HOLLYWOOD, Calf, July 23-The
film colony which gained many Of the
stars made famous by Florenz Ziegfeld
paid tribute to him today.
Eddie Cantor: Il could not feel any
worse over the passing of Ziegfeld If he
had been my father. He was r. spon-
fessional career. His going away leaves
a great void in the theater. Daring.
generous and lovable, he was a master
Snowman Of the American theater. In
my lifetime and yours. there will never
be another Ziegfeld. The great glorifier
is gone" .
Marie Dressler: Ct cannot think of
man or woman in American theatri
Gals who will be more sincerely mourned.
Mr.. Ziegfeld made contribution to the
snow business OF our country that will
be appreciated 30 years from now,
even more than at present. He brought
beauty and pleasure to millions of lives.
He raised scores and scores OF girls and
young men from obscurity to stardom."
Samuel GOldwyn: Apart from the
deep personal friendship I had for
FlorenZ Ziegfeld. apart from my ad-
miration for him as a man deeply de-
voted to his family and his home, I
loved him for the crusading reckless
spirit that he brought to his work. To
the stage and through it, the screen,
he carried his fair, his sense Of drama,
his color. his trained love of beauty
and wealth. 1 have often wondered
how far out of the theater the Ziegfeld
influence went; whether this task OF
glorifying the American girl did not
make American Womanhood, and man
hood. too, beauty conscious"
Billy Dove: The charm and kindli-
ness of Mr.. Ziegfeld's extraordinary per-
sonality will remain with all of us
who knew him and worked with him"
Virginia Bruce: He was An inspira-
tion to all Of us who ever had the good
fortune to work with him"
Edgar Selwyn: "As a former stage
producer, I have always been fully
aware of the desperate chances Florenz
Ziegfeld took, many times, to justify his
belief that the American public would
support them; enterprises conceived first
snd foremost with the highest standards
Of beauty and good taste"
Wallace Beery: The sad news of his
passing has affected more individuals
than could be caused by the death Of
any other American Snowman"
May Robson: In my so years on the
stage l have never known a more dy-
mamie. more important figure than
Florenz Ziegfeld, He dominated COM
pletely that very important niche in the
theater in which he ruled so long"

Ziegfeld's death is a bitter shock to

"All New Productions"
He admits they are not falling over
themselves to have their works given
premiere showings here but says he
has enough good plays on hand to give
his university audience next year a
program of all new productions by we'll
known authors and promising young
writer's as well.
"A play which doesn't gross $4,000

whether it is good or bad" Prof, Mabic
asserts. Sometimes playwrights are
compelled to put up part Of the cost
of production before they can interest
a New York producer in their script.
In addition to the expense of pro-
duoing a play on broadway, Prof. Mabie
contends. a Broadway audience has
definite standards for judging pro-
duction-so a play normally must be
written to the "Broadway formula
He believes there are many play
wrights whose attitude toward New
York production is similar to that of
the youthful Paul Green. who SAYS:
II don't care about the opportunity
to make money. I want to write what
I please and have it given trial"
Freedom and Originality.
Green says he finds greater freedom
and opportunity for originality away
from New York City.
This apparent change in attitude to-
ward progressive university and little
theaters, Prof Mabie believes, should
be stimulus to playwrights.
He says a play can be presented here
with capable direction and adequate
stage properties at a cost of less than
$500. before an audience which has
patronized the university theater II
years and is not uncritical.
In addition to producing new scripts
by established playwrights. the univer-
sity director expects to present premieres
by unknowns whose plays he believes
show promise.

is in close touch with the March at
this Jail. They gave some of the
guards a special tear gas training to
use against the marchers. In this

you can see the bitter hatred against
the Negroes. There are about twice
as many Negroes as white prisoners.
Many OF the Negroes even do not
know of the Scottsboro case. But uB-
der the circumstances I am trying to
explain this to them and organize
them when they get out. So that
just goes to prove that no matter
where they put us they can't stop

Chats with Our
WOrcOrrS

From these letters from our Worker
Correspondents we learn of the COM
radely attitude of solidarity from
workers and farmers, and from rank
and file soldiers too, toward the
marchers. The by-standers also ad-
mired the courage and discipline Of
the marchers in face of the fierce
provocation the officials practiced.
Now our correspondents should
write us of the reports of the re-
turning delegates, how they are re-
ceived by the local workers, what
these workers think about the march,
and what organization results from
these meetings.
1t is important TO get the opinions
of the employed and part-time work
ers, particularly where the militancy
of the unemployed has given courage
to the workers in the shops to fight
wage cuts and lowering OF the stan
dard Of living.

attend meetings but join the Unem-

He told me that when they were
being given instructions they were
told to try to provoke the marcherS
into fight, and to use their guns,
and shoot to kill''. They were to
choose the leaders especially. Also
a friend of mine was told the same
identical thing by regular cop. This
proves that the police officials, Major

hberately provoking the marchers.
shooting them up, and then drive
them out like the bonus marchers.
1t is thanks to the courage and great
patience of the marehers that these
hyenas in uniform did not get their
aim and the marchers left this city
VIGOROUSLY, yet without any casual
ties
I went down to see the marchers
in their camp. The first thing that
struck my attention was the vicious
and apparently deliberately savage
attitude Of the police towards these
hunger marchers, Until today, was
not fully convinced that this savag-
cry on the part of the defenders of
law and order" was deliberately Or
dered and instigated by the police
officials. I did hear and see the
special gas squad upon the hill and
the police guards near the dead
line, in the camp taunt curse, and
in general use methods tending to
provoke the marchers.
The same haunting and brutality
on the part of the police noticed
during the parade on Tuesday on
Fourth and Pennsylvania Ave, NV.
One of the spectators crossing the
street and was just about to pass the
left flank of the police line that sur
rounded the Hunger Marchers like a
ring of steel, when Immediately he
was attacked by two cops. He was
knocked down to the pavement.
About three more cops joined the
other two and kept on beating this
man. The cops kept on barking at
the marchers like bunch Of savage
blood hounds all along the parade.
Yet I did not see single marcher as
much as utter q word in protest. 1t
looked as though they clenched
their teeth, but refused TO be pro-
voked When the cops kept on shout
ing to each other. Hey, Tom, where
is my Hamburger" meaning a hun
ger marcher beaten up into pulps.
even then all I saw the marchers
do in response is sing louder and
with more pep.

SOCIALIST WAR PROPAGANDA
ON GERMAN RADIO

The German broadcasting system
is closed to all proletarian programs
or speeches. But the Social Demo-
Gratis of Germany can use the radio
for their programs. A sample of their
programs shows us why. A memorial
service for the German soldiers who
fell in the war was broadcast from
the Reichstag building in November,
the program being carried over all
the German stations. THE PRO-
GRAM WAS ORGANIZED BY THE
SOCIALIST WAR CRIPPLES LEA
CUE. A Socialist speaker declared
i'll his memorial speech:
I'VE fell for Germany's splendor
sit must be beautiful to live
through a real trench attack. My
sword, so often viewed with joy -.
Germany, am readyl"
This is the unashamed return of
the German Socialist Party to the
chauvinist war-fever of August, 1914.
This explains why the German cap
itahst government allows the Social
list League to use the radio. Workers,
discuss this with your Socialist fellow
workers in your shops!
