Berlin Demostration Protests Against “jew Comedians” on Stage

(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)

A protest demonstration against the “Jew comedians” on the German stage took place here.

The protest was directed against Jewish artists in the German cabarets and theatres who act in caricature plays, ridiculing Jewish life. They were accused of increasing anti-Semitism in Germany through their actions.

Speakers at the meeting stated that the continuous warnings addressed to the managers and actors were disregarded. Several Jewish cabaret leaders and directors who attended the meeting faced the hostile demonstration and declared that they will, in future, avoid the so-called Jewish “jokes.”

The Catholics and Jews of New York have set a pace in the generous and intelligent support of their respective charities. Bird S. Coler, Commissioner of Public Welfare, declared Monday at the men’s club of the Fort George Presbyterian Church, 186th Street and St. Nicholas Avenue, New York.

The Catholics and Jews have a unified program and purpose with regard to charitable enterprises, Mr. Coler said. “Irrespective of differences of opinion they may have within their own ranks about other things, they are both absolutely solid units, and know exactly what they want in the matter of charitable work,” he added.

Evidence of this unity of purpose can be found in the organization and invariably successful results of almost any Catholic or Jewish drive, Mr. Coler said.

Prof. A. a. Michelson, University of Chicago physicist, whose recent experiments here substantiated certain parts of the Einstein theory, will go to Mount Wilson observatory, at Pasadena, Cal., where he will continue his measurement of the velocity of light. The scientist left Chicago Saturday for Washington, D. C., to attend a meeting of the National Academy of Sciences.

It is expected that the tests at Mount Wilson will bring the measurement of light’s speed to a higher degree of precision than has ever been reached. It was at this observatory that Dr. Michelson measured the diameter of the giant star Betelgeuse with his interferometer, one of the most accurate instruments known to science.

Prof. Michelson will return to his work at the University of Chicago in October.
