Dur ing the past year nothing has been heard of Ricardo Cortez and Alma Rubens, the Jewish couple of the screen. Miss Rubens has been in a sanitarium fighting ‘a dangerous ill ness and her husband has stayed by her side. Look at the “credit” lines that pre cede the opening of any of the new sound films and you will note that most of the music is furnished by Jews, among them Lou Silvers, Hugo Riesenfeld, David Mendoza and Leo Farhstein. Among the directors the Jews have done quite well, though there are not many of them. Victor Schertzinger, Benjamin Stoloff, Mi chael Curtiz, Ernest Lubitsch, Lud wig Berger, Edward Sloman, Irving Cummings, Josef von Sternberg have turned out some of the really good films of the year. Herman J. Man- kiewicz is still one of the leading “gag” writers of the screen, to whose duties has been added that of pro viding dialogue. Benjamin Glazer was honored in the receipt of the award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for the best screen adaptation of the year. The “talkies” have dealt a tremen dous blow to the stage. Most of the stars have deserted to the sound studios. The next few years will prob ably see the rise of a set of new and younger stars. There were just a few plays that were really successful last year. Broadway turned thumbs down on them almost as soon as the scenery was set up. The good plays, or, rath er, most of them, survived. Of these the foremost is “Street Scene,” still running. This play—by Elmer Rice, the American Jewish dramatist—was awarded the Pulitzer prize. Of the other plays that had a more or less successful run comment must he made on the following: “Front Page” was written by Hecht, in collaboration with Charles Mac- Arthur, was staged by George Kaufman and produced by Jed Har ris; “Mima” was written by Ferenc Molnar. the Hungarian Jewish play wright, and produced by David Bel- asco; “Let us Be Gay” starred Francine Larrimore, the grand daughter of the late Jacob Adler, Yiddish tragedian; “Meet the Prince” had Mary Ellis, of “Rose Marie” and “Dybbuk” fame, in a stellar role; “The War Song” had George Jessel as the feature attrac tion; “Mr. Moneypenny” was Chan- ning Pollock’s annual contribution to the theatre; “The Song Writer” had Georgie Price as its star; “The Love Duel,” which starred Ethel Barrv more, was written by Lili of Hungary; “The Big p ond ,. * made interesting by the acting Kenneth McKenna, the grandson „ the late Prof. Moses Mielziner of th!

That the theatre public is not interested in a new interpretation of Judas was seen in the ill f a t e 0 f “Judas,” which had Basil Rathbone as its star. Rathbone, whose play it was, wanted to show a new Judas. The Theatre Guild is still creating the finest in the American theatre. Stage historians will wish to remem ber that three Jews are responsible for the vitality of that organization- Theresa Helburn, Philip Moeller and Maurice Wertheim. Joseph Ben Ami. from whom nothing has been heard for some time, will next year be seen in Eva Le Gallienne’s Civic Reper tory Theatre company. Jews still predominate in vaudeville, although many of the stars have been “copped” by the “talkies.” Willie and Eugene Howard, Nan Halperin. Sophie Ticker and Lester Allen, not to mention a host of others, still get the biggest share of the applause. lr. musical comedy there continue to be qJOS’ELPItL SCMrVDKTRAXrr few Jewish headliners.
