Report From Hollywood GERTRUDE RERG DESERVES RATING AMONG LEADING U.S. JEWISH WOMEN

By SIMON WINCELBERG

X AST SPRING, NJ Post columnist Carl Alpert, in as pretty a JL/ burst of audacity as was displayed by a Zionist Organization of America man in all of 1950, undertook to name the 15 outstanding Jewish women in America. Heading the list, due to alphabetical considerations, was Mrs. Gertrude Berg, creator, scripter, and star of “The Goldbergs,” an extremely popular radio and television show, now being translated to the feature-length motion picture medium under the

banner of Paramount Pictures, Inc.

At the time, I had been a little puzzled by the choice. But a visit to the Paramount lot on a recent hot Friday afternoon, under the guidance and sponsorship of Adolph Zukor, II, of Paramount’s Foreign publicity department, reconciled my mother and myself to the intrinsic soundness of Mr. Alpert’s judgment. ("Foreign publicity,” because I was pinch-hitting as the Portuguese

correspondent for Yisroel Kan tor, who was spending his summer in and near Lisbon, where his father is one of the pillars of the Jewish religious and Zionist community, and from where Yisroel reported that “FLAMA interviewed me already as their Hollywood

reporter, and took a dozen pictures of me in all poses.”)

WAITING FOR ADOLPH in one of the outer purgatories of Paramount, my mother remembered that she had forgotten to turn out the fire under the roast and Kugel for Shabbat. But it was too late to do anything about it, and my mother managed to smile bravely, if wanly, throughout our subsequent visit to the Gold-

Television doesn’t really bring it out, but Mrs. Berg has a surprisingly lovely and youthful face. Though the production and direction chores of the film are in the hands of others, it seemed pretty well understood that Mrs. Berg would keep a competent and motherly eye on things.

LET IT BE KNOWN to the shame of the NJP, that Mr. Alpert’s article had never, until that Friday, come to Mrs. Berg’s attention. She seemed delighted, however, and very nicely posed for some pictures with us, once looking into the NJP, and into FLAMA—my mother, both times, forgetting to smile. And then, Hi Mintz (Uncle David), perhaps starved for reading material, made off with the Post, and the rest of us sat down for the interview—an operation I still approach with the utmost timidity, ever haunted by the spectre of Orson Welles as “Citizen Kane” admonishing the shy interviewer, “Come, come, young man. When I was a reporter, we used to ask ’em quicker than that.” Need I add that Mrs. B. bore graciously with my inadequacies. I did, anyway, manage to find out that the plot of the film is (continued on next page)
