RHODE ISLANDS
TROOPERS CALLED
10 BREAK STRIKE
Police Injure Worker in
Demonstration
~ a Worker CorrespondenO


FALL RIVER, Mass. (By MaiD.-
Fearing the success of the Warren
village strike, where the workers
have succeeded in pulling out many
of the strike-breakers, who had been
induced to go to work, and getting
them to join the union, the Parker
Co. of Fall River has brought in the
state police of Rhode Island and
Massachusetts to aid them in the
fight.
On Friday after the strikers had
conducted a demonstration in front
Of the mills, when the scabs were be-
ing escorted to the trains, the police
began their usual campaign OF ter
rorism and one striker, Antoine Pap
pa had to receive attention from a
doctor. He had been brutally at
tackd and beaten over the head with
an iron pipe.
John Znol, another striker, has
been arrested and is being held on no
stated charge.
Preparations are being made by
the state police of both Massachu-
sets and Rhode Island to protect the
scabs. The scab herders who shook
with fear when they arrested peace
able pickets during the Sacco-Van-
zetti demonstration in Boston, will
be in their element now.
Workers in the textile plants of
Fall River are not so strange to
them as were the pickets on Beacon
Hill. Strike-breaking is the every
day job of the state cops.

Where so evident q comedy
gets that quality is, critically
speaking, much to the point.
Hannibal fights his comedic mar
tial way to the very gates Of
Rome and stops-falls into the
valley of the shadow Of thought
and goes back again.
Ostensibly he returns because
the frivolous and ddyenturing
wife of Fabius, dictator OF Rome,
beguiles his passions with the
patent whimsy of sex. Yes, she
does this purposef0lly-that was
her dramaturgical intention.
Amytis is semi-alien, half
Greek woman. The religion Of
the Roman state-patriotistn bores
her and the other civic and do.
nestle Roman virtues find her
too light-nainded for lodglnent in
her character. Her motive and
intention are quite clear up to this
point. It is to cast the net Of her
beauty on the tempestuous sea OF
Carthegenian passion. Clearly, to
her, Hannibal will prefer her to
any pleasure to be got from the
sacking of Rome.
The beguilement of Hannibal
accomplished in the diffuse ana
delightful manner Of comedy,
something quite unprepared en-
sues. The conquering general is
not merely beguiIed. Hannibal
becomes Hamlet, his martial clar.
ity OF purpose sickled over with
a humanitarian-pa cifist philosophy.
Wherefore? Does sex lure hold
also this astonishing potency
among its qualities?
It is from this strange philo.
sophical element that the climax
and the end, Hannibal's decision
to return without sacking Rome
arises.
The office OF criticism can only
lay bare the point as thematic
inpurity.
The adnltrant Notwithstanding,
the adultress is charming, and
the piece, all in all, deserving Of
all the success it has gained.
For the rest the invention Of

The acting Of Miss CoWl is good
enough-and not much more.
And this is praise sufficient
when the burden OF eliciting
laughter is to be carried along
with the task Of anticipating
ironic thought and teasing 1t out
Of ripples so casual and so care
less.
All the soldier parts as good

and costumes ars indeed splendid.

SONG WRITER
"HIT" WITH
WAR Dirty

It was the World War that
started Benny Davis, one Of
Americas popular composers, who
comes to the Fox this week with
rs melodists, on his way to fame.
Mr.. Davis had shown great ,:p-
titude as a song writer for sew
eral years. but It was not until
he wrote "Good-by, Broadway;
Hello, France" that his ability
was recognized by the public,
and more important for the COM
poser, the publishers. Dedicated
to the expeditionary forces the
breezy melody and lyrics caught
on instantly and soon was being
sung all over the country and
enIyening the dugouts in France.
Davis told Managing Director
s. j. Stebbins, of the Fox, hat
he wrote more than 200 songs
which made the rounds of the
publishers, always receiving to-
same verdict-not up to their
standard. These all were file
away as mementos of "love's
labor lost"
Then Dame Fortune smiled and
with his war song a hit these
same ''mementos" were dug out of
the Davis trunk and sent back
to the same publishers where
they were received with almost
open arms.
He is the author and composer
of more than a hundred song
hits included in which is MARY
