Bolitho, the Noble
Tlic Zcta Beta Tau college fraternity,
IV uch givea that annual prize to the man
who has rendered the greatest service
Jo Jewry, should rememher Hector Bo-
It isn't exactly thai Mr. Bolitho has particularly rendered a great service, as It IS that he sought to do so, or perhaps Jt exactly that. What he tried to do Js to free himself from a prejudice iaiiist Jews, and to do that, he went lb far as to make a special trip to Palestine.   ,
Now, he didn't succeed. He's still an anti-Semite, he admits, but shall we be so puny as to judge by results only? Was It not enough that here was a man so eager to be free from Jew hatred, that he made a special trip to cleanse his soul?
it strikes me as a most noble action. This act of Hector Bolitho moves me as no act since Hector was a pup. That Salty Taste Think of it, folks. I can almost visu¬ alize the scene. Mr. Bolitho wakes up one morning and notices a salty feeling in his mouth and a stain on his soul.
I hate the Jews, he says to himself. it isnt right, he adds, that my soul should be stained with so mean a vice. I shall try to rinse it out with turpen¬ tine and lemon juice, aye, even with Ivory soap. He tries them all. But still that dirty hate .remains.
But Hector does not give up. "I will go to Palestine itself and there perhaps the waters of Jordan will wash out the blot, as the prophets of old washed out the iniquity of Israel."
No, He Says, Duty Calls Perhaps it was one of those beautiful days, when it is oh to be in England, A much too nice a day to be going to Palestine, when the sun was shining and he could go to the golf links, ,    But duty is duty.   As Wellington said: ""ngland expects every man to do his .miy.   Shall it be said tHit "Hector Bo¬ litho has failed?   Nay, it shall not. ,    And yet thoughts of golf plague Hec¬ tor's heart:   And there comes Meadows —"Shall 1 get yon tea and then your golf attire?" asks Mradows.
"No," says Bolitho solemnly. "No, Meadows, No.   No."
Meadows wonders what has come over Bolitho. He sees a sadness come over Bolitlio's face. Never was his master like this, thinks Meadows. Ah, he does not know that Bolitho is wrestling with his soul. He does not know that golf and tea and the English countryside are .tearing Bolitho's heart strings, but that . ^Bolitho is determined, to be adamant to 'ill this—and .go to Palestine and cleanse Ss soul of Jew hatred.
Went to Wrong Place
But my personal opinion is that Bo-
. 'ho went to the wrong place.   Instead
t going to Palestine to relieve himself
fhatred of the Jews, he should have
.,   ie to some place recommended, by phy-
..:,. V. for reducing a swelled head. For
l>   . can be more arrogant—what more
. .perlative egotism can  there be—that
i   '^hes   indeed   tO' the   boundaries   of
idiocy—that  he  should  think  that his
opinion of the Jews or of any other
people is of such general consequence,
tliiir he must make a trip to free himself
,-', irom it and then write a book about it?
(   1 wonder what Bolitho would think if
..cic so prcsumptious to go to England
¦ the same purpose, and then write a
'.- of the same purport as he has.
,1   would laugh at me.
.:¦' I laugli at him.'   In a year when
,..v is %a little humor, he is indeed re
'i!iing.
That Terrible. Vigor
ll,, Bolitho simply cannot stand, he
.ilff-sses, the vigor of Zionist agitation.
T: you leave out the word "Zionist"
:rV .nbstitute American, the same thing
aid by the forefathers of Mr. Bo-
when the American colonists pro-
i circa 1776.
ificcd, I would not have to trouble niy.'.eli very much to quote even stronger teniis.
Perhaps, Mr. Bolitho, this Jewish '.iffor is reanired to offset the vigor of f.iliii Bull's bull headedncss.
r,;rliaps this vigor of agitation might ,,1,,;  lie present, if England had faith- Uilly kept the promise it made during the war, when it needed the JeWs, as to the rebuilding of the Jewish Homeland, Bis Other Hatea Mr. Bolitho does not like other things, Tel  Aviv, he declares,  is an .aesthetic blimiicr.   Pcrhai>s,   But perhaps it is no worse tlian Whitechapel and other sec- lions where the poor of England dwell.

Hillel Players to Present Play
on Anti-Semitism Nov.
16 and 18
Max Nordau's gripping play on antt- Siemitism in Germany before the World War will receive excellent presentation and handling when it is produced Thurs¬ day and Saturday evenings, November 16 and 15/by the Hiller Players at IJni- versity Chapel. Nordau's vehicle, en¬ titled ''A Question of Honor/' will feature Ester Levinson, star of "R. U.. U.," and Henry Fineberg, another vet- et-an, in the leading roles.
The play portrays quite exactingly in a dramatic fashion the nature of the an¬ ti-Semitic feeling at the time. So realistic is the play that many times its produc¬ tion in Germany; Austria and Hungary was not allowed.
Miss Levinson takes the part of Chris¬ tine, daughter of a rich German who was a" Jew by'Hrth but intermarried and wias baptized. She falls in love with Dr. ICohen, a brilliant Jewish scientist, played by Mr. Fineberg. Her brothers, una¬ ware of their half-Jewishness, so to spealc, oppose the match and defy Kohen to marry .their sister. Much conflict arises during the various scenes- and duel is fought between Dr. Kbhen and one of Christine's brothers. The end¬ ing is tragic.
The play is in four acts, and being a tragedy it requires the utmost dramatic ability, a real test for the play¬ ers indeed. Herman H. Giles, member of the University High School faculty, is directing the production.
•Others to appear in the cast are Jerome Schwartz, Jerome Gans, Milton Esco¬ vitz, Leonard I. Schiff, Jerome Roth, Ruth Coslow, Faye Silberstein, Pauline Bokal, Ted Horwitz, Bert Marks and Rubin Nadler.-
