KEEPS WORD WITH THE JEWS.
Wallace Says They May Present
Their Play Sunday Night.
The Jews of the Tefares Israel congregation who have planned to present the five-act drama, "De Boba Yochna," in the Shubert theater next Sunday night, will not be molested by deputy marshals, according to Judge W. H. Wallace.
"When I gave my consent to the Jews giving their play on Sunday I thought they were to present it in a hall somewhere and not in a theater," explained the judge yesterday. "But since I have given my word that they shall not be molested for violation of the Sunday law, they shall not. That's only for this one Sunday, however. If they want to repeat the performance they can not use a theater again on Sunday."
Admission is to be charged to the Shubert on Sunday. The proceeds will be devoted to the furnishing of a synagogue at Tracy avenue and Admiral boulevard. The play will be given in Yiddish.
