KIRBY
The picture opening at the Kirby
Saturday, "Crime end Punishment,”
from die greet nosal by Fedor Doe-
roevsiu—which, if not the very great-
est novel ever written, is certainly one
of the two or three moat moving.
Interstate screened this picture sev-
eral peeks ago. Though no formal
announcement we* ever made, the de-
lator icemi to have been made that
the film is too serious to prove widely
popukr end that good judgment
would call for a few days’ run at the
Kirby rather than a full weak at one
of the other theatres.
The box office may beer out the
accuracy of the Interstate lurmise.
LOEW’S STATE
"Professional Soldier” comes to
Loewi State today to replace "Ah,
Wilderness." The cast is impressive
with Victor McLaglen and Freddie
Bertholemew in the i teller parts, sup-
ported by Gloria Stuart and C. Henry
Gordon.
Direction by Tay Garnett who alqp
directed "Chin* Seas”, and produc-
tion by Darryl Zennudt are good as-
surance that the film will be well
worth seeing.
The story is set in a mythical king-
dom where McLaglen end hie pel have
gone, hired to kidnap the young king.
Instead of carrying out his mission,
the professional soldier decides to pro-
tect the young monarch instead.
The scary is from the pen of Demon
Runyon who has been responsible for
tome of the screen’s best material.

"Going Highbrow,” starring Guy
Kibbee and Zaau Pitts will be shown

tion to this story of e successful farm-

while vehicle for Katherine Hepburn’s

Book Notes
By R. L K.
A CHILD’S HISTORY OF THE
HEBREW PEOPLE—Dorothy F.
Zeligs (Bloch Pub. Co., N. Y. C,
*1-25).
There are many Bible readers for
young children which tell the story of
our forefathers in charming fashion.
There are also a few books dealing,
not with the people, but with the life
of Bible times—with nomad life, with
Hebrew civilizaton and the like. There
has long been a need for a volume for
children which would combine these
two features. Miss Zeligs has met that
need ’v
-_A Child’s History of the Hebrew
People is a charming book for children
from the age of nine to twelve. Simply
written, it develops the sociological
background for Jewish history and
paints the story of early Jewish heroes
upon that background.
The book is divided into several
sections:
’ The Nomadic Life of the Early He-
brews.
How the Hebrews lived in the Land
of Canaan.
The Hebrews in the Land of Baby-
lonia.
The Hebrews Return to Judea.
In the Time of the Maccabees.
Under the Rule of the Romans.
Take an example in Part I—The
Nomadic Life of the Early Hebrews—
we find that first is developed the
nomad life of Arabia today. We are
given a picture of the homes, food,
clothing, habits and activities of pres-
ent day Bedouins. We are told then
that this was the way our earliest an-1
cestors lived and are transported to
days of Abraham. Then the story of
the Patriarchs is unfolded and we are
taken with the Jews to Egypt, through
the desert to the Promised Land,
Part II.
Aa often happens, the virtues of
die book are also its faults. In covering
all of Jewish history up to_the fall of
the Second Temple, it neceslastly is
quite sketchy and incomplete. It tells
some stories; others, perhaps better, it
leaves out. The book, too, could have
had more pictures. '
A Childs History of the Hebrew.
People is being used as a text book in
many schools. This doe* not bar it from
being a story book which the children
may read for relaxation and interest.
