News in Views THE most unique and artistically developed of Yiddish Theatres, the Kamerni Jewish Theatre of Moscow, will come to America next Fall. This Theatre, founded by A. M. Granovsky and an outgrowth of the modern Russian regime, may be said to be futuristic in style but goes far beyond this school. Impressions are not created entirely by scenery. The sets are reduced to mere essentials so as not to detract from the players, to whom mostly is left the function of conveying an impression. Their make-ups are grotesque and their gestures almost acrobatic. Each gesture is calculated —nothing is left to accident—and even the minor members of the ensemble are required to do their share in creating an harmonious unit. The Kamerni now has entered a new phase—it is not only a Jewish Theatre but a Theatre in Jewish. It presents Yiddish adaptations of European plays, among them "Traudek," a scene from which is reproduced to the left above. In its repertoire are Goldfaden's "The Witch," one scene of which also is shown above, Peretz's "Uriel Acosta" and "Two-Hundred-Thousand Dollars," and Asch's "God of Vengeance." C. M. Michaels is the company's leading actor. /N THE above photo is seen the original scroll of the Pentateuch which was supposed to have been written by Abishua, the great-grandson of Aaron.
