TUESDAY EVElNING,
FEBRUARY 28lh
16th Birthday of Broad Street Temple—Sister¬ hood Fittingly Celebrated
0\er 200 Loyal Supporters of
Temple Participated in Gala
Affair Last "Wednesday
Was a  time when  sentiment  held sway  in  the  theatre.    It   went  out  of,
¦ fashion some >cars ago.    Only occasionally does it come back.    In "The Jazz
Singer," thc come<ly drama with George Jessel  in the title role^^ which opens
at thc Hartman next Thursday,, Friday and Saturday only, there is ii return to
the ohlen, golden days.
On the face of it, "Thc Jazz Singer" is one of those plays made to iorder— with sympathetic appeal to mothers and fathers who, mayhap, have seen their hoys face situations similar to this depicted in the play; a lad who runs away from home to follow his own bent, only to return in the final balance; a boy who forsakes glamor and glory..
The Author
Well, it sounds like, what the moderns call hokum—and it is, after a fashion; but, in working out his story, Samson Raphaelson, the author, struck a deeper keynote, one vibrant with y\\ the emotion kindred to an old age devotion—father and mother love.
George Jesseli who in his youthful years, bad entertained in the music halls, easily-essays the role of the ybung cantor, sixth in the line of heritage to a precious possession, a singing voice. He goes from the synagogue to the show house, and back again in logical procession, so that the transition from one phase to the other is easy and natural; what is more, in keeping.with the thematic con¬ struction of the play. The boy is forsooth, an actor, singer. And this is just what thc role demands.
there is a wealth of material in "The Jazz Singer""good wholesome comedy; a straightforward atory; fine character delineation, and an ending built stage by stage nntil it almost touches the sublime in theatricals. The Mother Hole^
Particularly fine is the mother role played by Ann Lowenwirth; and the father's part in the liands of Joseph Schoengold is ever true to life; a stern old orthodox religionist who never relinquished an ideal. Since there is such a contrast between the sacred and profane spheres of life, there ig room here for all manner of men and women.
In one {{rand moment of fervor at the very end of the play, with synagogue services, "The Jazz Singer" lifts itself by its own boots out of the rut of comely comedy and lands on the list of tasting memories in the theatre.

Another Successful Dinner Was Put Over Last Tuesday Night By The Brotherhood of The Brydeii Road Temple With Rabbi M. M. Feuerlicht As the Main Speaker
Vffair  Was  Held  at the  Southern  Ilote!  Winter  Garden—Noted  Indiana Jewish Leader Delivers a Thought-Provoking Address on "Judaism and Modern Thought"—Points Out the Salient Principles of Our lime-Honored Faith—Speaker Was Introduced by a Fellow-Alumnus of the Hebrew Un¬ ion College* Rabbi Jacob Tarshish   . —Abe Weinfeld Presided
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS ARE MADE REGARDING
SEVERAL FORTHCOMING EVENTS, INCLUDING THE
THIRD DINNER WITH DR. FISHBEIN AS THE
SPEAKER AND GUEST OF HONOR
Over 225 loval and enthusiastic boost¬ ers of the Brjden Road Temple turned out last Tuesday evening, February 14lh, at the Southern Hotel to hear Rabbi Morns M Feuerlicht ot Indianapolis, Indiana, expatiate on thc salient prin¬ ciples of our time-honored faith ant) de¬ fend it against the fallacies of modern thinking.
The eloquent Rabbi emphasized thc greatness and the grandeur of the God of Israel,,the Divine Being which is, re¬ flected in Nature and in Life.; He based his address on the Old Testament text, "I am the Lord, thy God who has brought thee< forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage," and appealed for a more consecrated loyalty, and devotion to this God who ivas, and is, and ever mil be. He decried current no¬ tions on marriage and home-life and at¬ tributed a good deal of the unrest now obtaining in this land to the pernicious influence of alheisiii, agnosticism, and wrong thinking. ,
"Without an abiding, an iinshakable, and an unwavering faith in the Univer¬ sal Father," he declared, "Life is mean¬ ingless, is a veritable ship without a rudder."
"Man is not a mere automaton and a puppet," he continued. "He possesses a soul which places hini at the pinnacle of Creation, and a mind which gives him dominion over all creatures and virtually sets him near the ingels of. Heaven,"
The Kabbi also pointed out that Juda¬ ism is not static^ but dynamic, and is con¬ stantly unfolding clearer and better views oil life and life's problems.
"Our government and our nation," he pointed out, "have been greatly influenced by  He^aic thought,  especially  by  Uie
Old   Testament.    Tlie   founders  of  our 1 cpuhlic were saturated witji the spirit of . Moses, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel."
The Rabbi was introduced ,by Rabbi Jacob Tarshish, a fellow alumnus of the Hebrew Union College, who spoke high¬ ly of his attainments and of his stand¬ ing among his colleagues. Abe Wein¬ feld, president of t|ie Brotherhood, pre¬ sided. On behalf of the Brotherhood, Aaron M. Neustadt thanked Dr. Feuer¬ licht for "his scholarly address/* and ex- r pressed the fond'hope that, lie will again be the guest of the Brothcchood at some , future date.
Dr. Morris Goldberg led in the sing¬ ing Which preceded the appearance of Rabbi Feuerlicht. The Harmony Four Quartet entertained with a number of delightful selections which were greeted with vociferous .acclaim by all present.
Before introducing the speaker of the evening, Rabbi Tarshish explained the failure of the broadcasting from Temple Israel last Sunday and assured all those present that on Sunday, February 19th, no one will be disappointed. He also announced the forthcoming Congrega¬ tional Seder on Thursday evening, April 5th, and the Spring Fete to be held on Tuesday evening, April 17tli, under the joint auspices of the Brotherhood and Sisterhood of the Temple.
Last, but not least, Rabbi Tarshish annouiKed also the third dinner of the Brotherhood ou Monday evening, March l&th; witli Dr. Morris Fishbein of Chi¬ cago, Illinois, editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association, as the speaker and guest of honor. He pre¬ dicted a ittinimum atteiidarice of 250 for the third dinner.
