The local Jewish press sharply criticizes the Austrian moving picture, “New Year’s Eve in Paris,” which is now being shown here.

It is asserted that the titles contain numerous anti-Semitic references. Particular objection is taken to an inscription referring to a scene in New York: “Chosen people reign in New York.”
