“Always the Best" \\i/ ' V! if .... ■■■: Signs II when they are DRUG STORES * SIGNS We Accept Our Obligations Pure Drugs-Right Prices v STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL + + , Jid-Hits from Everywhere + + + by phineas j. biron Yes, we’re bursting with news and gos sip, and not a stale one in a carload. . . . There is for instance the inside story of how Charlie Chaplin is going to get rid of his world-famous moustachios. . . . Iii his next picture, the whimsical co median, who denies being a Jew, will look at a portrait of Adolf Hitler and then look at his own upperlip ornamentation. . . . A most terrific expression of dis gust will distort the features of Charlie and with a bold stroke of the razor he will eliminate for all time the mustache which give him fame and fortune. . . . “No Hitler mustache for me" will be the first words he ever spoke in a movie. The Wise delegation returns from the world Zionist Congress beaten—but vic torious. ... It lost Emanuel Neumann as a member of the Executive, but Weiz- mann is not President. . . . That makes Stephen S. happy even if Untermyer is getting a lot of German Jewish publicity these days. . . . Which reminds us that Vladimir Jabotinsky, the Fascist Zionist stormy petrel, has offered his services to Untermyer in the boycott movement. . . . A great betrayal, because Stephen S. Wise defended the Revisionist leader at the risk of his own reputation. ... Ju lius Haber has returned from Palestine with the film Yosscle Rosenblatt made in Eretz Israel just before he died. . . . Haber says that the film is a corker and that it will be doctored in a first-class New York laboratory to make it tech nically perfect. . . . Maurice Schwartz has acquired the right of Feuchtwanger’s “Josephus” and will produce it this winter on a specially constructed revolving stage. . . . Belle Dijah, who performed a solo dance at the New York production of the Romance of a People—and she is a sweet looking girl—is in private life the wife of Marcus Ehrenreich, the dramatic critic of the Daily Forward. . . . Our good friend (?) in his enter taining column in the Kansas City Jewish Chronicle, published a letter from Halde- mann Julius that takes us to task for calling our pal Peter Clark, the brilliant stage designer, a goy. ... If you know what “goy” really means, you will under stand that this attack is unjustified. . . . Goy in Hebrew means people and goyim means peoples or nations, and there is nothing derogatory in the word goy. . . . Don’t let us be too touchy. ... It may interest you to know that Karl Kitchen’s articles on Germany, which the New York World-Telegram announced, were never published because some one showed our item charging Kitchen with doing publicity for the Hitlerites to Lee B. Wood, the Executive Editor, and after close reading of the articles it was de cided not to print them. . . . Meyer Steinglass, who spent almost two years in exile with the Toronto Jewish Stand ard as managing editor, is back in New York doing his stint for the Seven Arts Features, which showed him into Anglo- Jewish literature. . . . He has never forgiven Joe Brainin. . . . Spent a jolly half hour with A1 Jolson the other day. . . . He is back in New York inaugurating a new radio broad cast. . . . Well, Al is so wrought up about Germany’s anti-Semitism that he is praying for a war between France and Germany just to teach the Hitlerites a lesson. . . . Jolson told us a true story. ... In the fall of 1929 he was invited as guest speaker to a Jewish consumptive home. . . . When he finished his iddrr« amid tumultuous applause, he noti< ed tha* his hosts were coughing and behaving inmates of such a home usually behave . . . So A I, w ho, by the way, is a mo»t sensitive and even sentimental fellow, got up again and said: . . . “You fellow* can’t make Shabbos with my speeches, v> I am donating . . . (and here his tongue slipped, because he wanted to say one thousand) $10,000 for your home.” . The next day—in the Wall Street crash—the Mammy songster lost ten mil lion dollars. . . . N. B.—He paid hi* pledge. . . . The reason why Jacob Ben Ami did not go to Hollywood on that big con* tract is that Ben Ami refused to pin Counsellor-at-Law as his first Hollywood production. . . . He doesn’t like to he pitted against Muni's biggest success on the stage. . . . Joseph Von Sternberg, the director who made Marlene Dietrirh. was born in Vienna as the son of a rathe- poor Jewish family, and his real moniker is supposed to be Stern. . . . And by the way, Paramount tabooed him as the di rector of Dietrich's latest picture, Song of Songs, because Sternberg is personi non grata in Naziland and Paramount thinks that Marlene Dietrich's picture* are good merchandise in Central Europe . . . Saui Rosoff, the big New York subway builder, speaks Yiddish with i heitnische accent. . . . His purchase of $100,000 worth of tickets for the Romance of a People show in New York wasnt a publicity stunt. . . . He really bought these tickets . . . bought, and then sold them to his friends. . . . And Rosotf ha* more friends than the Bank of the United States had depositors. . . . You remember that little French Jew Leon See, who managed Camera, the present heavyweight champion, during the Italian’s first American tour? . . . He is so peeved at having been left out in the cold that he is writing a book called “The True Life of Camera," and the Boxing Commission of New York State will have to take action against Camera after Leon See’s merciless revelation. •• • A scallion to that executive of the D*" circuit who refused to permit the show ing of a trailer announcing a benefit per formance for German-Jewish relief 0 the ground that this would irritate the other elements of the population. . • Yes, that gentlemen is a Jew. . . • Dark clouds are circulating over t- ; notorious romance of Jessel and 1 J ’ madge. . . . Dave Rubinoff, who is maL ing radio history with his violin, i* 1 very spiffy dresser and has his shoes made to order at the cost of $35 per p* ir . . . Helping the NRA. . . * Henri Barbusse is coming to New York the f nKj of this month and we tell you that is a Jew. . . . There are half a doi* n American journalists—residents of V" York—who are in the weekly p*y 0 Joseph Goebbels. . . . We offer a h vr dollar book to anybody who will us with authoritative information a* f0 the Jewishness of Helen Jacobs, the t fr - nis star. . . . There are conflicting >tCr ries. . . .
