Do Workers Want Culture?
Yes, Say Theatre Union Spokesman, Citing Own
Experience With Worker-Audiences
By PAUL PETERS :

IN JAN. Il the Theatre Union pre-
" sented Peace On Earth" the
anti-war play by George sklar and
Albert Maltz, for the fftieth time.
BY that date $4,000 people had seen
the play and heard the triumphant
cry Of the workers at its final cur
tain, Fight with us, fight against
warl"
This is record for working class
culture never before achieved in
America. It has been achieved in
spite Of a barrier OF contempt and
silence erected by the capitalist press.
1t happened because the organiza-
ton sponsoring the play set about
its job with some definite convic-
tons on what kind OF play to pre-
sent and how to reach its audience.
The play, a militant anti-war docu-
ment, presented by a professional
cast in large theatre, has been
discussed here before. The Theatre
union had two other planks in its
platform-cheap seats that workers
could afford to buy, and plan Of
organization which would be famil-
lar to the workers.
Warmly Received by Workers Press
The play met With q warm and
hearty reception in the workers

Looking at the sea Of working class
faces at concerts, the better operas
and recitals, he feels that the task
is not futile. The proletariat is not
the beast and moron that capitalist
lies and calumnies make it out to be-
It's capacity for art is great and from
its ranks many Of the greatest art
lists have come. The newest and
most radical departures in music
have found unqualified appreciation
in these sweatshop workers, ill-paid
clerks and factory hands.
For the others who will not or can
not understand what the revolution
airy composer of today is saying,
there is need Of education and ex-
PLANTATION. Courses, lecture-recitals,
articles, all must be used to draw
them toward an appreciation Of mod
ern, revolutionary and MARKHAM mu-
sic. When this is done we may ex-
pect unit front Of understanding,
the Yastest audience in the world, and
the first honest relationship between
composer and audience since music

Music From Ether-Wave
Instrument viii Be
Played at |. W. o. Ball

NEW YORK.-ElectronS tiny specks
Of electricity which can either be
made to whistle like a picoIo, make
sonorous sounds like a cello, roll like
the boom Of 8 drum or initiate the
human voice, will be heard next Sat-
urday, Jan. ~, when Bar-Levy plays
on the remarkable ether-wave instru-
ment at the Costume Ball and Con-
cert celebrating the fourth anniver-
sary of the international Workers
Order at the 69th Regiment Armory,
Lexington Ave and 25th st. The
instrument came into prominence
about four years ago, when it was
played by Theremin at Carnegie Hall
and was used by Leopold Stokowsh
in his Philadelphia Orchestra to play
q DebuSsy piece. Bar-Levy has given
performances all over the country.
In an interview Dr.. A. W. Gold
smith,. former vice-president of the
r. G. A., makers of the instrument,
said, ANY desired volume of loudness
Of sound can be produced. Prac-
tically without effort the musician
can change from music that is the
softest whispers to thunderous
volume which would make the very
walls of the auditorium tremble. . a
child could fill the largest auditorium
in the world producing sound effects
never heard before by man." The
finest classical music can be played.
1t is controlled either from a key
board, from device like q string,
from fret board or even by merely
waving ones hands around in the air.
When Bar-LeYy plays at the TWO.
Ball and Concert he will produce the
music by waving his hands near the
instrument.
While seeming uncanny and magical
to people accustomed to the me-
chanical piano, violin, trumpet and
so on, the instrument is based on
well known scientific electrical prin-
ciples and is built of coils of wire,
vacuum tubes, linked to loud speakers.
Other features at the affair will be
a concert program by the Two. SYM
phony Orchestra Of so pieces under
the direction of L Korenman, dancing
until dawn to Sol Brayerman's double
Negro and white orchestra, and prize
awards for the best costumes. Ad-
mission is IS cents.
