It Was a Wilde Evening
"The Happy Prince" Set to Music Pleases Audi
ence at 38th Street Playhouse

The charming fairy tale by Oscar
Wilde, has been adapted to music and
is now playing to appreciative audi
enceS at the cozy little nest known as
the 38th Street Playhouse.
A nice prince who likes nothing
better than to make love and be left
alone is constantly pestered by his
flunkies who insist that he prepare
for his bath, be measured for a suit
Of clothes or take a physic. The
prince dies Tin a dreamy and finds
himself in the public square in the
form Of bronze statue. Here he
has an opportunity to learn of the
suffering that exists among the
masses while he and his court live in
luxury.
When the prince awakes from his
dream he is changed man and de-
cides to devote the rest of his life to
making people happy. The theme is
in harmony with Wilde's utopianism
"a good prince playing the role of
savior. Prince and pauper wind up
by singing of the brotherhood of man.
Aside from the political infantilism
Of the tale, as presented at the Play
house it is good entertainment. In
deed the fun really begins after the
final curtain comes down. Then the
impressario, Patric Farrell (the only
name l can remember) goes thru the
audience and drags the customers to
the stage where they are invited to
dance with the cast.
And such dancing! l have often
wondered why motormen spend their
offdays in the subway and why it is
so hard to keep editors away from
their desks even when they have the
privilege of taking a vacation. But
why show girls who earn living by
dancing on the stage should be so
anxious to dance as soon as their
grind is over is still more amazing.
Yet, the girls in "The Happy Prince"
did dance with a vengeance and if our
male readers entertain the ambition
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-11-09

to dance with an actress, they can kill
two birds with the price of one ticket
at the 38th Street Playhouse.
And if they don't dance it will not
be Patric FarralPs fault who, despite
times ravages on his head-foliage
dances as wildly and as untamed as
the little swallow" who was the
princes messenger of good will. He
is a jolly fellow and does everything
he can to make the audience feel at
home, including the opportunity to
contribute $500 to the theater's din
ner pail.
Sorry that l lost my program else
l would have mentioned the lady who
plays the piano and who made the
production of "The Happy Prince" pos
sible by writing the music for it, AL
so a few members of the cast who
did a business-ike job without ap-
parent strain.

2ation of unions, etc, in addition to
the recognition issue, the delegation
will not be able to make much of a
fight against the powerful machine of
the A. F. Of L. executive council.
The Coming Test.
For their own successful work-if for
nothing else-it is necessary that the
First American Trade Union Delega-
ton members take a leading part
in opposing efficiency unionism, trade
union capitalism and the general
policy of surrender that is being fol
lowed by the American labor leacers
whose enmity for the Soviet Union is
only one expression of their connec-
ton with the enemies of the working
class.
The next few months will be test
for the members of the Trade Union
Delegation. They will find that
Leary's notes in the world are no
empty speculation, but the expression
of the policy Of the A. F. of L. exec
utive council.
Maurer, Brophy, Coyle and Palmer
(whom Leary for some reason I'M
known to the writer did not mention)
can follow three courses:
What Can Be Done.
First, become active in the work
of the left wing in the United Mine
Workers and other unions, second
become isolated and lose what in
fluence they have in the labor move
ment, third, accept the dictates Of the
bufeaucrats and either keep their
mouths shut or open them only in
defense of the reactionary program OF
VOL, Green, Lewis and Co.
The first course is the correct one
and the only line of action that will
serve to make the issue of recognition
of the Soviet Union one of broad ap-
peal in the labor movement while at
the sam time broadening and
strengthening the struggle against
the reactionary leadership that has
brought the American labor move
merit, weaker than for decade, face
to face with a period of industrial de-
preston and unemployment, whose
length cannot be predicted as vet. but
which will bring new problems and
new struggles.

The Soviets stand for. Nor is his close
'ssociation with Brophy, who is fight

o help him much. :"
The above paragraph sounds very
plausible until we read miners Off

How It VIII Be Done.
Capellini, president of District 1,
Chris Golden, formerly Of District 8,
out now on the state payroll, Kennedy
formerly of District 7, and now secre-
5ary-treasurer of the United Mine
Workers, and other smaller fry, will
Try to defeat Maurer-if he runs
again-as they defeated John Brophy
by flooding the unions with paid
organizers and by the use of political
pressure and intimidation.
If left to the decision of the rank
and file, Maurer would undoubtedly be
elected. Officialdom, however, will
try to see to it that he either
repudiates the Trade Union Delega-
TONS report or is relegated to the
discard.
:. Part of War On Left Wing.
The attack on the First Trade Union
Delegation, beginning long before it
was really organized and intensified
now since its return, is part of the
general war on left wing.
1t is only by recognizing this fact
and acting in accord with it that a
real resistance to the sinister designs
OF labor officialdom can be organized.
The Problem.
Ii Coyle, Brophy and Maurer con-
tlnue to appear merely as individual
labor unionists, interested in and
sympathetic toward the progress be-
ing made by the Soviet Union with
out any connection with the strug-
giles Of the rank and file of the Amer
lcan labor movement, if they continue
to appear simply as labor men whose
interest IN recognition Of the Soviet
Union finds no real link to the strug-
gle for militant unionism. thew will
be isolated from the masses. whom
they want to reach, by the boycott
and SANDER of the bureaucrats.
What Bureaucrats Want.
1t is exactly this that Vol. Green
and Lewis are trying to accomplish.
Maurer, Brophy and Coyle will be nic-
tured as Russian fanatics" "Mos-
COW agents." Communist tools" etc.
That Brophy and Maurer are So
cialists and Coyle Jeffersonian
democrat, will not make any differ
ence to bureaucrats whose anti-Soviet
Union policy is challenged by the re-
port.
Unless they are willing and able to
take leading part in the general
struggle of the left wing against the
labor agents Of American imperialism
