Manning, of the Protestant Episcopal Church, is one of more than fifty leading Christians of New York City, who have formed a committee of Christians to aid in the sponsoring of the Jewish pageant, “The Romance of a People,” to be given at the Polo Grounds on September 14, according to an announcement by Charles H. Tuttle, chairman of the committee. The Christian Friends Committee has joined with a similar committee headed by Governor Herbert H. Lehman and Nathan Straus, Jr., to raise funds for the settlement of German Jews in Palestine.
