Broadway Comedy

Despite the anarchy of the Broad
way theatre, it seems to have its
laws. One of the most indisputable
Of them permits writer to treat al
most any theme If he can make it
funny. The first prominent anti-war
play was a comedy, What Price
Glory?";; the first racket play was
another comedy, broadway; the
first play to examine the movies was
still another comedy, "Once in q
Lifetime; the most successful politi-
cal play was musical comedy, "Of
Thee I Sing"
One might suppose from this that
we were nation of humorists, q
jolly people. But Broadway comedy is
very special thing with a character
all its own. True comedy uses the
materials of experience as frankly, as
boldly, as completely as any tragedy,
Don Quixote" is comedy, so are the
plays of Moliere, the novels and plays
Of Gogol. All Of them are close to
life, increase our understanding Of
it, and are just as concerned with

Broadway comedy eliminates the
truth of every subject, in fact it re-
moves the subject altogether. So that
the audience which applauds the
comic anti-war play Is composed Of
the same people who were patriotic"
during the war, and will be again;
the audience which howls with glee
over "Of Thee I Sing" are Democrats
whose laughter would turn sour If a
really revolutionary idea were sug-
gested to them by the show. And the
audience which proved its superiority
by laughing over the absurdity of the
movie industry in "Once In Life
time" is the audience which supports
Hollywood.

A painters strike had brought five
pickets to this building. But scabs had
been hired to defeat the strike. The

fight soon began, fight that was

Negro Artists Play
Big Part in Forum
on Workers Dance

NEW YORK.-The first of series
OF Workers Dance League Forum re-
citals posing the question: what
Shall the Negro Dance About?" at
tracted more than capacity audi
ence of colored and white people to
the auditorium of the Y.W.C.A. on
w. 18th ST., last Sunday evening.
There was an atmosphere of whole
hearted interest as the audience laid
down their programs which an
nounced, first, group Of dances by
the prominent Negro dancer, Hemsley
Winfield, and his group, to radio
broadcast called Red Lacquer and
jade; second, Black and White Sol
idarity Dance by two members of
the Workers Dance League, and,
third, forum on the question, What
Shall the Negro Dance About?"
Seven dances were presented by
Winfield, assisted by his Negro Bal
let. There was imagination and fan
tasy. emotional lucidity and restraint
showing a fine feeling for the music.
He always succeeded in projecting a
definite mood
The second part of the program
was a Black and White Solidarity
Dance by two members of the Work
ers Dance League. The social theme
struck contrasting realistic note.
With sure performance the Negro
and white workers went through
rhythmic movements depicting work,
speed-up, racial antagonism, then
realization Of class solidarity. The
dance reached a dramatic climax
when Negro and white workers join
hands in a red front salute.
The forum discussion on What
Shall the Negro Dance About?" was
opened by Winfield, who expressed
the opinion that all races, no matter
what color, had fundamental human
feelings and ideas to express in move
ment.
"The Negro has primitive African
material that he should never lose.
The Negro has his work songs of the
South which he alone can express.
It's hard for me to say what the Ne
gro should dance about. What has
anyone to dance about?"
After the cordial applause for Win
field Add Bates, Negro member OF
the Workers Dance League, said that,
"a young Negro should dance about
the things that are vital to him.
There should be a militant direction
there. There should be some fights"
The floor was thrown open to dis
cussion and some very interesting
contributions were made by members
of the audience. many of whom
agreed on one point: Eve have come
to newer type of dance" said a
representative young Negro girl, "a
dance that has social significance.
Since we recognized the Negro as an
exploited race, our dance should ex-
press the strivings of the new Negro.
1t should express our struggle for So
cial, economic and political equality
and our part In the struggle against
war"
Winfield, who had been listening
very intently to each speaker, in
summing up the forum, said:
II have heard things tonight that
have made me think"
The Workers Dance League Is
planning other recital forums in
Harlem to further continue study and
discussion on the themes of Negro
dances. M. ".

NIGHT COURT by Martin Bank

roamed the streets looking for those
elusive jobs the N.R.A. pirates about.
They finally found work-selling
morphine. They were caught with
hypodermic needles in their pockets.
One of them, slim and jerky-ner-
vous, his face CHASTITY yellow, had
become an addict himself.
The judge stares at them, then
writes something on a document. The
night court does not handle such a
case. 1t goes to higher court where
sentences are sitter. And once in Jail,
these boys, like hundreds of other
similar prisoners before them, con-
tinue in the traffic of drugs-this
time aided by the keepers of the Jail.
A few more young men enter. The
judge looks at them and shakes his
head impotently. It's a problem he is
reluctant to air in the courtroom. He
speaks in vague terms. Only slight
hints reach the people seated in front
Of him.
A Tammany Psychologist
Now why don't you do something
about it2" the judge implores the
first one. "It's a disease" the judge
utters in tone of annoyance. See
a doctor about it. You are brought
into this room month after month.
Get cured, will you? Lead a whole
some life. It's the newspapers fault.
And the cheap theaters. All that talk
about pansies and flags. That
shouldn't be permitted. These are the
things that bring about your condi-

away from that life"
The young man stands there like
a frightened calf. He listens, but does
not seem to understand. He is in an
other world. The judges words

BY LOUIS COLMAN

In spite of its unfortunately long
winded name, this is very real, very
live, up-to-the- minute and militant
magazine. 1t is Of special Importance
that at this moment when the i'm
perialist war preparations and the
preparations for Intervention against
the U.S.S.R. are reaching such CO.
lossal proportions, when war is ac-
tually raging on many fronts, and
when the need for greater mass ac-
ton against imperialist war is in
creasing in proportion, a magazine
devoted to this struggle should ap-
pear.
In its twelve large pages this re-
view, published to coincide with the
Anti-War Congress, covers a wide
field of anti-war activity, and gives
a large amount Of information on
wars and on war preparations the
world over.
OF special interest is the list of &C
lions by workers in the past IS years
which hindered or prevented entire

lean intervention, Fascisn, MIRA. as
war measure. the Soviet fight for
peace and against intervention, and
the international, organized, and
militant struggle against war on the
international front are brought for
ward in special articles.
An omission in this magazine
which is particularly grave for an
anti-war paper published in the
United States is discussion of the
role of American imperialism in its
oppression of the Negro people, as
well as the Importance Of the Negro
masses in the struggle against war.
American imperialism has declared
war against the Negro nation. 1t is
carrying on this war with murder,
economic oppression, and all the
regular and guerilla armed forces of
the white ruling class oppressors to
prevent the rising tide of struggle of
the Negro people and the white work
ers for the right of self determine
ton in the Black Belt.
This war is going on in the United
States at this moment. Negroes are
killed daily by the white ruling class
armed forces. White workers are muir
dered because they fight in this revo-
lutionary cause IT. E. Barlow In Fort
Worth, murdered by police In iaiD.
But in this magazine, devoted to
militant struggle against war, pub
lished in the United States, this i'm
perialist war and even the word Ne
gro' is not mentioned once.
