Sisterhood Presents Braille Prayer Book
A , surprise presentation of a Union Prayer Book in Braille will be conducted by Mrs. Richard Abel, chairman of Brollle, ot Tues¬ day's meeting of the Rose E. Laz¬ arus Sisterhood at Bryden Rood Temple, 1 p. m.
Rev. Robert Leake, Rector ot St Albon's Episcopal (I^Urch, will give on Illustrated talk, on the "Joys of Antique (ToUectlng." Rev Leake, in the role of an authority on antiques, will not bo the flrat role In which many Sisterhood members have come to know and respect him. He has won communi¬ ty occlalm through his cooperation In (Tub Scouting, discussion groups and local inter-falth work.
Sharing the limelight of the Im¬ portant Braille activity of the Sis¬ terhood with a speaker of such stature, seems most fItUng.
Though the Braille activity In the local Sisterhood picture Is but a /ew years old, it has b^en National SUterhood activity for quite some time. It was introduced to the Rose E. Lazanis Sisterhood hy a former member who now re- aides In Louisville, Ky., Mgji^ Rar- rold Smith. Mrs. Richard Abel, present chairman, was one of this Sisterhood's first licensed Brail- lists. I
Since thc transcriptions are, for tho most part non-sectarian and are turned ovor to the Brollle pool, It seems most fitting that a large portion of the Dispatch Award check (tor community serv¬ loe) should go toward this most humanitarian and irhportant serv¬ ice.

"Dybbuk** Opens 3-time Run Tonisbt at Center
By MARILYN .g^MELSON
The artistry of a great classic, interpreted by expert direction and seasoned players; a moving story enhanced by the perfect setting; it ts on that note that the cnrtain will rise at 8:30 tonight at the Jewish Center for the first of three performances of Ansky's "The Dybbuk," presented by Gallery Players. Tomorrow and Monday evenings will complete the run.
This seml-hlstorlcol Yiddish folk play Is a "first" In many ways for Gallery Players, for It has em¬ ployed' resources of the group never before realized', yet it only gives further proof of the remark¬ able capacity of a so-called ama¬ teur group to give true profession¬ al flavor to Its productions,
"The Dybbuk" is one of the flrat productions in which we con soy there Is no leading role, for though some ore lengthier than others, each characterization Is so complete and so fine, that each role Is a leading one In Itself. Many persons will be familiar to our regular theatre-goera, having ap¬ peared in previous Gallery produc¬ tions. Others hove a background In Little Theatre, and those who moke this show their Initial en¬ deavor In theatre, have the feeling of being seasoned players after working under the truly fine di¬ rection of Reuben Silver.
Lovely Esteilo Center will be seen as the young bride, Leah. (Gannon, her prerdestlned bride¬ groom, whose spirit enters her body in the form of a Dybbuk, is being played by Marvin Bonowitz. Marilyn Samelson '^11 he seen as Frade, the old nurse, and Irwin Barkan is Sender, Leah's father. The two outstanding rabbis are portrayed by Alfred Lushhelm and Joseph Boxer.
Other equally Important roles ore capably handled by Marian Gilbert Aaron Supowlt, (Tharlle Roai, Sanford Timen, Stanley No¬ vak, Irving Levey, Andy Miiyer, Leonard Bloom, Alex Stregevsky, Eli Ableman, Marvin SUberateln, Nate Coopersmith, Marion Soom- (^oatinned on pare 51
