Storm Scene on Stage.

THE limitations of the stage as a
medium Of expression has been
given generous amount or sympathetic
publicity, and lovers of the theater often
have moaned the fact that the three
sided room. the cramped perspective
of Stage-depth, the comparatively puny
proScenium opening all tend toward
making the theater but a puny rival Of
the motion picture camera.
A sight of the Storm Song" stage
setting, however, has served to hearten
the ''inveterate" theatergoer. In Phila-
delphia it has been a main topic of
Rialto conversation the past two weeks,
and many have affirmed, that no more
elaborate, realistic assemblage of stage
settings has ever been offered the public
Audiences are said to have been en-
thralled by the realism of the produce
ton. They have sat entranced, actually
gaSping, while the hullabaloo of q hur-
ricane, the pitching of a four-masted
ship, the great noise of Pacific storm
rivaled in the intensity Of its realism the
action Of the players, and now Storm
Song" Is being cited as an outstanding
instance of what may be done with
legitimate theater effects.

Synthetic Fame.

YOU could hardly call it "the curse of
drink" in Charlie Ruggles' case.
Better might it be called "the blessing
of drink" for, foremost among comedi-
ans of the talking screen, he got there
by interpreting with unusual fineSs roles
that reeked with the odor of gin. He
became the most consistent inebriate of
the screen, and in its Interpretation re-
vealed his talents as natural
comedian"
His face is his most effective medium.
Before he says a word you are pre-
pared to laugh-the lift of the eyebrow,
the movements Of his mouth, all tell a
story by themselves. In this unobtru-
sive way he has often stolen the thun-
der from the star of the films in which
he has appeared
Heretofore his roles have been fea-
tured always in support of another
player His latest vehicle, however,
"Charley's Aunt" the farce adapted
from Brandon Thomas play of oxford
University student life, now at R-K-O
Keith's Theater, gives him the star role.
At last he has picture to himself.

Ludicrous Leon Enrol.

THE Leon Enrol who in sally" gave
this Nation of ours one of its
heartiest laughs in years has Succumbed
to the audible screen, and in "One
Heavenly Night" the romance that also
brings Evelyn Laye and John Boles 70
LoeW's Palace this week. displays his
droll humor and his rubber legs in a
full length talking picture for the hrst
time
Like John Boles, his fellow player,
Leon Enrol studied to be surgeon. Boles
attended a medical school in Texas. 1t
was at ST. Joseph's College at Sidney,
Australia, that Enrol expected to get his
doctors shingle. He didn't for class
mates insisted on making a clown Of
him, he said, and this in turn suited
Enrol to a 1T"
Once the decision was made and the
Rubicon crossed, Enrol became a clown
in earnest. For 10 years he toured
through Australia in vaudeville, light
opera and musical comedy revues In
1910 he came to America for Florence
Ziegfeld and continued in the Follies
in 1915. In turn he appeared in the
"WinSome Widow" THE Century Girl"
"FIitchy Koo" and Joy Bells" followed
by the triumphant sally" in which
he shared honors with Marilyn Miller.
Since then there were Two Follies and
Yours Truly" Last Spring Enroll was
one of the novelty masters of cere-
monies in Paramount on Parade"
"One Heavenly Night" is his first
talking picture in which he has a story
part.

Dear Comrade Editor:
Herewith / am sending check for

working at the Briggs Manufacturing
Co., Cernor Ave. plant formerly
Waterloo plant), that is building auto
bodies for the great philanthropist"
Ford, the Hudson Essex, and the
Chrysler-Rlymouth. This worker was
hired as production man on the
basis of piecework rate on body
work. He was ordered to come to
work in the morning and started at
7 am, April 90. From am. to 1880
am. he was working like hell, ma
turally so because his job was piece
work job. At 1880, they ran out of
stock and told him to go home and
come back the next day. He asked
how much money he had made, and
he was given the slip that he had
made exactly 45c. He got damn dis
gusted that he did not come back
the next day In other words he quit.
He thought that if he has to starve.

Fear Born in Slave Days Must Be Lost, :"
Says Negro Woman; Workers Must Unite

(By Negro woman who was saved
from eviction by the Unemployed
CounciI.)
Pittsburgh, Pa.
The Negro, brought into this coun-
try without his consent by the white
slave-oWners, has inherited that fear
and distrust of the white man even
today, especially when he sees that
the lynching mob is composed of
white people, What they must see
now is that those who brought them
here were white bosses, and these
same bosses also brought the foreign
born workers into this country al
most in the same manner. They
went to Europe and other continents
and spread lies about the wealth of
this country in times of strikes, up
risings on the part Of the American
workers against the long hours and
miserable conditions imposed upon
them in the mines, mills and factor
les.
The Negro worker must also learn
that those in the lynching mobs are
workers who suffer the same miser-
able conditions but have been taught
by the white and colored ruling class

Now, fellow workers. this is what is
in store for every working man under

slow up. Don't make old men out

American born workers, colored and
white, hate the foreign-born work
ers-So that the workers should be
divided in all these different cate
gories and fight against each other,
instead of uniting and fighting
against the bosses, colored or white.

not stand afraid to trust our own

solving the Negro problem. The Ne

similar problems. So but that they
must put forth all of their energy

And only recently has it been seen
that the Negro worker is breaking
down that fear and is organizing, to-

Workers Dare Not

Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
In my department where I work
last Tuesday we went home Is min
uteS before the quitting time and
were docked 30 minutes. The next
day asked the foreman: What is
the big idea that they cut our time?"
He said: you are damn lucky that
you work and what the hell more do
you want? If you complain too much
you'll get kicked out"
Yes, comrades. as long as the work
ers are not organized the bosses can
treat them any way that they please.
The only way that the workers can
defend themselves against the bosses
is through organization.
Not only this, the workers are even
terrorized from going to the toilet,
because if they are caught in the
toilet they get fired The Ford Co.
has invented a new method how TO
hunt the workers. Partitions and in
penetrable glasses of some toilets are
torn down so the servicemen can see
workers without going in the toll
cts. This is also a part of Ford
slavery and speed-up system. Just
imagine, we, the poor workers, have
to work eight hours steady without
going to the toilet This is the worst
way to ruin the workers health. 1t
is up to us workers to organize and
learn how to fight against the bosses

told the foreman that he needed the
stock or else he couldn't proceed to
work. He was told to go home and
come in the next day, and If he
wanted to be sure of his lob, he
should bring some of the wooden
blocks from home, and he would not
have to wait until the company gets
them. When the week was over, all
the earnings was $2.25. He nearly
spent the whole amount on street
car fare and besides that had to bor-
ro Wmoney to buy tools and his
lunch, and supplies for his family al

counted in.
Another worker in the Briggs Man
ufacturing plant was coming to work
regularly every day, waited for four
hours and was sent home. This kept
on for whole week. After the week
was over his pay check was some-
where around s3.46.
