Briggs and Gleason to incite these
two irresponsible men to gain posses

nothing, or no one, either or both of
them, from committing some serious
crime"

Hungarian's Case First Taken Up

Hungarian's Case First Taken Up
The first case of note to be taken
up by international labor defense was
not the case of an American. 1t
was the case of the notorious Matthias
Rakosi, one of the commissars in the
Red regime of the Communist Bella
Kun, for a time Red dictator in Hun
gary. When Bella Kun was over
thrown by Horthy, Rakosi fled to vi
emma and thence made his way to
Russia where be became one of the
secretaries of the communist inter
rationale. On one of his frequent
trips into Hungary as a Red ennis
sary he was captured by the Horthy
government agents. In his behalf the
international labor defense, in COM
mon with all other communist organ
iZations, at once turned loose all its
efforts.
In its literature the international
labor defense constantly refers to
'class wor prisoners" the lingo of the
communists.

The workers party is the affiliated
branch of the communist internation-

its official organ. In August, 1925
the workers party called on all mem
bers to give "full support" to the in
ternationale labor defense, by giving
moral and material support and by
joining as dues paying members
and by carrying 'its message into all
labor organizations with which they
are connected and to strive in every
way to draw them into its ranks"

Kramerov, member of the executive
committee of the international red

Universal's New Spectacle.

THE principle Of ensemble acting.
dear to the heart of every Euro
pean director, will make its appear
ance in Universal's Russian picture,
THE Midnight Sun"
Ensemble acting means that those
best fitted are used. regardless Of their
prominence, in parts large or small, as
the case may be. The ensemble pre-
sents a perfectly cast picture, insures
smooth workmanship and the ultimate
product.
Dimitri Buchowetzki, the noted
Russian director. dared to attempt this
in order to secure a noteworthy pro-
duction for Universal that is said to
exceed in magniflcence The Phantom
Of the Opera" and THE Hunchback
Of Notre Dame"
On the continent, particularly in
those countries where the government
takes an interest in the theater, the
principle of ensemble acting Is the
rule. Those in this country who
would be regarded as great stars often
play insignificant parts, and often
times an unknown. who has proved
his acting ability, occupies d part of
great responsibility in order to give
the public the very best in entertain
ment-
IL Is ulWCult task TOT prOducer
in America to develop this idea.
Buchowetzki was given his own pro-
ducing unit in casting THE Midnight
Sun" and he selected his players with
a free hand and applied the CONT
mental rule. The result Is an array
of celebrated players in unusual parts
and a newcomer in one of the prin-
cipal roles.
