The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-11-05

WHAT was once. considered utopian
dream is now cold reality and
few radical workers now doubt the
possibility of building up socialism
IN the Soviet Union. The chief points
OF disagreement are over the methods
by which specialization can be speeded
up. The Inauguration of the seven
hour day on the Tenth Anniversary
of the establishment of the Workers
and Peasants Government is the best
answer the Soviet Union could make
to the scoffers and the lying enemy
propagandists, and constitutes chal-
Ienge to the workers in countries
whose productive machinery is more
advanced than in land long over
ridden by the most corrupt and So
clally rotten ruling class known in the
annals of human history.
VET, it must be admitted that there
are opportunities in this great
land 'of ours that do not exist in the
Soviet Union. Let US take the case
Of William D. Stewart, Jr. for ex-
ample. This young man who is only
25 years of age is negotiating to pay
! S27O,OO0 for stock exchange seat.
Young Stewart graduated from the
University of Pennsylvania three
years ago. He could never have made
that much money in Moscow in three
years.
NEVERTHELESS all is not sunshine
~ in the United States. There is
Pat Grove who worked his way I'D
from the bottom and was a big head
liner some years ago. His rise in the
financial world was almost az
meteoric as that of Mr.. Stewart.
Grove like Stewart did not believe in
putting in ten hours day for a liv-
ing. He was a go-getter, took short
cuts. A favorite method of his wes
to visit bank after the president
went home and help himself. In less
than no time he amassed 100000
but the legitimate and more clever
robbers took it away from him on
the stock exchange.
pUT Pat had his health and his wits
- and like the blind war hero in the
Seventh Heaven" he looked up and
never looked down. While looking up
one day lie had an inspiration. He
decided to l1idnap Edward A. Cudahy
Of the meat-pacling family and hold ,
aim for ransom. This net Mr.. Crowe.I
$4,000 but Cudahy was never thG
same again. And as if to give living
proof that crime does not paw. Crove
was picked up last Thursday night by
The police begging aims under an
elevated structure. The trouble with
Grove was that he reformed and de-
| cided to devote his life to urging the
young to hew to the straight line. let
the chips fall whore they may. He
| should have purchased seat on some
stock exchange with his earnings.
| TWELVE reactionary Mexican mules
are said to have saved some coun-
ter-revolutionists from disastrous
defeat at the hands of federal troops
when they--the mules-deserted to
the enemy with twelve loads of am
munition. o. Henry told of South
American revolution that got lost
when somebody kicked the mule that
carried the coffee supply in the belly
and killed the animal, destroying tho
coffee, but this other mule story Is
the most remarkable war tale we have

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-11-05

TEN years ago, the earth shook
with the impact OF the struggle
between the new social order and the
Old, waged in the streets of Lenin-
grad, Moscow, Karkov, Odessa and
Cnruout the mighty empire of the
Cars. The world looked on with in
terest. What would be the result?
Would the revolt be crushed in the
blood of the workers as was the re-
volt of 1905? Few were so sanguine
as to expect that ten years later
representatives of the revolutionary
workers from every part of the world
would be gathering in Moscow to join
in the celebration of ten years of So
Wet rule, of ten years of remarkable
progress on the road to the socializa-
ton of all industry in the former Rus
sian empire.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-11-05

NOW to our task. Here is some
~ thing you cannot afford to miss.
1t is the November number of the La
Dor Defender, official organ of Inter
national Labor Defense. It appears
on the 10th anniversary of the murder
Of the Chicago labor leaders who suf-
fered the fate melted out to Sacco and
Vanzetti because like the latter they
were leaders in the movement TO or
ganize their fellow workers into
unions and because they were bitter
foes of the capitalist system. The
current number of this bright little
magazine is in my opinion the best
yet and this is saying a good deal.
You must get copy and see that it
gets as wide a circulation as possible.

The National Press Club. which gave
Mr.. Rogers his appointment as Con-
gressma during his recep-

teriors were made, told him his duties
would be to roam over the country,
pry into the state of the Union, check

Office was announced to continue dur
ing good behavior" and his compen'
sation, "a suspended salary of 81 per

The pitfalls set for Congressman

of his country, and methods of dis
posing of job seekers and escaping
pledges made by others before his elec-

for fellow politicians by Will Rogers
in the comedy.
"They must have figgered couldn't
mess up their plans much, for shucks,

An Interesting Viewpoint.

A reader who uses the signature

comment on the film underworld"
He is evidently able through hard per-
sonal experience to speak from view.
point, both correct and unusual.
I'VE have been to see Underworld
and believe that many parts. of the
picture are improbable, not to say i'm
possible. However I belieye there is
in it q most remarkable characterize.
ton; that of the stool-piseon. or
'under-cover' man for the police. You
spot him the instant he starts down
the stairs and when he fiippantly
throws his handkerchief In front OF
the perfume vending machine there Is
nothing more that could possibly be
shown in regard to him.
Throughout the picture he remains
the trouble maker, always ready to
start something that will not involve
him, and always seeking information
for the detectives. But by no actual
event, even the smallest. can his back
ground be traced, yet you know that
all the mysterious knowledge and ac-
tions Of the police come directly
through him as naturally as night
follows day.
ITO me this is the most subtle and
clever character portrayal ever con-
ceived by an author and portrayed
by an actor in this or any other pic
ture."

"the girl with the naughty wink" In

THE old stage-door Johnnies seldom
were fresh,'" Miss Fitzgerald says.
THE most they ever did was to line
up outside the stage entrance and
whisper in awed tones among them
selves when the star appeared.
'They would pen long love letters to
the stars and frequently send gifts,
ranging from trinkets to valuable jew
elry. They usually begged for an op-
portunity to meet us, and if we
couldn't grant this, entreated US. to
wear their jewelry. When they sent
us flowers they would ask us to carry
them as we went out the stage door.

us for our pictures. They would buy
them at shops and send or bring them
to us for autographing"

Revives Ibsen Comedy.

WALTER HAMPDEN has sprung
the first real surprise of the the
atrical season on beginning his Attn
consecutive year as an actor-manager
in New York by scoring an emphatic
popular success with an Ibsen
comedy.
The name Of Ibsen usually is asso-
ciated with highbrows and special
audiences, but this is not the case so
far as IAN Enemy of the People. +"
the play chosen by Mr.. Hampden, is
concerned. This play has serious
underlying purpose. as all of Ibsen's
plays have-but. speaking theatrical
~, 1t Is comedy. and as presented by
Mr.. Hampden and his permanent
company at Hampden's Theater. it is
declared lively entertainment.
Most people who think Of "Ghosts"
or "Hedda Gabler" when Ibsen Is
mentioned, are unaware that the Nor
wegian master wrote comedy, and
managers apparently were equally as
ignorant on the subject, for IAN
Enemy of the People" was sadly neg.
lected on the English-speaking stage
for 45 years until Walter Hampden
brought 1t from oblivion.

How Wings Evolved.

Mr.. Lasky heard the story he was en-
thusiastic but regretful.
"I like your story and ! believe that
it would make a wonderful picture,
Mr.. Lasky told the author, but 1t
would be impossible to film 1t. We
would have to buy 800 airplanes. hire
hundreds of skilled aviators, obtain
the services of thousands of trained
soldiers. Why. such a picture would
cost us five or six million dollars.
Here Saunders should have assented
graciously, but he didn't.
'I know way out OF that d.
lemma,' he told the producer. Sup
pose that can persuade the War De-
partment to cooperate with you In
che making of 'Wings'-that they
will loan you airplanes, flyers, equip.
ment and soldiers-would you produce
the picture them"
Mr.. Lasky agreed to do so, and
young Mr.. Saunders set off for Wash
ihgton and as difficult a feat OF sales
mafiship as ever confronted any prime
minister of an impoverished govern
rnent seeking a loan in Wall Street.
officials Of the War Department
agreed with Saunders that the Ameri-
can people should know all about the
activities of the American Army in the
air, and that there was no finer way
of showing them than through the
medium of a gripping and tremendous
motion picture.
Then Lasky launched wings" with
all the great resources of Paramount.
1t was the, pet of the studio. The
first step was the appointment of Lu-
Glen Hubbard as producer. Next was
the selection Of Wellman as director.
He was the logical choice, for he had
been a war ace. A cast was chosen
with infinite care. and Charles Rogers
and Richard Arlen We're picked as
typical young aviatorS to play the
principals in Saunders story.
Three months later all the elements
of. the great undertaking were in flow

Helen Hunt Jackson story, was
made into superproduction by VIII

industry. who has since retired, after
having amassed a fortune in the the.
atrical world.
A dozen years in the film industry
is long time. Unlike other giant In.

youth, despite the fact it is classified
as the third greatest industry" in the
world today.

AIDA Gleason was the Ramona Of

the marching song of the American
soldiery in Cuba just as George NJ.
Cohen's "Over There" was the official
march of the doughboys in the World
War.
The injunction, Remember the

as an incentive to the great business

Miss Bow appears as the American
girl, one of the modern set, who can

conflict with the edicts of the heart,
