America but el ewhere, will welcom~

On<" could suggest more useful / channels for hi surplus dollars. The' Jewish conspiracy bogey will be laid.

but it is very unfortunate that the

I

law does not prc,tect a race from };bel so that Ford can. if he so de ires continue to spread the gospel of anti- Semitism. He wants to Loycott the Jew. Let the Jew boycott Ford and hi manufactures.

To celebrate the barmitZ\ ah of their son Barney~ Mr. and Mr~. P.

Dodo\.\itz, gave a dinner and dance at the Regent Palace Hotel on atur- day night, a_t which there were over one hundred guest . It wa a per- fectly arranged affair a~d thorou~hly enjoy d by all. Precisely at eight dinner was erved. and after the des ert the toast of the harmitz\ ah boy wa given by Mr. L. Gradner . to which the former re pondPd with commendable brevity. The toast of the parents and grandparents wa .re- plied to by Mr. "' Pinny" Dndow1tz.

The ah ence of the nurnerou and lengthy speeches usually asf'ociated with uch function wa generally welcomed. o one was bored with harmitzvah party platitude , and a dainty dinner \\a un poileo. Tl1en there. was a delightful dance, to the playing of Mr. Harry Ja;,ohson ~d

many of hi relative and friends assembled. J\\o one was urprised that he acquitted him elf a he did for Barnev i a bright bey. At the r ception 'his reply to the toast wa quite impromptu. which. of cour~e.

parations to relurn lo her nalfr heath. During her sojourn o\·er~eas .Jfis Zuckerman enhanced her reputa- tion a~ a fir-t-cla.s pianist. She i, an old student of the Collcg.-. of

Im·ic and in London she wa~ a pupil of i\Tr. Harold Cmxton al Lhe Royal Academy. gainin~ the rlt>grec of L.R.A.l\J. there. It is hf'r inten- tion. on her return to Cape Town, to open a tudio.

OPERATIC D ¹\.\CII\G.

E~pinosa, the well-known teacher

of operatic dancing, returned to Eng·

land by la t Friday· mail boat after a ~horL visit to J ohanneshurg for the purpose of e ·amining: the pupil of the dance teachers of that citv. He was invited hy the Joham;eshurg dancing teachers to conduct the examination under the au nice of the A~sociation of Operatic Danring of Great Britain, of '•hich he is a rnem- her and an examiner. ⁷ot only did l\Ir. E pinoza examine teacher.s who presented them~elve for that purpose, hut a number of chlldren gave e-xcellent re ult-when they were te ted. The Cape Town D=.mce Teachers' As ociation had not arranged for an examination hy Mr.

Kpinosa, hut e\.eral pre ·ented them- selYe and he found time to conduct an examination. Mi s :Vliriam Kir_ch pas ed the advanc :l ¹ivision, \'hilst :Mis Francis Ila rison gained an in- terme<liate and Miss PP.ad Lazarus and Miss Elvira Kirsch ea<'l1 passed the elementary stage.

DA GERS OF TOE DA CI1 G.

In a conversation Mr. E~pino a

·wa very enthusia tic about outh African dancer , but he issue<l a warn- ing note in regard to the manner in which young children were being Laught. He deprecated the tPndency of outh African teacher to put little mite to toe-dancing and other intri- cate forms of dancing. While teach- ing in South Africa -wa on a high plane, owing to the ambitions of mothers. children of seven and eight were given work that should he re- sen-ed for much older girl . A a r , ult, there was a great dan!!"er that the children would lo e that beauty of body and symetry of limb they now po sessed. The object of the Association of Operatic- Dancing, formed in London six vear ag-o wa to tandardi e and improveinsl~uction

in operatic dancing and Kpino~a', Yisit to outh Africa ha undoubtedly done a lot of good.

:VIR. HERZ GROSSBARD.

A distinguished

J

ewi::-h actor arrived in Cape To rn on Mor.day

011 a brief \ isit, and la ... L night a re·

ception v. as tendered to him ~y .th Cape To\\Il ~' .. accah an Assocrnt1on, at the Old Synagogu . Gardens. .Mr.

Herz Grossbard. a memh r of the famous

v

ilna troup of Jewi=sh adors, is well known in Europe and his pro- ductions have alwa ·s Leen enthu:::ias- ticalh re ·eiYed vd1er 'rer ... taged. On }londay night, the Pre ident of t.he 1\laccabeanss, }fr. B. Rosto'""ky, m- troduced the visitor. 'rho wa heartily '"elcomed by tbe Rev. A. P. Bcn~ler in the name of the Jewi h com:!.numty.

Hi fame had preceded him, said :Mr.

B nder. and he hoped that '·ith hi undoubted ability \fr. Grnssbard would hm¹e a succc ~fol tour in outh Africa.

A TALENTED JEWI H ACTOR Eloquent testimony wa paid lo ~Ir.

Gro bard's dramatic ability by Mr.

:.\leyerowitz of the Michaelis chool of Art. The latter referred to Ansky's play '"The Dybbuk," which he wit- nes ed in Berlin ~ome vear ago, and which wa staged la~t. month by the Forum Theatre Guild at the London Royalt Theatre. Mr. Grossbard craYe an enjoyable recital from the

~rorks of Peretz, and hi audience had an excellent opportunity of juding hi great talent a an e~­

ponent of Jewi h literary and theatn- cal art. One hopes the o-eneral public will be criven the opportunity of see- ing thi eminent actor at work and, although hi vi it

'"ill

be of hort duration, it may h po ihle to arrange a recital b fore he leave -.
