Two of the most interesting the
aires in the Soviet Union are the
''Habima," which plays exclusively
in the ancient Hebrew language, and
the Jewish Kamerny Theatre, which
plays exclusively in Yiddish. The
staging and acting in both these the
aires is of a very high order and
strikingly original. They are both
attended not only by Jews but also
by Russians and foreign visitors who
do not understand either language
but are impressed by the dramatic
art and the settings. The Habima
was developed by Vakhtangov, who
was himself not Jew and had to
learn the language of the plays he
was directing. This theatres most
famous production is S. Ansky's
"The Dybuk," which the Habima
played not only in Moscow but also
in several European capitals and in
New York. The Jewish Kamerny
Theatre is under Granovsky's direc-
ton. By applying a new technique
in acting, Granovsky has breathed
the spirit of contemporary Russian
life into Yiddish classics like Sholom
Aleichem's 1.-TWO Hundred Thou
sand," an adaptation of Y. L. Per-
etz's "At Night" Goldfaden's "The
Witch" a play based on Jules Ro-
mains gives LIE Trouhadec," and the
'Tenth Commandment" a satire
according to Goldfaden."
In addition to the formal theatres,
the Soviet Union contains thousands
of trade union theatres, in which
the workers themselves write, pro-
duce, and act plays portraying their
life under the new regime. The best

LOS ANGELES, (By MaiD.-
Timothy Aecker, %, of 14O4 West
105th Street, walked into the office
of Captain Morris Stensland at the
sheriff's office with a bushel of
avacados, which he claimed he had
stolen, and gave himself up as a
thief-because he was out of a job,
hungry and unable to take care of
himself.
Il purposely went out of the city
to commit the crime" Aecker said,
because didn't want to be incar-
cerated in the city jail"
Aecker had undoubtedly heard of
the horrible conditions in the city
jails, in which prisoners are crowded
like sardines in a tin can, beaten up
and, in many cases left to die with
out medical aid.
Aecker was jailed-then sent to
the psychopathic ward for observa-
ton of his head, I suppose, instead
Oh his empty stomach.
Kept In Jail Dying.
Bernie Adair, 35, and Ellis Capps,
%, sailor aboard the U. S. S.
Maryland, are the last reported vic
Tins of police efficiency" under
Chief of Police James Edgar Davis.
Adair, with a fractured skull, was
kept hours in Jail without any care
whatsoever. He died Oct. 81, shortly
after he was sent to the General
Hospital.
Caps, arrested on suspicion" of
automobile theft, was injured in
Jail. The exact nature of his in
juries is unknown to the writer. The
police claim that he tried to commit
suicide by hanging. The same tale
came out from central police station
at the time officers were looking for
Hickman, hung at San Quentin a
short time ago. A red-headed boy
of 10 was caught on the street by
police officers, beaten up and jailed
as Observation-Disclosures he did not
look like the murderer of Marion
Parker at all. Anyhow, after few
hours he was reported dead-a
suicide" the official report stated.
And that in a room crowded with 60
prisoners.
AS the man was badly beaten up
before he reached the jail, it did not
take much to finish him after all.

faith that Mr.. Haddock will do his
very best for his employees"
Then the resolution, which was
probably drawn up in the company
office. goes on to say that "the Of
ficers are criticized for something
they know nothing about, and in
stead of putting these grievances in
public paper they should have
brought them up first with the mine
foreman, then with the grievance
committee" They seem to forget
that all these grievances enumer.
ated by the miners Light" are old
ones. They were brought up many
times at the meetings, but our Off
Gals, who have Mr.. Haddock's pock-
etbook at heart and not the interest
of the men, never tried to straighten
them out. They also threaten with
expulsion any miner who is caught
with "disrupting and disorganizing
the U. NJ. w. A." and attack the
writers of the miners Light" "who
did not have the grit to place their
names to the complaints" In one
word, these stool-pigeons expect our
comrades to expose themselves and
to be kicked out.
The gentlemen of the local and
the Haddock Mining Company are
badly mistaken. The Communists
working in Haddock will continue
to fight for the miners, they will
continue TO misuse mine papers,
leaflets, but they will not give the
generous and kind-hearted" Mr..
Haddock and his agents chance to
fire them. A bulletin will be issued
soon, answering both the company's
and local officials lies and the fight
will be carried on in the interest of
The miners.

tiers.
The mansion becomes the center
of conflict between White and Red
Army, and the possession of the
house passes from Red to White and
from White to Red. The father,
played by F. E. Samytschkowski,
discovers that his son is the leader
of the Red forces. A struggle takes
place in the breast of the old man.
Which way to turn? Old tradi-
tio-s, instilled by centuries of serf-
dom and slavery dictate that he
must turn his son over to the "au-
thorities." But the young man is
his own son, smiling, brave and de-
bonair. Eventually, however, the
old man does make choice.
This is the stark story of 1.-TWO

While disagreeing on a few minor
details, l, nevertheless, consider
Comrade MagiPs appraisal of the
play as a whole and of the produc-

serves praise. 1t is noteworthy that
the New York Sun eulogized cat

respect the last word in art. Our

Blue Blouse troupes, of which there

changes frequently, includes songs,

will make it's first appearance in
New York at the Film Arts Cinema

THE New Yorker Volkszeitung. !"
the only German labor daily in
the United States, which for forty
years had been the voice and mill
tant leader of the German-speaking,
class conscious elements in this
country, has become a tabloid sheet.
The size of its pages has been re-
duced to that of the DAILY News"
"The Graphic" and "The Mirror"
This outward transformation was
accompanied by a radical change in
its editorial policy. The "New
Yorker Volkszeitung" was hailed by
its editor Lore, as a paper, "for
which it will be easy to find new
readers. :" In fact, it will be
easy, because this former workers
paper has been reduced to a yellow,
sordid sheet, full of sensations, COM
peting with the most notorious bour-
geois tabloids for readers.
Instead of finding its purpose and
showing the working class the way
to free itself from economic and
ideolocal it caters to the lowest level
of bourgeoisified theology and tells
the workers that they are dumb and
helpless unless they follow the
leadership of political bankrupt of
the type of Lore.
The thousands of class conscious
revolutionary workers who have
read and upheld the New Yorker
Volkszeitung" for half a century.
have not been asked whether they
like such transformation of their
paper. On the contrary, their
voices of protest Lave been stifled
and ignored, and ex-Comrade Lore
even went so far as to act against
the decisions of the Socialist Co.
operative Publishing Association, an
organization of workers that owns
the IN. Y. Volkszeitung," which
ordered public hearing about the
papers situation, ir which all work
ingclass organizations should have
voice.
This shows that Lore is afraid to
stand face to face with the working
class because of his betrayal. The
only excuse that Lore has for his &C
tons is that the changes in his paper
have been made for the papers sake.
And thereby he forgets that a labor
paper exists for the labor movement.

man left wing movement through

There is a tendency in our own
Communist ranks to do as the Sun
did, that is: sing the praises of the
play in such a way as to fool the
workers, asking them to accept a
work that is ideologically feeble or
even reactionary.
I am moved to write this letter
acknowledging the Importance of
the review in the Daily Worker by
Comrade Magil by another reason
also, and this is the fact that the
Daily Worker is our Communist or
gan where a Communist approach
to a matter of such significance to
the Jewish workers is possible. And
this is an achievement that should
make every Communist feel proud.
