was promoted
to the position of executive pro-
ducer, a job in which his business
and organization skills as well as
his creative ability could find full
use.
In this capacity, he produced %
pictures during his first IL
months. His personally produced
films were particularly successful,
and finally, in 1948, he saw his
efforts crowned by that symbol so
eagerly sought in Hollywood, an
Academy Award. This was for the
famous documentary feature, DE
sign for Death"
