the stage in a huff. 1t was the

All forces of persuasion We're
brought into play and the star

one of the spectators, impressed
by the hufnor of the situation,
suggested Incorporating the scene

assented and last night a large
crowd at the Jewish Community
Center held. their breaths in
amazement as AIS kid brother
walked out.
The annual show was given
two performances this year.

BID FOR
CORnVIVE'S
TALENTS

Though Corinne Griffith's pres.
ent contract with E. M. Ascher,
releasing through First National,
expires In October, 1t Is said
several companies are in line for
her services.
Famous Players FL said to have
offered her bonus OF $50, 900 IL
she would permit them to buy
off the existing contract and to
sign her up.
She rejected this because every
few months brings an announce
men that Corinne is going to re.
tire from the screen and raise a
family. Therefore, she didn't
want to sign up for more than
1t is, reported that Warner
Brothers also made Miss Griffith
an offer when they signed her
husband, Walter Morosco. to
direct Irene Rich's next picture,
"Silken Shackles."
Warmers have offered Corinne,
1t is said, 10000 q week, on d
contract to start at the expira
ton of her present one.
Joseph Schenck also lis reported
to be negotiating for her services,
So It appears that Corrine has
nothing to worry about.

However, the most important and
most welcome advance was made by
science when, in the last thirty years,
the idea of evolution penetrated into
every branch of biology, and was rec
ognized as fundamental and indispen-
sable. Thousands of new discoveries
and observations in all sections of
botany, zoology, protistology, and an

YESTERDAY Comrade Dzerzhinsky
died. He was consumed by his
last flaming speech. He had poured
the fire Of his stormy soul over all of
us and he burned up in this
fame-passed away forever
How full of life he stands on the
platform! Sober, energetic, a per
fectly attuned string, His speech is
not a speech but cry of the mind
and the heart, cry of furious will
power and creative passion. Each fig
ure re-echoes this passion. Each
word, sharp arrow accurately let fly
from the bow, bores into the brains
of all the comrades All of us feel
this is man who is body and soul
devoted to the cause. He does not ex-
ist for himself. He does not look at
himself in the mirror of history, just
as he most likely never looked into an
ordinary looking-glass. He was con-
sumed by his work.
Revolutionary Spirit.
A strange ruddy hue plays over his
cheeks, suddenly appearing and soon
vanishing. The eyes glow feverishly,
shining with an inner fire and at the
same time so suffering. The austere
and energetic visage of revolution
airy fghter, true to the very end, to
the grave (the Philistine would say:
the face of a "fanatic"). A flaming
speech, flaming gestures, the power
full attack of a will. But what is the
matter with him? His hands clutch
almost crampedly at his heart, as if
they wanted to tear out a piercing
pain. And suddenly the voice, which
had sounded so passionate, almost ex-
allied, drops to a half-whisper, Small
beads of sweat stand out on his fore
head, flow in small streams over his
face.

liberation, Felix threw himself into
the stormy stream of the great year
1917, We all remember this threaten
ing revolutionary fighter of that time.
Ruthless towards the enemy, always
at his post, Dzerzhinsky achieved his
task of repelling all the attacks of
the enemy. Sleepless nights. Perpet-
ual commotion. Continually clenched
hands, dry and energetic. Eternal Wig
lance, vast responsibility. And at
the same time absolutely no pose, not
even the historical one. Never did
Dzerzhinsky play Danton or Marat.
He always did what the party ordered
him to do, the party which was dearer
to him than anything else in the world,
the party for which he lived and for
which he died. And that is why Dzerz-
hinsky was knight without fear or
reproach, a knight of Communism,
whom will never be forgotten.
Beloved by Workers.
In the Cheka as well as in transpor-
tation, in economic work as we'll as
in the central committee of the party
and amongst the Masses Dzerzhinsky
was known as ineorruptible, unbend-
ing, crystalclear. straight and frank.
He always went about with an open
yizor. He always spoke the truth and
was severe with himself as well as
with others when it was necessary to
be severe. Often he spoke the truth
as no one but he could And he had
a right to do so. He had won this
right thru his entire life, thru the life
of a true fighter for the revolution,
for whom the revolution was every
thing: air and light, warmth and love,
and life itself.
An infinite and boundless belief in
the creative power of the proletarian
masses drove Dzerzhinsky forward. 1t
filled him entirely, had taken total
possession of him. Cast in one mould,
Dzerzhinsky went his way with extra
