IMAGfG TALE OF'MANY MOONS'IS NEXT GALLERY PLAY.AT CENTER NOV. 23-25
By AL LUSSHEIM
iit^j^Next week-end (Nov. 23-2S) brings to young Columbus the long- a'vralted children's play, "Many Moons," a rare stage event for ybU^gstera of oil ages. Little hands will clasp, little faces will beam i.'^yijth amlles and little eyes will stare in wonderment. "Many Moons" Iff, thftt Jtind of a show—brimful with picturesque people and roman- (tlehftppentnga. It is tiound to stir young hearts and minds and to jl^ke aVlaatlng: place in the childhood memories of our young ones.
The idea ot reviving the Chil¬ dren's Theatre originated with the Parents Group of the Center Pre-School, who presented the suggestion to Gallery -Players. Both groups share equally in the credits for the coming produc¬ tion. The disappearing circus and the all,but forgotten puppet show have left for our children Uttle but a nufnber of TV shows which must of necessity lack the thrill of a shared living experience.
To give the children of our community the exciting Impact of tt "live" show, no better story could have been chosen than this dramatic adaption of James Thurber'a tender tale about Prin¬ cess Lenore and her craving to own the moon. The wit and wis¬ dom   of    Thurber's ^ lines     blend

'SHUL'OR'SHEa'OR WHERE AM i?
MINNEAPOLIS,   ijTA) Reuben   Peterson,   assistant   janitor
at two different synagogues here, ran into considerable linguistic difficulty, according to a report In the "American Jewish World" of MinneijpoJia-St. Paul. It seems that Peterson answered the telq- jjhone at the Knesseth Israel synagogue. He said: "This is the Sheel—no, I mean the Shul." . Then, completely flustered, he turned to the t-antor standing nearby, and asked "Where am I?"
The cantor, without the time to go into the whole story of Yid¬ dish dialects, told him that when he is where he was, he's in "Shul" - but when he's working at the 'Tlfereth B'nai Jacob Synagogue he's in
"Sheel."    But Peterson had figured his own way out by that time	
and in a matter calculated to win friends ahd Influence people, no matter what the country of origjn of their particular brand of Yid¬ dish.    He told the caller. "Oh. you know. I'm at the synagogue."

event   ut   the   J^jwlsh i to report that 47% in cash on 1056 campaign funds has already been
received.     "This  is  normal,"   he stated,  "but  In   view  of  the   recyjnt

beneficiary, collections must  be accelerated at  once."
Herbert A. Friedm|in, executive vice-chairman of the United Jewish Appeal, reported to un emergency meeting of the UJA Nat¬ ional 'Campaign Cabinet recently that the flow of refugees to Israel has not diminished, but instead has been Increasing. It Is estimated that the present rate of immigration will probably exceed the 61.000 which will have urHvud this year. There is an over- whemlng desire on the part of Jews from Morocco and other lands to live In peace arid dignity among, their fellow Jews.
Moses A. ^eavltt, executive vice-chairmt\n of the Joint Disiri' biition Committee, at the same meeting, emphasized that "the contln-
