THE JEWISH VOL. 2 No. 4 Basketeers Open Season Here December 25th Franz Polgar, Mental Marvel, Will Present Program Here January 5th An evening of extraordinary entertainment is in store for Savannahians when Dr. Franz J. Polgar, internationally famous mental telepathist and psychic personality, demonstrates his powers at the Jewish Educational Alliance Sunday night, January 5th. This will be the second feature of the Alliance 1946-47 Cultural Series. Dr. Polgar has appeared on in¬ numerable programs on both sides of the Atlantic and has been ac¬ claimed in the American press for his uncanny mental marvels. His photographic mind has amazed not only the laymen but scientists, art¬ ists and educators as well. Using volunteer subjects from his audiences, Dr. Polgar has accomp J^ihed feats bordering on the* super¬ natural as he calmly, and without obvious effort, exposes their thoughts through the powers of transference. Polgar combines his outstanding showmanship with his ability as an educator to produce a program of in¬ structive entertaiment. An expert showman, he holds his audience in a fever of suspense and then plun¬ ges them into howls of laughter with his quick wit and unexpected pranks.

M. The Alliance will try to uphold their record of never being defeated in an opening game.

Charleston will be led into bat¬ tle by two rangy lads known as the Seymour boys, Barkowitz and Rud ich by name. These two are rated to be the highest scoring forwards in the Charleston City League along with Freddie Bernstein, a star guard. These three men are returning ser¬ vicemen who did not see action against the Alliance last year and yet, without them, Charleston de¬ feated the locals in the Carolina city while losing a second contest in Savannah by one point in an over-time period. The Alliance is bolstered by the return of two high-scoring forwards and two newcomers into the fold. Bernie Kramer, said by many to be the best player to don a Tornado uniform, will be one of the starting forward positions while Abie Palef sky, a left-handed hook-shot artist, will be his running mate at the other forward position.
