* Haim Topol, SZ-ryear-old Israeli actor who scored a sensational success in the English versibn of Fiddler on the Roof, is in Salzburg, Austria, malctng; a movie with David Niven. TiUe: Before Winter Comes.
Topol plays a Russian interpreter in adisplaced persons campi "He is a fellow my own age, which surprises people who tend to think I play only old men," says Topol. " In facti I have played only f6ur old characters in my entire careisr."
Topol says, "Luclc is the key to 95 percent of success. Look at 'Fiddler'," he adds. "I was in thewrong place at the wrong time, sit-thig on the beach in Tel Aviv. Suddenly I got this cable from London. Would I audi^ Uon for'Fiddler'?
"In all my wildest dreams I had never thought I would appear on the English-speaking stage. I didn't speak English, not a word.
"But some secretary in London had apparently said, 'There's an old Israeli actor around — why don't you try him?"
Topol also will play the lead in the fUm Version of 'Fiddler'. But the movie won't be made until the end of 1969 and then will be held until the stage shows have had their run.
Topol won the film role when Norman Jewlson, who is responsible for all those Oscars for In The Heat Of
The Night, saw him in the London stage version.
* Lee Marvin, who is in demand these days, Ls considering the movie version of two Arthur Miller hit plays: After- the Fall; The Price.
* Liz Taylor has lost a great deal of weight. She is stUI depressed about her recent major surgery.
* General television niay begin operating in Israel before Rosh Hashana.
* Green-eyed Gloria Stewart, who performs in perfect, fluent Arabic, is Israeli TV's most sensational discovery. Experts predict she soon wUl be charming TV viewers throughout the Middle East as the girl with the milk-and-honey looks dnd voice.
Twenty- eight - year-old Gloria lives in Jericho, half-an-hour's drive from Jerusalem. She catches the four o'clock bus home every afternoon. She loves animals. At home she has ten Persian cats, two wolf-dogs andabig garden with lots of orange trees.
She got the job on Israel's new television station just by writing in — "and in less than a week I was hired!"
Gloria, who is British, says, "My father is aScots-man from Edinburgh and my mom is Italian. They got married hi Amman and picked Jericho to live in when Daddy was working with the Arab Legion durhig the British Mandate. I went to the American Friends Girls'
by D Cohn
School hi Ramallah. Later I started a correspondence course in economics with Beirut University."
Gloria wears an outfit consisting of a flamingo-phik blouse and strawberry earr rings and a green hipster skirt "I spend most of my money on clothes," shecon-fesses.
"For two months I was English newscaster wiOi Jordanian radio in Ramallah. Then I was a civil servant for six years. After that I got a job as private secretary to the Jerusalem manager of Kuwait Airlhies.
"When the war looked like breakmg out, I went to my parents hi Jericho. There was shoothig.down there, but I didn't see any Israeli soldiers. After the fighting was over, mylx)ss took me across the River to Amman to pick up our salaries from the airline. Meanwhile the frontier was closed off and I was left stranded over there till the end of 1967.
"All this time my parents were strugglhig to get me back through the family reunion scheme* At last I became their Christmas present and everything was all right again."
Gloria is Catholic and speaks five languages: Italian; French; Turkish; Arabic; English. Of course, a littie Hebrew.
Says one TV director: "Without really trying, she is going to become a tough challenge to Cairo's TV hate propaganda."
TWO FIRSTS IN CANADA and Elizabeth.
IN COMEDY-FARCE.-Robert Cawdron (left) and Stephen Moore in. An Ideal Husband, alternating nextvwek with The Beaux's Stratagem, which the Theiatre Royal Windsor brings to Toronto's Royal Alex.
London (JCNS) - The Polish authorities have confis-
Ida Kaminska, founder of the Warsaw Yiddish Theatre, who is to settle in New York.
cated a large pr(^rtion of the files, documents and evidential material collected by the Jewish Historical Institute hi Warsaw and removed them to an unknown destination, it has tieen learned in London.
At the end of June, several lorries arrived at the Institute without warning, loaded the files and other materials, and drove off, first overcoming attempts to resist them by Professor Artur Eisen-bach, the director of the In-stihite.
"Trybuna Ludu", the mahi Communist Party newspaper, alleged that photo-copies of some of the documents and even some documents themselves, had been sent to Israel by the Institute, implying that the rest of the material had been confiscated to prevent tUs happening again.
The true e3g)lanation, however, is considered by knowledgeable Warsaw sources to be quite different.
Two "firsts" wUl be performing hi Toronto when the Theatre Royal Whidsor comes to the Royal Alexandra next week: George Far-quhar's The Beaux' Stratagem will be performed Monday, Friday and Saturday nights; Oscar Wilde's An Ideal Husband will be seen Tuesday^ Wednesday and Thursday nights.
