MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay by

Uruguay and the Young Communist
League of Uruguay have issued a
leaflet, to the sailors of the British
fleet, which is coming to these
waters, as an answer to President
Hoover's recent tour of South Amer
lea. The leaflet was recently dis
tributed to a squad of so sailors
who went ashore, from the Cruiser
Durham" now in port.
The sailors pocketed the leaflet,
after reading the headline: Down
with Imperialist War! Turn your
guns against the imperialists!" The
lieutenant in charge, in rage tore up
the leaflet handed to him.
The "Durban" is leaving for trip

Village of Sin" at
Cameo Theat tire

The newest of Russian films to
be released here, "Village of Sin"
will open at the Cameo Theatre for
the week today. The picture has the
unique distinction of having been
directed by woman. Her name is
Olga Preobrazenskaya. She brings
to the cinema a sound theatrical eX-
perience and a thorough schooling
in modern film-production. Madame
Preobrazenskaya was member of
the celebrated Moscow Art Theatre
and later worked with the masters
of the Modernist Theatre, Meierhold
and Tairov. Her first attempt at
direction began in 1916. She later
joined the staff of the State Film
Institute of Moscow, dividing her
time between teaching and produc-
ing.
In her art theories Madame
Preobrazenskaya cleaves to the
practical common sense traditions.
Her credo is expressed in the fol-
lowing few words:
''The methods and principles of
my work are based on the conviction
that every art and particularly the
art of the cinema calculated to ap-
peal to the average person, must
first of all be clear and understand
able. A work of art which i'm
pressed only the chosen few is
either ahead of our time or much be-
hind it. At any rate it is not suited
for the needs of our day. My school
ing at the Moscow Art Theatre as
well as my work in the realm of the
cinema lead me to the conviction
that artistic realism is the only eff
fective method of depicting millieu
and the mode of living of a COM
munity. This method l employed in
the direction of Village of SIM"

FIX new LAW TO

Fake ManeuVers

The fake emergency rent law,
passed on Tuesday by the board Of
aldermen, was yesterday amended
by the board of estimate to make it
even less effective as a protection
for tenants against rapacious land
lords. By this amendment the law
applies only to tenants paying SIS

poorest tenants still nominally pro-
tected, there are thousands of work.
ing class families thruout the city
paying more than SIS a room who
will now be completely at the mercy
Of the landlords.
The amended bill now goes back
again to the board of aldermen.
The amendment was adopted ad-
mittedly as the result of agitation
by powerful group of landlords.
Exploiters Present.
Representatives of chambers Of
commerce, merchants associations,
real estate boards and other exploit
ers' groups appeared yesterday at
the board of estimate and voiced
opposition to the new law. They
are, however, not particularly wor-
ried since the law will protect the
tenants about as much as a cotton
overcoat protects the body from the
cold. Tenants who get rent raises
will have the privilege of hiring
expensive lawyers and proving to
the satisfaction of the landlords
courts that the landlords are de-
manding more than reasonable
return" on their investment.
Polite representatives of various
mild welfare and community or
CARNATIONS were also present to
plead with the capitalist politicians
to pass the bill. The only spokes-
man for the masses of defrauded
working class tenants was Solomon
Harper, of the Harlem Tenants
League. Harper had an alteration
with Mayor Walker and was the
only one to expose the Vaccinations
by which working class tenants have
during the past few years been sys-
tematically cheated by capitalist
politicians.

The Young Workers Develop
a Theatre IN the i. S. S. r.

ertoirc, the theatre has resort to
new dramatic forms, making use Of
methods from all theatrical schools
that may be found suitable. Enor-
nous use is made of music, and, as
the theatre grows, this increases.
In its search for new methods, the
theatre has been the most ardent
supporter of the genuine technical
reconstruction of the theatre Con-
tinuing the experiments of Meyer
hold, the TRAM resorts to various
ways of using light, and makes wide
use of dynamics in scenery, of the
radio, The Termenvcx.
The new theatre naturally de-
mands a new technique from the ac-
tor inasmuch as the center of a play
is no longer the acts of the hero, but
rather situation which forms human
beings, the artist has to help to dis
play and elucidate the situation.
The TRAM has trained up many
talented players for it's boards, cop
ing with the greatest conviction and
determination with this difficult
task.
Actors Work in Factories.
The results achieved by the TRAM
could only have been achieved thanks
to its internal order, all work being
carried on on the principle of true
self-activity. The technical side is
closely bound up with social work,
indeed, the two are indivisible. The
TRAM is a closely-knit Young Com
munist League collective for art
work, in which the producer the
composers, the artists, the dramat-
lists and the leading personages" of
the troupe, are all equally members
and equally responsible.
Another feature of TRAM is its
close connection with industry. Most
of the actors and other TRAM work
ers are also working in factories.
Only 1S persons, the most gifted,
were promoted last year to work
entirely in the theatre.
The Leningrad TRAM occupies an
important place among the Lenin-
grad theatres and it's performances
are "sold out" a month ahead.

IN the spring of 1928, Moscow was
= visited by a troupe of players
from the Leningrad Theatre Of
Young Workers. The performances
given out at that time, and the en-
suing Pan Union Conference on Art
and Youth, aroused wide interest in
the young Leningrad Theatre.
In a very short time the TRAM
as these youthful players call them
selves, and the pioneer in this mat.
ter, had many followers, and soon
there were as many as a hundred
Young Workers Theatres, scattered
throughout the Soviet Union.
What is TRAM? In the words
Of one of its organizers, it is "a
new social formation, combining the
elements of the circle and the school
with those of the theatre and mass
work"
The history of the TRAM is the
history of the difficult and complex
progress from amateur playing at
acting to serious performances,
taking their material from every
day life. This material is used with
a generous creative scope and free
dom. The theatre is not swamped
by isolated facts of little Importance
in themselves, it is no mere coE:ttem-
porary chronicle as is so often the
case with our theatres; it makes
use itself of the facts instead Of
being ridden by them. When cir
cumstances require it the theatre
moves with the times, turing from
one aspect of life to another, pre-
senting for consideration several
ways out" sometimes even offer
ing alternative ends to a play.
Social Significance of TRAM.
Naturally such an approach which
is, by the way, the social signifi-
canoe of TRAM performances, de-
mands special technique and meth
DDS. And the young theatre devel-
ops these methods more and more
with each performance. 1t employs
all theatrical means for the most
vivid and convincing setting of the
questions touched upon. Not limit
ing themselves to the ordinary rep

MATHS doctor gave him an injection
containing morphine, but the cramps
in the feet continued and gradually

Wrong Certificate.
One of the doctors who had been
summoned was the company doc
tor. The workers believe that he
signs death certificates in such a
way as to relieve the company of
embarrassment. The certificate
read: Death from acute endocar-
ditis and acute nephritis." The
company doctor also arranged for
an autopsy and obtained the SER
vices Of an out-of-town physician
who professed to find that the
endocarditis had had it's beginning
some time previously.
The widow applied for workmen's
compensation and took the case be-
fore the Workmen's Compensation
Board; but the board decided against
her. Matt Shamich, it ruled, had not
died of an "injury or accident sus-
tanned while at work."
The case is closed. Mrs. Shamich
has applied for mothers pension
and has been told she will go on
the list behind the others, and may
expect something in a year and a
half. She has debts of $500. The
