REVOLUTIONARY COMPE,
Triton MARKS YCL
RECRUITING DRIVE

NEW YORK. - The Recruiting
Drive of the Young Communist
League which began on January is
and will last until April 22nd, the
tenth anniversary of the Young
Communist League, is getting under
way at full steam.
Revolutionary competition between
the districts Of the Young Com
mu11ist League is squirting the drive
on toward successful completion
Among the first challenges to be is
sued are those of the Philadelphia
and Charlotte districts. Philadel-
plnia challenges both New York and
Minnesota to get not only the quota
Of 225 new members set by the Ma
tional Office but 300. It further
bases its challenge on the alteration
Of the composition OF its membership
so that greater per centage Of its
members will be organized in shop
units than either in New York or in
Minnesota. Setting itself a quota Of
so miners by the end of the drive, it
challenges New York and Mime
sofa to recruit similar number Of
metal workers and Minnesota an
equal number Of metal miners.
Philadelphia also declares at it will
recruit as many young Negro work
ers into the League as either New
York or Minnesota.
Southern District No. Is with the
district headquarters at Charlotte,
N. G. challenges Boston and sets for
itself the goal of recruiting 200 new
members over and above its present
membership of 65. The challenge ex-
tends to the shops, and sets as a
high mark, for Boston to aim at, the
building of shop units where there
are at present one in the textile in
dustry, the issuing Of three shop pap
ers and the building of two units in
the farming areas of the Black Belt.
The 200 new members to be recruited
125 will be young Negro workers, 80
textile workers and Is share choppers.
How about it New York, Mime
sofa and Boston?

Of all the amazing scripts to
go into action on the screen
'"Tarzan, the Ape-Man," showing
currently at Loew's Columbia, is
head and shoulders above them
all for sheer imagination.
Imaginative Story
What story there is concerns
itself with a safari bent on find
ing the graveyard of elephants
for there lies a fortune in ivory.
The African natives cannot be
induced to talk of such a place
where superstitution and fear go
hand in hand. James Parker, his
daughter Jane, Harry Holt and a
dozen or more guides and aides
de-camp reach an unknown land
after hazarding great danger;
they are myStified by weird al
most human call which causes a
maddened herd of hippos to stop
in their rush on the safari. Sud
denly they see 1.-the and bronzed
young man swinging from tree to
tree with the agility of an ape
and as suddenly he disappears
with the girl; she is terrified, but
is able to make him understand
that he must take her back which
he does.
The Safari is then captured by
a tribe of dwarfed savages and
the girls cry to a playful young
gorilla results in the most per-
fectly timed rescue Tarzan has
accomplished to date; the rescue
is the climax, the end is obvious.
Animals In Support
Johnny Weissmuller, swimming
champion, makes a great job of
the title role and throws in some
plain and fancy diving an swim
ming; Maureen O'Sullivan is good
to look at and nothing much is
demanded of her; C. Aubrey
Smith is capable as the doting
but determined father, but Neil
Hamilton is rather lost as the
man who did not get the girl.
The support is made up of lions,
tigers, leopards, gators and a
large assortment of apes.
There is a Paramount neWsreel
with Senator Bingham making a
plea for a glass of good beer, and
there is an animated cartoon
comedy, but our guarantee is
that you'll find plenty of anima-
ton in the feature picture and
how the boys will love tx. Y.

Anyway, the story is a saga of

And the Cohens and the KellyS
got hit for both-the Kellys with
their lovely daughter, Kitty, whose
silent Stardom couldn't talk. and

Tanguay Is a Hit
Time has been fairly kind to
the cyclonic Tanguay. Her figure
is still gracefully curved and
there is more than a trace of the
efferveScing bounce and joyous
spirit which made her an envied
star of the Keith circuit a genera
tion ago. With her touSled hair
and feathery costumes, Tanguay
shouts II Don't Care" her famous
hit song, accompanying it with
some of the madcap abandon and
prancing distinctly Tanguayish.
She made more than a kind

Those venerable Dutch comics,
Rice and Cady, register again
with their mangled English.

wake up the customers; George
Harrison demonstrates that TO
year-old feet can still shake out
a hot shuttle; Choc Cho, the
health clown, proves that regular

suggestion that the budget hal
ancerS spare the Government pay
rolls; Dan Barrett, May Hoey,
Tom Kelly, Alexander and Eve

All of this lavender and senti-
ment entertainment is bossed by
the 78-year-old Hank Brown.
Bossed cleverly, too. by a glib
veteran who sheds his upper and
lower plates to toss off a nifty
monologue.
The dignity and class of the
