Zangwill’s first start in letters was given him by Philadelphia Jewish citizens, among them the late Judge Mayer Sulzberger.

Orton Tewson, Literary Editor of the New York “Evening Post” and the “Public Ledger”; Dr. Solomon Solis-Cohen, Oscar Loeb, Judge William M. Lewis, National Chairman of the United Palestine Appeal, and Rabbi Julian Feibelman of the Congregation Keneseth Israel.
