Bravo! Da Capo
(Hail to the Chief),
October 1943



The premier of this Revue takes place on October 16th 1943.

The program includes 19 scenes, for which Willy Rosen relies on several tried and true songs dating back to better days. But new material is included as well.

Once again, based on the Theater Group's on-going success, Max Ehrlich obtains permission to increase the number of persons involved in the production.

Jetty Cantor replaces Camilla Spira who, "Arianized," has left Westerbork to return home to Germany.

Other newcomers include Josef Baar, Michel Gobets, Alexander Lothar Ringer and the well-known screen actor, Kurt Geron. Sadly, of all these, only Jetty Cantor still will be around for the next production.

A major new attraction in this
revue are the Westerbork Girls, a chorus line of attractive young women.

For rehearsals, all the participants are excused from their daily work in the camp; but, they are required to make up this lost time each day as soon as the rehearsals are over. After all, contributing to the cabaret productions isn't considered to be work!
