and, on the whole, rather absurd. Yet
the authors honesty and serious pur-
pose cannot, feel, be doubted. "The
God of Vengeance" was intended as
an indictment of the SNUG Jewish
bourgeoisie, the economic and religi-

Is prosy and pedantic, without elo-
quence or real perception. And Ash
fails to make full use of the possibil-

" DRAMA IN
Moral Bankruptcy
Gods of Vengeance" Is Slap at Jewish Religious
BOurgeoisie
Reviewed by A. b. Masil.

1t is perhaps unfortunate that
plays, like ordinary material objects,
sometimes outlive their usefulness.
This is an ancient chapter in the his
tory of the drama, literature and, in
fact, of many of the agitations of
the human mind. Present-day. drama
tic critics like to refer to Sir Arthur
Wing Pinero as a case in point. ct
still is fashionable to consider the
moth-eaten liberal, Galsworthy, revo-

queray," which the respectable Eng
lish bourgeoisie of the nineties found
so shocking, now seems stale and hy-
sterical, pretty bad imitation of

Several years ago ""The God of
Vengeance" play by Sholom Ash,
distinguished Yiddish writer, was
given in English translation on
Broadway. But the smuthounds of
the law, pulpit and press raised such
howl that the play was dragged
off the boards after one of those epic
struggles in the courts which causes
the sensitive conscience of the New
Yorw World to burst with righteous
front-page Indignation.
Epitaph to the Dead.
Now "The God of Vengeance" has
been revived in the original Yiddish
at the Yiddishs Art Theatre, under the
direction of Ossip Dymow, and it has
fallen to my lot to write sort of
epitaph or prayer for the dead for
this terribly immoral work.
"The God of Vengeance" still has
some fire smouldering in its lines,
but it is a wizened, gasping fire.
The story is of a tawdry simplicity
and is in the best traditions of the
Jewish Daily Forward, to which Ash
has been an honored contributor for
many years.

community happens 70 make his liv-

Ruthenberg Film in
Chicago May First;
Also OIgiR Speaks

CHICAGO, April 25.-The film
taken at the Chicago Ruthenberg
Memorial meeting showing the huge
hall filled with workers to the last
inch, portraying the various speakers
and citing certain parts of their mes
sages is now ready and will be pre-
scented for the first time at the Chi
cage May Day meeting, which will be
held at the Ashland Auditorium, on
Sunday evening May First.
To those who participated in the
Ruthenberg Memorial meeting, the
presentation of this film should be an
added attraction on, and valuable
addition to the celebration of the In
ternational Labor holiday.
Anti-Imperialist.
The most important feature of this
meeting, however, will become it's de-
finite character of an anti-imperialist
demonstration. With the powers pre-
pairing for war in China, the workers
will gather to voice their protest
against war and their solidarity with
the Chinese revolution.
A message from the Chinese work.
ers will be presented by C. T. Chi, a
member of the Kuomintang Party,
who has just returned from Europe,
where he participated in the Brussels
congress of Expresses people against
world imperialism.
Started In America.
Although a symbol of international
working class solidarity and deter
mination to struggle, May Day has
particular significance in America,
as it grew out of the great strikes
for the eight hour day in 1886.
The militancy of the workers of
that period will never be forgotten,
and while the official trade union
leadership today is endeavoring to
turn the attention Of the workers in
the opposite direction, there are
nevertheless from time to time, signs
of revival of the militancy of the
great strikes of the eight hour day.
This will naturally form one i'm
portant part of the May Day demon
stration, and become a subject to be
dealt with by such nationally known
speakers as VIM. z. Foster, NJ. j.
Olgin, Max Shachtman, and others.
0lgin To Speak.
Nj. J. Olgin, has become a recent
addition to the program for the Chi
cago May Day meeting and will pay
particular attention to the despicable
role played by the Jewish Daily For
ward as leader of the united at
tacks upon trade union workers by
the combined manufacturers and
trade union bureaucrats. The jew
ish Daily Forward is celebrating its
both anniversary of treason to the
workers.
There are many additional valuable
features of the program, which will
make it very much worth while to
workers to attend this years Chi
cage May Day demonstration, on
Sunday evening May First at the
Ashland Auditorium. Admission will
be so cents.
