Central Ohio's Only Jewish Newspaper ' Reaching^Every Home I A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER FOR THE JEWISH HOME Devoted to American and Jewish Ideals BytheWay By David Schwartz Hoover and Hebraism ' I "knew it wouldn't be long—and here it is. Herbert Hoover is a Jew! ^ How do i know it? Very simple. John KnoK says so—says it in "The Great Mistake" in which the President is taken for a tittle ride by one of his critics. It's one of ttie oldest tricks—just, call him a Jew, and your case against the man is proven. When they said Abraham Lincoln was a Jew—well, he tiad a good patriarchal Jewish name, and he wore a beard and told jokes titte Eddie Cantor. When they said Rojosevelt was a Jew —well, if Levine can become La Veen ¦ then Roosevelt might have come from Rosenberg. But Hoover—"Iioo ever" thought it would come to himl The Great Mistake Perliaps I am going a little too strong. For Knox in "The Great Mistake" doesn't absolutely say that Hoover is Jewish. To be perfectly fair to him, he only gives it as an opinion of some. Let mc quote him: "Some say that Hoovers came of Huguenot blood and that the family name was once Huber . . . Others would trace it to the German-Jewish colony around Frankfort and spelt it Hoffer." Knox himself, indeed, while giving the story of tlie Jewish origin, thinks it more likely that the family was of Swiss or Flemish origin, for he says, the family seemed to be fond of agriculture, and such a characteristic does not inhere to the Jew, he adds. Jewish Press in the Seventies I have been rummaging through some of tlie old Jewish periodicals of several generations back. One meets some curi¬ ous things. Thus, the Jewish Messenger of-1870 reports an item from London of a plan to send several hundred Jewish families from Prussia to America. The Jewish Messenger' became alarmed, and implored London Jewry not to burden America with so many Ger¬ man Jews. Listen to it: "Our people with all their benevolence and it cannot be overrated have enough to do to maintain our gigantic institutions and kindred societies, and all this they do readily and most cheerfully; but to add . to the burden, the maintenance and su^ port of hundreds of impoverished fami¬ lies ignorant of our language and per¬ haps without trades or professions, can¬ not secure their ¦cooperation. We en- „ treat most respectfully, yet most earnest¬ ly the cotaniittee' to rescind their reso¬ lution. There are at this time quite a i number of poor Israelites in dur midst, | who would gladly return to Europe, if they had the means." Seized by Alarm Remember that this was in 1870. A Jewish periodical is alarmed., at the thought of several hundred German Jews coming here I What would they have thought could they have known that twenty; years later, between a million and two million Jews were to pour in. ¦ American Jewish Girl of 1849 One gets from delving in these old periodicals, a feeling of the complete diflference in outlooks. Yesterday'seems to be a sort of dream world. Mary Pick- ford sensed this outmoding when she re¬ cently expressed the intention of de¬ stroying at her death all the films in which she appeared. Slie feels that they will look naive to the generations. of the future. Here is a good illustration of this proc¬ ess from the columns of the Asmonean, a Jewish periodical published in New York in 184!>. It is a letter from an irate par¬ ent to the editor—the parent aroused. to anger because some friend had pub¬ lished a poem written by his 14-year-otd girl. Editor, the Asmonean: On reading the Asmoneanj I am , amazed to see therein a few verses writ¬ ten by my daughter. Not being 14 years of age, she is entirely too young for her compositions to apiwar in print. I deem this ej(planation necessary tliat the read¬ ers of your paper may not snppose its publication was sanctioned by tier parents who would shrink from bringing the effusions of a child of her tender years before the criticaleyes of the public. B. Hart. Isn't it horrible—this idea of printing a poem by a 14-year-old girl. But that was the prim age, when little children and women were to be seen and not heard. A Convert oif Conviction In general, a rather starchedtjf. digni¬ fied air (pervades these old periodicals. Seldom is there the unbending of hu¬ mor. Once the Asmoiiean does tell an anecdote—anent the return of Heiji, the German poet to the Jewish fold. It relates how the famous. German Professor Gans, who was converted about the same time as Heine, was asked about his apostasy. "And you, Professor Gans, you were converted from conviction." "p yes," replied the professor, "f had the conviction that I should never be able to obtain any office as long as I should confess Judaism." When Bennett Chuckled Judging from these old Jewish files, there was in early America much more outspoken flings at the Jew than there is today. And tlie editorials of the Jew¬ ish papers are frequently taking excep¬ tion to these vituperative remarks. Thus, the Asmonean reprints the story of a circumcision, from the New York Herald, in which Bennett of the Herald, had his chuckle over some non-Jew, wtio for love of a Jewess, submitted to the rhe of circumcision. Said the Herald in 18-19: "This sacri¬ fice (circumcision) he made for love, and yesterday that wonderful rite was solemnly performed upon him at the Jewish synagogue.

JUDGE ROSALSKY RECOV¬ ERING NEW YORK-(J. T. A.) — Judge Otto A.

Judge Rosalsky, the dean of the general session jurists, is 58. ™^ Safety Week^^fetThN^FToS^iiWr^^ Preparations for the presentation of 'lolanthe," the famous comic opera hy Guilbert and Sullivan, by the Hillel Play¬ ers and the Hillel Choral Club, to he given May ICth and 17th, Saturday and Sunday nights of this week at the South¬ ern Theatre, corner Main and High Streets, have been entirely completed. Facilities of ttie theatre, which have proven Inadequate for the gigantic pro¬ duction, have been remedied. Stage si>ace, dressing rooms, and property facilities have been temporarily enlarged to permit the production of "lolanthe" on a scale for which perhaps no theatre in town is usually prepared. Finat rehearsals have been conducted in the theatre itself and everything is ready for a sensational first night. Beside a cast of principals including twelve, a male chorus of 18, and a girls' chorus of 15 members will participate in the opera. A twenty-eight piece orches¬ tra will occupy the pit. The cast of prin¬ cipals consists of the cream of Hitlel talents, who have made enviable reputa¬ tions for themselves in preceding success¬ ful musical presentations. Miss Dorothy Icove, playing the title role, will be re- meinbered for her—^shall we say, "lion¬ ess"' share in the success of the "Pirates of Penzance," which was given last year to the great delight of all who heard it. Miss Fanny Shiff's rk:h contralto has also been enjoyed in past Hillel productions over quite a period of years, and each time jvith more and more appreciation. Another old faithful in the ranks is Miss Sarah Bomberg, always a dependable pil¬ lar of Hillel efforts. Of the men, Sol Richard Kaplan,—better ktiown as one of the partners of the ever present, al¬ ways impropmtu; and irreiwessible Hil¬ lel vaudeville team of Rose and Rich* ards,—will surely be recalled-ufor--Ws- hilarious performance as-the sergeant of the police In the "Pirates," And the other member of the same team, Mr. (gratis) Morris Rosenthal as a chief of the bloody pirates. John C. Pixley's pleasant tenor voice doubtless lingers in the memory of tliose who heard him last year. Beside these members, a number of new men and women are taking part in the pres¬ entation, among whom many are slated to now make marks for themselves. The production is jointly sponsored by the Rose E. Lazarus Sisterhood and the Ohio State University Hillel Foundation. The production will be diriected. by Sam¬ uel R. Goldman, under whose baton all the previous musical efforts of the Hil¬ lel organizations have come to successful realization. Assistant director is Mr. Albert Kivowitz Kay; accompanist for ajl rehearsals and pianist for the per¬ formances is Florence Levine. Tickets for both performances, May 16th and 17th, at the Southern Theatre, may be reserved either at the office of the foundation. Phone: Wa. IG28, or from officers and members of the Rose E. Lazarus Sisterhood. The performance of "lolanthe" will be ttie last of a series of Guilbert and Sul¬ livan productions, begun several years ago. It will be the climax of a year's long effoi;t on the part of student or¬ ganizations working together imder the auspices of the Hillel Foundation, to cul¬ tivate and further the musical interests of the students, and to afford real oppor¬ tunity for the uncovering of latent talents. In this effort the Players and the Choral Cfub have unquestionably suc¬ ceeded to such an extent, that their per¬ formances now are expected and appre¬ ciated as important musical events in the whole cornmunity,—something not only well worthy of support, but to be appre¬ ciated on a high artistic plane. REBECCA LODGE TO MEET TUESDAY, MAY 19th The Columbus Rebecca Home Lodge will hold its next regular meeting on Tuesday evening. May 19th, at the home of Mrs. I. Garek, 875 Oak Street. Ahavas Sholem Sisterhood Meeting Sunday The Ahavas Sholem Sisterhood will hold Its regular meeting Sunday after¬ noon. May 17th.

Central Ohio's Only Jewish Newspaper ' Reaching^Every Home I A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER FOR THE JEWISH HOME Devoted to American and Jewish Ideals BytheWay By David Schwartz Hoover and Hebraism ' I "knew it wouldn't be long—and here it is. Herbert Hoover is a Jew! ^ How do i know it? Very simple. John KnoK says so—says it in "The Great Mistake" in which the President is taken for a tittle ride by one of his critics. It's one of ttie oldest tricks—just, call him a Jew, and your case against the man is proven. When they said Abraham Lincoln was a Jew—well, he tiad a good patriarchal Jewish name, and he wore a beard and told jokes titte Eddie Cantor. When they said Rojosevelt was a Jew —well, if Levine can become La Veen ¦ then Roosevelt might have come from Rosenberg. But Hoover—"Iioo ever" thought it would come to himl The Great Mistake Perliaps I am going a little too strong. For Knox in "The Great Mistake" doesn't absolutely say that Hoover is Jewish. To be perfectly fair to him, he only gives it as an opinion of some. Let mc quote him: "Some say that Hoovers came of Huguenot blood and that the family name was once Huber . . . Others would trace it to the German-Jewish colony around Frankfort and spelt it Hoffer." Knox himself, indeed, while giving the story of tlie Jewish origin, thinks it more likely that the family was of Swiss or Flemish origin, for he says, the family seemed to be fond of agriculture, and such a characteristic does not inhere to the Jew, he adds. Jewish Press in the Seventies I have been rummaging through some of tlie old Jewish periodicals of several generations back. One meets some curi¬ ous things. Thus, the Jewish Messenger of-1870 reports an item from London of a plan to send several hundred Jewish families from Prussia to America. The Jewish Messenger' became alarmed, and implored London Jewry not to burden America with so many Ger¬ man Jews. Listen to it: "Our people with all their benevolence and it cannot be overrated have enough to do to maintain our gigantic institutions and kindred societies, and all this they do readily and most cheerfully; but to add . to the burden, the maintenance and su^ port of hundreds of impoverished fami¬ lies ignorant of our language and per¬ haps without trades or professions, can¬ not secure their ¦cooperation. We en- „ treat most respectfully, yet most earnest¬ ly the cotaniittee' to rescind their reso¬ lution. There are at this time quite a i number of poor Israelites in dur midst, | who would gladly return to Europe, if they had the means." Seized by Alarm Remember that this was in 1870. A Jewish periodical is alarmed., at the thought of several hundred German Jews coming here I What would they have thought could they have known that twenty; years later, between a million and two million Jews were to pour in. ¦ American Jewish Girl of 1849 One gets from delving in these old periodicals, a feeling of the complete diflference in outlooks. Yesterday'seems to be a sort of dream world. Mary Pick- ford sensed this outmoding when she re¬ cently expressed the intention of de¬ stroying at her death all the films in which she appeared. Slie feels that they will look naive to the generations. of the future. Here is a good illustration of this proc¬ ess from the columns of the Asmonean, a Jewish periodical published in New York in 184!>. It is a letter from an irate par¬ ent to the editor—the parent aroused. to anger because some friend had pub¬ lished a poem written by his 14-year-otd girl. Editor, the Asmonean: On reading the Asmoneanj I am , amazed to see therein a few verses writ¬ ten by my daughter. Not being 14 years of age, she is entirely too young for her compositions to apiwar in print. I deem this ej(planation necessary tliat the read¬ ers of your paper may not snppose its publication was sanctioned by tier parents who would shrink from bringing the effusions of a child of her tender years before the criticaleyes of the public. B. Hart. Isn't it horrible—this idea of printing a poem by a 14-year-old girl. But that was the prim age, when little children and women were to be seen and not heard. A Convert oif Conviction In general, a rather starchedtjf. digni¬ fied air (pervades these old periodicals. Seldom is there the unbending of hu¬ mor. Once the Asmoiiean does tell an anecdote—anent the return of Heiji, the German poet to the Jewish fold. It relates how the famous. German Professor Gans, who was converted about the same time as Heine, was asked about his apostasy. "And you, Professor Gans, you were converted from conviction." "p yes," replied the professor, "f had the conviction that I should never be able to obtain any office as long as I should confess Judaism." When Bennett Chuckled Judging from these old Jewish files, there was in early America much more outspoken flings at the Jew than there is today. And tlie editorials of the Jew¬ ish papers are frequently taking excep¬ tion to these vituperative remarks. Thus, the Asmonean reprints the story of a circumcision, from the New York Herald, in which Bennett of the Herald, had his chuckle over some non-Jew, wtio for love of a Jewess, submitted to the rhe of circumcision. Said the Herald in 18-19: "This sacri¬ fice (circumcision) he made for love, and yesterday that wonderful rite was solemnly performed upon him at the Jewish synagogue.

JUDGE ROSALSKY RECOV¬ ERING NEW YORK-(J. T. A.) — Judge Otto A.

Judge Rosalsky, the dean of the general session jurists, is 58. ™^ Safety Week^^fetThN^FToS^iiWr^^ Preparations for the presentation of 'lolanthe," the famous comic opera hy Guilbert and Sullivan, by the Hillel Play¬ ers and the Hillel Choral Club, to he given May ICth and 17th, Saturday and Sunday nights of this week at the South¬ ern Theatre, corner Main and High Streets, have been entirely completed. Facilities of ttie theatre, which have proven Inadequate for the gigantic pro¬ duction, have been remedied. Stage si>ace, dressing rooms, and property facilities have been temporarily enlarged to permit the production of "lolanthe" on a scale for which perhaps no theatre in town is usually prepared. Finat rehearsals have been conducted in the theatre itself and everything is ready for a sensational first night. Beside a cast of principals including twelve, a male chorus of 18, and a girls' chorus of 15 members will participate in the opera. A twenty-eight piece orches¬ tra will occupy the pit. The cast of prin¬ cipals consists of the cream of Hitlel talents, who have made enviable reputa¬ tions for themselves in preceding success¬ ful musical presentations. Miss Dorothy Icove, playing the title role, will be re- meinbered for her—^shall we say, "lion¬ ess"' share in the success of the "Pirates of Penzance," which was given last year to the great delight of all who heard it. Miss Fanny Shiff's rk:h contralto has also been enjoyed in past Hillel productions over quite a period of years, and each time jvith more and more appreciation. Another old faithful in the ranks is Miss Sarah Bomberg, always a dependable pil¬ lar of Hillel efforts. Of the men, Sol Richard Kaplan,—better ktiown as one of the partners of the ever present, al¬ ways impropmtu; and irreiwessible Hil¬ lel vaudeville team of Rose and Rich* ards,—will surely be recalled-ufor--Ws- hilarious performance as-the sergeant of the police In the "Pirates," And the other member of the same team, Mr. (gratis) Morris Rosenthal as a chief of the bloody pirates. John C. Pixley's pleasant tenor voice doubtless lingers in the memory of tliose who heard him last year. Beside these members, a number of new men and women are taking part in the pres¬ entation, among whom many are slated to now make marks for themselves. The production is jointly sponsored by the Rose E. Lazarus Sisterhood and the Ohio State University Hillel Foundation. The production will be diriected. by Sam¬ uel R. Goldman, under whose baton all the previous musical efforts of the Hil¬ lel organizations have come to successful realization. Assistant director is Mr. Albert Kivowitz Kay; accompanist for ajl rehearsals and pianist for the per¬ formances is Florence Levine. Tickets for both performances, May 16th and 17th, at the Southern Theatre, may be reserved either at the office of the foundation. Phone: Wa. IG28, or from officers and members of the Rose E. Lazarus Sisterhood. The performance of "lolanthe" will be ttie last of a series of Guilbert and Sul¬ livan productions, begun several years ago. It will be the climax of a year's long effoi;t on the part of student or¬ ganizations working together imder the auspices of the Hillel Foundation, to cul¬ tivate and further the musical interests of the students, and to afford real oppor¬ tunity for the uncovering of latent talents. In this effort the Players and the Choral Cfub have unquestionably suc¬ ceeded to such an extent, that their per¬ formances now are expected and appre¬ ciated as important musical events in the whole cornmunity,—something not only well worthy of support, but to be appre¬ ciated on a high artistic plane.
