JEWISH FAMILY LIFE
Zolley Lerner, Director
And Author of Play,
Carries Lead.
One of the features of the Dra
matic club's play contest Wednes
day night will be the one act play
"Kaddish," written by W. Zolley
Lerner. "Kaddish," the author ex
plained, is a Jewish word meaning
mourning for the dead.
The play was cast and is being
directed by Lerner. Avrum, the
father, is played by W. Zolley Ler
ner; Freida, his wife, by Claire
Christensen; Ruth, the daughter,
by Dorothy Zollner; Maurice, the
son, by John Chapman, and Kath
ryn, the bride-to-be, by Dorothy
Zimmcr.
Jewish Home Scene.
The scene is in the home of an
average Jewish family in the flats
of New York City. As the play
opens the mother and daughter are
preparing their home for the cele
bration of Yontov, a Jewish feast
day. The father of the family, who
lias been detained from the eve
ning meal, is saying "Kaddish" for
the son of a close friend when he
enters. The son is going to marry
a Gentile.
The father's own son returns for
a visit and a gay celebration is
planned. But when the family
learns that the young lady who is
with him and is to be his bride the
situation changes to one of sadness
for she is also a Gentile. "Kaddish"
is once more said, this time for one
of their own family, since he has
chosen to leave them forever,
rather than give up his bride.
"Kaddish," along with two other
plays, "Wise Guys" and "The Win
ning of Harry Jones," were all
written by University of Nebraska
students and will be produced for
the first time here Wednesday
night at the Temple theater.

University Players production to
be given March 6.
PLAYERS OPEN WITH
E'
New Play Is Story of Life
And Loves of Paris
Courtesan.
With the opening night of "Ca
mille," next play of the University
Players, only a week from today,
the cast is completing the polish
ing of the production. Given March
6, "Camille will be the fifth play
of the year.
"Camille" is the story of the ule
and loves of a Paris courtesan in
the time of Dumas, whose son
wrote the play. The younger
Dumas was supposedly inspired
with grief, because of the death of
his own "Camille" and this grief
took the form of a novel, later
made into a play.
His lady, Alphonsine Pleiss.
masking under the name of Marie
Dupleiss died while he travelled in
Spain. Returning to Paris, he
found her grave in Montmartre
cemetery and covered it with ca
melias, and then mixing tears with
ink capitalized on his experience
by writing the famous play,
Alexander Woollcott, known for
his "Shouts and Murmurs" on
sundry subjects, saw Camille for
the first time at Yale last fall. "I
went to 'Camille' with an open
mind." he commented. "It is still
open."
In speaking of how "Camille"
has been played in America dur
ing the nineteenth century, wooii
cott rages. "The Marguerite Gau
tie: of Dumas' imagination was a
wasted waxen girl who died when
she was twenty. But it has been
so often depicted in America by
robust actresses in full bloom, that
I suppose most people grew to
think she had died of gluttony."
Costumes will be one of the chief
attractions of this newest play.
Settings wili be designed by
Dwight Kirsch and Dick Page, and
executed by members of the dra
matic department.
