WHY JEWISH MOVIE FOLK ARE NOT MORE JEWISH (Continued From Page 6) varying origins, tastes, and tempera ments prevent them from forming into any cohesive group. The only truly local actress who is prominent in Hol lywood and Los Angeles Jewish social life, is Carmel Myers. Prior to his death, Carmel Myer’s father was one of Los Angeles’ outstanding Rabbis. But when one considers the balance of the more or less stable Jewish film players, it can be seen why no effort to congeal them into a group will be successful. Included in these great, near great and would-be great are Joseph Schildkraut, Vera Gordon, Maurice Black, Ann Brody, Bobby Gordon, Claudette Colbert, Lilyan Tashman, Leon Holmes, Hank Mann, Bernice Holtz, George E. Stone, Ed ward G. Robinson, William H. Strauss, Roscoe Ates, George Sidney and Tcnen Holtz. Outside of all those mentioned be fore in this article (and not forgetting the famous Talmadgc family) a fine comb would drag to light very few other film players of Jewish extrac tion. One could take up the matter of how many Jews there are amongst Holly wood’s film directors—but that is still another story. Copyright 1931 by J. T. A., Inc. SHOULD WEIZMANN RESIGN? (Continued From Page 5) powers would that enhance the value of our position ? “Can we play big politics when hacked by nothing but moral force T Even in these days of disarmament, military or economics coercion are still the most powerful factors in the diplomatic game. That persuasion and moral coercion have to be used in a large degree and in Realpolitik these come under the heading of ahtadlo- nuth this is not Weizmann’s fault. It is, perhaps, a faux pas of history against the Jewish people. “Weizmann, more than any other figure, exemplifies the spirit — the highest spirit — of Jewish diplomacy. He makes representations as a matter of right, but always remembers that there is no military force to validate aggression. ’ ’ “The present administration repre sents the antithesis of what they arc trying to prove when they attack Weizmann and score him on the ground principally that he is not sub ject to orders, that he is too indi vidualistic. These same leaders rep resent a certain hero-worship, which does not take the mass of Jews into consideration. ’ ’ “When the present administration came into office it gave some evi dence of consulting its constituency but all that has disappeared. It has not yet lived down its old biases and prejudices. I had really hoped that they would make every effort to win the masses, but so far they have failed. They spoke of bringing money to Palestine, but everything that they are now doing is calculated to make the gathering of funds impossible. I still believe in giving them a chance, however. They ought to be given every support until the next convention. Many things ought to he overlooked. We ought to he patient and tolerant. Perhaps it is due to inexperience, to the novelty of the responsibilities. “Zionists must, nevertheless, re serve for themselves the right to re act to important situations. We are now in the midst of one. If the ad ministration should frow’n, upon the Weizmann-MacDonald negotiations as they have been carried on to date they would be misrepresenting the rank and file of Zionists.” (Copyright, 1931, by S.A.F.S.)
