Max Reinhardt, noted German-Jewish impresario, today revealed that he is considering the organization of a peoples’ dramatic festival in conjunction with the Levant Fair in Tel Aviv, Palestine next year.

In an interview with E.V. Zerow, one of the organizers of the fair, he declared that one of the features of this dramatic festival would be a performance by Habimah, world famous Hebrew dramatic group, of a dramatized version of Franz Werfel’s “Forty Days of Musa Dagh,” an historical novel taken by many to be a parable on present-day life of the Jews in Germany.
