NATIONS AND COLONIES

Thalheimer, this writer was inclined
to declare that the proletariat alone
Gncluding the colonial proletariat) is
entitled to self-determination, and that
the right of the colonies to separation
can be indicated by the formation of
Socialist Soviet Republics within
them.
This group of questions includes
also the question as to whether sep.
aration" is feasible in the imperiaIist
epoch within the framework of the
bourgeois State. Comrade Lenin, in
discussing the right to separation,
with his Russian opponents, referred
to the example of Norway. Yet if
we study carefully the attitude of our
Balkan comrades, we will find they
take negative attitude to this ques-
ton.
There is no doubt whatever that the
bourgeisie cannot solve the national
question within the framework of the
capitalist State But this does not
mean that we must postpone the real
ization of the right of oppressed ma.
tions to separation until social revolu-
ton has been victorious thruout the
world. We have only to peruse the
decisions of the Balkan comrades on
the national question to come to the
conclusion that this is precisely their
view on the right to separation. They
make the right to separation depend
ent on the formation of a Balkan Fed
GRAFTON of Soviet Workers and Peas
ants Republics. But what does such
a condition mean? The Balkans are
the crux of the entire imperialist
policy Of the big Powers of Europe
The victory of the workers and peas
ants power in the Balkans, the cor
ridor of the International imperialist
cliques, means the victory Of the in
ternational proletariat. Therefore,
raising the question in that form is
tantamount to ignoring the acute
problems which confront us at pres
ent.
This fourth group of questions is
connected with the question of ir-
redentism, which has a two-fold form:
the question of irredenta between a.
Workers and Peasants State and a
bourgeois state, and the question of
irredenta between two bourgeois
states. This group of questions is all
the more important as the imperialist
redistribution of the world which fol.
lowed the European war, has dismem-
bered nations and peoples. The prob
lem of revolutionary irredentism as
sumed very concrete form in the
relations between the U. S. S. r. and
the states adjoining it. Thus, at the
Second Congress of the Polish Com
munist Party, the Polish Party de-
cided to support the movement of the
Ukrainians and White Russians
forming part of the Polish State for
their inclusion into the workers and

NEW LYRIC BILL
 FOR LAST HALF
Vaudeville Acts Changed For The Balance Of
 This Week

With melody in various forms as the main ingredient of the new bill opening at the lyric this afternoon. patrons are promised a joyful entertainment in the five sacts of bis-time Keith vaudeville, which will be the attraction through Saturday night.
 The ;headliner is an exceptional musical act, introducing Perry Corwey, the most, famous musical clown.
 There are many clowns and many musicians but there Nare very few musi- cal clowns. In fact, Perry Corwey is the only. one of distinction. Conveys buffoonery contributes materially to the worlds; stock of laughter and he is a musician. who might well bid for pub lie plaudits solely upon his ability to play: His clever combination of mirth and melody have given him little nook in the theatrical hall of fame all to himself.
 The bid added attraction is yet more music, this time put on by way of a story called Broadway Bits and Hits with Harry Kessler and some charming assistance and assistants. Various bits from musical successes are woven into an appealing little story.
 The special feature is comedy. but it is favored with music. William Newell and Elsa Most present, "The Last Dance," which is mirth-provoker with a melOdious background and svery good, too.
 Rounding out the bill are Jack Cahill and Don Romine in "A Comedy Mix Up," classed as a decided oddity, and Ralph Lhose and Nan Sterling in "Frolicsome Follies.'

The Demi Virgin Said To Be Full Of Rich
 a HumOr

Birmingham is holding it's sides this week, at least that part of Birmingham which has been fortunate enough so far to enjoy that rollicking and daring farce "The Demi-Virgin," that the AL Star Jefferson Players are delighting playgoers with at the Jefferson.
 When Avery Hopwood wrote '',The DemiVirgin" he turned out one of the greatest farce successes of his career, and no man has ever written as many humorous triumphs. as Mir. Hopwood. tis proving great vehicle for the re- turn of John Glynn McFarlane to Bir- mingham, and with Miss Kathleen Comegys le is bringing delight to thea- tre-goers. And Russell Fillmore, who has won the title of the cleverest of all juveniles, is proving riot in his com- edy role Miss Helen Ray and Miss Tamzon Manker aiid A. $. Bryson are winning new friends, as is DeForrest Dawley.
 The Demi-Virgin is story of Hollywood. which is the most fascinat- ing place in the world for the general public. because it is there the screen :, ,favorites live. and all the action of the play deals with pictures. The compli- cations come when two s1rs, married and divorced the same day, are com pelled to play a love scene together. "The Demi-yirgin is the offering all this week.
 Rehearsals are now in progress every day for next weeks bill the beautiful play Smiling Through Ranked as one of the prettiest plays that has blossomed forth in long time. "Smiling Through"s has ,een great sensation--as sweet as Blossom Time the critics have said, and will un- doubtedly prove popular in Birming- ham, because it has only been seen here for one night, coming here for one performance on it's road tour.
