Police today dispersed a crowd of several hundred National Socialists in Wurzberg who sought to prevent the showing of a performance of the Habimah, world famous Hebrew dramatic troupe. The Habimah has been touring the German provinces.
The Nazis formed a circle around the entrance to the Wurzberg municipal theatre and prevented any one from entering. Those who sought to wend their way through the Nazis were pushed around and threatened. While a part of the Nazis held the would-be patrons at bay others distributed Hitlerite leaflets. The performance finally began almost two hours late when the police chased the Nazis away from the theatre.
