LID. In WINTER CAMPAIGN FOR
THE DEPENDENTS OF PRISONERS
Calls on Workers to Aid Suffering Families of
Militants Jailed by Bosses for Their
Working Class Activities

helpless victims of the ruling class OF
America.
Because Of the overwhelming num-
Der of prosecutions, imprisonments
and deportations going on at this
time as the result of the more mili-
tant activities of the workers in this
period of unemployment, the Inter-
national Labor Defense is faced with
the defense of thousands of workers
and a resultant strain on the finances
raised by the organization, and this
Winter Relief Campaign is instituted
for the express purpose of helping
the families of class war prisoners,
as well as the sending of an occa.
sional dollar to the prisoners them
selves for the purchase of certain
essentials which the rotten prison
regime deprives them of.
Many of the prisoners have large
families and would starve and be
evicted from their homes if the
workers would not contribute to their
support through the International
Labor Defense. A good case in point
is Teddy Jackoski, miner, who is
serving a sentence of 5 to 20 years in
the Ohio State Penitentiary for his
working-class activities in a mine
strike in Harrison County, Ohio.
JackoWski was framed by the mine
operators on a charge of assault
with intent to kill" The United
Mine Workers officials had prom
ised to supply legal defense, but, as
usual with the A. F. of L. officials,
they failed to come to the defense
of the worker. The court rushed the
case through, convicted him and sent
him up for long term. The !. L, D,

while, Jackoski is in prison for the

small children are on the outside,
deprived of their usual support and
would suffer greatly if not for the
monthly allowance sent them by the
workers through their defense or

CLIQUE IN POWER

Feel Crisis

A revolution" led a military clique
In Guatemala has overthrown the
Palma government, according to
United Press dispatches from Guat-
emala City General Manuel 0relian,
commander at Fort hfatanerres, who
led the uprising was named provi-
sional president.
The Palma government was COM
pletely under the domination of the
United Fruit Company. Conditions
of the peasant and working masses
OF Guatemala were growing from bad
to worse. The establishment of the
new milirtay government under Gen.
eral Orelian does not mean any fund
amental change of government in
Guatemala, as all of the officials
and generals were good tools of Wall
Street.
In order to give the appearance OF
''change" Orelian declared that con-
Stitutional guarantees, which had
been revoked by Palma, would be re-
established. Palma had declared mill
tary law in Guatemala, especially
against Communists and labor agit-
ators."
The slump in coffee prices which
comprises 80 per cent of Guatemalas
exports, have made conditions very
bad for the already impoverished
peasants. It was the big slump in
coffee prices that led the way to
the uprising in Brazil.

MAGIC names Of the theater and Of
- theatrical history are to be found
in the list of players who appear in the
new Attila Won Orbok comedy. Every
body's Secret" Many are well known
in this city and some who are compare
lively rev to the local stage bear names
Of families that belong to the old aris-
tocracy of the theater.
Charles H. Croker-King has APP
peared here in a wide variety of parts
during the past 20 years. Before the
time of his American debut he had
played in the important companies in
London for is years, and prior to that
he was a leading member Of what is
perhaps the Oldest amateur acting or
ganization In the world, the oxford
University Dramatic Society. Mr..
Croker-King belongs to an army family,
his father having been a colonel in the
Seaforth Hig1landers. The theatrical
fame of the family rests upon the Shout
ders of Mr.. Croker-King himself. And
1t is a fine measure of fame that he
has gained, since he has played more
than 500 roles, varying from at least
so Shakespearean characters to the
stellar role in Charlot's revue in Lon
don.
Anthony Kemble Cooper, one Of the
youngest members Of the company, is
a descendant Of John Philip Kemble,
whose career in London as an actor
and as manager of Drury Lane Thea
ter marks a distinct period in the an
mails Of the English stage. The great
Sarah Siddons was a member Of this
family, as also was Fanny Kemble,
large part Of whose career Is linked
with the history of the American stage.
The Cooper family Is likewise an old
and honored one in the English theater.

Caught Spirit of Role.

I EVILS AYRES. youth of 20. who
plays Paul, the lead in "All Quiet
on the Western Front" now at the
Rialto, has told his own story Of the
role. Said Ayres:
II am 20 years old. When the World
War broke out was a baby of 4. When
the United States entered the conflict
1 had just started school. Now I have
played the leading role in the greatest
story of the war, All Quiet on the
Western Front made into picture by
Universal.
Until the time I began rehearsing
my part, had never held a rife in my
hands. It's interesting, too, to know
that as boy I can't remember ever
having played war or soldier / had
read only few war stories. 1t puzzled
me sometimes why ! was chosen to play
Paul when war or military glory had
never intrigued me in the slightest. On
first thought 1t would seem the role
should have been given to some one
whom military affairs fascinated.
Now that our picture is completed,
however, 1t has all come to me clearly.
Erich Maria Remarque didn't write of
soldiers as soldiers. He wrote of them
as human beings. Paul wasn't SOL

pleted one of the most difficult tasks
of his career.
In preparing the musical numbers for
Douglas Fairbanks next United Artists
picture, Reaching for the Moon, with
Bebe Daniels, the composer producer
was anxious to avoid haphazard songs.
He Is said to have taken nine months
to write songs that would be part Of
the story and that would help carry
out the plot. He wrote 20 numbers in
all before selecting four that would be
q constructive part Of the picture.
The titles of these songs, which will
not be heard until the Irving Berlin
production is released, are Reaching
for the Moon" Little Things in Life"
ITS Yours" and High Up and Low

written especially TO At the Fairbanks
