I met Mrs. Rebecca Kohut on th
Leviathan going to the Hamburg l n *
ternational Congress of Jewish W -
men. This brilliant leader among the
Jewish women of the United State!
was the Chairman of the Conference'
What was accomplished I don’t know
as I haven’t been home long enough
to read the back copies of the News
papers. Mrs. Kohut has always been
an interesting figure in Jewish lif e
in this country. She has a wealth of
information about the Jewish fami-
lies of New York who were among the
“Victorian” groups, and I would like
to see a volume from her pen on
“Interesting Jewish Personalities I
‘Have Known.” She might add a
chapter or two of their contribution
to the Jewish life of the nation. But
I am afraid that my wish is rather
a hopeless one as Mrs. Kohut in
formed me that she has already writ
ten one book she didn’t want to write,
with which many of my readers are
familiar, “My Portion.” And now
she has completed a second book which
she wrote against her will, which
will be brought out in the Fall hy
Doubleday Page, If it is as interest
ing as her first book it is sure to
be widely read and I, for one, am
looking forward to reading it with a
great deal of pleasure.
I also met Maurice Wertheim, one
of the inspirational leaders of the
Theatre Guild movement and who was
largely responsible for bringing this
extraordinary organization to its
present successful place on the Ame
rican stage. Mr. Wertheim is the
son-in-law of Henry Morgenthau and
his vocation is that of a banker,
though one strongly suspects after a
conversation with him on Guild mat
ters that banking is the avocation.
It is with great satisfaction that one
considers this splendid cultural move
ment in the drama, by a co-religion
ist. Especially so since so much has
been said and written about the cor
rupting influence of the Jew in the
world of the theatre. The Theatre
Guild is today an organization that
has a supporting membership of some
score of thousands which makes it
independent of the syndicate produc
er and offers it the fullest opportuni
ty to present only worth-while drama
I entertain a high regard for ^
E. Burghardt Du Bois, the well-
known Negro leader and writer. He
is the editor of a national magazine
published in the interest of the Ne
gro called the “Crisis.” In the «J un<
issue I find on the cover a prize-win
ning cartoon captioned “The Financi
al Stage of America,” which shows
the Jew as dominating the center u
the stage. The Jew is very offensi'^
ly drawn and it is obvious tha '
is the purpose of the cartoonist^
make the Jew’s position an °“ eDS A
one. I confess my surprise that *
Du Bois would permit such a P 3 -^
able appeal to prejudice to
a magazine of which he is e
It seems to be contrary to his c
acter. I am calling his atten 10
the fact that a very undesira e
action is likely to result * rom { .
publication of such defamatory
ter. Then, too, it seems to nie
Mr. Du Bois more than most oi |
people should appreciate the - en( j-
the Jew has been exceedingly ^
ly and sympathetic with the
ambitions of the Negro race an
to say the least it is in verJ
taste to print such cartoons.
