I also recalled (he went on) that a Jew, named Jesus of Nazareth, like wise thundered a social and moral message from a mountain top, the elevation of which was not too high for Jews.” An interesting sequel to the Confer ence was that the 460 students present adopted a resolution condemning at tacks upon Jewish students in univer sities in Posen and Vienna and pro testing against anti-Jewish feeling in American colleges a n d expressing their earnest determination to work against its expression in our under graduate life. I believe those students meant every word of those resolutions and if we had more similar groups working for a practical attitude of goodwill toward the Jew, the Goodwill Movement would get on much faster. The unfortunate thing is that the greatest obstacle toward goodwill is found in so many Christian homes where sons and daughters are fed prejudice with their food. Sometimes consciously, sometimes unconsciously. Here’s a personal word to the Jew ish magnates in the moving-picture business. Perhaps some kind friend will send it along to some of them. Instead of the “Cohens and the Kel lys” and “Abies Irish Rose” and all the rest of the insulting clap-trap and nixnox that merely parade the uncul tured side of an uncultured group in Jewry, which advertises to the nation that of such are all Jews made, I have a suggestion to make. That leaf tak en from the romance of Miss Patter son in Baltimore who fell in love and married Napoleon’s brother, made a very interesting, though a trifle dis torted movie. So I suggest that the story of Rebecca Grata, the famous "\JO ONE really questions the * ^ fact that Ice in a good re frigerator provides the best protection for all kinds of per ishable food. It is equally true that it will maintain tempera tures well below fifty degrees. And Ice has the added advan tages of being economical, convenient, dependable and absolutely safe.

But above the thought should be to show th home life of the educated and refined Jew, and thus give audiences a diff erent picture of the Jew than they get from looking at the crude subject now used. Maybe Hyam Salomon could be introduced, showing what a Jew did for the American Revolution There is plenty of material there for a fine picture, even though the pro. ducer might be obliged to take con- siderable license in arranging his his- tory.
