Plays by Jewish playwrights are still performed in Nazi occupied Paris, but the names of the authors may not be mentioned, the Free French newspaper France reports. The Paris theater Porte St. Martin has resumed performances of the play, "Two Orphans" by Dennery, whose name, however, does not appear on posters and programs because he is "non-Aryan."

Meanwhile, it was reported from Vichy that administration of several important Jewish-owned metal foundries had been turned over to the foundry trust. The Official Journal announced "Aryanization" of 304 more Jewish enterprises in Paris.
