at first, with managers, actors, playwrights and critics, the Trust, as soon
as it gained power, showed its claws beneath the velvet. It had millions
of dollars of the public coming its way, why should it care? Whenever a
critic ·opposed its methods or pointed out the interior, coarse and
degrading character of the Trust productions, he was barred from the
Trust's theaters, and local managers were instructed to demand his

when all the time the "tendency" and "art" is determined by men whose
antecedents would make Art scream.
The Theatrical Trust does not exist in the form it did ten years ago;
it grew arrogant and bred secret enemies among its own people. A ne w
force arose, but it was also Jewish. Instead of one. the American people
now have a dual dictatorship of the stage.
It is perfectly natural that the complete Judaization of the theater
should result in its being transformed into the "show business, " a mere
matter of trade and barter. The producers are often not equipped
culturally for anything more than the baldest business. They can hire
what they want, mechanics, costumers, painters, writers, musi~ i ans. With
It's a book called "The International Jew" By Henry Ford. If they get to have "Vatican Research" and spam 100 times a bread the same shit graphic I'll start spamming a different anti-Jew book every day.
