England has absolutely refused our American actors opportunity to perform for one day. France. Germany. and all the countries of Europe have refused our American actors an opportunity to work for even one day. and we. under our immigration laws. have permitted hordes of those people to come here and displace American talent. as a result of whichlet me call attention to something very funny. On Broadway in New York today there are about 4 or 5 American actors. and there are over 250 aliens who have displaced Americans. Regarding similar action on the part of other countries in barring American actors. in reply I might submit. for the information they contain. news items which were placed in the record of the hearings on this bill showing the way our American actors are now held up in England and the attitude taken by the British Actors Equity on the subject.
