controversy on division of church

Writing in his capacity as presi-

a great many Americans do sup

well be a decisive majority"
Pointing out that complete

rare, Rabbi Bernstein asserted
nevertheless that on the issue OF
separation of church and state
''unanimity" existed among all
major Jewish religious and civic
groups"
They are all opposed to religi-

PLAIN TALK
BY Alfred Segal
A CERTAIN BOND BUYER

read that Mr.. Lessing Rosen-
wald who is the president of the
American Council for Judaism
-Zionist) recently gave out a
statement in which he said that
there is no unique duty" for
American Jews to buy Israeli
bonds.
Neither do l feel that there is
any unique duty upon me as an
American Jew to buy Israeli
bonds, but I have bought three Of
them. One for Ellen, one for Jan,
one for Paul. They are grandchil-
dren of mine. They will receive
the Israeli bonds on their BIRTH
days.
"A lady. Mrs. David PolaskY.
sold them to me. Though I am no
Zionist (mY only political identity
is that of being registered U. S.
Democrat) I couldn't put up any
sales resistance when Mrs. Pol
askY asked me please to buy some
Israeli bonds. That is to say there
was no question in my mind that
there could be any conflict be-
tween my being patriotic Amer
lean Democrat and lending some
money to Israel.
Nor could / feel that was i'm
pairing the patriotic standing of
my small grandchildren by en-
downing them with bonds of Israel
which would become due when
they were grown up. When that
time came they wouldn't be in the
least embarrassed to discover they
were the owners of Israel bonds.
didn't even feel that any ex-
PLANTATION. by way of apology. will
be due them when present them
with the bonds. They mightn't
understand it all. anyway. except.
perhaps Ellen who is eleven. TEL
len is the girl whose biographer l
have been in this column from
time to time since the day she was
born. Feb. "a. 1910. She was the
first Of the grandchildren
If any explanation were re-
quired I would tell Ellen: ELLEN,
here's gift for you. 1t is bond
of the State of Israel. 1t means
that in your name have loaned
some money for the purpose of
helping the people of Israel.
II loaned them this money in
your name because I thought that.
on your birthday. it was the finest
thing to help other people in the
world. even people who live far
away. To care about other people
in the world is to be good Amer
lean and a good Jew as well.
'The fact is Ellen, that a good
Jew can't help being a good
American as well. A Jew, who
knows his religion, is kind man.
He thinks of all other people as
brothers of his. He wants to be
free man and wants the same
freedom for all others. He loves
justice and speaks up for people
who aren't being treated justly.
That's being American and
Jewish both.
TO be just and kind is not only
for the benefit of your next door
neighbors. Ellen, this is a world
in which even girl who lives on
the other side of the world can
be called your neighbor. You see,
the world has become so small

Ever since basketball became E
game played to a score selected b,
the gambling syndicates, a movie
about it was inevitable.
It turned up at the Trans-Lua
yesterday under the terse title
THE Basketball Fix"
With a cast headed by Johr
Ireland, Vanessa Brown and Mar
shall Thompson. it repeats with
documentary fidelity - and not
much more drama-the story that
has been running in the news
papers for more than a year. The
sports columnists and editorial
writer's, with the help of a few
general assignment men, might
indeed have written the script OF
The Basketball Fix"
Central figure in the story is a
paraphrase Of any one Of dozen
vulnerable young men whose
names have been turning up in
the sports headlines. He is
talented ball handler. played by
young Marshall, who is spotted
during his high school days as a
target for the gamblers most per-
suaSive treatment.
They get him a job at rich
resort where he can learn about
de luxe living, and they make it
possible for him to meet girl ac-
Icustomed to luxuries and for
whom any sensible lad might log
Iically make any sacrifice short of
selling his soul. They also take
care of a dozen other details
which are calculated to soften up
the young mans honor and. when
these are out of the way. they ap-
ply the pressure.
To its credit, THE Basketball
Fix" has been directed by Felix

and amusingly sophisticated ur-
banites on the other. In the crisS-
cross of life. the shining noun
tain girl has her innocent fling
with the sophisticated composer
while the boy she loves learns q
little bit of life from the COM
poser's mistress, a famous prima
donna. They are all sorted out
as they should be by the time the
last song is sung.
The only thing that could make
this less beguiling now than it
was then is that the world may
have lost some of its innocence
since 1882. Mr.. Hammerstein's
brother. Reginald. who is pro-
ducing Music In The Air" on
Broadway again. simply is gambl-
ing on the fact that absolutely all
innocence has not been lost. There
is something charming about this,
too.
Unfeazed by the absence Of the
glistenlng production and cos
tunes in which it will perform in
New York. the cast of Music In
The Air gives it the works.
1t is unthinkable that anyone
could be a more engaging old
country composer than Charles
Winninger, senior member of the
Olney company. Santa Claus
himself could not play the role
more effectively and the others are
mot far behind in their excellence.
This goes indeed for Miss Pick
ems who lets her voice really fly on
some of the Kern -Hammerstein
music in her portrait of the world
ly prima donna; for Dennis King
as her philandering colleague who
makes a binge of decency out of
his brief romance with the coun-
try girl; and for Conrad Nagel as
the weary song publisher who re-
verts to the mountain cleanliness
I of his boyhood when the oppor-
Itunity arises.
The youthful lover roles are
played and sung by Lillian Muir
ply, a newcomer with a baby cas-
tile complexion and a voice of
matching loveliness; and by
Mitchell Greg whose village
strength and innocence make him
the most enticing male the
ipromiscuous prima donna ever
met.
I Mr.. Hammerstein who has di-
rected the new production of his
old favorite work has not had op-
portunity to work out the precise
timing and spacious formations
that will be possible on the stage
of the Ziegfeld theater in New
York. Music In The Air" there
will clearly be much more the pro-
duction everyone has in mind.
Evening star., 1951-09-26

King and Conrad Nagel as the
dominant performers.
1t would be an unalloyed Joy to
report the production as an un-
alloyed delight to the eye and ear,
but it also would be an exaggera-
ton. Music In The Air" is still
something of a charmer, melodi-
cally speaking, but on Olney's
small stage, it also bears some re-
semblance to Sunday afternoon
traffic bottleneck.
The production, which is pre-
Broadway, suffers most of all,
however, from settings which sug-
gest the prehistoric. This gives
Music In The Air" an old look,
not unlike some of those weary
Blossom Time" revivalS, and
quite unlike the shining works
which the public associates with
the magic name of Hammerstein.
Set and dressed as it will be in
New York in october, Music In
The Air will relieve it's talented
and enthusiastic cast of much Of
the burden of proving its fairy
tale fascination. AS it stands now.
1t is merely richer package than
summer theater audiences are ac-
customed to, limited as they
usually are to a single star and a
, handful of supporting players.
x X x
Even with the backing of
mere two pianos, Music In The
Air" leaves no question that the
Messrs. Hammerstein and Kern
wrote a winning musical score
those 10 years ago. Back in coll
text, II Told Every Little Star"
The Song Is You" And Love
Was Born" to mention but three
of the shows tunes, sound lovely
indeed. This is not merely because
they are sWeetly nostalgia but
also because the company which
Mr.. Hammerstein has directed re-
fleets his unfailing good taste
in casting. +
Nothing has been skipped in
this department which makes it
all the more painfully evident that
the production itself is not up to
Olney's own high summer theater
standard.
Music in the Air" has every
right to be a sweet memory and
a worthy candidate for revival
now. Back in 1882. musical books
were imbecilic. Here was one
that was nothing of the kind. In
stead, it was a sensible, senti- I
mental tale about some warm
hearted, happy Swiss who lived
with the notion that life should
be song.
They were a varied assortment,
simple villagers on the one hand
