About Mr.. Boles

One of the careful readers Of
this department says that
"Only Yesterday" opening at
the R!alto theater tonight was
not derived from a novel. In
stead it was suggested by Fred
erick Lewis Aliens book which
was a review Of the post war
period edited and assembled by
the author. Correction &C
copied.
Another who claims to know
says that John Boles is so good
in this picture probably his wife
was not around. That needs
explanation. Actor Boles is
handsome, has a fine physique
anu figure. a good singing and
speaking voice, wears clothes
well but has generally lacked
something. He only does mod
erately well with good roles
whereas his opportunities might
have spelled greatness.
Some critics have called it in
difference but I call it lack Of
warmth and stiffness, a limited
talent for expressing emotions
usually and a seeming absence
Of enthusiasm for what appear
as agreeable movie chores. Such
as in his love scenes. Rumol
says that Mrs. Boles objects to
too much fervor in the romantic
clincheS and being a dutiful
husband the actor yields to her
advice on the technique Of love
making.
Up to now Back Street" was
the finest Boles exhibit. In
"Only Yesterday" he is very
good once more. Mr.. Boles I'M
bends, as it were, and the net
result is that he takes the run
ner-up honors of the picture in
which Margaret Sullivan stars.
I ought to say that the ladies
will accord him runner-up
honors. My candidate for Sec
ond place in honor ratings
would be Jimmy Butler, a jul
venile actor in the picture. But
what a juvenile and what q
dandy little actor.

DRESSER, NOTED u. S. NOVELIST,

H. L. Mencken Also Issues Plea for Release of
Framed-up Labor Prisoner

NEW YORK-Theodore Dresser,
leading American writer and H. L.
Mencken, editor of American Mer-
curry" have issued statements endors-
ing the Free Tom Mooney Congress
in Chicago from April 80 to May 2.
Dresser said that Mooney has no
illusions about obtaining justice in
the capitalist courts" and is depend
ing upon "mobilizing the support of
the working class of America and of
the world to free him from his living
hell"
Dreiser's full statement follows:
tom Mooney has been granted a
new trial 1t has been set for April
26 and is based on an unused indict-
ment for murder in connection with
the bombing Of the San Francisco
Parade in 1916.
THE verdict of the new trial can
not legally effect the verdict of the
original hearing. Still, it is MONEYS
first opportunity to mount the wit
ness stand and openly expose the
which sent him to prison
for life. With this frame-up once

will be impossible for Governor Rolph
any longer to deny pardon.

Overcome the Fear Of the Masses.

Overcome the Fear Of the Masses.
In Conneaut, Ohio, there was
person j. who had been agitating
for Communism for a full year pre-
vious to the presidential election.
Con1rade j. did not know if there
were any Party members in the town.
Comrade j. was given collection lists
to aid the Daily Worker. j. sold five
copies of the Daily Worker twice a
week. Being eager to study Com
munisn, CoInrade j. began to in
duire about q Workers School. He
finally discovered such a school
through personal inquiry at the Dis
trict Office in Cleveland. He regis
tered, paid his own tuition, and then
went back to Conneaut. During the
presidential campaign Comrade j..
with other non-Party comrades, was
active in agitational work and also
in distributing pamphlets. The re-
suits were that in the fourth ward
precinct the Communist candidates
received as votes. All these facts
were fully known to the Party com
rades in Conneaut AS a matter of
fact there were even Party members
living in the precinct where j. can
vassed for votes. Yet in spite Of this
at no time did Conrade j. receive
an invitation to join the Party.
However, Comrade j. did succeed
in getting into the Party, but not
through any fault OF the 'Conneaut
Comrades. When the National Hun
ger March was being prepared,
comrade from the section was sent TO
help carry through the preparatory
work. While in Conneaut he came
in contact with Comrade j. and filed
out an application for him. Shortly
after the section organizer came there
and he was accepted.
Recently through Comrade Us ef-
forts the unit agreed to accept two
new members. The old members,
however, proposed that the new mem
beers should be put In & separate group
with one or two Of the older COM
rades teaching them Communism.
Further, that these new recruits
should not attend any OF the unit
meetings for about three or four
weeks. Fortunately in this particular
instance the plan was not carried
out. Comrade j. was instrumental in
getting besides these two members,
another one; also he was indirectly
responsible in getting fourth re-
cruit. All these new members are
native born.
In conclusion wish to make an
appeal to all Party members. When
you see and know Of good worker
do not hesitate to ask him to join
the Party. Also it is not a good poll
icy to accept new recruits and then
to keep them from unit meeting
for a given time. These are secta-
rian tendencies and we as Party
members must overcome them.

hang him. Mooney, in reply, has
challenged Cunha and Fickert to as
sist the prosecution.
Utilities Fight Trial.
But the utility corporations which
framed Mooney are afraid to see him
again take the stand. They are leav-
ing no stone unturned to quash the
indictment and prevent the trial
Four such moves have been made.
First, District Attorney Matthew
Brady moved for a dismissal of the
indictment. Then he threatened to
withdraw from the case. Attorney
General Webb advised against this,
suggesting instead that he apply for
a writ Of mandamus from the Ap-
pellate Court, quashing the indict-
ment. Brady now states that he is
preparing a synopsis with which to
move for dismissal the opening day
Of the trial.
"On April 18th, a former assistant
district attorney argued at a court
hearing granted him that a new trial
will constitute double Jeopardy" and
is therefore unconstitutional.
Though insisting that he is OPP
posed to the trial because there is
no evidence to warrant a conviction,
Brady, under the guise of being
friendly to Mooney, is in reality do
ing him colossal harm. The trial
is MONEYS greatest chance
for gaining freedom. To deny him
this chance is not only brutally I'M
Just; it means that the State Of Cali
fornia is determined to keep Mooney
in prison.
Know They Cannot Convict.
For many years the corrupt poll
ticians and the big industrialists of
the Pacific Coast have been crying
that Mooney is guilty. Here is their
chance to prove it. They know they
cannot. They know, furthermore.
that their part in the framing of
Mooney will be exposed. Hence they
are fighting tooxll and nail to halt
the trial.
But the trial must be held.
tom Mooney has no illusions
about obtaining justice in the capt.
talist courts. He knows that he will
have to force justice from them by
the support of the work
ing class of America and of the world
to free him from his living hell
He has, therefore, issued a call
for a Free Tom Mooney Congress in
Chicago from April 80 to May 2, ap-
pealing to all working class and SYM
pathetic organizations of every ma
ture, regardless of creed, sex and
color. to be represented there and to
decide upon the most effective meth
ods to rally the workers of the world
for the freedom of Tom Mooney and
the defense of all working class pris-
oners.'

even the most frantic enemy of
