“Loxfinger’s”
Creator To Visit AJCC
“Six in the Center” opens Sunday, October 23, with a most un
usual evening, occasioned by the exclusive appearance of Mr. Sol
Weinstein of Levitown, Pa. His fascinating talk will be on The Ameri
can Absorption Today in our Language of Yiddish words and ex
pressions. Sol Weinstein, known in theatrical circles as a top comedy
writer, is a former newspaper man who has produced comedy ma
terial for first rate comedians including Joe E. Lewis, Smothers
Brothers, Dick Gregory and Bobby Darin. Mr. Weinstein, who is
married and has two children, is the author of the books “Loxfinger”
and “Matzoh Ball,” which are satires of lan Fleming’s literary cre
ation, the British secret agent—James Bond. Mr. Weinstein’s creation
is an Israeli secret agent whose name is Israel Bond and his
antagonist in one of these books is the fabled multi-millionaire,
Lazarus Loxfinger, which gives a clue to the type of punning and
parodying which characterizes Weinstein’s books.
His latest work just released is “On the Secret Service of his
Majesty the Queen.” Despite the popular reception of these works,
by the buying public, there are those who question this approach to
humor. On the other hand, many find well-meaning warmth and
amusement in this combination of both self appraisal and ridicule.
The pros and cons of this subject can only prove provocative. Mr.
Norman Shavin, popular Constitution columnist, who is directing
the “Six in the Center”, and is a close, personal friend of Mr. Wein
stein’s, will act as moderator. Mr. Shavin states “In the long con
versations I’ve had with Sol Weinstein, I’ve been impressed with the
deeply Jewish nature of the man. His quick wit is a fine medium to
provide some unique insights into the exciting world in which he
works.
Both fans and critics of Mr. Weinstein’s brand of “Jewish” humor
are welcomed to participate at this event at the Center on Oct. 23 at
8:30 p.m. Admission is $1.00.
