Shooting begins for ’Skokie’
by Carlene Sabath
A scene depicting the Skokie Chief of
Police stopping a group of neo-Nazis as
they drove to Skokie and issuing them with
a writ to stop their protest was among the
first footage to be shot this week as filming
of the made-for-tv movie, Skokie, got
underway.
The traffic scenes which were shot on
Sheridan and Howard streets on Friday
and Golf and Palatine roads on Monday,
will be part of a CBS-TV 2½-hour docudrama based on the Skokie’s efforts to
prevent a Nazi demonstration during 197778. Other scenes, which will be filmed
during the week, include actual shots of
the American Civil Liberties Union
building.
Sequences to be shot in Skokie during
the month-long filming of the docudrama
will be at a synagogue, two private homes,
a restaurant and a hotel. Filming of the
anti-Nazi demonstrations will take place
outside of village hall on Nov. 24 and other
scenes will be shot inside village hall, in
the council chambers and the mayor’s
office, on Nov. 25 and 26. Locations for the
homes, restaurant and hotel have not yet
been chosen.
TEMPLE JUDEA MIZPAH at 6610 Niles
Center Road will be the site for the
synagogue scenes on Dec. 1, 2, and 3.
Associate producer Tom DeWolfe
explained, “The temple was chosen
because it fulfilled certain technical and
visual features needed such as the size of
the structure and the movability of inside
furniture.”
Temple staff said that Rabbie Karl
Weiner and the board of directors of the
congregation made the final decision to
allow Titus Productions, the film-makers,
to use the synagogue. It is their hope that
the film will be done with class and
dignity, a staff member said.
Unfortunately, some of the excitement felt
by the congregation over the film was
dampened by the passing of the rabbi on
Sunday, Nov. 16 after a long illness.
The script for “Skokie” was written by
Ernest Kinoy, chief script writer for
“Roots” and the movie will be directed by
Herbert Wise. The story of how and why
the Nazis were eventually stopped from
marching in the village after a year-and-a-
WOULD-BE EXTRAS wait their turn for a chance at being in the made-for-tv movie set in Skokie.

half long legal battle will air on CBS
sometime next spring.
THE FILM WILL star Danny Kaye as
Max Feldman, a Holocaust survivor; John
Rubinstein as Herb Lewison, a pseudonym
for David Goldberger, ACLU attorney;
Carl Reiner as Abbot Rosen; and Eli
Wallach as Skokie Corporation Counsel
Harvey Schwartz. Co-starring is Ed
Landers as Mayor Albert Smith and
Charles Levin as a rabbi. Maureen
Stapleton will not appear in the film, a
CBS representative said Monday.
Casting for extras took place at
Centreast Auditorium on Monday, Nov. 10
and casting director for extras Debbie
Rosen said between 200 and 300 people
applied. “We thank the press for their help
in getting such a good turn-out,” Rosen
said. The exact number of extras used in
the film has not yet been determined since
Rosen said, extras are used as needed.
It has been estimated that the village as
a whole community can expect to receive a
cash amount ranging anywhere between
$500,000 and $1 million. Such expenses will
be incurred to pay salaries for local crews
and extras, to buy supplies and to pay hotel
and restaurant fees.
DeWolfe indicated that Titus expects to
spend approximately $65,000 in hotel fees
alone for the four-week stay. At the
village’s hotel-motel tax now, 3 percent of
the gross receipts of the hotel stay alone
would put $19,000 into the municipal
government pocket.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>During the late 1970s, a small group of neo-Nazis based in Chicago attempted to hold a rally in the Village of Skokie, Illinois, a community that was known to have a large Jewish population. Local officials resisted the group’s efforts through by passing a series of ordinances aimed at preventing demonstrations or parades by hate groups. The ordinances were ultimately overturned following a series of state and federal lawsuits because they infringed on the group’s First Amendment rights and the neo-Nazis were issued a permit to demonstrate in Skokie. However, instead of facing the growing number of organized counter-demonstrators, the group held rallies in Federal Plaza and in Marquette Park in Chicago. <br /><br />Visit <a title="Attempted Nazi March in Skokie" href="https://skokiehistory.omeka.net/exhibits/show/attempted-nazi-march/timeline">Skokie Public Library's online exhibit</a> to see the events as they unfolded. The library's digital collection, seen here, includes newspaper articles, editorials, recordings from the Skokie Village Board of Trustees meetings, a memoir written by a local clergywoman, and two documentary films.</p>
