Anti-Semitic National-Socialists created a great scandal here yesterday at the Bochumer Theater, at the opening performance of a play by Neuman which deals with a love affair between a German princess and a Sephardic Jew. During the performance they threw foul objects on the stage, causing a panic in the theater. Police were summoned and several arrests were made. The performance was them continued under police protection, with all lights in the house kept on.
The name of the play which aroused the wrath of the anti-Semites is “The House of Daniel.” It is based on an old historic legend that the Sephardic Jew, Daniel, was the lover of the Coburg princess and the father of her son, who was the successor to the Coburg throne.
