By CYRIL BRIGGS

hMONG the rank and file membership of the
- Universal Negro Improvement Association
are some of the most militant Negro workers.
These workers. grooming under the savage
exploitation and racial degradation of the i'm
perialist system, joined the Garvey movement
under the illusion that the leadership of the
U.N.I.A. intended an aggressive struggle
against imperialism and its oppression of the
Negro peoples of the world.
They are discovering instead that under
cover of struggle-phrases the Garvey leader
ship is increasingly collaborating with the CAPT
talist enemies of the Negro masses. This was
becoming clear to many of these militant work
ers even before the 1929 convention of the
U.N.IA. and " as further confirmed by the op-
position of this treacherous leadership to hav-
ing the convention go on record against i'm
perialism. Many hundreds of these workers
were turning to the Communist Party and
its revolutionary program for the national lib
Grafton struggle even before Marcus Garvey
so completely unmasked himself, in his "Black-
man" of June %, as serve defender of the
very imperialst system which murders and
enslaves the Negro people And as it is in
evitable that the Carney leadership will more
and more expose its treachery and it's futility
as the Negro masses, in the colonial and in the
imperialist countries, move forward into strug-
gle against their exploiters, so it is inevitable
that the miitants in the Garvey movement will
increasingly turn to the Communist Party as
the only organization of revolutionary struggle
against the imperialist enemy.
1t is in an effort to forestafl and delay this
development that the Negro World, Garvey's
organ in America, attacks the Communist
Party and it's leadership of Negro and white
workers and peddles the cheap ISLANDERS of the
Fish Committee that the Negro workers in

Speaking of Mad Elephants.

4 MAD elephant is no pleasant Gus
"A toner to encounter, even when you
are armed with an elephant gun.
Capt Daniel Swayne, who with Sir
Hubert Winstead, F. r. s., Of London,
was in Africa making the picture In
gagi," now at R-K-O Keith's, had an
experience with pachyderm that al
most cost him his life.
A herd Of elephants had been grazing
In the vicinity and took alarm when the
safari encamped by river In the neigh
borhood of the Kilmanjaro foothills.
They were evidently migrating and
heading for the mountains, not to re-
turn until later rain. In order to get
pictures of the herd, the cameraman
set UP his camera Just off the track the
elephants seemed to be following. Capt.
Swayne and Sir Hubert were standing
by in concealment, well armed. The
elephants passed and Ed Joyce ground.
Suddenly one of the biggest Of the great
beasts turned and headed directly for
the camera. Ed stood his ground to
the last moment and then fed, dragging
his heavy equipment with him. The
elephant came on at a wild rate. Had
not both elephant guns spoken at once
the camera and its operator might both
have been crushed. AS it was the big
elephant dropped, shot through the
heart.

Critics Rouse Tibbett.

nECRYING the fact that since 1.-THE
Rogue Song" musical critics have
labeled his acting as "smacking Of Hol-
lywoodism," while praising his voice,
Lawrence Tibbett, star Of the screen
as well as Of grand opera, has given
vent to what seems like just indignation.
1.-THE critics in New York." said Mr..
days ago, couldn't wait to get me back
on the stage of the Metropolitan to
complain Of what hadn't been COM
planned of much before, namely, that I
acted more like O movie star than AN
opera star. It seems incredible that
there are people who believe that the
metamorphosis Of a singer from the
opera stage to the screen means in1me-
diately that he has degraded his art
and shattered their ideals.
"In Europe 1t is quite different. Take
Germany, for instance. In that country
o singer is allowed-and wants-to ap-
pear In the music halls, the theater. on
the screen or in vaudeville, and when
he returns to the opera he Is not
damned as having departed from the
straight and narrow.
There 1t Is the unwritten law that
an artist Is an artist, no matter In what
particular field he happens TO want to
present himself. Over here some people
seem to think that straddling both the
talkies and the opera is like leading a
double life-one Of them best hidden.
"Just why taking fling before the
screen should mean that at once you
should be looked upon as having done
something decidedly slow-brow' Is hard
to understand. Harder yet is it to I'M
derstand that one should have been
able to change ones acting tactics over
night"
Mr.. Tibbett Is a great adnirer Of the
talkies. Particularly Is he interested in
the mechanical devices used. In fact,
it was he who suggested the placing Of
the microphone at a distance during
the recording Of 1.-THE Rogue Sons"
which was responsible for the unusually
clear way in which his voice came from
the screen.
As for the periodically execrated
theme song" the distinguished BARI
tone has considerable to suggest.

Wagner, and as such Is O perfectly log

Joan BENNETT could hardly escape

Her father, Richard Bennett, Is one
Of the distinguished figures of the
American stage. Her mother, the for
mer Adrienne Morrison, was q stage
favorite before she gave up q career for
domestic life. Her elder sisters, Con-
stance and Barbara, both have made
names for themselves on both stage and

Consequently, when Joan, youngest of

stage production Of "Jarnegan," Jim

Joan was born at the Bennett estate
in Palisades, N. j. She began her edu-
cation ut st. -MaSSarets boarding school,
in Waterbury, Conn.,, later going to

She celebrated her eighteenth year
by playing the ingenue lead in "Jarne-

in addition to being dressed In the ira
ditional uniform designed by Michel
angelo, is now wearing helmets and
carrying halberts which actually date
from the period Of the Robert Brown
ing story-1698.
Mr.. Hampden purchased them at sale
Of the medieval armor and implements
Of war belonging to the Archduke Eugen
Of Austria, and which long reposed in
the Fortress Hohenweren In the Aus
trian Tyrol. Mr.. Hampden was one of
the most spirited bidders at the auction
at the Anderson Galleries, New York,
buying in all IS pieces, including, in
addition to the Italian helmets and
halberts, cabasset helmets, swords,
spears, partisans, armored neck and
shoulder pieces. gorgets and other ap-
purtenances OF war, all Of which are
now being used In his Shakespearean
and other productions instead Of the

direct, swiftly moving, play to meet the
demand Of present-day audiences.
"Richelieu" will be repeated by Mr.:
Hampden on Tuesday, wednesday ana
Friday nights.
Thursday and Saturday nights Mr..
Harnpden will play "Caponsacchi." This
play. based upon Robert Brownings
poem Of 1.-THE Ring and the Book" also
was written by Arthur Goodrich, IN
collaboration with Rose A. Palmer, ana
especially for Walter Hampden. Briefly,
its plot concerns Pompilia, daughter OF
a wealthy bourgeois family, who, when
Is years of age, was forced by her
mother into q loveleSS marriage with
cruel and impoverished Count Guido, VINO
wanted her for her money alone -Four
years later in Arezzo, Pompilia met a
young priest, Guiseppi Caponsacch1,
who took pity upon her plight and at
tempted to save her from Guido. The
husband tried to compromise Pompilia
with Caponsacchi so that he might be
justified in killing her. In the end he
did kill her and her parents, too, and
entered q plea Of Justification because
Of Pompilia's supposed relations with
Caponsacchi. The play begins with the
murder trial, dramatically unfolding the
evidence in q series Of highly colorful
picturesque, romantic and tragic, yet
not without much good comedy.
Mr.. Hampden will present his
memorable Hamlet" at a single per-

Shakespeare than any other actor to-
day. scenes are played which have
been omitted from performances for
so long that persons whose acquaintance
with the drama Is mainly through the
stage versions have forgotten that they
existed. Mr.. Hampden restored these
scenes because they really are necessary
if the story of the play Is to be consistent
and coherent and the motivation clear.
Yet these reservations do not materially
lengthen the playing time Of the drama,
so skillfully are they inserted into the
action.
Mr.. Hampden brings his full and
complete scenic equipment, costumes
and accessories, designed by the noted
architect-stage designer, Claude Brag-
