 Grant MitchclIs company, which is touring the country with a roper toire of revivals Of popular comedies, presents the farce comedy by John Emerson and Anita I.oos in an up roarious fashion. Mir.

"Whcn he comes into the room you feel that someone has just gone out" "But his business partner, Hen " Simmons. decides that Chester shall wed the only daughter of the Simmons family. The men fake up a story about Chester havcing lurid past and to reinforce their claims, they buy the photograph of q famous motion picture star. inscribe an am OrOus message on the back and place il on the floor, where Mrs. Simmons, q romantic dreamer finds it. Imme- diately Chester becomes the talk of the town. His romance with Miss Simmons buds. But complications ensue when the actress, in the flesh, comes to the local thcater. She learns of the Use of her namc. her tianCe also learns of if, and they visit the Simmons homo where the cow cring and t;mid Chester is found. His romance is about to go on the rocks when a twist of fate saves it from destruction.

Mrs. Mary Gray, S5, Recalls City Without Catholic Church

One of the last of that stock of l Catholic people who in the early his- tory of New Britain made many sac ritices for her religion is dying, bue she is happy as she looks back over many years and remembers the da ys
 of the early history of this city.
 Mrs. Mary Gray, S5 years of aga, of 3S5 Chestnut street, attended serv- ices when there was no church build

 day. St. Mary's parish accommodat. ed Catholics from New Britain anI nearby towns and villages. There were 100 parishioners.
 Mrs. Gray was a member of St. f Mary's parish when the building on Myrtle street was being used an l 1 later when the large cdifice on Main street was constructed. When
 St. joseph's parish was Set off she lived in that territory. When the 1 Church of St, John the Evangelist was founded she became a member of that parish on account of being i in that territory.

The question of the general crisis
Icf capitalism and the question of the
capitalist sterilization will not be
settled in connection with this or
that isolated victory or isolated de-
feat of the proletariat, but in con-
nection with whole series of con-
ditions in which a partial victory or
a partial defeat of the proletariat
cannot play the final role. Whoever
connects the question of the stabili-
cation of capitalism, even when it
only takes the character of an epis-
ode, with isolated victories" of the
bourgeoisie or defeats of the prole-
tariat, replaces a serious, Marxist
economic analysis of the world situa-
ton by the policy of impressionism.
The temporary defeat of the Chi
nese workers and peasants was a
heavy blow to the whole information
al working class movement, and no
less serious was the defeat of the
British proletariat brought about by
the betrayal of the General Strike.
But the victory" of the bourgeoisie
could only be of an extremely rela-
tive and temporary character, be-
cause the bourgeoisie is a dying class
doomed to decline by history. It
would have been very different. if
the workers in Great Britain or the
workers and peasants in China had
won the victory, for then such vic
tory would have radically changed
I the face of the world.
Such victories would have been the
prelude to a final victory of the
working class a an inter; -tional
scale, for the proletariat is the in
evitable victor in the class struggle
with the bourgeoisie. How is it pos
sible not to realize this fundamental
difference in estimating the defeat Of
the workers in Great Britain and of
the workers and peasants in Chinal
/ Why is it necessary to glorify the
significance of the victory" of the
bourgeoisie in this way, if not to
exaggerate the consolidation of CAPT
talist sterilization? The fact which
our revisionists ignore, the fact that
the British General Strike and the
Chinese Revolution promoted the de-
moralization of capitalism, is con-
firmed by the consequences which
these events had for the education OF
the proletarian masses.
Are the prospects of an interna-
tional revolution after the British
General Strike and the Chinese Revo-
luton greater despite the defeats OF
lesser in consequence of them? Have
the working masses in China become
more conscious and stronger in re-
volutionary sense, have they attained
a firmer discipline, have they APP
preached nearer to the slogan of the
formation of Soviets after the ex-
periences of the National Revolution
and its Kuomintang period, than was
the case in 1924-25?
Has our young Chinese Communist
Party become more experienced, has
it developed from a group of intel
lectuals strongly under the influence
of Sun Yat-senism into an illegal
workers party tried in the struggle
and rich in the experience of civil
war? These factors of a subjective
revolutionary character must also
play a role in, the estimation of the
capitalist sterilization.

followed to its inevitable conclusion,

STAUNTONN NINE

Having been denied their private
little championship squabble with
Tech by the weather man yesterday
means nothing except an added
breathing spell to Coach Guyon's

the Lincoln Parkers clash with the
strong Staunton Military Academy
nine at Clark Griffith Stadium at
2:30 o'clock.
Playing shortstop on the visiting
team Is G. Calvin Griffith, jr.,
adopted son of the Washington
American League club owner. The
younger Griffith has played stellar
role in the success Of the Staunton
team all year and is expected to be
right at home on the big league dia-
mond. While out Of school during
summer vacations the lad used to
take advantage of every opp ortunity
to practice with the Griffmen ard
picked up many pointers and mucn
skill.
A pitcher who Is reputed to
have big league scouts looking
him over is another season Thy
the visitors are strong. Advises
reaching Washington as to ms
ability reveal that he Is whale
of a yOungster physically too,
standing feet 2 inches and
weighing 200 pounds. A fast
ball is his chief asset.
The Eastern nine takes the field
unawed by the presence of this So
called pitching marvel. Fast ball
pitching is just to the liking of sew
eral of Coach Guyons prominent
batters and the faster they come the
better they like 'em.
