FRANCIS LEDERER
A disciple of the late Max Rein
hardt, ihe Jewish actor Francis
Lederer is the star of Thornton
Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize Winner,
The Bridge of San Luis Rey’’
which will be shown at Loew’s
next week.
He is playing the dual role of the
sailor Manuel and his twin broth
er, the scribe Estaban. His co-
star is Lynn Bari.
Francis Lederer, for many years
the most outstanding Romeo of
the Viennese ^tage, is rapidly get
ting himself a reputation as the
walking tower of Babel. He has
in his theatrical experience toured
throughout central and southern
Europe and was equally at home
on the French and the Hungarian
stage as he was on the German
and English.
So when he was given the dual
role of a Peruvian sailor and his
brother, Lederer was not fazed in
the least. He probably has a good
knowledge of Spanish, too!

president of the Sevannah Minis
terial Union, Captain Robert J.
Sherry—in civilian life Monsignor
Sherry, of Cincinnati—and Rabbi
Harry H. Epstein of the Ahavath
Achim Congregation, respectively.
Rabbi Epstein set the keynote
for the discussion by saying: “The
American way of life has as its
touchstone brotherhood.’’ Captain
Sherry called the attention to the
post-war situation. “We are now
brothers in arms, but let us be on
guard that we won’t be divided
by intolerance and bigotry in the

that “the idea of brother

right of minorities can’t be sep

the participants, but “represent-

TURKEY COOPERATES WITH
WAR REFUGEE BOARD
JERUSALEM (JTA) —The
Turkish Government is ready to
cooperate with the War Refugee
Board and other relief and rescue
organizations of the Allied Na
tions to rescue Jews in the Bal
kan countries, it was learned here
as result of Chief Rabbi Herzog's
visit to Ankara. •
A Turkish ship may soon be
placed at the disposal of interests
ed relief agencies for the purpose
of rescuing thousands of Jewish
children from Rumania and Bul
garia. The Rumanian Govern
ment has indicated that it will per
mit the children to sail from the
port of Constanza. High Turkish
officials have told Chief Rabbi
Herzog that Turkey will be will
ing to facilitate the transportation
of Jews from the Balkans pro
vided that the countries which re
lease them and the countries which
are willing to admit them agree
to accept Turkey as intermediary.

April, 1941, in the San Antonio,
Texas, organizations. His ability
and achievements as a director
soon won him national recognition
and he was appointed associate
U. S. O. executive for Region 10.
When Uncle Sam called on him
to serve in the U. S. Army Harry
| Herbert joined with the same
spirit that won him so many
j friends in U. S. O. work. Within
three months he was sergeant in
j the cavalry. He was honorably
discharged from the Army since
he was over 38 years of age. Once
again he accepted employment
necessary to the war effort. Since
his discharge he has been employ
