              THE SENTINEL
CHICAGO JEWISH COMMITTEE
FOR PALESTINE
WELFARE
The Chicago Jewish Committee for
Palestinian Welfare held a luncheon
at the Standard Club Monday, No-vember
'6. A very attractive program
was presented, as follows: Song re-cital,
Eva Gordon, soprano; violin
selections, Master David Shapiro;
Recent Events in Palestine," Nathan
D. Kaplan.
The officers of the committee are:
Mrs. Albert H. Loeb, honorary chair-man;
Mrs. Julius Stone, chairman;
Mrs. Albert Hoefeld, Mrs. Jesse Low-enhaupt,
Mrs. Joseph Fish, vice-chair-men;
Mrs. Lee J. Lesser, recording
secretary; Mrs. Jacob M. Loeb, fin-ancial
secretary; and Mrs. Julius
Rosenwald, treasurer.
This organization has a membership
of more than five hundred, and is
unique in that it calls only three meet-ings
during the year. The treasurer's
report for the past year shows the fol-lowing
sums sent to Palestine: $1,200
for a maternity nurse, $1,000 for the
Nurse's Training school, $1,000 for
Bezalel Arts and Crafts school, and
$200 for the adoption of two orphans
in Palestine.
It is the desire of the officers to con-tinue
and increase this laudable work,
which is now more necessary than
ever. New members are therefore
solicited.
"DIVORCEMENT" GOING STRONG
"Divorcement" with Allen Pollock
and his company entered on its second
week at the Central theatre under
happy auspices for a long stay.
Judging from the enquiries made,
it would seem that some confusion
exists in the minds of many playgoers
as to the exact location of the Central
theatre. This little playhouse is
ideally situated on Van Buren street,
just off Michigan boulevard. Probably
the confusion has arisen from the fact
that the house has changed its name
so often under its varying viscis-situdes.
First known as Steinway hall,
it was called later the Whitney Opera
house, and now the Central theatre.
Matinees will be given each week
on Thursday and Saturday afternoons.
FEDERATED ORTHODOX JEWISH
CHARITIES
At the request of many of the cam-paign
workers, the Federated Orthodox
Jewish Charities postponed its final
drive dinner from last Tuesday to this
coming Tuesday evening. S. J. Rosen-blatt,
chairman of the campaign for
$65,000, stated that this was done be-cause
many workers desired more time
to qualify for the Honor Roll page
offered by the Jewish Historical So-ciety
in its forthcoming "History of
the Jews of Chicago."
The program scheduled for last
Tuesday will be held next Tuesday
evening, beginning with a dinner at
half-past six in the Cameo room of
the Morrison hotel. Mr. Julius Rosen-wald
will be the speaker of the eve-ning
and it is confidently expected that
the report presented to him as Hon-orary
President of the Federated Char-ities
will announce that the goal of
$65,000 has been reached.
Mr. Mark I. Oster, renowned barry-tone
of the Berlin Opera house and
the Vienna Burg theater, will enter-tain
with vocal selections. As this
will probably be the last meeting of
the federated workers as a unit, since
the amalgamation with the Associated
Charities will undoubtedly be approved
in the referendum November 28, a
souvenir photo will be taken of the
gathering, copies of which will be pre-sented
as a memento to the cam-paigners.
Out of Date
Aunt Lucy-If you keep such late
hours you'll ruin your pretty, natural
complexion.
Philippa-They're not wearing na-tural
complexions now; they're all cov-ered
up.
THE YOUNG OLD-TIMER
Young in years but old in experi-ence
is the novel reputation that
Henry N. Weiss can boast of. In 1889
his father, Julius Weiss established a
body building plant. When automo-biles
passed the experimental stage,
Mr. Weiss transformed his wagon and
carriage shop into one for motor cars
and trucks. Henry Weiss grew up in
the atmosphere and took to the build-ing
of bodies and painting of auto-mobiles
like a "duck to water."
Henry Weiss.
In recent years the business was in-corporated
under the name of J. Weiss
and Son, Inc., and though Mr. Weiss,
Sr. has passed on to the great beyond,
his son Henry Weiss, who so long was
associated with his father, is now
actively carrying on the work which
his father so ambitiously started at
9-11 East 25th street.
Because of his large personal friend-ship
and acquaintanceship among
automobile men and owners, Henry
Weiss is known as the "young old
timer."
Recently plans have been made to
increase the production of the already
large plant, and besides bodies, cur-tains,
seat covers, tops, trimmings and
winter enclosures are manufactured.
A finely and adequately equipped paint
shop is also conducted in conjunction
with the factory, and Mr. Weiss sug-gests
that all proud and careful auto-mobile
owners should give some at-tention
to the paint condition of their
motor cars at this time, before the
really severe, and damaging weather
sets in.
CHALIAPIN TO SING TWICE IN
DECEMBER IN CHICAGO
CIVIC OPERA
The first two dates for appearances
of Feodor Chaliapin, the famous
Russian basso, in the Chicago Civic
Opera Company were arranged recent-ly.
He is to sing on Tuesday night,
December 19, and Thursday night,
December 28. The dates for his other
appearances will be arranged later for
other subscription performances, and
the operas in which he will sing will
then be decided. S. Hurok, the New
York concert manager, who is direct-ing
Chaliapin's American engagements
as well as those of Isadora Duncan,
Ina Bourskaya and other stars, ar-rived
in Chicago to complete arrange-ments
for appearances of these artists
here. Miss Duncan is to dance here
for the first time in years at the
Auditorium shortly with a symphony
orchestra conducted by Modest Alt-schuler,
who has been the conductor
of the New York Russian Symphony
orchestra for many years. Miss Bours-kaya
is to divide the coming season
between the Chicago Civic Opera and
the Metropolitan in New York.
Soviet officials have renewed their
repression of Zionist activities in Rus-sia,
according to advices from Minsk,
Moscow and other centers.
