Fexg7. o0n Family Ill
Bring in Many Shekels

For the last few seasons Gusta,
Blum has presented plays that have
I'D successful runs on Broadwa,
als'o their plots have been slender
I'D artificial. His latest opus, "That
0rguson Family" by Howard
Chenery, is now at the Little The.
atre and undoubtedly will be as huge
a Broadway success as the other
PLAYS sponsored by him.
Similar to the other plays which
have brot in the shekals, for Blum,
the present play is about the life
of middle class family. In manv
ways it resembles, "The Show Off
one of the successful plays shown
in New York several seasons ago.
Many times during the evening the
resemblance is so complete, that it
is quite startling.
One of the Ferguson daughters
steal few dresses from the de-
partment store where she works
while the son who is civil engi-
neer, wins a prize for his bridge
plan. The other daughter elopes
and keeps the audience interested
in her love affair. That in short.

shows how the petty bourgeois CON

The audience can easily find many

who closely resembles the character
Aubrey Piper in "The Show Off" is
able to put the audience in a happy
mood whenever he is on the stage.
He portrays the sure fire business
man and does so very convincingly.
The part is capably played by Ar
thur Kohl, who easily gains first
honors among superior cast. Mrs.
Ferguson is played by Jean Adair,
other members of the cast include
Marienne Francks, Alan Ward, Hal
liam Bosworth and Rita Paige.
If you want to leave your wor-
ries home and laugh at the expense
of the middle class, you could do
no worse than pay visit some eve
ming to the Little Theatre. Those
who would expect a critical exami-
nation of the petty bourgeoisie will
be disappointed for the play is only
written from the point of view of
creating laughs.-S. P.

Your letter reached me about ten

be very much pleased if you could
transfer that money over to the New
Bedford Defense Fund as a contribu-
ton from me. However, to do this
you must make the transfer in your
own office, because if the checks are
sent here for me to sign, I will not
be allowed to send them back again.
1t is strict rule here, that any
money that comes here must stay
here. To send money away from
here, one has to have nine reasons
and the extra special permission of
the warden and the unanimous con-
sent of the Board of Prison Direc-
tors. 1t takes four to six months to
acquire these special permissions, if
they can be acquired at all, which is
indeed rare. If you can possibly
arrange the matter, please do so.
You might do it by sending me the
receipts and letting me sign them
and then transferring the money
over, in cash, to the Defense Fund"

engage in social work.
For this purpose from 2 to 10
per cent Of the profit made by the
consumers cooperatives is assigned
for such work. About 100000
rubles have been thus assigned in
1926-27 primarily for the organiza-
ton of kindergartens, Fairgrounds,
croches and clinics. There were
228 new creches and 831 play
grounds and kindergartens opened
during that year. All of them have
been inaugurated not only with Or
ganizational but also direct ma
terial support of the toiling moth
ers. For instance, a kindergarten
was opened in Nizni-Novgorod, 25
per cent of the expenditures of
which have been supplied by the
mothers themselves.
Some cooperatives granted con-
siderable sums for such work. The
Moscow Consumers Cooperative
Society, for instance, granted $685.
900 rubles. A special form of this
work has been instituted in the CO.
operatives, known as Mother and
Child Corners" of which there
were 3,015 in the villages and $40
in the towns on July LIST, 1927. In
these Corners" a mother can pur-
chase everything necessary for the
care and training of children. Most
of the corners are connected with
the Department of Mother and

Cooperative baking also relieves

to accomplish the drawing of the

We must increase tenfold the energy
and self-activity of the cooperatives
and of the toiling masses belonging
to the cooperatives, particularly
the women, so that, shoulder to
shoulder with them, we may create
a new life, that we may build up
cooperation, the true path to So
