This is the time of the year when a Jewish sports writer has to call the roll of Jewish ball players in the big leagues. Not so long ago there was no roll to call, but things are different today. It wasn't so long ago that the Jew in baseball was a freak. Press and public made a great to do over every Jewishrookie, And if he had a name like Cohen or Levy he was a seven day wonder. But today Jewish boys have done so well in the big leagues that they are taken for granted. A Hank Green-herg will stir up a lot of enthusiasm for a year then he becomes just another, baseball star. That's why we want to.,call the roll for you, to remind you who's who among Jews on the big league diamonds. Greenberg, of course, is still the shining example of a crack Jewish ball player, but there are others too. So here's

the list:
Hank Greenberg, Detroit Tigers, First Base; Buddy Myers, Washington Senators, Second Base; Harry Danning, New York Giants, Catcher; Moe Berk, Boston Red Sox, Catcher; Fred Singrton, Washington Senators, Outfielder; Morris Amovich, Philadelphia Phillies, Outfielder; Phil Weintraub, Cincinnati Reds, Outfielder; Sydney Cohen, Washington Senators, Pitcher; Harry Eisen-stadt, Brooklyn Dodgers, Pitcher.
Looking over this array of baseball ivory, we find we have nine men but not a complete team. We're missing half an infield because there are no Jewish shortstops nor third basemen. But otherwise it's not a bad line-up. Missing from the 1935 line-up is Milt Galatzer, Cleveland outer gardener, who was released. Of the others all but Weintraub were drawing big league pay checks for all or part of last year, and Phil is no stranger to the big leagues either. Missing, too, is Al Schaeht, one time baseball's comedian. Al will do his tricks for minor league fans in 1937. Five of the Jewish boys who will sport big league uniforms this spring and summer spent a good part of 1936 toiling in the minors, while Greenberg was out of the lineup most of the year with a cracked wrist. All of the remaining three who answered present to the first 1937 roll call—Danning, Berg and Myers—were not first stringers in 1936, none of them having participated in more than 40 games. In short, we have the curious situation of nine first class Jewish ball players in the big leagues, not one of whom has an imposing 1936 record to look back upon.
But this is another year and big things are expected from all of them. Just to keep the record straight, however, next week we'll review what they did in 1936, either in the major or minor leagues.

sufifer cold, despite that they have been destroyed.
Our cruder hill-billies get only the r.eeting satisfaction of seeing the quick death of. a victim; though at times they know how to prolong his agony for an hour with a blow-torch. But the satisfaction of Nazis is continuous, since the pain of a victim does not end with his destruction.
I am mindful of one who was a judge in Germany and a distinguished and honored man indeed. Until 1933 his life followed the happy vista of a German who was an honorable and capable citizen. He had attained the judgeship and had no reason to believe but that his course would go to the happy end that was then for all Germans who were honest, able and faithful to their trust. At the end there would be a comfortable pension and the dignity of an ex-judge.
The mass lynching that occurred in 1933 took doctors from the hospitals and professors from the universities and lawyers from their offices and clerks from the counting houses and engineers from the factories and the Jewish judges from the courts.
This ludge looked at his fate: He was dead in most of the essentials of death. Dead of the spirit, dead in that there was no more light, dead in that he had come to the end of everything that he had called his life; dead except for the pain, except that he still desired food and except that his bones suffered in the winter's cold.
He could envy the dead who had died in the course of nature and who in their graves were guarded from all pain. If the old faith was true they might have attained heaven, but he, dead, had fallen into the Nazi hell in which Nazis kept up a torture of those they had lynched.
He sought escape and came to the United States;  but he is still the walking dead man the Nazis lynched and threw into the Nazi hell. He goes about . . . "Is there work for me, a;hy kind of work?" . . . But he is in mid die years, whichf is an age of life to wliich industry and commerce say "We're very sorry, but. .." And wha does he know to do that industry or commerce can use? Prom his youth his training had been directed toward the judiciary. Industry and commerce have no places for judges.
He may envy the victims of our hill-billy lynchers. ... A rope, a quick bullet, a corpse swinging in the wind ... A corpse without pain, without hunger. The night wind blows and the corpse feels no chill.
I yield: The Nazis do these things more thoroughly and in a way that provides more unction for their souls than the souls of hill-billies can get out of lynchlngs that are so quickly over.
I am troubled on account of the Ivnched Judge and must ask: "What are we going to do about him as wel as about many others like him who have come here to escape the doom of Nazi hell?"
When I see a man being continuously lynched I, as a somewhat civilized person, must not stand helplessly by, looking on. Nor you! In fact, were I to discover a lynched man hanging beside a Southern road I might, at least rush to the sheriff to demand that he be biu-ied. A lynched man is a hideous sight whether he was lynched by the bloody, lawless hand of hill-billy hoodliuns or by hoodlums in the robes of race scientists.
I hear it reported that many Ger-mon refugees are in a similar case with this ex-judge; many, as I am told, are congested in New York, struggling for a foothold in a community already overcrowded, and are likely to increase irritation against Jews. For as more and more of them gather in New York we are sure to hear it said resentfully that Jewish aliens are crowding Americans.
Of course, the obvious way to do is to distribute them systematically, every thriving Jewish community agreeing to take a quota of them and to find places for them in Jewish commerce and industry. Chicago might say: "Well, we can absorb 200 of them and we have jobs for them by the generosity of Jewi.sh business men."
Cincinnati might say: "We can take 50 of them and for each of them a job is guaranteed by our business men,"
Thus, it seems to me, we can deliver men from Nazi lynchers and restore life to the unburied dead. I have heard that in the eighties (when they weren't as well organized as they are now) Jewish communities made the refugees from Russian pogroms their special care. They set them on the way to livelihood, and with what fine results is evident in the glowing Jewish life in inany a midwestern community.

magic attached to it he was a star on the Yiddish stage imder the name Mimi Weisenfreud. He made his professional debut at the age of eleven in the character role of an old man. And it was in old men's parts that he achieved fame on New York's Second Avenue, the Yiddish Rialto. Similarly, it was hi the role of an old man hi "We Americans" that he first, attracted attention as an English-speaking actor on Broadway. His mastery of make-up and his abiUty to simulate age won him a Hollywood trial. It was as a second Lon Chaney that he appeared in "Seven Paces", a. specially prepared vehicle that gave him an opportimity to display his versatility.
But from that beginning there has followed a distinguished array of pictures. What moviegoer can forget "Scarface", "The Valiant", "I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang", "Black Fury", "The Story of Louis Pasteur" and "The Good Earth"? Mmii is now making a pictiu-e that has long intrigued iiim and one that is of particular interest to Jewry. He is playing the name role in "The Story of Emile Zola", a picturization of the career of that powerful French writer, celebrathig particularly the part he played in defense of Jewry in the famous Dreyfus case. -
Concurrently with his screen career Muni has managed to find time for the stage. He created the role of the Jewish attorney in "Counsellor at Law". Despite his screen success he prefers the stage to the screen. Muni's skill as a make-up artist, his genuis for behig characters other than himself, stood him in good stead in the creation of the screen characterization of Pasteur. Muni takes his work very seriously for he Is of the acthig school that believes that one must lose himself in his part to do it well.
Now a few words about the man, Paul Muni. This September he will be 40 A not unhandsome man, he is nevertheless not the popular conception of a mathiee idol. He has black hahr and eyes. He is happily married to Bella Finkel, a former stage ac-tx-ess now retired. His formal education is slight, as he became a trouper oil the Yiddish stage at the age of eleven. He is, however, well-read, and for his favorites leans toward the Russians, particularly Gorky and Tolstoy. Of the modems, he prefers James Joyce and Upton Shiclah: among the novelists and Eugene O'Neil and Elmer Rice among the playwrights. He is socially conscious, very much interested in government and politics, having a particular fondness for discussing Russia, which he has several thnes visited. His great hobby is music, and he is reputed to be a violinist of almost concert caliber. He is an avid walker and a rabid prize fight fan.
It is, indeed, signicant that the two 1936 acting awards of .:aie Motion Picture Academy went to Mr. Muni arid Miss Rainer for the portrayal of aqtual characters known to marly persons. And with Mtmi dohig Zola aiid Miss Rainer soon to do La Duse, one might almost say that these great artists have started a new trend in Hollywood.
Such are the new King and Queen of the Movies!
