The Southern Israelite SCANNING THE JEWISH HORIZON (Continued from Page 59) SECOND AV ENUE’S BRIGHT loved by her public, hut more fre- LIGHTS The Jewish stage is now faced by a dilemma which according to the opin ion of some may mean its end. This opinion is probably a hit too drastic. But there is no disguising the fact that the present situation is desperate. Tin* immediate cause of the difficul ties is an increase in the demands of the Jewish stage unions. The managers de clare that they cannot meet these de mands and exist. The managers say that the stoppage of immigration and tin* Americaniza tion of those already here has already made their problem so difficult that these new demands are the proverbial last straw which will break the camel’s back. The crowded houses often seen at the Jewish theatres are deceiving, they contend. These S. It. (). audiences arc due to benefit performances, when or ganizations buy out the seats at twen ty-five cents on the dollar. There is little velvet for the managers in these benefits, it is said. The Jewish Actors’ union’s demands, they declare, make it necessary to pay a stage hand whose sole duty it is to take care of the wardrobe of the ac tors as much as $”>.), when he could be replaced for half that amount. Meanwhile a bitter fight is on. And if a shutdown takes place some three thousand connected with the Jewish stage will he out of work.

MICH EPSON SUFFERING FROM BRONCHIAL PNEUMONIA, RALLIES FROM RELAPSE Not Yet Out of Danger Chicago (J. T. A.)—Prof. A. A. Ml- chelson, famous scientist, gave hope to attending physicians today that he was winning a fight for life against bronchial pneumonia, the high fever which caused a hurried consultation of physicians yesterday, having abat ed during the night. Attendants at the hospital early today announced Prof. Michaelson's condition greatly improv ed and that he had spent a restful night. Y'esterday a consultation was call ed by Dr. Herman L. Krestchmer, at tending physician, of Dr. James B. Herrick and Dr. Erneste Irons. Prof. Michaelson entered the hos pital four weeks ago for a minor op eration. Bronchial pneumonia develop ed after another operation had been planned. “Despite his grave condition, Prof. Michaelson is leaving it to his physi cians to do the worrying,” Dr. Krestchmer said. “His fighting spirit and will to surmount difficulties, so notably manifested in his scientific experiments, may win this critical bat tle for him.” quentlv hv her manager.” RIOTS BOOST CIRCULATION The Arab riots in Palestine proved very profitable in a circulation way to the New York daily newspapers. One of them reported a gain in sales of one day alone of approximately fifty thousand. One of the Henrst dailies went so far as to run double sto ries of the news—one in Yiddish and another in English. The Palestine troubles, followed shortly by the death of Mr. Marshall, which also was extensively featured in the papers, seems to have given the New York dailies a new insight into circulation. They are beginning to realize that there is a large portion of the public keenly interested in Jewish news and that possible gains in cir culation lie that way. Incidentally, the obituary page of the New York Times never carried as many memorial resolutions for one person as it did for Mr. Marshall. The Times must have netted a reve nue of approximately $3,000 from these Marshall resolutions. MAYOR WALKER’S MANAGER The Democratic Party of New York has every reason for confidence in its selection of Benjamin Schreib- er to direct the campaign of Mayor Walker for re-election. Sehreiber, who lias managed half a dozen political campaigns, has a reputation of hav ing led every one of them to victory. Sehreiber is a man of forty-one. He is of Hungarian-Jcwish parentage. —Copyright 1929 by Seven Arts Feature Syndicate.
