A. F. of L. Rank and File Want
To Aid.
Engdahl gave it as his opinion
that the time is opportrune to raise
the Gastonia case in every local
union of the American Federation
of Labor. The membership, facing
increasing wage cuts, the blood
sapping speed-up, growing unem-
ployment, are anxious to listen to
the lessons of Gastonia. 1t must be
carried to them.
Engdahl spoke at the Interna-
tional Youth Day Celebration in
Philadelphia, stressing the impor-
lance of organizing Youth Confer
ences everywhere in support of the
Gastonia Joint Defense and Relief
Campaign. He also urged the
Pioneers to become more active.
The Pittsburgh l. L. D. organiza-
ton is broadening out under the de-
mands of the Gastonia Campaign,
as well as the numerous local cases,
which are serious.
Auto Workers Active.
Many auto workers were present
at the /. L. d. delegate meeting at
Detroit, addressed by Engdahl, who
also spoke on Gastonia at the Tenth
Anniversary Celebration of the
Communist Party. Here as else
where, he stressed the necessity of
organizing the /. L. D. in the shops
and factories, with special attention
to women workers.
In all the centers visited there is
increasing activity among the Negro
workers. This was especially en-
couraging in the steel mills Of the
Gary and Buffalo districts.
"The opportunity is clearly here"
declares Engdahl, ITO build the In
ternational Labor Defense into the

quired, not only to defend our pris-
oners in Gastonia, but the prisoners

ALL ABOUT THIS

CALL LOVE

Monday night the NATIONAL The
ater Players will be In their fifth
successive season in the old e
Street playhouse, the National, un-
der the management of S. K. Coch-
ran. AS the first offering the
players will present Edwin Burke's
comedy, This Thing Called Love-"
A hit in New York from the
very outset, This Thing Called
Love" is still enjoying an extern
sive run in Chicago. The National
Theater Players, through a friend
ship of their management with the
New York producers, enjoy the,
distinction of being the first roper
tOire company to have the privi.
lege of playing this play in stock.
It's theme has to do with a young
girl who, seeing her sisters mar
riage go on the rocks, decides that
there will be no such blight in her
life. SO she makes an arrange
ment with the man who proposes
to her that would obliterate all
lOVe.makfng. Human nature, be-
ing what it is, however, the two
fall in love-and then the trouble
begins.
Edwin Burke, before he wrote
his first full-length play, This
Thing Called Love-" was for many
years the leading contributor Of
one-act sketches to the vaudeville
stage. It was there he learned the
technique of condensation, and it
claimed for him that this play
contains more natural comedy
situations than any American
work that has graced the boards
in the past decade. It was built
to order for the talents of the Ma
tional Theater Players, who, in
this opening number, present a
company augmented by Miss Mary
Newton. leading lady, and Wilfred
I4ytell, leading man, along with a
new fngenue, Miss Nancy Baker,
and a new juvenile, Freddy Sher-
man, all of whom have scored
huge s.. cesses in other cities.

AMATEUR

Fannie Brice, worlds foremost
coincidence, and the star Of the
Warner Brothers Vitaphone pro-
duction, 'My Man." was born on
New York's East Side, though
when she was very young her
parents moved to Newark, New
Jersey, and it was here that
she had her early schooling. The
Warner Brothers Vitaphone pro-
duction my Man" is now show
ing at the Metropolitan Theater.
Her father, Charles Borach, was
French, and her mother, Rose
Borach (nee Stern) was Hun
garian. 1t was many years
later, when Fannie had gone on
the stage, that she changed her
last name to "Brice," after John
Brice, an old friend of the family.
The Borach family lived in
Newark until Fannie was IL
years old, and then moved to
BROOKLYN. Here the little girl
formed the acquaintance of other
children in the neighborhood, and
formed little troupe which did
much singing in neighbor's yards.
Some OF these young friends
were about to appear at an am
ateur night performance at
Keeney's Theater in Brooklyn,
and through them Fannie also
took part, in the programS-her
first stage appearance. Her sing
ing made such a pronounced hit
that she was awarded the first
prize that night, and from that
time onward she was firm in her
resolve to succeed on the stage.
For sometime, however, it was
necessary to confine her efforcs
to amateur nights at various
Brooklyn theaters.
This continued after she had
moved with her family across the
river to New York city, and she
eventually secured a position as a
chorus girl in Hurtig and Sea.
