In 1872 he wrote his first play, and
two years later resigned his position
as teacher to be able to devote all his
time to literary activities. In 1875 he
went abroad and discovered in Rou-
mania, a few cabaret performers who
were destined to become the nucleus
of the present day Yiddish theatre.
In the various Rathskellers so abund
ant in Roumania he met a number of
Jewish "liedersingers" who also every
now and then delighted their audi
enees with grotesque dialogues. The
just then, money was plenty among
merchants and contractors and when
Goldfaden made his stage debut with
"The Recruits" its success was imme-
diate.
| After the war, however, Goldfaden
and his company left impoverished
Roumania and came to Russia They
made tour of the cities and towns
in the Jewish Pale of Settlement, with
Goldfaden's two historical operettas-
SulaTnllT anu bar-hOcnDa -auO-
ed to the repertoire. The success of
this enterprise among the Jewish
masses to whom the theatre had here
tofore been a closed book, was tre-
mendous. Wherever Goldfaden and
his company came they played to over
crowded houses. Finally, they were
invited for guest performances in the
Russian capital, and scored the same
triumph in Petersburg as in the Pale.
Everything bade fair toward the es-
tablishment of permanent Yiddish
theatre in Russia, but in 1883 ukase
was issued prohibiting performances
in the Jewish "jargon." The Yiddish
players, together with their author
director, after few years of wander
ing from one European country to an
other set sail for the New World
In America Goldfaden found few
Yiddish theatres organized by former
members of his company, but his own
plays, those heartfelt effusions of
poets soul, were quite overshadowed
by melodramas and similar concoc-
tions. He no longer was king of the
Yiddish theatre, nor were his heirs
worthy successors to his crown.

REPUBLICANS FEAR VOTE
DROP BECAUSE OF I'M
MIGRATION BILL

Washington. - Republican political
leaders of the House of Representa-
tives have dropped the johnson I'M
migration bill, which the House 1mmi-
grafton committee has been preparing.
The bill, which aims to encourage
Nordic immigration in preference to
immigration from Southern and East
ern Europe, and contains a provision
to stop immigration from Japan, has
suddenly come to be regarded by the
Republican leaders as dangerous.
Protests from Japan are said to have
contributed to the decision of the lead
ers, but the most important reason
was the influence of Republican lead
ers of New York who unhesitatingly
voiced the opinion that if the bill were
passed the Republican party would
lose great numbers of votes in New
York City at the next presidential
election.

In 1889 Goldfaden left for London,
where he once more attempted to build
u Yiddish theatre after his own heart
but met with little success. After
sojourn in Galicia, Roumania, France
and Russia, Goldfaden returned to
America, where, lonely and almost for
gotten, he died fifteen years ago.
Goldfaden may have died half for
gotten, but great many of his play,
such as "Bar-Kochba," "Sulamith,"
"The Witch" "The Two KinuLem-
els." etc, etc, will live on. They will
tknot alone because they are the
first in the Yiddish repertoire but even
more, because they are Jewish folk
lore incarnate, because the essence of
the Jewish spirit gives soul and sub
stance to their characters who are
drawn from every walk of life, from
the wealthy merchant to the beautiful
worldly woman, from the most fanati-
cal Chassid to the greatest dissenter.
Nor is this all. Every one of Gold
faden's plays contains number OF
wondrously beautiful Jewish melodies
crystallized from folk songs in the
fertile brain of their creator who thus
was both his own librettist and com
poser.
In producing on the fifteenth ami
versary of the authors death, with the
opening performance on January %,
"The Two Kuni-Lemels"-the first of
a series of Goldfaden revivals to be
given at the Yiddish Art theatre,
Maurice Swartz, the daring innovator
of the Jewish stage lis not only pre-
senting one of the worlds greatest
comedies, full of clever satire, incom-
parable wit and truly Jewish humor,
but he is offering the public an oppor-
tunity to see how play, penned al
most half century ago, by poet
whose heart and soul throbbed with
love for his people, still has the power
to grip and hold audiences in sway
of heartfelt, joyous laughter, that
laughter, which to quote Sholom Alei-
chem, is prescribed by doctors because
it makes for health and happiness.

On the Occasion Of Maurice Swartz's
Production In COmnemOratiOn Of
The Fifteenth Anniversary Of
GOldfaden's Death.
BY Ebert AidIine-Trommer

mot merely new production, but
q new conception. Maurice Swartz.
Abraham Goldfaden, the pioneer of
the Yiddilsh theatre, was born in
Southwestern Rushia, in 1910. His
father, matchmaker by trade, and
Hebrew scholar and lover of literature
by avocation, inculcated in the boy, at
an early age, love for poetry and
things beautiful. Progressive in his
ideals, yet Jewish to the core, he sent
his son first to government school
for Jewish boys and subsequently to a
Rabbinical Seminary. 1t was there,
while participating in an amateur per-
formance, that young Abraham con-
ceived the idea of founding Yiddish
theatre for the masses.

BOGUS SCHOOL COACH
JAILED AT OUITMAN

QUITMAN, Jan. 1.-THE young
would-be athlete, going under the
name Of ]. W. knight, and posing
as basketball coach for the local
high school, is now back in Quit
nan, and will doubtless not beat
any more board bills, as he is now
esiding in the brick house with tall
windows where Sheriff Clanton pre-
sides as host.
Two weeks ago he blew into
Quitman and went to Mrs. M. F.
Underwood's home for board. This
he secured, posing as the new bas-
ketball coach for the Quitman High
school, where he was unknown. He
would have easily been mistaken for
a coach, since he wore a college
sweater with a large 'P' on the
front. He claimed he was student
at Penn State.

JACKIE COOGAN TRIUMPHS
IN LONG LIVE THE KINK"

According to the critics, Long
Live the King" playing at the Ry-
lander Theater today and Friday is
undoubtedly the greatest picture in
which Jackie has been permitted to
use his genius. Everywhere the
picture has played it has been at
tended by appreciative audiences
which give ample evidence of the
tremendous popularity which Jackie
now has at his command.
The story of Long Live the King
is familiar one to readers of
American books. 1t is a screen YER
sion of the famous novel by Mary
Roberts Rinehart which attained a
tremendous sale. 1t hinges around
the romantic adventures of the little
Crown Prince of Lavonia-a coun-
try threatened at every turn by rev.
olution and anarchy It is highly
exciting romance and the producers
have not only lost none of the fas-
cination of the novel, but have adj
ded to its delight by, giving it won
derfully beautiful presentation.
Beautiful sets abound in Long
Live thcl King -sets said have
been built at great costs. These
and Jackie and the story and the
cast roa1d out a great and thrilling
picture which none should miss.

shoe becomes better known abroad.
The company is composed of Eric
Eckmark, president and treasurer, OF
to Kullander, vice president, and Carl
Wernmark manager. The trade name
under which the shoes will be market
ed is Twentieth Century Shoes"
This company expects to need ad-
ditional space and employ more men
in the near future, the present location
being temporary. At present a force
of four men is employed. One sales
man, selling direct to the loggers in
the camps, is now at work. In addition
to work shoes the company is pre-
pared to manufacture all other classes
of outdoor shoes, but will specialize
on those for work in the woods at
present.
The company is capitalized at $1O,-

HARD TIMES THREAT
MADE BY JUDGE GARY

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-The ex-
pected has happened, and big
business has started its campaign
to intimidate voters.
In former years workers were
plainly told that 'this factory will
efose" if certain candidates are not
successful.
This year the same tactics are
reaorted to, though in a less crude
manner. Judge Gary indicated the
new system. When asked for his
views on the political situation,
he made this statement to the pub
lie press:
"If the majority of the voters
are wise, we shall see big business
coming on pretty fast after cleo
ton. If unworthy politicians have
their way, business will not be as
good and idleness will be increas-
ed"
Judge Gary's notice recalls the
days of 1896 when placards on fac
terry walls announced: "This fac
tory will close if Mckinley is not
elected"

NATIONWIDE RALLIES
TO Be HELD OCT. 70

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. IT,
Rallies and conferences in every city
and town on Monday night, October
20, is urged by the A. F. Of L. nom
partisan campaign committee in q
communication to central bodies and
local non-partisan committees.
'The organized labor movement
must furnish volunteer workers to
get out the vote and watch the count
after the polls are closed" the COM
mittee states.
1--WE have demonstrated that we
cannot be terrorized by the forces Of
reaction. We must see to it that we
get square deal at the polls.
From all over the nation come re-
ports OF an immense drift for ths two
Independent candidates, La Toilette
and Wheeler. This sentiment must
be crystallized into action at the
polls"
The COMMITTEES urges every central
body or local non-partisan commit
tee to organize and conduct the meet
ing on Monday, October 20. A sug-
gested program includes reading OF
special messages from President
Gompers and Senators La Toilette
and Wheeler.
Other suggestions include speak
ers and the appointment or selection
of ward leaders to supervise and di-
rect the work or volunteer trade
union precinct workers. These vol
unteers will be instructed how to vote
of La Toilette and Wheeler, so they
in turn can instruct voters where
necessary.
With the enthusiasm of trade
1inionists that now exists, it is ex-
pected that the committees call win
result in nationwide mass meetings
in the interest of those candidates and
their platform that approximate the
aspirations of labor.
