Soviet Film at the
Acme, Fine Satire
By GEORGE LEWIS

The workers in the Soviet Union
are not only learning how to use
American machinery, but, in the
latest picture being shown at the
Acme Theatre on 14th st. in New
York, they have adapted the most
machine-li like method of expression
that Hollywood has turned out, the
musical revue.
The Soviet film, 'Marionettes,"
will surprise many people. It has
q chorus Of girls that 60 through
the drill PAGES of musical comedy
like ziegfeld veterans, They are Just
as pretty, but far more attractive.
They haven't got the patient. far
away expression of American chorus
girls who don't know where their
next meal is coming from, and who
aren't told and don't care to know
what the show is all about.
"Marionettes," like the American
original, has fantastic plot about
mythical kingdom. "Bufferia."
with love and comedy scenes and
lyrics in the Maurice Chevaher
manner. People who like that sort
of mechanical rigamarole will like
"Marionettes," And people who
don't care for this medium will like
"Marionettes" anyway, because there
is one vital difference in the plot
Of "Marionettes. The plot has a
meaning which is vital to the lives
Of every worker in every country in
the world.
In the fantastic, seemingly foolish
story of 'Bufferis' "a buffer state
on the borders of the Soviet Union
is worked out the politics and the
play Of forces going on at present in
every country in Europe, whereby
the crisis is pushing the capitalists
on to armed intervention against the
U. S. S. r. The fascist, the liberal,
the social democrat are satirized so
deity that the pictures stick. The
noise and the foolishness, and the
girls chorus fade from the memory
on the way out of the theatre.
We've seen and heard them before.
But the picture of the manufac-
turers pulling these "marionettes"
by the strings, the story of the dis
covery of Comintern plot" the
snivelling liberal and the scheming
humane" social democrat, and the
accidental" boom of the cannon let
loose in the great Act of Provoca-
ton against the Soviet Union, these
things workers audience will not
forget.

and most of all is willing and cap
able, therefore, the Y. g. L. plenum,
sent comrade Simms out as D. o.
for the Y. G. L. to Chattanooga,
Tenn, where he worked under the
name Of Gilbert Harris"
At the Sixth National Convention
of the Young Communist League,
held in July, 1881, he was elected
to the National Executive Commit
tee Of the Young Communist
League of America.
Full of plans and energy, he set
out to work in the South, with the
full realization of the responsibilities
and difficulties facing him. For, as
difficult as it is to carry on work in
the South at this day, it was many
times more so. then, since it was ac-
tually the initial steps to route the
class struggle in the Black Belt. To
do Communist activities, vas to
conduct illegal agitation, in the
South. The lynch terror was land
is now very great. The white ruling
class did everything possible to stop
the organization of Negro and white
workers. However, with the strong
resistance Of the comrades of the
Communist Party. the Young Com
munist league and Of other revolu-
tionary trade unions and the I. l.. D.
plus the enthusiastic response from
the Negro and white workers, ac-
tivities of our movement are going
on.
At that time, the kentucky miners
n were preparing to go out on
strike, he came to Kentucky to help
mobilize the young miners. AS a
result of his activities there, a num-
Der of units of the Y. c. L. we're

His last big achievement was the

HARRY HIRSH SIMMS-he was a

self greatly honored; it was his
birthplace. Harry was born on De-
cember Is, 1911. Coming from real
working class parents, his childhood
was spent much the same way as
most working class children. He
liked to be out in the street with the
rest of the kids and play baseball.
His education was gotten from the
public school and high school and
what he read by himself. He read
books, that most boys like to read
Nick Carter, Sherlock Holmes, a
little bit of Shakespeare and an oc-
casional novel or play. AS he grew
older, he began to observe things
more closely. Becoming aware of
the fact that there was such thing
as the class struggle, events brought
him in contact with workers from
the revolutionary organizations. He
started to read working class litera-
ture and newspapers. Finally, realiz-
ing his place in this system of So
ciety, he joined unit of the Young
Communist League in his town.
This was in 1928. At that time
the Y. G. L. was very weak, young
and inexperienced organization. 1t
lacked leaders and good proletarian
youth elements. Harry showed great
and conscientiouSness Soon
he was made organizer of his unit.
During this time Che was already
out of SCHOOL, he worked as an Office
worker and then in the textile mills
Of East Hampton. Although, work
as Young Communist occupied
much of his time, his friendship
with the fellows around the blocks,
was kept up. The fellows thought
a lot of Harry. Many Of them joined

Due to the rapid growth of our
schools we have been unable to de-
vote much attention to this subject,
We find, therefore, in our schools
three types of instructors: one,
theoretically well equipped, has a
clear understanding and knowledge
of the subject, but poorly equipped
as far as the knowledge of pedagogy
is concerned. On the other hand
we have instructors who have q fair

of training new functionaries for

tracks when they sighted hand

two Brush Greek Deputies, in the
pay Of the Rockefeller coal subsi-

Recognizing Simms, Miller drew a
gun and deliberaly shot him in the
stomach. Green Lawson was ar
rested, taken away while Simms was
lying beside the tracks, bleeding for
hours, before he was brought to a
Barbourville hospital.

the district attorney from resorting
