This article presents information on the contribution made by Jews in American Theater. It is informed that during the season, which is now drawing to a close, around 2,000 actors have been engaged in various legitimate productions in the New York theater. Of these about 10 per cent have been Jews. The task of artistic direction has been in the hands of about twenty-five professional stage directors, of whom less than one-third are Jews. The original American plays produced would run to something more than sixty, of which about 40 per cent were written by Jews. The plays eventually produced were brought onto the stages of theaters considerably more than half of which are either owned or controlled by Jews. |
