Palestine has 27 cinema houses, 20 owned and patronized exclusively by Jews. One of the Jewish ones at Tel Aviv is installing sound equipment. Jews are boycotting it for fear that film English will corrupt their children's Hebrew...
Your comment says that I was at one time a "Jewish salesman." I am not a Jew or a Hebrew and never was. I am a descendant of Sir Robert Lewis of Wales and of an old American family.

There is also on display President Dunster's Hebrew and Greek Bible, printed by Plantin in Antwerp in 1573. Dunster, who was Harvard's first president, had his bookplate in Greek pasted at the foot of the title page, and as it is dated 1638, it shows that it was printed while he was still in residence in the University of Cambridge. The Dunster family Bible is another volume...
