The pearls from the South Sea

Film Record OF a Scientific
Expedition at the Cameo

CAPTAIN SHOWS picture story,
y Hunting Big Game in Africa"
now being shown at the Cameo
Theatre, is one of the films that
merit revival. Originally shown on
Broadway few years ago it still
stands as one of the best of it's kind.
1t is record of two years spent
in the African jungles in search Of
specimens for the Oakland Museum
of Natural History. The opening
scenes allow a glimpse into the
whaling industry on the African
coast. From then on the pictorial
records of the expedition follow
systematically the progress of each
step into the jungles.
Modes of travel in the different
sections of the country are an in
teresting feature: By mule teams,
to oxen, to camels, then by Ford
and finally the only way possible,
by foot. Meanwhile as the differ
ent stages are reached the animal
life of each section is given with
startling success. Since this was
the purpose of the expedition, the
human life of the jungles is only
secondary. What there is of it in
the films-the native customs and
ceremonial rites-are welcome
addition to the story.
Securing specimens is danger
Gus task. Leopards, rhinos, buffalo
and elephants particularly are not
willing to give up their hides with
out battle. AS a result some of
the incidents of the hunt are thrill
ing. A charging elephant dashing
into the lens is obvious danger.
The revival of films of such inter
est by the Film Arts Guild makes
trip to the Cameo especially worth
while to the proletarian armchair
traveller whose travelling must neces-
sarily be confined between the fac
tory and the home.

RIGHT WING in
CAP MAKERS WIN
GANG VICTORY
But Militants Expose
Jobless Fund Fraud

(By a Worker Correspondent
A ridiculous comedy was staged
by the right wing officialdom at the
meeting of the Capmakers Local
last Saturday night, which was to
have been held for elections of a
new executive board,
Rank and File Stay Home.
The worst elements in the organ
ization, the proud possess~rs OF
"life-jobs," these working bootleg
overtime with the consent of the Of
ficialdom at time when hundreds
of capmakers are walking the streets
jobless, were modified to come to
the meeting. But the great majority
Of the capmakers, those compelled
to come to the bureaucrats for a
lob, remained at home.
When it comes to permitting bal
1oting, so that all the membership
can have an opportunity to partici-
pate in the elections for union func-
tionaries, that is out of the question
Zaritsky and his club-controlled To-
Gals will never permit secret cleo
tons and can maintain control only
so long as they know that the mem
bers would fear to be seen register
ing their vote against the admins
tration.
At the meeting it was seen that
no one, not a member of Zaritsky's
club had any chance to be elected
Even those openly speaking against
the left wing, but not members of
his clique, lost out when the gang
vote was counted"
The cynical railroading thru of
Zaritsky's hand-picked executive
board was in no way delayed by the
left wing speakers exposure of the
union wrecking activities of the
Zaritsky gang. J. Schogel, S. Boer-
UNI, Abe Jonas and others assailed
the reelected" right wing executive
board for supporting Zaritsky in his
campaign to force piece-work and
the return of the 44-hour week upon
the membership, and also his DELHI
crate destruction of the organiza-
ton by expulsion of all progressive
elements opposed to his sellout poll
cies.
Regular Boys" Exposed.
The militants speaking also ex-
pose the officialdom's criminal neg
lect in collecting the three per cent
unemployment insurance fund from
the manufacturers. This was con-
sciously done in order not to irritate
the friends of the right wing, the
employers, it was explained. AS a
result of this the employment fund
which provided the jobless with 2
dole enabling them to carry on, was
completely shut down.
At the so-called vote count, the
chairman, one of the regular boys
