Washington s Players.
ONE-ACT PLAY TOURNAMENT.

A MOTHER theatrical cocktail was
staged last night in the second
evening Of the Community Center's
one-act play tournament at Eastern
High School with the laurels of the
day probably going to the Mont
gomery Players for their adept in
depreciation of the Russian drama,
'Highness.'
"Highness," tale of new Russia
and OF its counter-revolutionis
lacked none Of the authenticity of
the real thing, what with its well
thought out plot, its scrupulous re-
gard to detail, and its natural
acting. The facility with which the
actors handled their roles was some
thing far out Of the ordinary. This
tragedy-drama, replete with action
and suspense, had an unusual climax
which added the finishing touch to
a well rounded play. Pavel Orlov
as the Soviet amnesia victim was
especially effective, as was his
princess. Eleanor Coates Teitman.
Ralph w. Smith and Jane Plummer
Rice completed an excellent cast.
A sprightly farce, "Tea With a
Wicked Lady," offered by the Work.
shop was another highlight of the
entertainment with its light quail
tiles and interesting surprises. Ap-
preciattve players enacted the char
acters with wit that completely
captivated the audience and evoked
many a chuckle. This, perhaps, is
one Of the most engaging and ster-
ling comedies seen so far. The
austere and hypocritical butler,
Marvin Beers, did much to place the
offering ON high plane with his
clever and faithful acting. Noama
Worden as the wicked lady and
Wilma Wright Flood as the maid
revealed more than o nOdding ac-
quaintanceship with the stage and
Harold Wineberger. as the man in
the plot, played with an ease seldom
seen in the amateur field.
The biblical presentation, Elisha,
the Prophet of God" presented by
the Young Peoples Society of the
First Congregational Church, was
particularly notable with its balance
Of costume, acting and simplicity of
scenic effect. A fine theme, well
handled and well presented, did
much to make this one of the most
diverting and entertaining offered
SO far. The cast included Tudor
Wilton, Hugh G. Smith, Patricia
Nolan Palmer, Lois Ann Conklin
and Lorna Ellis Smith.
Booth Tarkington's ''The Trysting
Place" offered by the Mount Pleas
ant Players, had clear sailing, and
was amusingly and effectively per-
formed. Charles Collingwood, as the
youthful Lancelot, and Marion Rose
as the widow, were all that could
be expected. Gerald Brooks as the
high strung bachelor was decidedly
finished. as was the staid Mrs.
Briggs, Carolyn E. Sebastian. Verna
Volz and Hugh Wingard completed
cast of high merit F. L. C.

Our advice to you, however, Is to
turn yourself into Mae West. Miss
West has gotten away with things
nobody ever dreamed Of before. And
we are certain that she is q home
girl" too. Never having seen pic
lures of her in a tank or chasing
a wild bull, or out on the prairies
with golf club, it Is obvious that
her forte must be staying at home
with ma and pa. If, when you get
onto that train, you can say that you
are Miss Vests double, you will be
signed probably into eternity. For In
this case neither beauty, nor acting,
nor golf, nor tennis has anything to
do with 1t.

REMOVAL ASKED
N HAWAIIAN CASE
attorney General Accused by
Senator in Handing of
MasSie Defendants.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HONOLULU, February ia reso-
tuition on file in the Hawaiian Senate
today declared Attorney General Harry
Hewitt should be removed from office
without delay" for his handling Of the
case against four men accused OF
criminally attacking Mrs. Thalia Mass1e.
Senator David Trask introduced the
resolution yesterday after a Philadel-
phia dispatch was received quoting
Mrs. Massie, wife of Naval officer,
as saying she had been prevailed upon
by Hawaiian authorities to leave the
islands before the accused men were
retired. A jury disagreed at the f1rst
trial and the charges were quashed
this week.
Mrs. Massie said she agreed to leave
when island authorities promised to
commute to one hour the 10-year SEN
tences imposed upon her husband, Lieut..
Thomas H. Massie; her mother, Mrs.
Granville Fortescue, and two enlisted
Navy men, for conviction Of manslaugh-
ter in the Staying of Joseph Kahahawai,
fifth alleged attacker.
Kahahawai was abducted and slain
while the five were awaiting a retrial.
John C. Kelley, prosecutor, termed
Mrs. Massie's assertions bunk" Hewitt
denied knowledge of any agreement.
Gov. Lawrence M. Judd, who COM
muted the sentences, said he did not
care to discuss the case further.

numbe one says: els it true that
one does not have to be beautiful
these days to get into the movies?"
Letter number two says: IT have
never acted in my life. Will this
destroy my chances for winning a
screen test?"
Letter number three says: "Do
have to know how to swim and dive
and play tennis and golf and ride
horseback to get a break in the
hlms?. I'm really just home girl"
These various questions will, Of
course, be answered by the screen
oracleS who arrive on the train.
But in their absence (the train will
not get to Washington before in
augural week. We can make q stab
at answering ourselves.
You do not have to be beautiful
to get into the movies. But-heaven
help you If you are ugly. If the
shape of your head is bad and
you have a nice smile, do what
you can with that smile and try to
keep the head out of the way. Many
a screen star has major faults which
nobody knows about-and by capital
izing one major asset her life in the
film has been one long Wagnerian
whoop.
The question whether you have to
be able to act to get into the movies
Is trtfle harder. One school will
say Eyes" and yet. after looking at
certain films, you could positively say
no" A few years ago when the
Clara Bow, Buddy Rogers, Richard
Arlen, Paramount youngsters, were
In their hey-day you could be quite
certain that acting had nothing to
do with it. But today with La Garbo
and Charles Laughton and Marie
Dressler and Helen Hayes at the
head of the roost the story Is differ
ent. Yes, we are afraid, Madame 2,
that you will have to learn how to
act before you get very far in the
films, although If you can turn your
self into Mae West and shake your
shoulders with disdain at the tradi-
tional manner Of behaving yourself
before the camera you way win out
too. Borrow a little wisdom from
Clifford Brooke before you step on
that train and maybe your face and
your personality" will get you the
rest Of the way.
AS for the home girl-here Is q
problem. I should think that she
might have a hard time. Holly
wood Is not a home girl town Al
though you see many pictures Of
stars kidding along their vegetable
gardens, although mother" is al
ways smiling just around the cor
ner, and father" Is apt to be sit
ting before the fire putting away on
his 1873 corn cob-the fact remains
that Hollywood is not home girl
town.
If you had been born a Tallulah
Bankhead, and had roses strewn be-
fore you in Piccadilly, and had
wines and perfumes and shoe trees
named after you, you might be able
to give up the healthy life. But
since, when you get on that test
train you will have to show them
what you can do, II you say merely
that you fine in the parlor, but no
good outdoors your future may be
cloudy.
There Is, however, one way out.
II you have friend who Is your
exact double, and who can do every
thing you can't do, and who has
your personality and your face as

you out to Hollywood, and she can

SO A Week for II Hour
Day, Six Days A Week
(By a Worker Correspondent

NEW HAVEN, Conn.--The Cham
bar of Commerce on June IA issued
a report that in the month OF May
local industries increased the work
hours by 100000 over April. This in
order to show that New Haven is
also" getting taste of the new
Roosevelt prosperity.
But the report failed to mention
that at the Armstrong Tire shop on
Hallock Avenue women are working
~ hours a day, six days week and
make maximum of SO week which
includes the much advertised 10 per
cent raise announced few weeks
ago.
They failed to report that the Win
chester Repeating Arms Co., just re-
Gently gave its employees another cut
of five cents an hour which leaves
them with the highest rate in the
shop at 80 cents an hour and the
lowest at Is cents an hour, working
ten hours day.
They also failed to mention the
numerous sweatshops that work their
help all sorts of hours with pay en-
velopes as low as s1.69 fer 10 hours.
Workers! This kind Of ballyhoo
will not work for long. The workers
in those shops are beginning to see
through these things. Sentiment Is
very strong for organization and
struggle, and we may expect New
Haven workers soon in the struggle
for better conditions.

POLICE USE
CLUBS, GAS
IN EVICTION
A RE s t 3 Resisting
Eviction of Negro
Worker

NEW YORK. - Breaking through
windows, police with drawn guns and
gas bumbs, forced their way into the
home of William Bryan, militant
Negro worker at 54S Rockaway Ave,
Brooklyn, yesterday. When twenty
neighbors in the house resisted the
eviction, while 500 angry workers
whom the police found difficult to
quiet, added their voices of disap-
prevail.
During the demonstration, young
pioneer, Nathan Winkofsky, Is, get
ting the better of his judgement,
manifested his indignation by pelting
the police with tomatoes. The action
resulted in his being taken to jail
along with Lyman Blunberg, 26,
whom the police hit on the head for
addressing the crowd. The brutality
with which the workers were treated
intensified the anger of one of the
sympathizers to the extent of throw
ing an object intended for the movers
but which found its mark on a police
man. At this, a gang of police pounced
on an innocent bystander, Robert
Okum who was in nearby hallway,
dragged him into waiting patrol
wagon and after beating him I'M
mercifully took him to Jail.
Bryan, who was arrested on April
20, for defending the eviction of his
wife and himself from their home
will be tried on framed charge of
felonious assault" on AUGUST 9th at
the Special Sessions at Smith and
Schermerhorn Sts., Brooklyn, where
the International Labor Defense will
defend him.
The International Labor Defense
which will defend the three arrested
workers, Friday, urges all friends and
sympathizers to be present at the
trial which will be held Saturday
morning at the magistrates court at
Pennsylvania and Liberty Avenues,

NO FEDERAL AID
SAYS H. HOPKINS
State, National Heads
Shirk Responsibility

WASHINGTON. July 21.-Refusing
request of 100000 for Ohio re-
lief, Harry L. hopkins. Emergency
Relief Administrator, admitted that
the $50O,OoOoo0 federal appropriation
is entirely inadequate for the whole
country.
Pursuing the same course as in all
instances where local, state and fed
eral officials pass the buck to each
other, Hopkins said, "They need the
money, no question about that. The
only question is, who is to put it
up?"
Kentucky also has made no pro-
vision for unemployment relief
Hopkins insisted that they will not
be granted aid unless they raise
three times as much as will be con-
tributed by the Federal government.
When the bill was adopted in
Congress the Daily Worker showed
that the insignificant appropriation
cannot care even for the bare min
imum to aid the unemployed.

NEWARK, N. FAILING in an at
tempt to deport James Veeny, Negro
worker, and his family to the South,
police arrested him on charge OF
vagrancy. The Unemployed Councils
and the Interna tional Labor Defense
came to his defense and he was re-
leased. Veeny has now filed suit for
false arrest against the head of
Newark relief, Malady, his assist
ant, Cornelius, and Judge Nicholas
Alabama, who confined him to jail.
The Unemployed Councils then
proceeded to send a committee to
the Relief Department again de-
manding aid for Veeny and his FAM
lily, who are starving. Instead of
complying with the demands of the
committee, officials sent for the po-
lice. When members of the COM
mittee insisted on remaining until
relief is assured for the family, they
were hustled to jail in a patrol wa
gon. James Veeny was one of the
members of the committee who was
arrested.

Stage and Screen
Born AneW," at the Acme, Is
Delightful Silent Film of
Factory Life In the U.S.S.R.
BY JEAN ROBERTS

Born Anew" the new Soviet film
which opened at the Acme Theatre
yesterday, is thoroughly delightful
and entertaining performance. Acted
by a cultural shock brigade Of the
Cannery Workers Club in Daghes-
tan, it radiates the freshness and
vigor that one expects by now from
the Russian udarniki.
The story traces the development
Of backward religious young shep-
herd into a class-conscious shock
sbrigader at cannery factory. The
highlights of this growth are handled
deity and h,gno.ously. Particularly
memorable are the shots Of the
young shepherd when young woman
worker defeats him in a bowling con-
test, and when he realizes, for the
first time, that the entire cannery
belongs to him-'to you, to me, to
EVERYBODY"
There are several splendid bits of
photography that will warm the cold
hearts Of professional and semi
professional movie-goers. More i'm
portant than this, however, is the
simplicity and sustained charm of
the story, which will undoubtedly
evoke the enthusiasm of every worker
who is fortunate enough to see Born
Anew"
Although 1t never rises beyond a
pleasant and enjoyable competence,
this reviewer finds sufficient excel
lence in this new Amkino film to
recommend it without reservation to
all Daily Worker readers.
[ The film is directed by E. Griaznov,
based on a scenario by Victor Smir-
nov, and is accompanied by an unu-
sually good musical score arranged
by Jack Felony.
