NJ. OLGIN DESCRIBES LENIN PAGEANT
Expression of Coectiuist Sbl Says Writer in Appreciation

pare living these great events. Living
them intensely, deeply.
And that scene that embodies the
first session of the Second Soviet
Congress! Did we care much wheth-
er the actors really resembled Lenin
and Trotzky? Was it of great i'm
portance whether the uniforms or
even the gestures were "true to life?
There was something truer and more
real than mere appearances in that
scene. There was the truth and the
reality of. our own feelings, our own
determination. We all merged in a
flood of revolution. We knew it was
coming, it was there.
When the comrade bearing the Red
Flag appeared on the edge of the plat
form to appeal for aid to the U. S.
S. R., we did not think of anybody
acting. A comrade was, in truth, APP
pealing to US. Everybody swore to
do his utmost to drive away the black
shapes that crawled from everywhere.
Were we children once more? No,
we were fully aware of reality. We
were a collective body with collec-
tive mind. We left our inherent unity
with our brothers over there. We ex-
perienced class unity, through the
power of impersonation. This is, per-
haps, the greatest task proletarian
performance can strive for.
.
''The Internationale."
When, at the end of the perform
ance, the crowd joined with the plat
form in singing the ''Internationale,' y
when shouts of joy went up both
from the stage and the mass, the
climax was reached.
The performance is significant not
only as an experience but also as
pointing the way for real proletar-
ian mass-theatre. Where the actors
are workers animated by the class
struggle and participating in the bat
ties of the working class, where the
plays are giving form to the unclear
but powerful strivings of the prole-
tartan masses, where spectators and
actors are united by common bond
of class emotions, where the things
performed on the stage are of vital
importance to all concerned, there the
technique will not fail to assume an
original form.
The Red Pageant marks, in this as
in many other ways, turning point
in the history of our Communist
movement. 1t was an expression of
vitality. 1t summed up in a graphic
fashion years of work. 1t revealed
to ourselves the presence of some
thing new that is more than sections
and sub-sections, committees and
units. 1t gave us all new courage
for further work and further efforts.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-01-26

was only impersonating the visions
that lived, uniformed, in the mind OF
the mass. Art, here as everywhere,
was whipping human potentialities,
class potentialities, into living form.
The actors, if actors they may be
called, were an integral part of the
gathering itself. The presentation on
iy continued, in a different medium,
the speakers discourses. The idea
remained unchanged. The mood was
unbroken. 1t was only heightened.
The mass lived in the scenes.
How much more elating and signi-
ficant was the playing compared with
anything a Legitimate" theatrical
undertaking can offer! How different
the whole! Here they were, one thous-
and entirely unframed women and
men, among them hardly handful
of workers who had at least an idea
of stage. They had had very few
rehearsals. They were acting under
the most trying conditions. The music
was played by strangers. The lights
did not work.
PrOletarian Achievement.
The beautiful chorus-singing was
drowned in the vast spaces of the
hall. Still, behold! Here is the mass
of the Russian people, poorly dressed,
bent-backed men and women of the
Cars empire. The crowd moves I'M
easily, the crowd is in deep despair
The cossacks come. Eashes swish in
the air. Thongs cut the peoples
backs. The crowd disperses, vanishes
Black forces reign. Tall posters, akin
to Russian church banners, advance
as if moving of their own will. Gro
tesque figures, they are, of the rich
man, the prince, the priest, the gen.
eral, the Gar. Ludicrous cartoons
We all know it's made for fun" Yet
somehow terrific anger serges,
Hatred grips everybody's heart. Fists
clench. The huge gathering is one
crouching monster, ready to leap
There is stifled cry in the hall
When the young figures draped in red
finally appear, driving away the APP
partitions, one greets them like a
true liberating force.
They are the purifying storm. There
is abandon in their sweep. There is
release in their abandon. We all
know: this is Edith Segal, our own
comrade, these are other friends whom
we meet every day. But now they
are transformed. We are with them,
in their vigorous gestures, in their
flashlike rush, in the turmoil at once
harmonious and chaotic like the revo-
luton itself. Is it the Russian revo-
luton? Who knows. Is it happen
ing on the stage? Not at all. 1t is
an event of major Importance in our
own lives. Somehow, we, ourselves,

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Jan. 25.-The
seourge of famine has made its ap-
pearance in the Hooking Valley, Ohio
mine region where the miners have
been on strike for almost ten monts
according to a report made by Vim
cent Kamenovitch, secretary of the
Pennsylvania Ohio Miners Relief
Committee, GIL Penn Ave, Pittsburgh
Pa. He has investigated the situation
in that locality with view to making
arrangements to send relief to the
striking coal diggers and their de-
pendents.
At HOLSTER, Athens county, he
found the children scantily clad and
undernourished with about twenty pei

UNDERESTIMATION
COMBINED WITH A
WAR SCARE TALK
Plunkett Reproved for
Letting Out Secret

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 25.-
Secretary of the Navy Wilbur's
seventy-one ship program which was
to come before the House committee
on Naval Affairs today, involves q
trick by which much more than the
estimated $750,000,000 will be spent
on the naval race with Britain, it be-
came known when experts pointed out
that the actual building propositions,
which Wilbur sets roughly at three
quarters of a billion" will actually
amount to at least a billion dollars,
and the program, once embarked
upon, can not be easily abandoned.
The strategy of the navy depart
ment seems to be to deliberately UNI
derestimate the cost, get Congress to
authorize the economy program" of
which Coolidge has signified his &C
ceptance, then cultivate a war scare
at the right moment to get the extra
appropriation.
1t is rather expected the schemes
will succeed.
Cal is Vexed.
President Coolidge speaking in his
usual equivocal Technology, today
"reproved" Real Admiral Plunkett, U
S. N, for starting the war scare toe
soon.
Statements of the character of Ad-
miral Plunkett's, naming directly GER
tain countries as those with which the
u. S. will have war in the near future
the President is represented as say
ing in substance, care ineffective ir
influencing Congressional action,
and interfere with the state depart
ment's diplomacy abroad.
Plunkett Repeats.
Plunkett yesterday spoke before
the Sons of the Revolution at the
Waldorf in New York, and defended
his fright" to talk about the next
war in the following language:
"We don't spend $724,O00,000 with
out reason. We have got to ex-
plain to the people of this country
why we spend this money"
War Over Trade.
The transcript of the first Plunkett
speech, in which the direct reference
was made to war with Britain has
been released, and shows the admiral
discussing the possibility of an Amer
lean merchant marine competing fol
the carrying trade of the world, as
saying:
"Just so long as you make that
your policy and you follow il
through, you are going to have war
l don't care whether it is with Great
Britain or some other nation, you
are going to have war just as surely
as you are sitting in this room with
me, if you dare to contest the con-
troll of the sea with your goods, not
with your guns"
The address was delivered on Sat
urday at the National Republican
Club.

SUSPECT TRICK
TO SPLIT SHOE
WORKERS RANKS
800 Vote Strike Aid as
5000 Stand Firm

BOSTON, Jan. 25.-What is be-
lieved to be an attempt to break the
strike of the 5000 shoe workers in
Haverhill, is to be made by the State
Board of Cancellation and Arbitration.
The Board announced yesterday that
it will investigate the causes of the
rike.
Leaders express the opinion that
the Board may be preparing to issue
a partial or small concession in an
effort to detach part of the shoe
workers and split the strikers ranks.
The Board declares, however, that
the main purpose Of the investigation
is to determine why certain shoe
manufacturers want to move out of
the state.
Their intention is to call repre-
sentatives of the manufacturers and
the unions to testify under oath be-
fore the Board. The books of the
firms and the unions will be examined
also.
The recent threat made by three
firms, tied up by the strike, that they
will move from the state is beloved
to have started state action against
the strikers.
Fight Wage Cut
The decision of an arbitration board
that the shoe workers wages be cut
from 10 to 35 per cent precipitated
the walkout of the workers. They

response resulted in tieup of SO
plants of the employers association.
In spite of the threat of the bosses
that they will apply to the courts for
attachments on the workers savings
in addition to injunctions, the workers
ranks were increased by strikes in a
few more shops. The unions officers
in Haverhill announced that many
independent plants had renewed the
1927 agreement since the strike
started almost week ago.
The strike was almost unanimously
voted despite the opposition of the
national officials of the union.
