alone is worth the price of admission
and is good revolutionary theory as
WE'LL
The story in brief is that Robert
and his friends, when Robert is
trailed down and arrested by the
royal police spy Vicomte Ribaut,
mutiny, seize the ship, and land on
a Caribbean island, where they set
up-a republic and prey on the French
kings merchant ships. Ribaut is
carried along out of spite; when he
protsets that he would rather die
than become a pirate" they tell
him that this is a promotion from
police spy.
The love interest is largely con-
cerned about the affair of Robert
with Marianne, daughter of the rul-
ing class. 1t will take more than a
couple of revolutions, apparently, to
shake this notion out of the heads
of romance writer's.
The scene of the first acc is
timed 1888, in the second act, and
after a year on the island, that is,
in 1889, French fleet appears, the
island is betrayed to them by let
ter from Ribaut, and they land and
take possession. Our bourgeois au-
diences are so little familiar with
history that they gasp with aston
ishment as much as the stage char
acter, Ribaut, when the commander
of the landing party confirms Rob-
ert in his governorship, and an
nouncee that there has been revo-
luton in France. "The king is
DONE" he says, with fine disregard
for the historical detail that Louis
was not even suspended" until
1892, and not executed until 1893.
But who learns historic details at
a musical comedy? 1t is enough
that some of the solvent New York
ers should be reminded that 1889
was red letter year in world af-
fairs.-V. 8.

converted to some
kind of superficial and warped the
DRY of naturalization; he has simply
taken wholesale out of it's original
home the Barcarolle from Tales of
Hoffman, a good chunk of La Pa
Iona, and that tune, whatever it is,
that the wooden soldiers in Chauve
Sorts march to. A lot of the rest
of the opera sounds pretty familiar,
too.
But ii is all good, and. no one
should seriously object to see some
good use made of the Barcarolle at
last.
The ladies of the New Moon are
selected for slimness rather than
beauty, but they can all sing. Marie
Callahan, as Julie, has an especially
pleasing voice. Evelyn Herbert, as
Marianne, the principal feminine
character, can not only sing, but is
easy to look upon from certain ang-
les-if only she and the others did
not have quite so many angles!
The plot is a quaint one, about
one Robert Nilsson, a revolutionist,
fleeing from King Louis XVI to the
extent of selling himself as an in
dentured servant in Louisiana, and
taking with him (see the snobbish
twist) his groom, Alexander. Alex
ander Gorgeous Alexander" of the
song is responsible for the most of
the comedy by-play. He has a
touching skill in dancing on the nape
of his neck. The part is taken by
Gus Shy Robert, sung by Robert
Halliday, is the character used to
introduce the fine marching chorus,
"Stouthearted men," the refrain,
shoulder to shoulder, holder and
holder, we grow as we go along"

CONGRESS AGAINST
FASCISM IS NEEDED

| Scandinavian countries, strive after
the same aims and both represent
the ruthless advance guard of the
ter-revolution.
What Shall Be Done?
What are we to do in the face of
this growing danger, in the face of
the growing net of these political
class murderers who are determined
and conscious of their aims, who are
subsidized by capitalism and who
are urged onward by the theories
of the heaven-sent right of imper-
ialism?
Become excited, shout, expose the
wounds, count the number of vic
Tins, keep count of the murdered?
That certainly, but no complaints,
no matter how eloquent they may
come from the hearts of honest peo-
pie, no lyrical condemnation can
halt the onward progress of a ma
chine which has been let loose
amongst humanity with the express
aim of preventing a transformation
Of human society by physical force.
Organization must be opposed by
organization, numbers by num-
bers. Co-ordinated measures must
be adopted and united movement
of disapproval organized whose
voice is strong enough and deter
mined enough to prevent this arti-
ficial catastrophe.
Action Urgent.
Two years ago together with Ro-
main ROLAND and other persons l
founded an international anti-fascist
committee which modified the most
prominent personalities of the left
wing movement from the idealists
and democrats to the revolutionar-
les. In these two years the COM
mittee has acted. 1t interfered
every time murder and brutality
threatened. To a certain extent its
activity has been successful and on
certain occasions it's moral author
ity and its energy has succeeded in
placing bounds to the bloody ex-
cesses of international fascism,
That, however, is not enough. The
time has come for a grand demon
stration, an organized concentration
of the anti-fascist forces by calling
an international anti-fascist con-
gress.
That is an idea which l am now
expressing for the first time here
to people with hearts and con-
sciences, i. e., men and women who
revolt against the brutalities, crimes
and excuses of fascism which no
honest citizen can continue to toler-
ate.
This congress must be convened
upon the broadcast possible basis
and must naturally be kept apart
from any direct political agitation
and be above the political parties.
A tribune will then be formed from
the representatives of the victims,
the executed, the prosecuted can
come from all corners of the world
and expose facts to which the world
must listen. The congress must
also be an organization for work.
1t must examine all means which
can be used in order to build up
damn, mighty and powerful, with
which the proletarian organizations
of the people can offer at least eff
fective resistance to the forces of
fascism.

MY last memory of New Bedford
w picket demonstration at the
Page Mill.
Two picket-lines were walking up
and down in trent of the mill. An
other group of strikers stood near
by. Police We're stationed at stra-
tegic points and questioned every
passerby. There were 65 scabs in
the Page Mill, 65 sneaking, grovel-
ling scahs who were trying to stab
their fellow-workers in the back
And, where there are scabs, there
are always police to protect them.
CASHMERE LanIieras. one Of the
most militant and most frequently
arrested Of the picket leaders, came
riding by on his bicycle. One of the
uniformed guardians of the mill
owners interests grabbed the handle
bars and threw Lamieras to the
ground Instantly the mass of
workers surged forward. Cries and
imprecations filled the air. The cop
grew pale. A colleague, more ex-
perienced in such matters, whis-
pered a few words to the frightened
policeman. They decided to let La
mieras pass. The strikers moved
back, dark. defiant tide.
It was only light skirmish, but
it showed the hidden power of the
workers-and gave intimation of
sharper conflicts Only two days
later police fired at strikers march
ing from the Page Mill, dubbed
many and threw several into Jail.
One Of those arrested, a 63-year-old
striker, was so brutally beaten that
he had to be taken to the hospital.
Remember: it is a crime to strike
in America.
New Bedford fights on and will
fight on. 1t is hard TO straight.

Election

Old elephant shined it's nose
With oil draught from a pot,
Covered by the great big dome,
Where rotten tea could be got
The elephants nose shined in the sun
In the great circus of Uncle Sammy,
Said in fun: everything is done,
Let's pay visit to Tiger-Tammany!
The Tiger was tanned, it knew it's tricks,
AS it grew up in the Sewer,
It's dwelling built from good CRAFTY bricks,
The circus owners good teachers to her!
She knew what was coming; awaited the visit,
So dressed up especially for the affair."
Her skin was spotty, she creased it,
Clean and spotless glittered her hair.
"Old Alp is coming" yelled the stout Tanner
Get into the old trick, don't make any fuss
Show that you are angry, make faces at her,
For now has started the greatest Circus
Old Alp has entered with it's oily skin
From which the oil was slowly dripping
And yelled in Defiance this fight I'll win
SO started to give the Tiger whipping.
The Tiger Kissed; Old Alp moaned,
The circus crowd was full of fire.
The battlers mouth from hatred foanled
AS the stout Tanner managed the wire
The circus ground was covered with oil
Like sewer of filth it looked
The stout tanner seen the crowd boil
SO had both wires on a nail hooked
And laughed with contempt at the mob
Which witnessed the sham-fight
Yellow to his partner: say listen Bob
old Man Barnum was perfectly right!

RECORDS TOPPLED
Marie Frere Hits for New
Game and Set Marks in
District League.
TWO womens season records top
pied last night when Marie
Frere, anchor of Meyer Davis

"WO women's season records top
pied last night when Marie
Frere, anchor of Meyer Davis
team in District League, gar
nered a 148 game and 361 set.
Her counts were 148 100 and 113. A
triple header strike in the eighth, ninth
and tenth boxes accounted for her heavy
count in the first game. This last-min-
ute fiare-up enabled her team tc WIN
over Temple 498 to 49O.
Marie's 361 set broke Marjorie
Brandts previous high mark OF 359 and
her new high game topped the l39
record held by Lucy Owen OF Arcadia.
You may not believe there is such
thing as jinx, but you would have to
do some high pressure talking to con-
vince Al Gardner, the Convention Hall
boss that the Meyer Davis team is not
such an animal to his pet team in the
District League.
Never Davis bowlers thrice downed
the champion Convention Hall five last
night. thereby dropping Gardeners ia
vorites out of first place. That is not
the most convincing evidence to the
alley manager. 1t is the fact that Meyer
Davis pinmen have taken f1ve OF SIX
games from Convention Hall this sea-
son.
