The theatrical weekly Variety reported from Budapest today that Hungary film and theatrical enterprises were virtually at a standstill as a result of the anti Jewish legislation.

The lull in film production, the dispatch said, was also the result of shaken confidence produced by the anti-Semitic laws.
