CLARA bow IS
HIT IN HULA
Madcap of Screen Pre-
sented in Unusual
Production

Clara Bow, the "flaming-haired
madcap Of the screen" is about to
"~madcap" again with the announce
ment today that her latest Para
mount production "Hula" will open

"Hula" according TO those who
have seen the latest presentation Of
Miss Bow, is one Of the very best
pictures offered the motion picture
public this year. AS the title sug-
gests, it is a tale of the Hawaiian
Islands with the upper stratum Of
society in the limelight.
The story itself is an adaptation of
a popular modern novel which car
ries the same title and which ome
from the pen Of Armine Won Temp
ski. This cross-section of society
life in the shadow of Waikiki tells
the adventures Of an American girl,
Hawaiian-born, who loves an Eng
lish engineer.
Not since 1T" has Miss Bow had
a vehicle so fitted for her versatility.
Hula" Is a perfect story for the
dashing "madcap of the screen" In
addition, It has q fine director ana
a great cast. Victor Fleming, who
directed the star in "Mantrap" and
has just completed "The Rough Rid
ers" and "The Way Of All Flesh"
starring Emil Jannings. handled the
megaphone. Members of the East in
her support are Give Brook. popular
leading man; Arlette Marchal, Ar

The possessor Of cit" presents a
great title, a great story, a great
director. great entertainment and,
well-after all, there's only one
Clara Bow. "Hula" presents Clara at
her best.

JANNINCS IN
NOTED ROLE
German Actor Lives
Out Part in Actions
AT Home

Hollywood is filled with players
who drop their character the second
the director orders "cut". They as
sumo their role when they hear
camera" They give the best Of
their ability, seldom worry Of things
other than their private affairs and
will never be truly great according
TO Emil Jannings, who fails to IN
derstand their temperament
For Jannings, declared by many to
be the greatest actor in the world,
is his character night and day from
the time q picture starts until 1t IS
ended.
II is for this reason that Mrs.
Jannings recently left home temper
arily. IL is for this reason that
Karl Koenig, Jannings' valet became
so nervous that be leaped at the
slightest sound. II is for this reason
that the Jannings chauffer, thereto
fore always proud OF his shiny mo-
tors, neglected them until a months
accumulation of dust and mud COW
cred their bodies.
For Jannings, not so long ago,
ceased to be the Emil Jannings that
they know and love. He became an
old man, ancient past the point of
caring what the world thinks. he
skunk down the street with hating,
sloven step; to all outward appear
ance a battered derelict, drifting to-
ward the drab sunset horizon of life.
1t mattered not if he was at the
D. ruvsn4nt ufndfn on0Ffrnr GQarnE
for 1.-The Way OF All Flesh" show
ing at the Rex Theater, Harlingen,
now, or at home. He never spoke or
lifted his head. Day and night he
remained the August Schiller Of his
story.
And so Mrs. Jannings stands, the
remarkable wife OF a remarkable
husband woman who can truly
understand the creative soul of an
artist. The world has known few
of them. Perhaps those close TO
Bernhard suffered with her when
she played Camille; the great Duse
and sympathized with her when she
swas torn by the %torturing emotions
Of her all-demanding roles. They
say that David Warfield carried the
sweet, sacrificing nature Of "The
Music Master" into his home when
he was making fame in that dra-
matte vehicle; became in fact, the
Music Master to all who knew him.
So Mrs. Jannings. rather than dis
rupt the creative flow by her pres
ence, elects to efface herself until
Emil J~anningz, the husband, replaces
Emil Jannings, the artist. II is a
sacrifice for both, perhaps more
complete for her than for MIN. But,
she would have us understand it is
a sacrifice she gladly makes.
Jannings appears in THE Way of
All Flesh" at the Rex Theater in
Harlingen Sunday.

Workers Resented Cuts

It is important to note that the en-
ployers not only raised the question
of the right to dismiss workers with
out compensation on the second day Of
the New Year, but even insisted upon
a general revision of the existing Gov
eminent rules and regulations on re-
lations between workers and employ
ors. Furthermore, the employers de-
manded that the percentage payment
on business operations payable to the
unions as well as the voluntary sub
scriptions organized by the latter
should be suspended.
On all these questions the point of
view of the workers was expressed in
the proposals presented to the Arbi-
tration Commission by the Canton
Council of Workers d ele g at e S &,
Kwangtung General Labor Union,
Kwangtung Union of Mechanics and
the Canton Association of Revolution
airy Workers. Although these propos-
ais differ in detail, their general tone
Is practically the same. The follow
ing proposals made by the General
Labor Union are the most typical: ~
the practice of dismissing workers on
the second day after the New Year
celebrations mus be abolished; y
dismissal Of workers is permitted only
when a months notice has been given
and on condition that three months
wages be paid in lieu of notice; 81
during the course Of one year after
the conclusion Of strike workers can
not be dismissed; ~ neither can the
employers during this period of time
close down their enterprises should
the enterprise be sold, workers are to
be paid off in accordance with point
2; 81 all agreements signed by the
trade unions and employers remain in
force.
Insisting On Rights
In putting up these demands the
workers are only insisting on the rec
ognition of those rights which had al
ready been regulated in part by the
Government.

ence. According to the social demo-
crat," the Swedish federation of
trade unions declared its unwilling
ness to send a representative. The
social democratic executive informed
the initiators of the conference by
letter that it could not send a repre-
sentative but hoped that the labors
and decisions of the conference would
be of use to the unemployed" This
is extremely characteristic Of the
Swedish reformists and social demo
Gratis. The social democratic party
"hopes that the conference will be
Of use to the unemployed" and---has
no desire to attend such conference.
Does this mean that the social demo-
Gratis admit that they have no desire
to be Of use to the unemployed?
The following questions stood on
the agenda of the conference: Re
port Of unemployed movement; 2
policy of government and public de-
partments as regards the unemploy-
ed; compulsory municipal work;
unemployed organizations and
their activities; 5.-the trade unions
and unemployment; 6.-unemploy-
ment insurance; THE problem of

tural laborers.

The present dispute prompted the
merchants in Canton, Hongkong and
Macao to carry on campaign against
trade union interference in industrial
disputes. The employers have organ
lied themselves into special Employ
ers' Association According to com
munications published in "The Picking
and Tientsin Times" on the 10th of
March, the police and few represen-
;atives of the Military Staff in Canton
took the employers side in the dis
pute and supported the idea of setting
up a single Employers Association to
struggle with the trade unions. It
was reported that certain members Of
the local organization Of the Kuoming-
tang also favored the employers. On
the 18th of March, however, the same
paper reported that the employers
were backing out and were ready to
make concessions to the trade unions,
Very interesting is the appreciation Of
the "Peking and Tientsin Times"
March 8th) and their change Of pol
icy:
Workers Technique Better
Generally speaking the merchants
appear quite helpless in the face Of
opposition. The workers seem to
know far more about organization
than the merchants do. They have
departments for secretarial service,
pieketing, propaganda, relief of sick
and needy members, entertainments
and social intercourse. The merchants
have nothing but their guilds and
their Chambers Of Commerce and the
members Of these bodies do not neces-
sarily know the other members.
The Picking and Tientsin Times
is especially disturbed by the fact that
the merchants were unable to utilize
the favorable support they received
from the authorities, remaining to-
tally inactive when the police and sol
diers had removed the pickets from
some of the enterprises. In any case,
the employers have given way, and
the dispute will evidently be settled
in favor Of the workers in the very
near future.

For this reason the rul-
ing class seeks other methods
TO influence the opposition. In
this case certain ''paytriotic" or
CARNATIONS are trying TO do the
trick by a series Of trumped-up
charges against The DAILY

not accomplish through outright
purchase. IL seeks to accomplish
with the aid of the Iron Heel.
We call upon all workers TO
Resist the Iron Heel. We call
upon you to fight the attempt to
crush The DAILY WORKER.
We call for immediate and sub
stantial contributions toward the
defense Of our case. BE on the
