Abstract:

The author describes the history leading up to the special bulletin just issued by the National Board of Censorship of Motion Pictures as a first step against the vilification of the Jewish race in the "movies," a step taken in cooperation with the Jewish Community (Kehillah) of New York City and the Committee for the Protection of the Good Name of Immigrant Peoples.
