Clever Comedy
Is Offering Of
Civic Players

The next to the last production of
the Civic Theater this season,
Three Cornered Moon" is most de-
lightful because of the clever way in
which it pokes fun not so much at
the depression as at wealthy fam
lily which goes broke because Of the
depression.
Madcap, gay, frivolous and as
funny as the name they bear, the
Rimplegars, a typical American
family, get in one jam after another
much to their CONSERVATION and to
the audiences amusement.
They lose their entire fortune be-
cause Mrs. Rimplegar has made bad
investments in Wall street; the
children are forced to work; and the
time comes when they even go
hungry.
The story starts off with the fam
lily living off the fat of the land, an
inherited quarter of million. Ed
is in college; Douglas wants to act
and is always rehearsing; Kenneth
wants to be a lawyer but he has a
girl who is running him ragged.
Elizabeth is in love--or thinks she
is--with the LATEST young embryo
author in Brooklyn" He has been
kicked out of his boarding house
and he promptly comes to live with
and off the Rimplegars.
The family fortune vanishes over
night. DR.. Alan Stevens, the fam
lily physician, gives them some words
of friendly advice. He suggests for
one thing that they take in board
ers, and to help the family out he
becomes the first.
There is a battle for the hand Of
Elizabeth between the two boarders
Stevens and the author, Donald
The whole play becomes a frolicking
bedlam and the startling and anus
ing climax tops everything that has
gone before.
The cast is as follows:

ATLANTA, Ga. March 3d.
Small overland circuses, chief en-
tertainers of rural America half
century ago, have reclaimed
popular favor to such an extent
that Is or more will hit the viii
lage-to-village trail this season.
OF course the horse-drawn We
hicles of the old wagon show days
are gone, but motor trucks pre-
serve the spectacle of the cross
country procession vending its
way at dawn from one small town
to another.
When it comes to performances
under the "big top, the little mo-
torized shows pattern after the
big outfits that travel by rail
Gone like the wagons are "per-
sonal acts" that made John Rob
inson's name a household word

first one started in 1925-all are
expanding gradually. Like other
enterprises. they were pretty hard
hit financially during depression
years. But last season many
made enough money to wipe out
old debts and accumulate little
surplus.
Elephants Like 1t
True to the traditions of their
guild, the overland shOwmen have
ironed out kinks in transporta-
ton and move on a punctual
schedule. Transporting herd of
elephants 40 to so miles overland
daily might seem impossible to
the uninitiated-klt it's really
simple matter if you know how.
Just get a strong truck for each
member of the herd. Then tell
MARY" or Jumbo" to crawl in
and the rest of the journey is sim
pie. The elephants really enjoy
the ride it seems, and much coax
ing is necessary to get them out
of the trucks at the next town.

some OF BELIEF
VOODOOISM NOW
PRACTICED HERE
BUNDLE CONTAINING BEANS
AND MANI OTHER AR
TICLES FOUND ON ONE OF
GRAVES AT CEMETERY

On the grave of a young man
in the local cemetery there was
found this week a bundle contain
ing red beans, white beans, black
beans, the body of a white pigeon,
the giblet of the bird and SIX cop
per pennies.
When discovered it was at first
thought it was a bundle careless
ly cropped but after investiga-
tions this theory was discarded
and others entertained.
Those superstitiously inclined
gave voice to the idea that some
one was working "Obeah" on an
enemy and the person that inter
fered with the working of this
dread demonstration would suf-
fer all kinds of dire calamities.
Whether it was an attempt at
the practice of Obiism, vOOdooism
or some other alleged form of
witchcraft, the fetiches, if such
they were intended TO be, were re-
moved by the city sexton, Otto
Bethel, and all evidences of the
silly gesture removed.
1t is a we'll known fact that in
some parts of Africa and some of
the countries in South America,
the practice of these so called
black arts is carried on more or
less extensively.
In certain parts Of the back
country of Cuba, it has been said,
there is a society known as
Nanigos who practice voodOoism
and the rites are wierdly celebrat-
ed and carried out by the mamaloi
or papaloi.
However, it is hard for a resi-
dent of Key West to imagine that
in this community there are be-
levers in this form of ridiculous
ly criminal worship, and in the
opinion of several, who have
spoken to The Citizen about the
incident in the cemetery, the
whole idea was arranged as a
joke.
If it was intended as joke,
said one Key Wester, the joker
must have terribly perverted
sense of humor to use the resting
place of somebody's loved one as
the scene of the idiotic demonstra-
ton.

The modern overland circuseS
resemble the wagon shows in that
most of them are strictly family

the proprietor's wife and children

fascist developments in the United States; against
RooseYelts strke-breaking truce; for rank and file
democracy in the trade unions, and for the or
ganzation Of the unorganized; against the grow
ing danger of war.
There should be no delay in the establishment
of the united front between Socialist branches and
nists in the trade unions because the Cahans and
Waldmans see fit to block it in order to aid the
New Deal program OF Green, Vol, German and
Ryan.
Every Socialist should now see that the Com
munst Party is the most persistent, most energetic
fighter for the united front. The basic reason for
this is that the Communist Party represents the
real interests of the working class and in the
election campaign its program is the best program
against the New Deal and to speed the fight for
the establishment of workers government in this
country, which would lead to the building OF social
ism.
vote for the Communist Party is vote for
the fighter for the united front. vote for the
Communist Party will strengthen the force striv-
ing to achieve the united front, despite all OBJ
stacles, vacillations and outright sabotage.
vote for the Communist Party is a vote
against fascism and war.
Every Socialist worker who smarts under the
knowledge of the shameless resistance to the united
front on the part Of the Cahans and Waldmans
should not vote for their program in the present
elections. The greater the Communist vote the
greater the forces will be for the united front front
Socialist workers, vote Communist!

Continued from Page y

Of the Socialist Party membership which the
Cahans and Waldmans are trying to thwart just
as they vicously attacked every left" expression
whiting the ranks Of the Socialist Party.
To block this development for united front
among the Socialist Party members the Socialist
leaders have taken some drastic action that should
arouse all Socialist Party members. In Milwaukee,
Party member for two years, was expelled for en-
tering into united front actions with Communists.
The New Leader declared that this course is in
consistent with disciplined organization; but
the united front with the worst enemies of labor
such as German, Green Ryan and Vol is of
course consistent with the wishes of the reactonary
Cahans and Waldmans.
But these saboteurs of the united front will not
be able to stop the mounting desire and yearning
for the united front among their own membership.
They have declared before that the Communists
wanted the united front only from below When
the Communist Party addressed them time and
again for immediate negotiations on the united
front, they move closer to the A. F. Of L. strike
breaking bureaucracy and put every obstacle and
impedment in the path of the realization of the
united 'front.'
Despite their actions, the united front will be
achieved through the actions Of all honest workers
realizing its extreme necessity at this time. The
Communist Party calls on all Socialists, in their
branches in their county and state organizations
to take steps for the establishment of the united
freedom of Ernst Thaelmann and Cabalero; against
