ioveliest words and music the
author and composer could write.
1t is q matter of common knowl-
edge that this is precisely what
they have provided in The score
of THE King and l."
y 4
It is an altogether pleasing
company that has inherited the
version Of Anna and her
King.
Miss Morrison as the heroine
Is a singer who can act (who can
also paint and write although
these are not required this time)
She has all the fire and firmness
q pretty English widow needs to
teach Western ways to a royal
despot who has not the slightest
notion that he is a deSpot. Be-
yond this. she has the voice to
catch every lovely shade Of her
varied music and to restore it
again to freshness in the con-
text Of the play.
Mr.. Graves is a properly blus-
tering King. a tyrant whose self
confidence barely manages to
the experience Of meet
ing a Western woman whose con.
cept of woman's place Is so out
un-Siamese.
As Anna and the King these
dominate the play. but not with
out some altogether happy sup
port from Norma Larkin, as Lady
Thiang, the head wife: Suzanne
Lake as the poignant Tuptim:
Patrick Adiarte, as the crown
prince; Alfred Cibelli. jr.. as the
prime minister; and Ken Reno
as Tuptim's Inflated lover.
Beyond these, a curtsy to
everyone in the ballet, "The
Small House of Uncle Thomas"
the most imaginative and de-
lightful version of Uncle Toms
Cabin" since the days of Harriet
Beecher Stowe.

charm has become institutional,
Il remains charm nevertheless
and an irresistible variety Of 1t.
As observant humans know.
! II is in the nature Of humans to
lose intensity In the repetition
OF words and actions. Rodgers
and Hannmerstein have guarded
well against this. however. They
have taken the precaution, first.
Of making the words and actions

help to keeping the spirit Of the
musical high.
Another sound precaution is
10 be found in the choice Of
Patricia Morrison as the II" or
heroine of the production and Of
Leonard Graves as the King.
Both are quite familiar, as are
others of the company. with the
duty Of performers to keep shin
ing things shining.
Because they are, 1t Is a
spleasure to see and hear the
lovely fragments Of song and
story scattered through the years
reassembled in the complete
eontext Of "The King and ]"
The productions four weeks
here should be one Of the incest
things that could happen to
August.
N To see 1t for the first time, or
the nth, is to recognize Mar
garet Landon's warm and visit

and the King of Siam as q musi-
cal natural. That its conversion
waited for the talents Of Rich

recognition easier.
It's point, set to such music
as Hello. Young Lovers" Get

but even fall in love. The theme,
of course, could not be more
timely than when o.. Alexis
johnson and Wang Ping-nan
meet in Geneva to see II they
can get together with . less ro-
mantle end in view.
In the matter of book. or story,
"The King and I" Is pretty close
TO the best Of the Rodgers and
Hammerstein musicals. It has
everything that is innately dra-
matte, the love story Of an Eng
lish schoolteacher and an ORR
entail monarch: sex that is as
amusing as it is rampant; con-
fiicts of manners, attitudes. and
even menues.
Nevertheless, as Miss Morrison,
Mr.. Graves and the others in
Guiding a multitude of children,
make clear, all these are differ
ences that attract rather than
repel. The teacher and the King.

Few relationships could be more

One of the commentaries claims
that this is means of having an
individual remember his name
properly so that when he is asked
for it on the Day of Judgment he
will have it in mind.
Some of the commentaries give
a more practical background for
this custom. In ancient times the
people of Israel were driven, per-
secuted and many times captured
and enSlaved. 1t became a custom
to protect the identity of the chill

QUESTION: Why is il custom
ary TO recite q verse from the
Bible each day which begins with

custom and in many traditional

verses may be found correspond
ms 10 a respective list of names.

verse began with the first letter
of the child's name and ended
with the last letter. Thereafter,
should the child be captured, i'm
prisoned and converted, as hap
pened in many instances, the
original identity of the child
could be learned by asking for
the verse which the child kept
repeating over and over in his
mind. The custom served as a
means of determining the iden-
tity of Jews who had been cap
tured.
Many times in the Talmud the
text mentions that some child was
asked to quote a verse from the
Bible and upon this verse a
course of action was noted. To
this day this custom has remained
with us and to make sure that the
verse is repeated regularly it was
ordained that it be repeated by
the individual after the main
body of prayer = the Sh'moneh
ESreh.
QUESTION: Why are the books
of traditional literature which
contain the oral law as derived in
Babylonia and Palestine called
the "Talmud?"
ANSWER: The term 'Talmud"
comes from the Hebrew root
which means to study" or to
learn" Since the literature
known to us as the Talmud IS
actually work which reveals the
learning" or the study" OF the
sages in its development, the term
is a fitting one. Some claim that
The forms of the word "Talmud"
in the Talmudic literature indi-
cate that each law was derived in
some measure from an eXegetlcal
extraction from a Biblical text.
The term Talmud thus indicates
the sense of derivation from the
Bible and shows a continuity in
Jewish law and thinking.
