fine CAST IN
CAPITOLSHOW
Prima Donna Star Of
New York to Play
In Marietta

A notable cast has been assembled
By the producers for the road show
Of Naughty Marietta" the popular
operetta by Victor Herbert which
comes to the Capitol theater here
Thursday for a matinee and evening
performance, and plays an evening
engagement in H%arlingen the follow
ing day, Nov. is. Outstanding for
her previous success in musical COM
edy and light opera is Miss Era
Briggs, who plays the title role Of
Marietta.
Miss Briggs is another young sing
err who reached stardom by way of
the chorus. She was a member of
the ensemble of Castles in the Air"
and her chance came when Miss Wv
iare Segal. the leading lady, was I'M
able to appear.
Told in the morning that she was
to take over the principal part that
evening Miss Briggs made her debut
as a featured performer without a
single rehearsal with the rest of the
cast. She was an instantaneous sue
cess. receiving eight curtain calls
after one number. The critics joined
nAAn Nnt duAitINI III HtONAaimlHk 0tF
n star Of the first order.
Needless to say, Miss Briggs re-
manned at the head Of the Castles
IN the Air" company for the balance
Of its New York engagement and
then played the part on the road.
Nivacious Era Briggs has a senti-
mental reason for joining the Naugh-
ty Marietta company. Her old home
is in the west and when she learned
that the production was to be sent
through that section, she was all the
more anxious to become a member.
Except for reaching the top notch
Of the ladder. Miss Briggs has
changed little since she left to 90 on
the stage. She u unaffected. and
she does not take her success too Sc
riously. In other words. Miss Briggs
has not taken IN any ~o-called temper

An Appeal By Lenin Against the War

colonies, for the enslavement of other
nations, for the seizure of advantages
and privileges in the worlds markets.
This war is the most reactionary of
wars, a war waged by the slave
holders of today for the maintenance
and Strengthening of capitalist
slavery. England and France lie
when they assert that they are wag-
ing this war for Belgium's freedom.
In reality they have been preparing
for this war for long time, and are
waging it for the purpose of robbing
Germany and depriving it of its
colonies; they have made an agree
Iment with Italy and Russia on the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT and division of
Turkey and Austria. The Tsarist
monarchy in Russia is waging wa
of robbery; it aims at occupying
| Galicia, annexing Turkish territory
enslaving Persia and Mongolia, e c
Germany is carrying on the war for
the purpose of stealing the coloniss
of England, Belgium, and France

torious, or whether the game i
drawn, in any case the war will bring

many of the best known Socialists

side of "their" bourgeoisie, and help
the bourgeoisie to deceive the people

still there is among the working
masses of Germany an ever rising
wave of protest and Indignation
against the government. Those Ger

over to the bourgeoisie have declared
in the press that they regard the tao

German government for their revolu-
tionary propaganda. In all the war;
ing countries, without exception, the
Indignation of the working masses is
maturing, and the example given by
the revolutionary activity of the So
cial democrats of Russia, and still
more by every success won by the
revolution in Russia, advances the
great cause of Socialism, Of the vic
tory of the proietariat over the ex-
plotting and bloody bourgeoisie.
The war is filling the pockets of
the capitalists and stream Of gold
is flowing to them from the state
treasures Of the great Powers. The
war arouses blind hate against the
enemy, and the bourgeoisie guides the
hostility of the people with the ut
most skill into this channel of ma
tional hate, thereby diverting the
peoples attention from the chief
enemy: The government and ruling
classes in their own country. But
the war, which brings Unreasonable
misery and horror to the working
masses, at the same time clarifies and
steels the best elements of the work
ers. If we are to perish, then let US
perish for our own cause, for the
cause of the workers, for the social
list revolution, and not for the in
terests of the capitalists, landowners,
and Tsar-this is what every class
conscious worker feels and realizes.
And however difficult revolutionary
socialist action may be at the pres
ent time, still it is possible, it is be-
ing carried on all over the world, and
it is our sole hope of salvation.
