  7. Yetta Zwerling and Jacob Zanger provide comic relief on the set of Joseph Seiden's Der Yidisher Nign (U.S.A., 1940). brandishing a fish, Zanger is making a travesty of the ritual shlogn kapores, by which Zwerling's sins will be passed on to a 'scopegoat". (When the film was shown in Baltimore, the Maryland Board of Censors had ruled that a similar scene, involving a live fowl, be eliminated.)
