A vicious attack on Jews as responsible for all the harm done by the cinema, has been made here by the Very Reverend Father O’Sullivan, the Vicar-General of the Dominican Order in Australia, at a public meeting, at which he described the cinema as the worst influence on the religious and moral life of the people.
The whole thing, he alleged, is part of a deliberate conspiracy organized for the overthrow of the Church of Christ and of Christianity.
The Jews, the haters of the name of Christ, he went on, have hold of the motion-picture industry, and have worked up a most cunning program, and the doses are being cunningly graduated for the overthrow of humanity.
