New Belgian Coloratura
Comes Here Next Season

THE musical season Of 1930-3l will
L offer Washington a number of out

Clare Clairbert, coloratura soprano of
the Theatre de la Monnaie in Brussels.
She will sing at Constitution Hall late
in November as one of the attractions
OF Mrs. Wilson Greene's Saturday eve
ming concert series there.
Nine Clairbert is the much discussed
mystery soprano" whose name has
been concealed for the past year under
Charles L. Wagner, the American i'm
presario, who promises American audi

captivating star of the Belgian concert
and operate stage.
Nine. Clairbert is scheduled to begin
an American tour in California early
in September. This will bring her to
Washington two days after Thanksgiv-
ing. She has been signed by Mr.. Wag-
ner under a 10-year contract. Mrs.
Wilson Greene has obtained the privi-
lege of presenting this singer exclu-
sively in the Capital. Nine. Clairbert
is an immense favorite in Brussels and
throughout Europe.
For five years she has been the lead
ing soprano of the Theater de la Mon
male in Brussels, that theater of Won
derful memories of Melba, Nordica,
Eames and Calve, and she has sung
once in joint recital abroad with John
Charles Thomas, the American bari
tone, who is enthusiastic over her Amer
lean tour.
Nine. Clairbert is said to resemble
Ina Claire. She is % years old, is an
accomplished musician and does not
smoke. She plays both harp and piano.
She is said to speak English beautifully.

anceS in opera are described as aris-
tocratic in a high degree.

The building is one of the most beau
full opera houses in the world, many
place it above the Paris opera. 1t was
built between the years 1861-1S69 and
was designed by Edward Van der Null
and A. Won Siccardsburg. 1t Is in the
early renaissance style and is very
delicate and refined in detail. 1t has
a splendid setting, facing the open ring
close to the imperial palace.
The important feature of the facade
is the beautiful loggia, the ceiling of
which is richly decorted in color by
Schwince (sceneS from THE Magic
Flute"D and bronze figures of heroism,
tragedy, fantasy, comedy and love, by
Haknel The winged horses above the
loggia also are by him. The building

Mulrooney-A Dumb Act

We spotted it with the aid of friend of
Red Sparks, who brought US in an article by
Joseph McGoldrick of the Columbia University,
which was printed in the National Municipal
Review" of June, 1880.
Evidently written just as Glorious Grover
retired, with all the Wanamaker clerks he had
kept on both the police and the Wanamaker
payrolls ever since he was put in to keep the
police from finding who killed Rothstein.
There are many choice spots in the article
about Whalen, but we select only this one to
show that Foster was correct when he called
Whalen coward. Bullies are always cow
ards. Godrick says of Whalen:
"Strong-a arm methods appealed to him.
He urged the liberal use of the night-stck.
He tolerated the third degree participated
in it, even boosted of it. In his busy
rounds Of informal talks he frequently
chuckled over such refnements as the put
ting of an communicative prisoner in
cold room in mid-winter without clothing to
loosen his tongue"
Goldrick goes on, making hash of Whalens
lust for publicity, says that Whalen's success
sor was different, and goes on:
las friend of the mayors told the
Times reporter: The mayor had to find
man who was tonPue. tied You can't rave
banjo act followed by aso;her banjo-act.
You have to have dumb act, acrobats, dogs
or jugglers.'"
Is From which it seems certain that Mulrooney
is dumb act" But whether an acrobat,
dog or a juggler is the question. However,
from the way he made the Civil Liberties
Union jump through the hoop of 'investiga-
ton" of the August clubbings, couldn't "iden-
tify" his own cops, and kept dozen different
lies in the air at once with one hard. we Judge
he must be ell three rolled into one.

We wonder whether that chap D'Olier, who
was with the Tammany Queens sewer grafters
headed by Connolly, was listed in the %.
D'Olier got cold feet, if you don't know it, and
and was not "going along"
So day he was found laid out with

Article 9.

NNE of the most important groups and the
A|most oppressed and exploited section of
the working class is the Negro worker JIM
crowed in the A. +. of L. and in the South
by law and terrorism and in the north, although
to a lesser degree, Jim crowed without the
formality of law. Ruled by Lynch law and
mob violence, given the worst and dirtiest
and cheapest kind of jobs, because of this OPP
preston and discrimination they are the most
militant of fighters and potential revolution
lists. Strike struggles in any basic industry
that does not draw in the Negro workers into
struggle and leadership is doomed to defeat.
This does not mean the mere inclusion of
certain percentage of Negroes on the strike
committee but struggle for the demands
of the Negro worker. The raising of the
slogan of Full Social and Political Equality
and Self Determination not merely in an alb
stract propaganda manner but in direct con-
nection with the strike struggle demands.
The struggle for social equality. is not mere
words but must be put into practice. In the
preparations for strikes and in strike strug
giles white chauvinism as well as the law of
segregation has to be smashed, in the North
as we'll as in the South. Strike struggles in
the South carried with it the demand for the
repeal of all Jim Crow laws, and the actual
smashing of these laws in the course of the

groes are barred by law, the organizing of
defense corps to defend the Negro workers
against bourgeois mob violences. No agree

In the coal fields in Illinois, for example,
where on the surface the Negro is equal
cording to law there are mining towns which
bar the Negro, even going so far as to put
up signs at the boundaries of the town "No
Negroes or dogs allowed"
Every town in the North has its area of
segregation. The vast majorities of hotels,
restaurants, and apartment buildings that do
not specially cater to the Negro trade bar
the Negroes. Propaganda against this dis
elimination must be turned into action.
In the coal fields, or in any other industry
in the preparation for and in the course of
the struggles these determinations have to be
broken. The main responsibility for this task
rests with the white workers, especially the
revolutionary section. Of course this does not

Revolts Are Like That!
BY JORGE

But not a proietarian rev0lgticf9!
We're speaking about the revolt in Argen-
tina, run by the big bourgeoisie. The N. Y.
World on Monday yielded the following tIdbt:
Several men raided the treasury depart
ment of the State Railway, When they reached
the moment to allot the loot, they had shoot
ing affray of their own"
Monday afternoon the Post had headline:
"Argentine Revolt Completed; Reds jailed"
That, to a boss paper is the proper 1nsh OF
a revolt: "Reds Jailed"
But it wasn't finished. The same night the
papers screamed: "Warships lombard Buenu-
Aires in New Revolt"
Then Tuesday they dished out the following,
which indicated that it was all a cock-eyed
mistake or that somebody was lying:
Some infantry were marching, as infantry
does, y'know, but toward the government
house" And a confused" officer "mistooll
them" for rebels and had them shot at. In
fantry has a dislike to being shot at and
returned the fire" we were told.
Then just to liven things up some artillery
"opened fire on the post office" Probably
determined to lick all the postage stamps,
To help keep the game going-"occupants
of an armory in the center of the city opened
fire on passersby with machine guns"
This annoyed the passersby, and just for fun
they set the building fire
And-"unable to distinguish friend from
foe, citizens attacked each other"
Then-O, la, lathe gun shop owners
opened their doors, passing out ammunition
and saying Defend yourself!'" And every
body did.
"Small boys appeared in the streets waving
long shotguns and rifles and revolvers."
A group of men "who probably did not
know whether they were attacking or defend
ing the government" seized gun shop and
fired on everybody in sight until government
forces brought artillery, shattered the front
of the building which caught fire"
At the end of such a perfect day, the
Uriburu government said that "the capital is
tranquil" but seven were killed and Sc wound
ed by accident" That the "whole nation as
one man supports the government" but that
somebody was going to be shot for trying 10
question its stability
What laugh the II ssian WORKERS rL,,
get out Of The 1nws from the countrl Is where
capitalism is "firnly -, bilized"!
