whom have long blushed unseen,
who proved themselves entertainers
of altogether excellent caliber. Apart
from an overdose of heart-wringing
tenors. whose hands clutched fever
ishly the vacant air, this was
show of which all concerned could
be justly proud.
There were neo-Rnth Fittings,
Charlie Chaplins, Kitty Doners,
lithesome ladies who threw them
selves carelessly out Of joint, and
such energetic dance steps as would
make many a professional thespian
CRY with envy. Particularly to be
recommended was the invtgorating
song and dance of Tereta Schaeher,
the manner in which Nadine
BrownfeId leaned against the pros
cenium, a la Etting, and poured
out her heart over Love Is LAKE,
That" the stepping" Of Kearney,
Long and Belt, curiously rennls-
cent of the famed Slate brothers;
the mimieking by Julian Hall, VINO
could get Charlie Chaplin's pay any
day; the rolling around OF Eleanor
ludlow and the long line OF grace
full girls who started the show with
a snap and missed step only when
II didn't matter.
All this was introduced with Splen-
did dignity by AL Mitchell, who
watched over his flock with care, and
in the ofIing could be seen Director
General Harry Crull smiling with
pride and the coaches, Helen Kear-
new and Margaret Callahan, racked
with satisfaction. This was one Of
those things that couldn't help
pleasing all concerned. Those taking
part in one capacity or another, be-
sides the above mentioned, were the
Three Yates Sisters, Romeo Guaraldi.
Marguerite Licarfone, Bobby Pond,
Bernice Stevens there's a real wfais-
tier). Tony La NaSa, Mulroe and
Sanger, Dorothy Reddish, Nathan
Cohen. Mildred Cherot, Harlan RAN
dall-and the line girls, who threw
their legs into space so glibly and
got them back again Just as glibly:
Shirley Rose, Helen Beard, Betty
Lou perron, Janet Helbig, RoSelien
Jarvis, Helene Permit, Lillian Fay,
Barbara Rietz, Dorothy Pierce, Bne-
lab Hunter, Eleanor Gray and Viz
ginia Macornber.
Another stage attraction this week
are the Hollywood Collegians, who
need no words Of introduction as to
their merit watch for that lighting
effect, and Dorothy Croker,
dancer who spends all her time on
her left foot.
Then there is a film, almost for
gotten in the excitement, something
called THE Brat" which Is mildly
amusing, starts with bang and
then takes q speedy nose dive. Sally
O'Neil is a young ''toughy," who Is
taken over by novelist ALLAN Dine
hart for the purpose Of copy"
Miss o'Neil Is cunning and coy, but
overdoes the slang The best moment
comes when she tights Virginia

Lights" oh, how different when she

UNEMPLOYMENT AND THE
YOUNG WORKERS

tain youth demands and carry on special youth
activities (socals, sports) That is one OF the
reasons why when young worker joins the
Unemployed Council he does not remain in there.
We must always bear in mind that while hay
ing demonstrations and Hunger Marches, the
main thing is to draw the young workers into
the Unemployed Councils. When they are drawn
In and the executive committee elected, there
must be at, least three young workers on the
executive committee who will constitute the Youth
Committee of the Unemployed Council. The
Youth Committee under the guidance and di
fection of the executive committee of the I'm
employed Council must develop youth activities,
call special meetings Of unemployed young work
ers arrange special demonstrations of the I'M
employed young workers and unemployed work
ers children around the special youth demands.
etc AT the same time the Youth Committee is
to arrange social and sports activity as arrang-
ing parties affairs, dances, sport teams, etc.
Signature Campaign for the Insurance Bill.
The campaign for the collection of signatures
fer the Unemployment Insurance Bill has not
been developed in a real mass form especially
among the young workers. 1t was primarily
limited to the Y.CL and our closest sympa
thizers In the few weeks left this campaign
must be widened and broadened out so it will
reach tens of thousands of young workers 1t
must be taken into the shops in front of fac
tory. gates, at employment agencies at bread
lines, flop house to flop house. canYassng in
youth organizations, into the YMCA, National
Guard. etc.
1t must become the demand of thousands and
thousands of unemployed young workers. We
must approach the youth organizations especially
the Labor Sports Union clubs to open their club
rooms campaign quarters to collect signatures.
They should have a big sign outside of their
headquarters announcing the drive, etc.
Election of Delegates to Washington
In the, election of delegates to Washington TO
present the demands of the unemployed to the
congress, the young workers must he drawn into
the. elections. The districts shall elect youth
delegates and especially the large districts as
Net York. Philadelphia Boston, Chicago. De-
troit Buffalo. Cleveland. Minnesota etc. Special
mass meetings of young unemployed workers
must BE- called in all districts to endorse the
youth delegates who will go to Washington to
represent especially the needs of the young
Workers.
Develop the campaign for signatures
Mobilize the young workers for the Unem-
ployment Insurance Bill.
Build the Unemployed Councils and its Youth
Committees,
