BentleyviIle, Pa.

BENTLEYVIkE, Pa, March IL
Bentleyville is going to celebrate May
Day with a working class movie show.
These militant miners have run every
film but one that has been offered by
the International Workers Aid, and
now they want that one. Bentleyville
is not a very big place and It is Just
as hard-boiled as any mining town or
manufacturing town in America. But
the workers know from exper-
fence that nothing draws as solid
working class support as a movie
show with a working class viewpoint.
Recently "The Beauty and the Bolshe-
vik" was shown to packed houses and
with many turned away. to the intense
envy of the regular showmen who
were offering the best of the movie
trust pictures, at lower prices. in com
petition.

sists of "Polikushka," Soldier Ivan's

RADIO RUINOUS ID
 GERMAN MUSICIANS
Unjust Tax System and IndiHer. ent Public Also Factors

Dresden, Jan, Q -- Another con cert season like the present and German artists will be ruined. in the opinion of Dr. Rudolf Calm Speyer chairman of the executive council of the Federation of Con- cert-Giyng Musicians of Germany. Three factors are blamed for the untavorable condition of the con- cert market. the radio, an indiffer- cnt public, and an unjust system of taxation.
 From the moment the govern ment lowered the fee for radio ser Vice 10 50 cents month, there was a sharp Increase in the number of subscribers From 7,500 the number rose to 5h0, ,oo0 within half q year. One can easily understand" Dr. Cahu-Spsyer observes, "thot with large part of the public the differ ence both in quality and rendition between concert in a hall and one ilEdiA ONE4 L4lE ldLlp lS lIOL Eul4l- cient to outweigh the comfort of hearing 8 concert within ones own home, The latter in wolves no ne cessity 10 dress up or leave the house, and enables one to smoke cigar or sip a cup Of coffee while liStanlng.'
 The indlfferenca>of the public to good concerts, in Dr. Calm Speyers opinion, Is evidenced by the fact that concerts even of big stars are seldom sold out and that compil- Jnen'ary tickets are no longer being used,
 Cahn-Speyer holds On all box office
 The state Is unduly severe on the artist i'll matters of taxation, pr. receipts he must pay both turn over and Q, IuXury tax These re- coipt5 are, as a matter Of fact, never enough 10 pay for the costs invol- we'd in giving a concert, save in the eases of stars of the first magni- lude, Most artists pay a consldera- hIn sum of money out Of their own pockets for the pleasure of giving a concert, since it is essential to their further artistic career that they have number of musical criticisms from the metropolitan press to their credit. Even on free tickets luxury tax is exacted. In any commercial business free tickets would be charged 10 advertising and would he exempt from taxation, but the poor artist is gouged for them by the tax officials.
