to my previous post addition seem to have mislaid Neil Gabler's book HOW THE JEWS INVENTED HOLLYWOOD does anyone know where Gabler resides? Also, can anyone since I am under a deadline reprise any remarks he may have made about the actual presence of Jews as labelled characters important or otherwise prior to the Forties. My sense is that Mayer and company projected a quotidian middle class image for their public which didnt contain ethnics except perhaps as stereotypes and certainly few if any Jews as main characters labelled as such of whatever professior prior to the Forties with the notable exception of THE JAZZ SINGER anybody care to agree disagree expand etc again many thanks hr greenberg md endit ---- Screen-L is sponsored by the Telecommunication & Film Dept., the University of Alabama.
