What you’re looking at

This page contains primarily **advertisements and articles**, not political cartoons. The main content is an article titled "The Power of American Jewry" from *The Jewish Tribune*, praising the Anti-Defamation League's one-year campaign against antisemitic stereotypes in motion pictures and literature. The article celebrates efforts to remove *The Merchant of Venice* from school curricula and to prevent Jewish characters from being depicted as criminals or usurers in films. The small cartoon at bottom-left shows two monkeys conversing, captioned "What's the matter? Tail hurt? Somebody step on it?" The Christian Science Monitor response joke is unclear without full context. The remaining content comprises product advertisements for blackhead treatments, silk hose, deodorant, and cigarettes—typical of 1920s magazine pages. These ads contain period-specific imagery and marketing language but carry no apparent political significance.

Christian Science Monkey: om, bear, NO! JUST AN ERROR IN THE CONCLUSION. “The Power of American Jewry” (From The Jewish Tribune.) The power of American Jewry, when utilized in a righteous cause, is as- tounding. * * This immense force is usually dissipated. Like all other cnergy, it may be wasted. It should be jealously conserved. At no time has this latent power been so effec- tively used as by the Anti-Defamation League. This organization, although only year old, has accomplished so much, its efforts have been so successful, and its work has been so thorough, that the most sanguine hopes of its found- ers have not been disappointed. * * The active organization was composed of the leading Jews of every commu- y. It marshalled the power of the Jews of this land to its cause. * * In one year this is what it has done for Jewry, and this country, It has so energetically and successfully com- Latted Jewish caricatures and misrep- resentations in motion picture films that practically none are now pro- duced. * * The struggle against this evil was great. It was like a long battle. * * The financial loss to the producers was large, and the strain too great. © © Films which depict Jewish char- acters as the criminal, the fire-bug, the usurer, the white slaver, can in one day poison the minds of more people than could Shakespeare’s “ Shylock” ina century. * * The first and most important. step has been taken in excluding “ The Merchant of Venice” from the cur- riculum of the grammar and high schools of this country, by having the play removed from the list of require- ments laid down by the Collegiate En- trance Requirement Board. * * We have constantly worked with newspapers and the Associated Press, so that the word “Jew”, “ Hebrew.” ete. should not be misused, and that the religious denomination of male- factors should not be referred to. It is now generally understood by news- papers that it is just as improper to describe a malefactor by stating that he is a Jew as it would be to describe such a person as a Catholic or a Meth- odist. We checked in its infaney an attack upon the Jews by the Catholic Press, caused hy the appointment hy the Italian Government of Ernesto Nathan the ex-Mayor of Rome, as Commis- sioner to the World’s Fair.
