| Item Description: | "In the vein of his other exposés, one-time Broadway director and screenwriter turned Red Scare fanatic, Myron Fagan, uncovers the pervasive Communist influence in Broadway that developed "...in the early 1920s, [when] a sinister force began to creep its way into that harmless make-believe world to transform its pixies into evil pied pipers who were to lead the American people out of the freedoms of the American way of life into the swamp of Communism" (page. 3). Fagan focuses much of his expose, documenting and refuting the "smear campaign" orchestrated by the ADL, "Red" journalists, and other Communist sympathizers over his activities and in response to his anti-Communist play, "Red Rainbow." Myron C. Fagan wrote two controversial anti-Communist plays, "Red Rainbow" and "Thieves Paradise", before founding the Cinema Educational Guild in 1949. He spent the rest of his life as a prolific right wing propagandist railing against Communism, the Jews, and mongrelization."--Bookseller's description. |
