Notes
An ad for this film called it The Period of Jew. The Boris Thomashefsky Film Co. was located in New York City and made films based on Yiddish plays. According to a news item, Thomashefsky, who was called "perhaps the best known Yiddish actor in the world," opened the first Yiddish theater in America some thirty years earlier. Although the news item stated that this film had been made, no information has been located concerning its exact release or length. Evidence indicates that the film May have been released in 1915.
