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
