'Kldush Hashem" OPENS at
the YddiSh Art Theatre

A tedious, grandiose historical
"A drama waddles it's way thru six
teen long, lugubrious scenes at the
Yiddish Art Theatre on Fourteenth
Street. "Kidush Hashem" is a rather
heavy-hoofed dramatization of a
feeble novelette, of the same name
by Sholom Asch, who happens to
be one of the outstanding Yiddish
prose writer's.
The play deals with one of the
early class wars in Poland, the re-
volt in 1913 of the oppressed
Ukrainian masses against the des-
potic rule of the Polish feudal lords
and landowners. In this war the
Jews, who occupied favored mid
die position and received many priv
ileges from the overlords, played a
something less than glorious role.
Under the guidance of their reli-
gious shamans and other pious,
well-to-do leading citizens, they
supported the Polish mobiles in their
efforts to crush the revolt of the
Ukrainian masses. And as often
happens to middle-of- the-road peo-
pie, the Jews wer ethe first and the
greatest victims. Betrayed by their
friends" the Polish mobiles, they
were left to face the fury of the
Ukrainian peasants, who, goaded on
by their priests and -barbaric
leaders, slaughtered thousands of
Jews.
1t is this slaughter of the Jews,
rather than the class significance of
the Chmielnicki uprising, that of
course occupies the attention of the
average patriotic Jew. The mere
mention of Chmielnicki's name is the
signal for Zionists, rabbis, socialists,
cloak manufacturers, etc., to put on
their praying shawls and stand me-
taphorically at the Wailing Wall of
Jerusalem, beating their breasts in
loud lamentation.
And Maurice Schwartz, collaborat-
ing with Sholom Asch, goes in heav-
lily for this religio-nationalistic tear.
squeezing in "Kidush Hashem" The
play has been done in spectacular
fashion. Every scene is fortissimo
Fully so actors, lavishly CARRIED
wander in and out of the 16 scenes
And yet the general effect is tawdry
and inept. The play has no unity;
it merely rambles-until it finds its
wy to god.
Two or three scenes of "Kidush
Hashem" are excellently done and
the settings by S. Ostrowsky are oc-
casionally, as in the synagogue scene
executed with real imagination. But
the intrinsically bad play is made
oven worse by pretty terrible acting
by some members of the cast which
is hardly redeemed by the good work
of Yedhiel Goldsmith, Bina Abramo-
vitz and the two unusually talented
children, Hirsh Seidman and Rose
Ellenberg. The play suffers, too
from the Enthusiastically chaotic
direction of Maurice Schwartz whc
gives a competent, tho uninspired
performance as the mystical Little
Tailor.
The incidental music by JOSEPH
Achron, while far above the level OF
the play, lacks interest and distinc-
tion.-A. B. M.

to thwart the advance of the work

That is for the pragmatists to
discover!
1t is sufficient to say that the
book finds its place in that rapidly
accommodating literature the purpose
and result of which is to help dis
arm the workers, to preach to them
the dogma of class collaboration
rather than of struggle-in short

Unity Of the

MOSCOW, (By MaiD 1.-THE idea

tives of Denmark decided to put up
this question for the decision of
the Northern Secretariat (Cartel)
If Boot & Shoe Operatives. At the
meeting Of the Secretariat held in
ay, 1928, the Swedes demanded
ut only that the initiative of call
ing a conference should be given up,
but that all participation in it
should be renowned.
The result of this meeting and
the pressure brought to bear by the
Scandinavian and international re-
formists was that besides the initia-
tors-the Scandinavian Union of
Harness Makers and Upholsterers
and the Leather Workers Union of
/ the USSR-only the Finnish Leath-
err Workers Union participated in
the Conference. There were two
points on the agenda of this con-
ference: a. On the LWU USSR
