Good Audiences As Important As
Good Pictures

-
Good audiences are as important
as good pictures. This is the pro-
nouncement of John M. Stahl,
famous as a producer Of domestic
problem dramas, and director Of
Seed" the Universal production
which comes to the Oxford Sunday
and Monday, with a cast headed
by John Boles, Genevieve Tobin
and Lois Wilson.
@"By this" explains Stahl, "I
mean suitable audiences, composed
to great extent Of people who
are more or less familiar with the
environment and subject matter
treated on the screen.
Since one Of the principal aims
of motion picture Is to present
its story with such fidelity that
each member of the audience i'm
agines himself actually taking an
active part in its incidents, I be-
lieve that the picture dealing with
the problems Of the home is the
one which will hold the most uni
versal appeal. The so-called draw
ing room plays of sophistication.
or those films which deal with I'M
accustomed environments, cannot
get under the skin of the average
theatre-goer, or tug at his heart
strings as can the homely stories
which attack problems with which
he is perfectly familiar.
Seed" deals with the love tangle
involving a man and his wife,
parents of five children, and an
other woman, former sweetheart
Of the man, and the story sheds
new light on the age-old problem
of the eternal triangle"
In addition to Boles, Miss Tobin
and Miss Wilson the cast of "Seed"
includes Raymond Hackett, ZaSu
Pitts, Betty Davis, Francis Dade
and Richard Tucker.

Hartford Jobless Duped With Fake AID

I was wondering what was coming
next. He produced a piece OF chalk
and blackboard.
How many men have earned $40
week during the last six months?"
he asked.
-Four men replied and he put that
down on the blackboard. Six said
that they earned $50 and a few
claimed that they earned from $40
to $25. He then did problem on
the board which showed that we
averaged ST a piece.
The faker then turned to the
crowd and said: 'fYou men ought to
be ashamed of yourselves. If there
is a man here who will not take up
craftsmanship let him get right out
of this room" He unlocked the door
and all left the room but four.
Once in the hall the crowd OF
unemployed gave him the razz. The
agent had a large supply of old
junk, novelties, that nobody wanted
to buy even if they had the money
to pay for it. Such takers would be
out of luck in the Soviet Union.

Every one of the 1000 cities In
the United States covered by the
Daily Worker could maintain a
Daily Worker Club. This is not
asking too much. If every comrade
in these cities would get together
small group of five or more work
ers and sympathiZerS Of the Daily,
elect a secretary and committee
of two or three, hold regular weekly
or semi-weekly meetings, with
simple entertainment and much
discussion of the Daily, it would
be possible in a very short while to
number huge army of workers
organized into clubs for the defense
and building of the Daily.
Let the workers do the talking
The comrades should not lecture
them; it is enough to tell them
briefly what it's all about and then
let them have the floor for hot dis
cussion as long as they want. While
it is still warm, meetings car be held
in the open-naking sure. Of course,
to advertise the meeting all over the
city. All work in the club must be
voluntary; don't force the progress
of the club, either; let it grow
slowly and naturally as a social get
together with a lot of fun as well as
talk. Later, as the club grows, it
can change its policy in accordance
with its growth.

Districts! Sections! Units!
Agents. Red Builders! Worker
Correspondents. The Daily Worker
Club offers a great opportunity of
making the Daily a mass paper.
without the support Of thousand.
of workers and sympathizers of the
Daily circling around a voluntary
organization, criticiZing, comment
ing and exchanging ideas with the
editorial and business departments
of the Daily Worker, the Daily
growth must be stunted.
The workers themselves want these
clubs. They want to know what
others think about the paper; they
want to talk, read discuss. The Daily
Worker Club will fulfill this need and
more. 1t is up to the functionaries
in the districts, sections and units to
build up these mass voluntary groups.
This can and must be done. Call

while followers of Ramsay Mac
Donald, may yet find it expedient
and proper to assert that he does
not yield to Mr. Snowden in his
love for Britain and in his desire to
preserve his country as a going
concern and as an agency for
building socialism. 1t is by identi-
flying the interests of socialism with
the interests of the German people
that the German Socialists have
found it practicable to accept sa-
crifices as heavy as those against
which British Labor is now pro-
testing-formally."
The correspondent Of the Times
understands that the policy of Mac
Donald and of Henderson is the same
traitor policy that has been pursued
by the Socialists in Germany. Mis-
leaders, traitors, whose task for the
capitalist class is to make possible
the saving of the capitalist system
thru the starvation of the millions Of
the working masses. Like the Ger
man Socialists, the MacDonalds and
Hendersons will not stop at mislead-
ership in their attack on the work.

they are ready to crush the growing

ing into 1892"
Hill uses the past experience of
the present crisis as an indication of
what the working class can expect in
the coming months. He exposes in
the following that the Hoover stand
against wage-cuts" was nothing but a
hypocritical lie to the working class
while the capitalist class continued
to increase the number Of wage-cuts
every month.
"Since the first of June we have
recorded a total of 937 wage-cuts
spread across fifty-two industries in
the United States and Canada"
Despite President Hoover's stand
against wage reductions, these
cuts have been increasing in num-
Der each month"
The program Of the capitalist class
is to spread these slaShes again and
again to every worker in the next
several months. The official organ
of the railroads states it in unmis-
takeable terms and Hill, a spokes-
man for Wall Street, adds clearly
that the attack is not going to be
confined to the railway workers, but
is to spread to every worker in the
country if the capitalist class can
do it.
Against this attack the workers of
the United States must build their
defenses. Prepare to fight against
wage-cuts. Organize to strike against
wage-cuts. Prevent the bosses from
throwing this additional burden on
the working masses in their attempts
to save their profits in the present
crisis. Join the revolutionary unions
and leagues of the Trade Union Unity
Unity League, Organize to strike
against the nationwide war of the
bosses against the workers. :
