1947-06-17—Esther Moorsteen, "For Your
Entertainment," Southwestern Jewish Press, pages 6, 8:...We have a
few young thespians within our own circle, who seem to be doing all right for
themselves. Donald Solomon, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lew Solomon, was in the cast of
"My Sister Eileen" with the Footlights Theatre, which just played for
three nights at the Roosevelt Auditorium...Herbert, the Solomon's elder son, is
the one who usually shines in these plays...Good for you, Donald....

April 1949—Lou Mogy,
"Sports Around Town," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 5: At a
luncheon held recently honoring Lou Moorsteen, before Lou and Esther left for
Israel, the following gentlemen were among those present. Leo Greenbaum, Irving
Schulman, Murray Goodrich, Julius Brown, Eddie Bland, George Neumann, Abe Sklar,
Eli Levenson, Ben Rubin, Ben Harris, Dr. Ritoff, Lew Solomon, Vic Schulman, Lou
Weiss, Al Sutherland and Tony Procopio. Try to get Lou Weiss to tell you
the joke he told at this gathering. Ask Leo Greenbaum for the one about the
"lady in the ocean." Murray Goodrich was splendid as the M.C.
September 1949 — 1) "Congress Chapter Inaugurated Here," Southwestern
Jewish Press, page 4: A new American Jewish Congress chapter is being formed
in San Diego. Members of the community interested in the work of the Congress
met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. Louis Solof Thursday, August 25. Rabbi
Leonard A. Greenberg of Los Angeles, Pacific Coast field representative of the
A.J.C. led discussion on A.J.C. claims and philosophy. Rabbi Greenberg
introduced Mel Springer, publisher of the Valley Jewish News, North Hollywood,
chairman of the Southern California administrative committee as guest speaker,
who told of the forming of Congress 33 years ago by Rabbi Stephen S. Wise and
Louis Lipsky, and of its steady progress to the present day. "For the past
eight years A.J.C. has taken a more active and militant stand on discrimination,
Springer said, leading the way for other American groups. Through its Law and
Social Order program, the Congress has attacked anti-Semitism from a
constructive angle, fighting this scourge through the courts when necessary.
Assuming that discrimination is in reality an attack on democracy, its legal
department is ready to champion minority groups of all colors and creeds,
banding together for protection against bigotry at all times." Springer
told the group of the exceptional educational program; its Office of Jewish
Information, a bi-monthly: "The Congress Weekly," outstanding Jewish
publication, edited by J.L. Teller, formerly editor of the Independent Jewish
Press Service. A.J.C. worked untiringly for the realization of the State of
Israel, and is now concentrating on the denazification program in Germany, which
is taking an alarming turn. During the past few years many chapters have been
formed throughout the nation. In California, Los Angeles leads with thirty-five
active chapters, San Francisco and San Jose have recently joined the region,
which is headed by Judge Ben Rosenthal and Rabbi Max Nussbaum of Los Angeles.
Meeting at the Solof
home were Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Solomon, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Pollack, Mr. and Mrs.
William Roberts, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Schwartz, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Wosk,
Hillel Arkin, Mrs. Eva Arkin, Raymond Bass, Oscar Dubowsky, Henry Price, Morrie
Douglas, Manny Haffner and Dr. Walter Ornstein. The group set up a steering
committee headed by Lou Pollack to plan a public meeting for the immediate
future.
