and always enjoyable.
Frank Wittow, Academy The
atre’s founder and director, was
quite modest in his acceptance
recently of a special award at the
First Annual Atlanta Critics
Awards Banquet. The Steuben
bowl, presented by Atlanta Mag
azine “in recognition of out
standing and consistent contri
bution to the professional excel
lence of theater in Atlanta, seem
ed a well-deserved tribute ac
cording to the cheering and ap
plause which greeted.

of its annual season subscription
drive for a seven play offering
ranging from Eugene O’Neill to

Mrs. Harry Robkin of Atlanta,
returned from a 33-day visit to
Israel, found her visit to the Jew
ish State enhanced in many ways
over visits of others. The reason
for this is Mrs. Robkin’s fluent
command of Hebrew which en
abled her to communicate fully
with the Israeli people in her
travels.
She comes by her illumination
in the Hebrew tongue and learn
ing naturally. Her father, the late
Shabsai Teles was a “tsadik” of
the old school, much respected
and looked up to in New Orleans
for many years and later when
he made his home in Atlanta.
As president of Mizrachi Wom
en, Mrs. Robkin was particularly
interested in the opportunity her
visit to Israel afforded to see first
hand the projects supported by
her organization. A report on
these projects will be related by
Mrs. Robkin to members of Mi
zrachi Women at their November
14 luncheon at the AJCC.

Charleston Bond Event Will Honor
Communal Leader Nat Shulman
Henny Youngman, popular star
of Broadway, radio, television,
night clubs and in Hollywood,
will appear at a dinner “in honor
of the distinguished community
leader, Nat Shulman,” it was an
nounced this week by Maurice
Fox, chairman of the sponsoring
Committee for State of Israel
Bonds.
The event is set for Sunday,
Oct. 30, at 6:30 p. m., in the Co
lonial Room of the Francis Mar
ion Hotel, and will climax the
1966 Israel Bond campaign in
Charleston. It will also celebrate
the eighteenth anniversary of the
State of Israel, the so-called
“Year ot Chai” or Life.
The tribute to Mr. Shulman
will recognize his dedicated ef
forts on behalf of the Jewish
community and the people of Is
rael. It will provide the oppor
tunity for all his friends to ex
press the esteem and affection in
which he is universally held, Mr.
Fox added.
“Mr. Youngman, who was
raised in the Flatbush section of
Brooklyn, began annoying the
neighbors with jive choruses on
the fiddle from the time he was
eight years old. His parents hoped
that their son would be a violin
prodigy but his father made the
mistake of purchasing a bargain
lot of second hand records to play
on the family phonograph. Inter
mingled with Heifetz recordings
of Bach were records of Joe Ve-
Mi/mhi Women
President Back
From Israel Tour
nuti and his Blue Four. In two
minutes and forty five seconds
Youngman had switched from
Bach to Basin Street. Henny en
listed the services of five kindred
spirits in the neighborhood and
the Swanee Syncopaters were
formed. Brooklyn’s reception to
Henny’s swing band was very
coo] so they disbanded and Hen
ny decided to try comedy.
“For about two years Henny
knocked about in small cabarets
and speakeasies. He finally
caught on at the Yacht Club in
New York where he was brought
to the attention of Kate Smith
who took him on as a guest star,
Henny remained on the show for
a year and was hailed as a com
edy find. Since that time Hennv
Youngman has been a familiar
figure on Broadway and in Hol
lywood.
“When he comes on stage to
do his turn in night clubs or
theatres he is received with gales
of laughter by his audiences.
Youngman’s delivery defies des
cription. It has been called ‘ma
chine-gun.’ ‘breathtaking,’ and
‘uproarious’ and it is all those
things and more. When Henny
steps before an audience he sizes
them up immediately and starts
to feed them a line of patter
which he thinks they will go for.
He is seldom mistaken and he
has them eating out of the palm
of his hand from the first min
ute. It is not often that a com
edian comes along who has the
sense of timing and the split-sec
ond judgment of audience reac
tion that Henny Youngman has.
That is why Henny can afford
to give away $10,000 worth of
material while ad-libbing with
friends and not worry about any
one using it as well as he. Henny
Youngman is truly a comedian’s
comedian and unique in his
field.”
