That method is no longer possible. The basic con¬ science is no longer present to touch. The men now mostly concerned with the production of scenic and dramatic filth are not to be reached that way. They do not believe, in the first place, that it is filth. They cannot understand, in the second place, that they are really pandering to and increasing human depravity. When there does reach their mentalities the force of protest, it strikes them as being very funny; they cannot understand it; they explain it as due to morbidity, jealousy or—as we hear now—antiSemitism.
Reader, beware! if you so much a^ resent the filth of the mass of the movies, you will fall under the judgment of anti-Semitism. The movies are of Jewish production. If you fight filth, the fight carries you straight into the Jewish camp because the majority of the producers are there. And then you are “attacking the Jews.”
If the Jews would throw out of their camp the men and methods that so continuously bring shame upon the Jewish name, this fight for decency could be conducted without so much racial reference.
An analysis of the motion picture industry in the United States will show:
That 90 per cent of the production of pictures is in the hands of 10 large concerns located in New York City and Los Angeles.
That each of these has under it a number of complete units, making up the large aggregate of companies seen in photoplays all over the world.
That these parent concerns control the market. That 85 per cent of these parent concerns are in the hands of Jews.
That they constitute an invincible centralized organization which distributes its products to tens of thousands of exhibitors, the majority of whom are Jews of an inferior type.
