“The International Jew” Study Hour presents:  Hadding Scott and Carolyn Yeager  read and comment on Chapter 29:  “The Rise of the First Jewish Theatrical Trust.”

Jewish immigration to the United States between 1880 -1900, particularly heavy from Russia, coincided with the Jewish intent to monopolize the communication and education industries, including the Theater.  As early as 1896, certain New York Jews had combined forces to create a  “Theatrical Trust” that controlled 37 theaters in strategic cities. At the time of a lawsuit against the Trust in 1907, it was said they controlled 500 of the 600 most prominent theaters! Outside the Trust, the managers and companies were left to make arrangements between each other, which had a disastrous effect on the artistic quality of theater.

The Trust boosted royalties on plays from $50 to $450 and eventually to $1,000 a week. This of itself cut off the material of the stock companies with which the independent managers endeavored to keep open their houses. The artists organized serious opposition to the Trust, but the Trust lawyers sought out their weaknesses, and one by one, they deserted. Finally, only Mrs. Fiske (shown right in 1896) was left to carry on the fight with her husband, Harrison Grey Fiske, editor of the New York  Dramatic Mirror. Mrs. Fiske said of the Jews of the Trust, “The incompetent men who have seized upon the affairs of the stage in this country have all but killed art, ambition and decency.”

“The International Jew” Study Hour presents:  Carolyn Yeager and Hadding Scott  read and comment on Chapter 24, “The High and Low of Jewish Money Power.”

Jewish high finance began in America with the Rothschilds and their agent August Belmont, who professed Christianity. Much of the veil of secrecy that held sway at that time, the mysterious magic surrounding large transactions between governments and individuals, has been stripped away. The Rothschild strategy has always been to bet on both sides so you never lose.

The large Jewish banking houses such as Kuhn, Loeb and Co. met resistance from the Gentile establishment of that day in their  effort to gain the upper hand in U.S. finance. This chapter also describes the lower and darker side of financial activity in this country, and relates the story of the shocking (at the time) Wall Street theft of $12,000,000 in bonds via an organized ring of mostly Russian Jews that began in 1918 and flourished until 1920. To things like this, there is complete silence from the upper level of Jewry. TIJ attributes the silence to the “racial instinct.”
