The Los Angeles Public Library Northridge Branch presents "Another David: The Story of Mickey Marcus" on Jan. 25, starting at 1 p.m., at the library.
The play is about David "Mickey" Marcus who was Israel's first modern general, portrayed by actor Arnold Weiss.
"Born in Brooklyn, New York, Marcus was a graduate of West Point and fought for both the United States and Israel, becoming a high-ranking official in both armies.

Marcus was portrayed in the 1966 Hollywood movie "Cast a Giant Shadow" by Kirk Douglas.
