soothed. He demands a trial, and
he gets tall in illusion that COM
bines actuality and dreams.
After couple of months confine-
ment in the sinking, dark hole, Red
Adams physique is broken, but not
his mind. He dies bravely. AS a
rebel, he tells his comrades to sing,
and they answer with the strains
Of the well-known "Warshevianka. !"
The play has some faults. Sinclair
is not dramatist. The intellectual
worth of the wobblies is also not
profound. Sinclair utters with Adj
ans lips his own words, humani-
tartan generalities, that have no
connection with the prison tank.
This does not, however. alter the
general impression which is entirely
good and heaithful one.
The first act, with it's mass scene
in prison, is carried through with
power and rhythm. The end Of the
act reaches high, artistic altitude.
When the prisoners sing with chok-
ing Threats their song as their
voices give out and gradually die,
an electrical current passes through
the audience. It is a proletarian
sacrifice in the finest and highest
sense of the word. A wealth of
revolutionary pathos lies in the
courageousness of the herded har-
Dor workers, in the hurting of their
songs into the faces of their OPP
pressors, their only effective, sharp
weapon.
Together with the actors on the
stage you feel, when the air traps
are closed, that the last bit Of air
has been choked out. Together with
them you feel the scaIding steam
that the guards have forced in to
silence the prisoners.
Next TO the first act, the third
is the best, especially the trial scene
The players do not use any masks
and that makes the thing more hu.
man, more alive. The trial scene
is played well, rounded out ant
pointy, grotesque and mixed with {
little burlesque. The impression
however, is not weakened on &C
count of this.
1t seems that both Sinclair ant
the directors had laid the Creates
weight on the second act. On tn,
shoulders of one player, Grover Bur
CESS, has been placed colossal bur
den. He must, through hallucina
tons, not only reveal bits Of thu

SHANGHAI, Dec. 23.-It is esti-
mated here that 100000 Chinese
peasants in Kansu province will
perish during the coming winter due
to famine, heavy taxation and raids
by soldiers of the Marking armies.
No relief whatsoever can be ex-
pected from the Marking govern

that it was aware of the situation
in Kansu until the middle of No

anything even il it so desired.
On the other hand the revolution
airy workers and peasants in the
province, under the leadership of
the Chinese Communist Party, are
organizing Soviets and winning

was reported last month that when

sphere of influence is supposed to
extend over Kansu province, sent
troops against the revolutionists,

Feng is at present interested in
building railroad line into Kansu
which will enable him to send troops
more easily to the far distant prov

Beside the 100000 peasants in
kansu who face death by starvation,
another 100000 peasants in the

In short preface, Upton Sinclair
tells of an occurrence that impelled
him to write this play. In 1923, an
l. W. w. strike broke out in the
harbor of st. Pedro, California. The
police threw all the 600 strikers into
prison tsunny California is known
for its gray, dark prisons). When
the strikers refused to discontinue
singing their wobbly songs, the
minions of law and order closed all
the windows of the prison corridor
and forced steam into the prison
cells. The prisoners kept singing
until they fell unconscious from lack
of air and heat.
These few lines give picture of
The play and of the I. w. w. at the
time when they were revolution
airy organization, though actuated
by false revolutionary ideas.
The entire action takes place in
prison. From beginning to end it
is a sharp struggle between the
awakening harbor workers and the
tools of the shipbuilding owners or
ganization. 1t is class struggle
without frills or trimmings! Bru-
tai, murderous subjugation without
perfumel The play is raw and
naked as is the war between labor
and capital in our democratic"
country.
There is not much to tell. The
story of the play is short. The dis
trict attorney taunts the leader Of
the strike, "Red Adams" He tries
to buy him. He tries to discourage
him. When he does not succeed, he
breaks him physically. "Red" Ad-
ans is thrown into "hole" in the
cellar of the prison, without air,
without clothes, in darkness, and
hungry. Various Authorizations rush
through his fevered brain. He sees
himself free man. He sees his
wife who persisted, a victim Of pow
erty and lack of medical attention,
He struggles hard with himself not
to lose his mind entirely.
In his Authorizations, Adams sees
a private room in a night club
where representative of the shir
owners disports himself with a
woman of easy virtue. A little later
his (Adams') comrades appear, and
as in the good old times, they all
go to the "Chink' TO eat. His dead
wife appears and speaks .soothingly
to hirn- that she will never leave
him Red Adams. however. is no,

II. w. w. problems, but also
their past life with all the bitterness
of poverty and failure. The artist,
Grover Burgess, puts into the scenes
great deal Of power and passion.
1t is not his fault that the scenes
are too long. 1t is difficult to keep
an audience interested for a lengthy
period, giving it hallucination after
hallucination.
Broadly speaking, the general i'm
preston of the acting is favorable.
The directors have used a lot of
sense in the production, and the ac-
tors play simply and naturally. You
forget at times that you are in a
theatre.
A new note is to let the dead
woman speak with sound accompani-
ment. Another new note is the
reverberation of the echo. 1t gives
better illusion of another world.
With a minimum number of sets,
the scenic director manual Essman)
succeeded in creating a prison with
all its horrors. The light effects
are excellent in all scenes. One feels
that the scenic designer and the
director have learned much from the
modern European theatre.
Singing Jailbirds" has been pro-
duced in number of countries, with
great success. A vote of thanks is
due the New Playwrights group for
bringing it to the American stage.
With all it's weaknesses as to tone
and production, it is a telling rev.
dictionary play, portrait of the
ruling capitalistic iron heel in the
land of the brave and the free.
We very strongly recommend all
our readers to go to see this New
Playwrights' production. The lead
ers Of the troupe deserve the patron
age of all class-ccnscious workers.

ROLLER SKATING

When blithesome spring makes its arpearance-actual as well as ill theory-thc sale of roller skates be- gins to boom. Some of the roller skating lads we meet on the side walk may be operating last years skates, but large portion of them must be newcomers in the field of such locomotion. It is now as neces- sary for the parents of young hope fusl to provide roller skates as 1t is to provide so carts when they are younger.
 Children on roller skates must re- main on the sidewalks: at least, this is an elementary rule of safety. Crossing the streets nowadays is sufficient of a danger to those on foot; to the children on roller skates, with the lack of control which to a Iti tdIll tAltllL tIlIt lllN olNS tllS ger is multiplied. Roller skating on a smooth street pavement is entirely out of the question, although here and there it is being done.
 Youth. with its energy and desire for new sensations, must have its joy. Moving forward on roller skates, which to an elderly person sems a perfectly useless way of get ting along, possesses a mystic thrill that no one would deny to the boys girls. When you meet them contest ing the right Of way on the sidewalk simply smile and sidestep.

FOREIGNERS" IN LATIN-AMERICA

There is a prevailing notion that the American flag follows citizen
 wherever he may be in Latin America; that the American flag
 protects him in his rights, and If he
 runs into difficulties he has only to
 call on Uncle Sam and the L. S.
 Marines will promptly come to his assistance.
 Nothing is further awry. The con- stitutions Of the Latin-A American na-
 tions differ widely regarding the
 rights of Foreigners" including
 American citizens, but in none of them can the supposition be found
 that foreigners have special rights.
 Here is an important list issued by the Foreign Policy Associations: No special mention made of for
 eigncrs-Chlle, Dominican Republic
 and Uruguay.
 Foreigners enjoy same privileges
 as citizens, with no qualifications
