JOHN GILBERT ESCAPES FROM
SEALED TANK In NEW FILM

There are many large and impress
sive settings in "The Phantom of
Paris" starring John Gilbert, which
will open Sunday midnite and Mon
day and Tuesday at the Sussex The
atre, but one of the most novel is a
glorified fish pond. AS a great ma
gician Gilbert does a lot of tricks
on the stage, one of them getting out
of specially built tank after he has
been submerged in a straitjacket and
leg ions.
The tank, placed in the center of
large stage in a French theatre, is
glass on all four sides. 1t is six
feet in depth, four feet wide and
seven feet long. To all appearances
it looks as if it should be the home
of family of gold fish. Placed on
ia high pedestal so that the audience
can see all that goes on within the
tank, it required a miniature plumb
ing system on the stage to fill and
drain it.
The magician is placed in the
most cOnfining instrument known to
man, dropped into the tank so that
he is completely submerged, and,
with a few quick movements, frees
himself from his shackles and climbs
out of the odd structure.

LAUREL AND HARDY A RIOT IN
SCHOOLROOM EPISODE OF
"PARDON US"

You can well imagine how far
Laurel and Hardy would get in an
intelligence test. In Pardon U.s.
their first feature-length comedy,
which will play Friday and Saturday
the Sussex Theatre, Georgetown,
they go back to school. It is pri-
son institution, but nevertheless a
schoolroom.
James Finlayson is the teacher
with his four-cornered hat and long
robe-one of those "all here answer
present, and those not here answer
absent" sort of a professors, He
teaches the convicts their history,
geography, arithmetic, ETC., which
answers, whether correct or incOr-
rect, depend upon the size of the
pupil. .t
Professor Finlayson's chapeau is
the target for many a BIB shot, and
it is poor Oliver Hardy that is the
butt of all such tricks. More than
once this fellow has to hold his
hand out for a smack from teachers
ruler-in this case billy club.

PARTY LIFE
District Departments

ONE Of the comrades on tour for the Central
" Committee writes in his report among other
things: I'm all the districts that visited up to
now. with the exception Of Chicago and in some
instances Cleveland, there is one common fall
ing, namely no departments are functioning or
even existing, as for example Pittsburgh and
Detroit. In some cases only beginning is to
be found :" So in few lines a whole
situation is characterized.
This, Of course, is an impermssible situation
especially taking into consideration all the in
structions sent from the center to the districts
on this matter. all the discussions on the i'm
provement Of the Party structure at conventions
and Plenums, and conferences; all plans OF work
elaborated by the districts in which the building
of departments was contemplated as one Of the
key problems Of our district apparatus. The
districts instead Of improving the, apparatus
have gone back to the old line where the or
ganzer and organization secretary are the only
working machines in the district. It is clear
that in this way tho district cannot function
properly. y many respects the barometer shows

barriers OF bureaucracy. Every army must know
the value of recruits, must know how to
train and effectively use new fresh fighting
forces
Generalization and Sharing of Experiences.
The &C, as well as an increasing number of
our districts, are making serious Roadway in the
solution of many of the above problems Too
often the solution of the problems proceeds in
slow and haphazsrd manner Mistakes per-
est and are repeated. In many respects. this
is due to the fact that our experiences are not
"nalyzed and the proper lessons drawn Fur
+hernore, the Plenum resolutions and the &C
instructions are forgotten" as the guide for
@nalvzing our experiences correcting and pre-
venting repetition of mistakes
The Party is slowly hanlmering our correct
polshevik erganizatona1 forms and activities in
the course of the increasing and sharpening
struggles The regional conferences will be pre-
sented with the results of our recent experiences
with concrete directives and proposals to fur
Their improve the Party structure and methods
of work
From the discussions of the concrete proposals
of the &C. in the light of the rich experiences
in the, sections and districts the Party will pro-
coed to carry out its tasks with greater Boil
shevik efficiency
The conferences will not ATTEMPT to discuss
all problems. In order to make the discussion
and work of the conferences fruitful, we will
take up the most pressing problems The follow
ing points will be the only problems for the

Fascism in Poland Prepares for
War on the Soviet

of war against the Soviet Union, which imper-
ialism with France at the head, is preparing.
There is, in France, permanent Polish Mill
tary Commission, with the purpose of purchas
ing materials, and in Cherbourg there is
functioning permanent Polish military base.
The wild terror against the revolutionary
workers and farmers plays a very important
part in these war preparations The fascist die
tatorship with its growing bloody terror, aims
not only to suppress the resistance of the work
ing masses to the fascist plans murderouS capt.
talst naturalization, destruction of all workers
achievements, arbitration policy, fascist tax and
agrarian policy, national destruction policy in
the occupied Ukraine and White Russian coun-
ties with regard to the national mnoritieS), but
also to insure, to secure the military background
positions in readiness fer the war now preparing.
But they do not take into account the most
important factor. The working masses of Poland
are becoming revolutioniZed more and more, and
they are preparing the revolutionary outlet of
the crisis through armed uprising against the
fascict dictatorship.
The general slogans of the Communist Party
and especially the slogan of armed uprising and
OF turning the imperiaIist war into a civil war
against the bourgeoisie, are becoming more and
more popular among the Polish working masses
II Pilsudski this time produced the miracle"
tiidI III Iiie HdSSdCIeu SecJlOnS OF west ukraine
and White Russia, almost 100 per cent of the
votes were given for him in the last election
this is merely a victory" that can fool nobody
Let the same oppressed worker and farmer
masses get guns in hand, and they will know
what to do.
1t is characteristic that already after Psud-
skis victory" there were sharp actions of work.
ers against Pilsudsks war preparations against
the Soviet Union Gin Jiradov Warsaw LODI
etc., actions whcih ended with bloody clashes
and victims on both sides.
The bloodhounds of Polish fascism are mis-
taken in their belief that they will succeed in
''pacifyng" the military rear position. The Po-
lsh proetariat and especially the Ukrainian and
White Russian working masses which are now
being terrorized will be the most loyal allies of
the Soviet Union in case of imperialist anti
Soviet war.
The revolutionary forces Of Poland arc grow
ing. Hence the frenzy and bestialty of the fas-
cist terror. 1t is the task of the International
working class to support and help the heroic
Communist Party of Poland in its revolutionary
struggle in one of the most important positions
of the world revolution. International capital
makes Poland q forepost Of Its Intervention
