such . pleasant and unusual

attentive service.
Make no mistake. you pay
well for what you get here. but
It IL worth it Ye
When you start through the
maze Of doors that lead to the
long narrow series Of rooms that
comprise this restaurant, you
are apt to think you are step

Q speakeasy. And you almost ex-
pect Texas Guinan or someone
Of her ilk to pop out and below
at you as you reach the final
one-a gold leaf swinging door.
But once inside, the effect is
quite the opposite. The walls
and ceilings are dark--alternat-
ing red and black--with large
paintings in baroque frames.
There are heavy glass chande-
liers in which the lights burn
low. There's music too, some.
times live from q piano up
front. sometimes on record, but
always un0ptruStve.
Both the Iuncneon and dinner
menus are simple-steaks for
the most part. At lunch. two
are offered-a luncheon special
and the Louie's Teaser. which
Is described as Q pinch Of pate
and o touch Of mushrooms
wrapped In o dash Of sirloin.
Spaghetti CaruSi or potato
cheese or garlic bread. salad
and coffee are served with each.
At dinner you may pick from
eight ranging from chopped
steak (which the menu admits
would be called hamburger any
where else) to porterhouse for

BiuIik|s
Yuhrzeif
Observed
BY DAVID SCHWARTZ
Copyright, 1860, Jewish
TeIegraphic Agency, Inc.)

downright, 1860, Jewish
Telegraphic Agency, 1nco
They are now marking the
25th yahrzeit of the poet
Chain Nachman Bialik.
In one of Bialik's poems
for children is the following:
Blest be God
Who did create
:; Porridge with milk
Whole full plate
And after porridge
Also an orange.
This is not of course one
of the great poems of Bialik.
AS I say, it was written for
children and I think, only a
child or a great man could
have written it. AS Plcasso
once said, cit takes m n y
wears to become a child 1t
is really only the genulses
like Picasso and Bialik who
in adult years can still retain
the simple mind of the child.
The poem which first pro-
iected Bialik into world prom
inence as far as Jewry was
concerned was his "City of
Slaughter" written after the
Keshineff massacre. The bru'
tai event had brought world
wide criticism of the Rus
sian government, but Bla!lk
in his poem did not indict the
Russian government so much
as the Jews themselves for
their failure to fight back.
It was scarcely fitting for the
heirs of valorouS Maccabeans
to cover before the Russian
bullieS.
Maurice Samuel has noted
that John Milton wrote his
greatest poem, "Avenge, o
Lord, thy slaught d
Saints" following the Vau-
dois m a ssacre. Keshineft
brought forth Bialik's great
est work.
Not long before his death,
Bialik visited the us. Tour
ing the country, at one BAN
quet, the chairman, who
knew more about Storekeep-
ing than poetry, introduced
him as Doctor Bialik.
Bialik frowned. The chair
man concluded maybe he had
not given him enough honor,
so he quickly amended it to
Professor" Bialik.
The late Mr.. Rudensky of
the Jewish National F u n d
told me another anecdote in
connection with Bialik'S visit.
The poet was anxious to get
in touch with a nephew who
lived somewhere in Connecti-
cut. Mr.. Rudensky finally To-
Gated him. The nephew was
a truck driver and when he
learned that he was to be a
guest at a great b gu e t
given his uncle, he asked why
so much ado was made of his
uncle.
''He is a great meshorrer,"
said Rudensky. (In Hebrew
the word meShorrer means
both singer and poet.)
II never knew Uncle Chain
to have had much of a
voice." commented his neph-
eW.
Bialik liked to think of
himself, as he expressed it
in one of his poems, as a
"woodsman," who has hewn
with his axe"
If poets can join any union,
I suppose it would be a
WoodSman or lumberman's
union.
