Very little time was lost by radios
ingenious corps of amateurs in setting

"F asst Life" Moves
Slowly and Gets
Nowhere

THIS melodrama by Samuel Ship
man and John B. Hymer at the
Forrest is trashy production. Its
aim is to show that the wages of
gin is murder, the electric chair or
suicide. The first scene opens up
with a wild party which is being
thrown by young man in his apart
ment in honor of his first birthday.
After the drinking is over and the
guests depart, the young man un-
dresses for bed, and the curtain
comes down, only to rise again after
few minutes with negligee-clad
lady sitting on the young mans
knee.
A regular scandal is forestalled
by the appearance of one of the
guests who returns and gets killed
The young man is arrested for the
murder, but of course he was inno-
cent-the deed was committed quite
accidentally by another member of
the party who happened to be the
governors son.
The play winds up with the con-
demned man getting snatched from
the jaws of death and the suicide
of the governors son. You ma;
imagine how much hokum took place
in between.
The play is opposed to sin and
gin and capital punishment. A man
sitting back of me expressed his
disapproval of capital punishment
"Only god has a right to take life,'
he said.
The only worth while scene in the
play is the prison scene which shows
four condemned men in row. One
of them did not believe in god. He
killed three men but regretted that
he could not make it quartet. He
died game after telling the chaplain
to go to hell.

Tight of Asia, . with Walter
Hambden, Appears Unreal

THE life of Buddha, who was born
in the sixth century before Christ,
is the basis of "The Light of Asia
with Walter Hampden, now playing
at Hampden's Theatre. 1t is in a
prologue and four acts and is writ
ten by Georginia Jones Walton.
The play will appeal to two groups,
those interested in the teachings of
Buddha, and the devout fans of Mr..
Hampden. AS bona fide dramatic
production, it just does not click.
In addition to Mr.. Hampden, cap
able cast of 75 have been assembled
who do their utmost to put the
breath of life into the play that at
no time seems real.
The play covers 81 years in the
life of Buddha, born as Siddartha,
prince of the Sakyas. Of course,
Mr.. Hampden plays the part of Bud
dha. 1t shows how his family tries
to prevent him from knowing that
there is any old age, sickness and
death in the world. All those with
ailments are banished from the court.
Suddenly an old leper appears and
reveals the truth of life to the young
prince who then leaves his wife and
court to try and save mankind. He
says that his mission in life will be
to heal the sick and end all suffer-
ing.
Going to the woods, the prince
lives with various groups of wander
ers over period of seven years,
when suddenly he becomes inspired
and calls himself the Buddha. This
is the best act in the play, some re-
markable dances being performed by
a group of nine girls, which accord
ing to the program is staged by
Ruth st. Denis. Temptations in
all forms appear before him in this
act, but he sits quiet and vows to
fulfill his mission.
In the last act he returns to his
court, and to the dlsmay of his wife
and family refuses to take his place
in the royal family. Instead he says
he will travel the earth and preach
his ideas to all who will listen.
While Mayor Jimmie Walker has
closed up Mae Vests Pleasure
Man" may it be known that the
Buddha's court is called the Pleasure
Palace. One of the women of the
court asks in surprise how can it
have such name as long as the
prince only wants one wife.
The princes wife is played by
Ineborg Torrup, while other mem
bers of the cast include Cecil Yapp,
Eugene Powers, LIE Roi Operti and
Louis Polan.--S. P.

we were no longer needed as the

23rd I.T.U. Convention
Proves Reactionary
by a Worker Correspondeut)

by a Worker Correspondent
The 23rd Annual Convention of
the International Typographical
Union, which met at Charleston, S.
G., the early part of September was
undoubtedly one of the weakest and
least productive of results of any
heretofore held Such important
questions as amalgamation of the
printing trade crafts, the organiza-
ton of large non-union offices and
action against the various trade
schools were either entirely ignored
or else dealt with in half-hearted
manner. The merging and closing of
newspapers received no considera-
tion whatever.
But this is not surprising. Not
much was expected from the present
convention. The so-called progress
sives have not taken office as yet,
giving them an excuse. The change
from dictatorial and autocratic ad-
ministration of more than 35 years
has left the mass of the member

petence and ignorant of the most
important questions affecting the
larger jurisdictions.

These conventions are held an

They also have become a sort of ad-

the advancement of their political
ambitions.

city with only At printers, located in
the South with the convention set
for the first week in September, the
hottest period of the year-was
