Wise, leader of reformed Judaism in America, was observed last night at Temple Isreal ' with a special lecture by Kabbi Cohn. Dr. Wise was the i father of the American movement to break away from many of the old customs brought by the European Jews to America, was the founder of the Hebrew Union college, at which the rabbis are trained, and was the editor of the "American Israelite," national Jewish weekly. ;" "Disgusted with conditions . Bohemia, Dr. Wise came to Ameri ca in 1846 after having been gradu ated from a German university," said Rabbi Cohn. "While still in Europe he studied English and the American constitution and was pleased to call himself an American "Jew. Upon coming to this country he founds a variety of conditions ''which disheartened him. After a 'few years in America he issued his .call tor union. "Dr. Wise believed in American -Judaism only. He said that no .. Jew in the United States could be a Polish Jew, a Spanish Jew, a Pales tinian Jew or anything else but an American Jew. He is looked upon as the greatest American Jew, de ! spite the fact that 188 rabbis have graduated from the college that he founded.''

A $300,000 me tmorial fund for the Hebrew Union ; college is being raised. More than half of Omaha's quota of $1,500-has been subscribed.

For ex ample "the yet'ow bedsheetS' and yellow collars and cuffs. Are they yellowed with age? or purposely colored, I asked. The collars and cuffs are colored the ihade of yellow so they will photograph well in the picture, it was exptained. So there you are; Lloyd Huges, a 21-year-old boy from Bisbee. Ariz., will support Enid Bennett in her next picture. Accord ing to the dopesters, Hughes is a coming star. Old II. C. of L. at least deserves a little credit! He has stopped cus tard pie throwing in movie comedies. Sometimes we feel sadly sure that whenever a person fails at every thing else be becomes a writer of movie plot.

He has with him several stars of vaudeville, and his very own bagpipe band. Don't make any plans for the first of the week until you go to see Pris cilla Dean in "The Wicked Darling" at the Brandeis. It's the black-ice, bitter-sweet, sugar-vinegar, white blackbird kind of a title, and Pris cilla is just that kind of a star. She is as full of contradictions as the title. Final performance's will be given today of the bill at the Orpheum, of which Stella Mayhew is the star, and the eminent 'cellist, Elsa Ruegger, is a featured act.
