Somebody suggested to nine \ear-old violin prodigy Grisha Go- lulv)tf to appear with Paderewski in the New York recital for the benefit of the unemployed and got this retort: “As a musician 1 would be honored—as a Jew I would feel humiliated.” . . .

Jimmy Wise, editor of Opin ion, just returned to New York after a two-way flying trip to the coast. . . . Mrs. Oscar Hammerstein, widow of the late theatrical impresario, she who last winter sold apples on the street, is being featured these days as the hostess of the llammerstein’s Frivolity Cabaret at 53rd street near Broadway. Suckers pay more than apple eaters. . . . No star was ever featured bigger in electric letters than our friend Edward G. (Goldenburg) Robinson as the Hatchet Man in Warner’s Theatre on Broadway. His name takes up a whole block. . . . Trotzsky—yes, the ex Red-Commander was a movie extra while in the United States many years ago. This startling revelation is substan tiated in the vitaphone records. In one picture he played alongside the almost forgotten Clara Kimball Young, as an extra at five dollars a day. . . . This was in the days of the silent shadows. . . . Arthur Tracy, the radio favorite known Tetter as the Street Singer, is a Jew al though his press agents explain his ex otic appeal because he is "an Algerian with a dash of old Egypt, Persia, Judah and Armenia in his make-up.” Only a Jew could afford to have such an ances tral cocktail. . . .

This is A despite the current belief that Zieg- ** a # real German-American. . . . Jthoritative reports confirm our fears, essed half a dozen columns ago, that |a Sidney, our favorite screen star, is n K weight at an alarming rate. . . • ad Bercovici, the author who looks like Gorki, strokes his drooping mustache like Nietzsche but writes for Liberty Mag azine, will conduct a Gypsy orchestra for the milk business. . . . “Soviets oust Jews from public life” is the startling heading of a news item in the Seattle Jewish Transcript. The dispatch itself tells that two leaders of the Comzet (Jew ish Colonization and Industrial Commit tee) have resigned and been replaced by- two other Jews. That kind of journal ism doesn’t belong. . . . That Jewish general in the Chinese Army, Moishe Cohn, was so well public ized in the Jewish papers that the Inter national Photograph Company released his picture to their six hundred papers throughout this country. The picture, however, is that of a Cohen of V’ancouver, who looks as much like the so-called gen eral as Lindbergh resembles Fatty Ar- buckle.

Lil lian Ginsberg is considered one of the ten Ixest-looking shopgirls of New York, ergo, as the New York Evening Journal claims, of the world. Does that make you proud? . . . Irving Thalberg, the busy Metro Talkie producer—by the way, he is the youngest Hollywood executive—is a hard man to see. Lee Marcus has announced that he would give a cup to the man who manages to see Irving three times in one and the same day. So far nobody- has won the cup. . . . Eugenie Leontovich, who made Vicki Baum’s “Grand Hotel" fa mous on the American stage and who in private life is known as Mrs. Gregory Ratoff, enumerates the following as some of her greatest thrills in this country: Alexander Woolcott’s acting in "Brief Moment”; George S.

Maurice Schwartz, the Yiddish actor who just finished a dis astrous season in English on Broadway, will begin a tour in RKO V audeville. He will appear in a playlet by Anton Chekov. ... . Dorothy Thompson—or, if you prefer, Mrs. Sinclair Lewis—has just returned from a trip to Germany. She interviewed Adolf Hitler. The March issue of the Cosmopolitan Magazine will carry an ar ticle by her under the caption “I saw Hit ler.” Here are some of Dorothy s jewels. "Hitler is formless, almost faceless; a man whose countenance is a caricature. There is in his face no trace of any inner conflict or self-discipline. Here is another gem: Mr. tin ier in the next election you may get the fifteen million votes which y°“ But fifteen million Germans CAN be wrong.” . • • Apropos of this: Did you know that Hitler’s press chief and private secretary is Ernest Hanfstaengel, Har vard graduate, famous among his class mates for his piano playing and his ec centricities.
