HOLLYWOOD—
Irving Rapper, the film director responsible for “Rhapsody in
Blue,” “The Brave One” and “Marjorie Morningstar,” is currently
guiding the cinematic version of the Max Reinhardt spectacle, “The
Miracle,” with the Locale switched from medieval Germany to the
Spain of 1812 during the war against Napoleon. Carroll Baker (Mrs.
Jack Garfein) portrays the central character of Teresa, while Katina
Paxinou and Walter Slezak are a cokiple of gypsies, and Vittorio Gass-
man (former husband of Shelly Winters), Carlos Rivas, Gustavo
Roho and Roger Moore represent the heroine’s romantic interest.
Henry BLanke is producing the lavish pageant with the manifold sete
covering every available stage at Warner Bbos. studios in Burbank.
Rapper, a Jewish boy born in London and brought to New York at
an early age by his parents, was attracted to show business while in
his teens. When still an undergraduate, he served as stage manager
for Broadway productions. After receiving his degree, he joined Gil-
bert Miller and directed Leslie Howard in the New York run of “The
Animal Kingdom” and Raymond Massey in the London production
of “Five-Star Final.” In Hollywood since 1936, he worked as a dia-
logue director with William Dieterle on “The Story of Emile Zola,”
“Juarez,” and “Dr. Ehrlich’s Magic Bullet,” also with Michael Curtiz
and Anatole Litvak on some of their top features for Warner Bros.
“Shining Victory,” in 1941, established Rapper as a full fledged
movie director. “Now Voyager,” “The Adventures of Mark Twain,”
“The Corn is Green,” “Deception,” “Voice of the Turtle” and “The
Glass Menagerie” followed. After an absence of several years, Rap-
per returned to Warners’ in January, 1957, to guide the filming of
Diana Barrymore’s highly controversial autobiography, “Too Much,
Too Soon.” After that he directed “Marjorie Morningstar,” from the
Herman Wouk bestseller.
MGM is taking no chances that “Ben Hur,” currently in production
at the Cinecitta Studios in Rome, will not be authentic in its picturiz-
ation of life in Biblical Jerusalem. Two technial advisers, each an
authority in his field, have been assigned to the production. They are:
Professor Moshe Gottstein, head of the Department of Judaic History
at the Hebrew University; and Father Francesco Vattioni, a Roman
priest.
Danny Kaye, (currently preparing “The Five Pennies”—the story
of bandleader Red Nichols—at Paramount), will be reunited with
Norman Panama and Melvin Frank, who were responsible for the
highly successful “Knock on Wiood” and “The Court Jester,” in a
deal completed over the week-end with Columbia Pictures on a com-
edy with music titled “The Bamboo Kod.” Panama and Frank will
write, direct and produce the picture, which will be shot in color
in Japan and Hong Kong some time in February. The story deals
with an American movie star making a film on location in Hong Kong
wh'o eventually finds himself involved with smugglers, thieves, couiv-
terfeiters and spies. It will include several musical numbers Being
written by Sylvia Fine (Mrs. Danny Kaye).
Tony Curtis, currently seen on a local screen in “The Defiant
Ones,” will team up with Dean Martin in the filming of Norman
Krasna/s Broadway comedy, “Who Was That Lady,” with George
Sidney directing for Columbia Pictures.
British star Herbert Lorn, wWo came to England as a young refugee
from Germany 20 years ago, and established himself on the screen
as Napoleon in “War and Peace” and other leading roles, has landed
his first Hollywood job, top character in the film version of Lloyd
C. Douglas’ “The Big Fisherman.”
Jerry Lewis will produce and star in a comedy version of “The
Pied Piper of Hamlin” for Paramount.

WHY? Because . . .
By Rabbi Samuel I. Fox
(Copyright, 1958, JTA, Inc.)
QUESTION: Who wrote the Bible? (G.H., Philadelphia, Pa.)
ANSWER: Since traditional Judaism believes that the Bible was in-
sp'red by the Almighty, the authorship of the Bible has not been
a paramount problem. The Talmud does quote a pasage, however,
which cites the following as authors of the various books of the Bible:
Moses, who wrote the Pentateluch.; Joshua, who wrote the last eight
verses in the Pentateuch and the Book of Joshua; Samuel the prb-
phet, who wrote the Books of Samuel, Judges and Ruth; King David
who wrote the Psalms with the assistance of ten elders; the prophet
Jeremiah, whb wrote the Books of Jeremiah, Kings and Lamentations;
King Hezekiah and his followers, who wrote the books of Isaiah
Proverbs, Songs and Eccliastes; The Men of the Great Assembly
(Anshei Knesset ha.-Gedolah) who wrote the books of Ezekiel, the
Twelve Prophets, Daniel and Bsther; Ezra, who wrote the Books
of Ezra and Chronicles; and Nehemiah, who finished Ezra’s bo*k.
(Talmud Babli, Baba Bathra, 14a).
QUESTION: Why is it considered wrong for a man to marry a wo-
man whose first name is the same as his mother’s? (C.P., New York,
N.Y.)
ANSWER: Several reasons are given for this prohibition, which is
mentioned in the Sefer Hasidim of Judah he-Hasid. First, since it was
a tradition to name a baby girl after the maternal grandparent if the
latter is deceased, such a marriage would mean that this would not
be possible in th's family since a mother and daughter should not have
the same name. Thus, a man who marries a woman bearing the same
name as his mother will never be able to name a baby girl after his
mother.
Secondly, it has been suggested that in families who live together,
were a man to marry a girl having the same name as his mother, he
might call his wife and his mother would answer, or his father would
call on his wife and possibly be answered by his daughter-in-law.
Whenever such a problem arises it is well to consult a qualified rabbi
who could analyze the problem and attempt some solution which is
possible under certain circumstances.
