He began speaking of the money that his contract was costing him, etc., etc. Working him self up into a state of excitement, he sort of grabbed the dramatist by the lapels as lie cried: “A fine playwright you arel You are here for two months already and you haven’t turned out a single good movie idea. Why did you ever become famous? You’re terrible!” Suddenly he stopped his harangue. His eyes opened with delight as he fingered, with the touch of a connois seur, the stitches of the playwright’s buttonhole.

Intermarriages of the right kind. Good-will movements, but not of purely religious character. The best way of destroying a legend is to ridicule it. Jews—and, for that matter, Gentiles— should not answer anti-Semitism with religious tirades, but should simply laugh it out of court.
