Before the, court was the case of Father Daniel, a Polish-born Jew who was converted to Catholicism and became a Carmelite friar (TIME, Dec. 7).

No charity ball can afford to be without a celebrity or two; the Polonaise Ball had Polish-born Pianist Artur Rubinsiein, who also serves as honorary chairman of the charity itself (for Polish World War II refugees now living in the U.S.), and other celebrators ranged from Elsa Maxwell to Douglas Fairbanks...
