AdoIphe Menjou's great talent
for high comedy has never been
displayed to better effect than in
Fashions In Love-" his latest
picture. on the screen at Loew's
Palace.
An all-talker it is, and one OF
the best sophisticated comedies
ever to bounce off the sound

Fay Compton's modulsted English
accent and the goo-goo gurgIes of

she looks well.
Fashions in Love" Is though

In which. we are certain, Leo Dit

It's about q temperamental con-

the flapper music-lovers, the envy
of would-be great lovers and the
despair Of his own self.sacrificing
wife.

Before any serious DEVELOPMENTS.
the pianist's wife and the blondes
husband pay a visit to the cabin,
and c0olly announce they are in
love with each other, and will be
only too glad TO consent to an
exchange OF mates.
This crisis so upsets our dumb
hero that he begins to make tracks
In the right direction.
The play is extremely witty, and
Its entertainment value is helped
out more than little by Menjou's
delightful performance. 1t was a
role built to order for him. He
disclosed q fine, clear voice, even
capable Of singing 'sDelphine," the
theme song; but we are not at all
sure that he really plays the piano
in the picture.
Although Fashions In Love" is,
after all, one OF those plays in

Many Delegates
Workers who have experienced
the brazen terror of the New York
City government in their strikes for
better conditions have already dem
onstrated their confidence in the
Communist Party by electing fra
ternal delegates to the Communist
election conference. The Needle
Trades Workers Industrial Union,
the Independent Shoe Workers
Union, the Cafeteria Workers Union,
bakers locals and numerous other
militant labor organizations will be
well represented, prepared to throw
themselves energetically into the
campaign for the Communist pro-
gram and candidates.
In this years election battle, the
Communist Party will carry on a
relentless struggle especially against
the treachery of the Socialist Party,
which in its every act stands ex-
posed as an enemy of the workers.
This has been most clearly demon
strated in New York by socialist
support of the scab International
Ladies Garment Workers Union, en-
dorsement of the reactionary Hill
man clique in the Amalgamted
clothing Workers Union, and general
open approval of Walkers strike
breaking activities.

on Sunday, where candidates will be
nominated and a program adopted,

ballot.

II is quite possible that in order to
fool the workers and cover up their
shameful treachery the Schlesinger
clique will get the bosses to agree
to an increase of So or SO on the
minimum scale, which means prac-
tically nothing to the workers, since
the vast majority of the workers in
the contracting shops are working
piece-work and after the victorious
strike will surely continue to work
piece-work, most likely at lower
rates. For this reason the contrac-
tors can afford to promise raise
not only of So but even of SIS per
week.
"The fake strike and the treach-
erous settlement will tear off the
mask of the SchIesinger scab
agency, now they have openly con-
coded through President Green that
the task of the union is to organize
a strong association and to drive all
bosses into the association. Their
contention that the independent shops
are the sweatshops of the industry
and that the association shops are
the ones that give the workers union
conditions is such brazen lie that
even the most backward workers
will net be fooled. Is it necessary
to tell the cloakmakers that there
are enough shops in the association
where the workers are compelled to
submit to the most shameful condi-
tions and that, on the contrary,
there are independent shops where
the conditions are more or less de-
cent.
Outright Treachery."
'Neger before was there a prece-
dent of such an outright treachery
as is this fake strike. 1t is the first
time that workers are called out on
strike in order to organize associa-
tons. for the bosses.
But the cloakmakers will not per-
NIT themselves to be used as tools
by the clique, the bosses and the
Forward Socialist agents.
~To defeat their treaeherous plans
the cloakmakers must refrain from
contributing single penny to the
company union. They must im.ae-
diately join the Industrial Union
and together we will destroy the
company union responsible for the
Epresent conditions.
"The cloakmakers must immedi-
ately begin to break the chains
I thrust upon them by the treacher-
| Gus clique and their agents. This
can he accomplished only when the
cloakmakers in mass will join the
Industrial Union. Then we will be
in a position, through our united
forces, to build strong and pow
crful union which will bring back
the union conditions, sold out to the
bosses by the Schlesinger, Dubinsky
scab agency"
