The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-05-17

Editors Note. The following
greeting to the Philadelphia con-
vention Of the Amalgamated Cloth
ing Workers of America appeared
in the Freiheit, the Jewish Com
munist daily of New York city. A
great share of the attack on the
Forward-Socialist reaction in the
Jewish needle trades unions is d.
rected against the Freiheit. This is
especially true of the officials Of
the Furriers' union, which is now
holding its convention in Chicago.
The Freiheit greeting to the Anal
gamated follows:
The Amalgamated is a. child of re
volt; it was born in the struggle
against the Gompers reign in the
American labor movement. This il
what determined from the beginning
the path of its development, fixes the
character of its activity among the
American unions, and even among the
radical Jewish unions it has always
been an exception. From the begin
ming our so-calIed Socialists have
looked askance at the Amalgamated
1t was even combatted, in the first
place, because at the head of the
union there weren't any men Of the
Forward machine. Besides, the so.
called Socialists did not believe in the
staying powers of the new tailor or
ganization. They were convinced
that the union which has not Comp
ers' blessing could not survive any
length Of time, and is condemned to
go out Of existence.
The time is still fresh in our mem.
DRY when Max Pine stood with Comp
ers' adjutant, Rickert, who betrayed
the tailors for years, when the For
ward used every means to silence or
to set at naught the revolution of the
tailors. Even the broken windows
during the great tailor strike of 1913
taught the Forward very little.
But it became evident that a union
can exist without the blessing of
Gompers, without the Forward boom,
without Max Pines refined"
speeches. On the contrary, the first
years of the history of the Amalga-
mated are the best proof that only
when the workers free themselves
from Gompers, and do not allow them
selves to be victim of the Forward
terror, can a labor union develop all
its powers and serve as model of
class consciousness.
Therefore, in spite Of Gompers and

Poll s-'Pirates of Penzance

Tomorrow night the seventh week of
the special engagement of the De Wolf
Hopper Comic Opera Company at Polls
Theater will bring another of the fa-
nous Gilbert and Sullivan operas,
Pirates of Penzance." probably one
of the best comic operas Gilbert and
sullivan ever wrote. 1t is full of
sprightly satire and gives to Hopper.
as well as to his fine supporting COM
panay, excellent opportunity.
Pirates of Penzance" was, strange
to say. first produced in New York
The original production of all the other
Gilbert and Sullivan operas was made
in England. The reason for the New
had stolen the lyrics and score and
had brought them to America, think
ing that by making the first production
here, that this would give them
| rights for this country without roy
atty, because of the peculiar nature
OF the copyright laws at that time.
Sir Arthur Sullivan rushed over with
his company and made a production
hastily at the Fifth Avenue Theater De-
cember 81. 1879. Before coming he ar
ranged for a single performance in
an out-of-the place in England
on December 81, 1879. In this way he
protected himself in both countries.
Sir Arthur Sullivan met with great
| difficulties in making the Fifth Avenue
production. The theater orchestra went
| on strike claiming it had been en-
gagged to play comic opera music and
not grand opera. In pirates of Pen
Zance" the music is of a little higher
order than some OF the other operas.
The difficulty was finally Strengthened
out when Sir Arthur told the orches-
ira and management that the opera
would go on if he had TO play it
alone.
At this production "Pirates OF Pen
| zance" was acclaimed as the best Of
| the Gilbert and Sullivan operas.
Richard Mansfield sang the part OF
| the Major General in the out-of-the-
| way performance given in London. The
Major General is a character particu-
| larly adapted to Hopper.
In compliance with many requests
Mr.. Hopper has finally been prevailed
on to again recite Famous Casey at
the Bat" between the first and second
| acts of the pirates"

dialogue. astonishingly free from the
cult cynicism with which the famous
author of Iiliom' is said to flavor
most of his works"
The Swan was produced by the
Frohman Company early last season
in New York and ran for S3 weeks,
closing, when the Actors Equity
