Serious anti-Jewish excesses took place Friday afternoon and evening in Ordeamare, the city formerly known by the name Grosswardein.

The excesses started when a group of Roumanian students bombarded a Yiddish performance of the Vilna troup which is touring the country. Several of the actors and many in the audience were badly injured by the bombardment of stones.

The students then started a bombardment of stones on the house of the rabbi, as well as on the synagogue. The attack was made during the Friday evening services. Jewish homes on Church Street were also attacked by the students. Many windows were broken. The police intervened, ending the excesses.
