Hollywood some time, after journeying

may be that the interests behind Colleen

TT is the implacable intention Of thi.
writer to conduct a war against So
called sound pictures" and par.
ticularly against the theme song
which is the principal by-product
of the type Of photoplay that is not 9
talkie and certainly not silent film.
The sound picture is actually a COM
bination Of the old style and the new,
and 1t presents the worst features OF
both. 1t has wordy subtitles to explain
the action and raucous noises to en-
phsSize it. 1t is sponsored by those pro-
ducerS who were not as quick on the
draw as the Warner boys were, and who
are now firing wildly in all directions in
the hope that stray bullet may chance
10 hit the target Of popular approval.
The purpose Of the theme song Is not
easily defined. 1t is intended, presum-
ably, to interpret the theme" Of the
motion picture to which 1t is attached.
lAnd if any one comes up to me and
eopfesses that he doesn't know just
what the theme" of a motion picture
is. shall be compelled to say to him,
sShakeI)
The theme song is not an entirely
new development, brought into being as
q. result of the current noise era on
the screen. 1t is, indeed, almost as old
as the cinema itself. Look back to the
earliest days Of the Biograph, when the
animated daguerreotype was spoken of
as "Edison's toy" and you will discover
traces of primitive theme song that
went about as follows:

days of experimentation. They failed to
gain any great degree of circulation be-
cause the organists who provided the
symphonic accompaniment in the old
fashioned film parlors couldn't be
bothered learning tune for every pic
ture that came along.
Those organistS played what they
knew, and about the only concession
they ever made to the varying themes
Of photoplays was an occasional altera-
ton of the tempo. A selection such as
''To Wild Rose" could be manipulated
so as to accompany most of the emer-
gencies in Theda Bara vampire drama.
a Bill Hart Western or some travelogue
views Of picturesque canals in old
Bfuges.
The special, made to-order, hand
tDoled theme song may be said to have
been in its infancy before the arrival of
the Movietone. which has made it pos
stble to print the melody on the Aim it
self and to broadcast it through a loud
speaker.
AS ill-luck would have it, with the
invention of the talkie came Ramona"
and with that came the notion that a
sound picture which didn't have a
theme song might just as well crawl

With the Help of the Law.

TRAFFIC cops went contrary to al
the rules and regulations in Los
Angeles recently, causing one Of the
most complicated trafic snarls in
history.
1t all occurred during the filming
of early scenes for Girls Gone Wild, .
featuring Sue Carol and Nick Stuart.
The story calls for "Babs Halworthy,' .
the heroine, to become involved ir a
trafic mixup, and finally get a police
tag for her performance.
With the assistance of real traffic
cops, Lew Seller, the director, produced
a tangle that was so perfect it took
nearly half an hour to unravel it later,
The real off1cers and Seller had prevl-
ously obtained an oficial dispenSation
from Police Chief James Davis, but
motorists who unwittingly became "ex-

squawked, and irate autoists got red

War Department Is
Set for Imperialist
War, Says Report

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The re-
port of the War Department, just
published, describing the work done
this year, stresses the fact that war
preparations have been very rapid.
The development of waterways sys-
tens, says the report, is war meas
ure to provide cheap and efficient
means Of transportation in war
time.
"The nation that hopes to be pre-
pared for future emergencies" de-
clares the war report, must make
certain that its preparations for de-
Tense include plans for the rapid
and efficient transformation of its
peace power into war power"
"War," continues the report, "has
entered the field Of the exact sci
ences, and every advance Of chemis-
try, physics and mechanics de-
mands investigation and adoption"
The document says that the war
machine of American imperialism
is highly efficient, has been mechan-
lied in accordance with the latest
improvement, and is ready for hos
tilities.
Especial stress was laid on Clti-
zen's Military Training Camps as
valuable preparation for imperial
list war purposes.

FORD'S RAISE" is
SPEED-UP DRIVE
More Production With
Less Workers

CONTINUED from Page One)
"The increased production that has
been maintained by the Ford Motor
Co. this year in comparison with
previous years, continued thru the
month of October" 1t then con-
tinues, "Total production of Ford
cars and trucks for the month of
October was 177,483. This repre-
sents an increase of 55,801 over the
record for October, 1928" In the
past it took close to a year to pro-
duce a million cars, while this year
Ford will produce twice that amount
in the same time.
When articles recently appeared
that Ford had fired 10000 workers,
his officials took special pains in
stating that not a single man has
been fired. But some of the state
ments for the past few days, as
usual, contradic5 those of the past.
During March of this year the COM
pany employed about $4,000 men.
TIE official announcement of the
Ford company in the Detroit news
papers this week state that they
have 10000 men on the payroll. In
other words, they admit a decrease
of 10000 workers, altho there has
been an unprecedented increase in
production.
A Trick to Intensity Production.
The new Ford scheme of raising"
wages is a means to intensity ration
alization in the Ford plants, due to
the intense competition with General
Motors and on the international field.
The insignificahce Of the raise can be
seen by the article in the Free Press,
"that while in individual cases it
might not be large increase, in the
aggregate it will amount to con-
siderable sum-" Ford further de-
clares that the increase will be work
ed out on "a percentage basis" This
percentage basis only signifies an
attempt to introduce some of the
bonus schemes already existing in
most of the plants. This is method
whereby mad rush of production
can be further intensified and the
workers even more exploited.
The Ford announcement is part of
a prepared government plan in this
present crisis. 1t is known that the
war department gives material aid to
the aviation section, which is part of
the auto industry. And it is espe-
cially necessary in the auto industry
which is war-industry to eliminate
all hindrances in the war prepare
tions. But the militant workers I'M
der the leadership of the Communist
Party and T. U. U. L. will fight the
Ford naturalization schemes and the
war danger.

LEEDS. England, Dec. 3.-The
congress of the British Communist
Party opened here Saturday. Harry
Pollitt analysed the world situation
and admitted the Right Wing errors
committed by the party since the
General Strike of 1926.
The delegates criticized the pol
itical resolution submitted, declar-
ing that the slogan of the Work
ers' Government" was insufficiently
stressed as the main aim in the
present period.
The party leadership was severely
criticized. Comrade Campbell de-
clared that the set-backs suffered
by the Party were the result of its
failure to recognize the fascist pol
icy of the Trade Union Congress
for what it was, and hence follow
ing policy of non-aggression. The
delegates criticized the insufficient
cooperation given by the Party to
the National Minority Movement.
The congress sent greetings to

Soviet Union, which is defending
with arms the homeland of the

of world imperialism through Chi
