What you’re looking at

This page is primarily text—an editorial titled "FROM UNDER THE BAN" defending *Life* magazine against accusations of antisemitism. The piece responds to the Theatrical Managers' Association of New York, which declared *Life's* theater criticism "racial and religious attacks" and accused the publication of "Jew-baiting." *Life* argues the charges are unfounded, claiming it satirizes all groups equally. The editorial defends its critic (likely the now-excluded Mr. Metcalfe) and criticizes the Theatrical Trust for attempting intimidation and a libel suit. The piece concludes by warning that such pressure tactics threaten American press freedom while insinuating the Trust's actions reveal their own "iniquities." No cartoon appears on this page.
