his example was not entirely
| wasted upon those to whom he
gave it. He has suffered every
agony, deprivation and degra-
tion that humanity can devise for
its special victims, but never once
has he questioned the goodness
of God. nor indeed spoken a word
of protest.
The story Of his arrival in
Heaven and its joy in his coming

by Mr.. Joseph and Mae Agnes

breaks a lifetime of silence to

Nearest in its approach to the
conventions Of dramatic form is
the play which closes the trilogy,
"The High School"
This. a poignant appeal for
equalityfor Jews in education, is
the work of an incredibly good
humored man. Sholom Aleichem
was no observer of human rela-
tions to resign himself to in
justice and repression but neither
could he fail to see in it glints
Of the divine comedy.
He presents his Aaron Katz
family as victims, but not re-
signed ones. certainly not in the
person of Mrs. Katz who is ready
to take on both her husband
and the world to right this
strangling wrong. For all her
deadly earnestness. Mrs. Katz
can be a hilariously funny char
acter. her husband a funnier
one in his weary acceptance Of
the worlds injustice and his
wife's endless naggir1g.
In this wedge of tragi-comedy,
Mrs. Fichandler has turned
again to Mr.. Joseph and Miss
Chodoff as her principals and
she could not have chosen more
artfully. Peter Barash as the
student son contributes a trinity
sensitive characterization here.
Dick O'Neill bright and briefly
funny one, and Alan Coates a
properly sinister bit as the school
principal who symbolizes the
pattern of rejection.
Two impressive Incidental fea-
lures of Arenas 'The World Of
Sholom Aleichem" are Aline
Bernstein's costumes from the
original New York production
and a musical score. uncredited
in the program, which dramati-
cally intensifies the folksy tang
of the production. Highly useful
too in stressing the simple di-
rectness of it all are Kenneth
Scollon's unobtrusive settings.
