Louis Defries, famous Dutch Jewish actor, celebrated his fiftieth birthday yesterday.
Defries was formerly a diamond cutter. One of his best known Jewish creations is the role of Sender Lehmann in the play, “The Family of Lehmann.” much to the Jews in medieval and modern times. “Having trained large numbers of Jewish physicians, I can testify to this. Anglo-Jewry possesses wealth and material which can be used for the service of medicine,” he said. Sir Berkeley also declared that Jews should have their own hospitals where the religious and dietetic necessities of Jewish patients should be given consideration.
The Marquis of Reading declared that he felt the joy and the pride which Jews take in his services for the British Empire, a matter which is a source of happiness and pleasure to his community. “Let all citizens remember that whenever a charitable appeal is made, the Jew has never been known to close his purse,” he said.
