no place in her cosmetic accessories.
Nature gave her exceptionally long

Margaret Speaks, formerly of
Columbus, Ohio, another popular

tone. Her lashes are golden at the
roots and she too prefers to keep them
without benefit of mascara.

Lady Suzanne wilkins, wife of Sir

Father Always First
To Sing and Dance
Says Chapayev's Son

IT cannot be too strongly empha-
sized that the hero of "Chapayev,
The Red Commander" which is
now being shown at the Cameo, &C
tually existed, just as he is por-
trayed in this remarkable film. The
following interview with his eldest
son, Alexander Vassilyevich Chap
ayey, makes this fact immeasurably
real.
Alexander is now % years old,
and student Of the Academy for
the mechanization and motorization
of the Red Army. Listen to him
as he recalls his childhood memories
Of his father:
ST remember my fathers first
days in the Red Guard regiment. 1t
was in Saratov, towards the end of
1917.
MY father took me with him to
the city. They gave him a com
pany of unframed men, chiefly
peasants, and he had to turn them
into fighting detachment.
IT lived in the barracks with my
father On the drill ground, and
during the instruction hours, I al
ways observed the bearded grown
ups carefully, as they learned how
to walk. One Of them said:
Tive been walking for thirty
years, and I thought I knew how
But Chapayev says = learn, yor
don't know how to walk yet
CIT seemed to me that my father
was very strict with his pupils.
He made them repeat the same
movement many times, often rails
ing his voice; he was very rough
with them. But he had no sooner
given the order, Dismissed then
he dropped his tone of command,
and il was difficult to distinguish
in the mass of laughing and dane
ing soldiers their superior, who a
minute before had been so stern
and exacting My father was always
the first one to sing and dance"
From his fathers comrades, Alex
ander has learned how he became
a member of the Bolshevik Party
In 1917, in full uniform, with all
the stripes he had won on the Aus
trian front. Chapayev went to the
chief of staff of the 218th Ermo-
shenk Regiment, who was the head
Of the soldiers revolutionary COM
mittee. Chapayev pointed to the
medals and decorations on his
breast and said:

Answers

This department appears daily on the feature
page. All questions should be addressed to "Que1-
tiOns and Answers" % Daily Worker, 50 Eas
18th Street, New York City
Question: Has the AAA. benefited the FARM
ers?-NewcOmer
Answer: The processing taxes levied on essential
food products have increased the cost Of living for
the worker without benehting the poor or small
farmer The money from the taxes and the other
bonuses went in the main to the rich farmers and
to the banks and insurance companies.
In 1884 the farmers share Of the national in
come was around 95 per cent although about "A
per cent of the working population was on farms.
This does not give true picture Of the poverty
Of the small farmers, since the bulk Of the income
went to the wealthy farmer. In cotton some
100000 tenant farmers were driven of the land as
the result of the deliberate restriction of produce
ton. Last November there were 100000 rural
families about 100000 persons or more than IS
per cent Of the farm population dependent on
relief They consisted Of share choppers, tenant
farmers, farm laborers and poor farmers.
)yernment survey Of small farmers showed
that the return per farm to these families in 1888
was only $3.50 for the entire year after all ex-
penses were paid
In addition the farmers are staggering under
a mortgage debt of between $8OOOOOOO0O and
s9OOO,OOO,COO plus short term debt of about
S4OOOOOOOOO
Despite the ruinous consequences of the drought
which accentuated the destructive policies Of the
A.A.A,, the Roosevelt administration has an
nounced that it will press its policy Of driving the
poor farmer off the land. The Department Of
Agriculture in its latest proposal has indicated
that 100000 more farm families are to be taken out
Of production and herded on sub-existence home
steads The aim Of the AAA. has always been to
strengthen the position Of the rich farmers at the
expense Of the poor and small farmer and to
fasten more securely the control of the Wall Street
monopolies over agriculture.

AS mentioned above, the film be-
came such a sensation that after

Pravda devoted an editorial to it.,
and that is something, because
Pravda editorials never deal with

and the flood of workers letters to
the papers show clearly that the
interest in this picture is not for
itself alone, good as it is. 1t is a
reflection of the knowledge that this

of factories but of dwellings, clubs,

Socialist construction has won,
and the Soviet worker and farmer
are beginning to reap the fruits Of
victory; they feel it in their i'm
proved meals and they show it in
their dress. The election campaign
now going on has made them still
more realize that they are masters
Of the country. The film, Cha

give an opportunity to express their
loyalty, their confidence. and their
enthusiasm for the things for which

human side and we are given an
astonishing insight into the lives
of soldiers and peasants during a
severe crisis which no medium but
the film could ever offer so salts
factorily.
What is important in "Chapayev"
is the absolute freedom from
schematic Foundations of character
or incident of any kind. In fact,
the characters appear to grow and
mature right under our eye. They
are not static types but human
beings growing and changing as
their relationships with other living
beings change and grow.
We see this clearly revealed in
the wonderful effect of revolution
airy thought and action, in the COL
lisions of Chapayev; the instructive
but undisciplined revolutionist, and
Furmanov, the Red Conmissar;
and in the beautiful changing rela-
tionships of Chapayev's guileless or
derby with Anna, the machine gun
girl. AS result of this dialectic
process we see Chapayev emerging
as figure of truly heroic proper
tons, the very marrow of revolu-
tionary ardour.
WHAT is more there is no effort
W to deform the picture by exag-
gerating one side at the cost of the
other. The White guards in cha
payev" are presented in a clear,
recognizable light, easy to find and
fight, without caricature. The I'M
disciplined Red partisans are shown
in an equally realistic light. Cha
payev's weaknesses are not spared
Backwardness among the peasants
becomes something to be fought not
by evasion but by Qualification. But
the triumph of "Chapayev" is in its
uncanny authenticity and honesty
In conclusion, the playing of Ba-
bochkin as "Chapayev" is one of
the mastery performances of mod
ern cinema. The direction of the
cast is effortless and spontaneous
to high degree. There is no striv-
ing for effect. No beautiful photo
graphs or over-expert lighting eff
fects necessary to most films which
start at the top rather than at the
bottom.
AS a result there is intensive ac-
ton in the film from start to
finish, every scene significant to the
whole and every moment dominated
by the fighting spirit of Chapayev,
the peoples hero, as he begins first
to darken then to brighten under
the guiding light of Furmanov, the

E Editorial in 'Pravda'
Considers Picture
Political Event
) &4 k@3N
By Vern Smith

MOSCOW, U.SS.R. The latest
Soviet film, "Chapayev," has, as
Pravda stated in an editorial de-
voted to it on Nov. 81, become a
political event"
I think this fact caught every
one by surprise. At any rate, no
particular preliminary advertise
ment was given the production, and
very little was heard about it while
in the process Of photographing.
"Chapapev" is not attracting the
attention it gets only because it is
particularly outstanding for pho
Biography. The matter is somewhat
deeper. The producers, the two
brothers Vassiliev, conceived the
idea of film story absolutely his
torically accurate of the last days of
one of the many Red Partisan lead
ers killed during the Civil War.
Magnetic Leader
The man selected was Chapayev,
an uneducated but personally mag
netic type, born leader and strate-
gist, who joined his band of several
hundred to the Red Army and con-
Quoted operations in the southern
Urals. The film shows how, chiefly
through the activity of the political
commissar Furmanov attached to
his squadron, the young Soviet
state and the Communist Party led
this at first undisciplined and not
very well politically grounded nat
ural leader past one pitfall after
another, and brought out all that
was best in him. Especially did they
once save him from the fatal politi-
cal mistake Of raiding the live stock
Of the peasants for food for his
forces.
Chapayev, himself, of course, was
splendid material, and the picture
brings out his determination, his
fiery zeal, combined with simple
democracy among his men when off
duty, and care for their comfort.
The picture is important, too, for
its correct evaluation of the forces
arrayed against the workers state.
AS says one of the many letters
to the newspapers from workers who
took part in the Civil War: "I espe-
cially like the way they show the
enemy, not as foolish towards, so
that people will think we won with
white gloves on, but courageous, sly,
and fighting recklessly for their

EXPLODING A FICTION

EXPLODING FICTION
It is favorite fiction of the ruling class that
they constitute superior caste who are socially
and bologicaly predestined to rule their interiors
The theory of the ruling elite is important part
of fascist theology, and is used by the fsscsts to
justify their reducing the working class to state
of servitude.
There is Of course no basis in fact for the
nonsense that the bourgeoisie are superior to the
working class. But since this is so commonly
propagated by the capitalists and their apologsts
it is we'll to cite the recent observations of DR..
David Wechsler chief psychologist of Bellevue
Hospital this point He says that ut is not true
that there is inevitably a small percentage who
are congenitally so superior to others as to make
them the inevitable rulers of their fellow-men"
He further points out that his studies have shown
that the ruling class is not composed of superior
individuals
We all know that there are physical and mental
differences between individuals Some are stronger;
some have better memories some have better
creative ability But with the exception of the
genius and the defective, the differences between
do not affect the fact that the average person
is fully capable Of participating in social and poll
tical activity. The experiences of the Soviet Union
have shown that once the masses are freed of the
curse Of capitalism, the society frees and de-
velops the latent talents in them that capitalism
suppressed.

tories were not easy to achieve"
Living History
The historical accuracy of the
film is guaranteed not only by the
fact that it is based on the book
written about Chapayev by this
same Furmanov, and on unpublish-
ed diaries of Furmanov's which his
still living wife placed in the hands
of the producers, but on the con-
slant supervision of every scene by
men and women who themselves
took part in those very same events
in person and in grim reality. The
picture is a segment of living his
tory, every single thing happening
just as it actually did in real life.

Change
the
World!
By MICHAEL GOLD

THE web of evidence against Hauptmann,
accused of the Lindbergh baby kidnap-
ing, is being drawn tighter with every wit
ness. The weakness of the defense is
demonstrated by the tactics used by
Hauptmann's attorney, the forid, windy shyster,
Mr.. Reilly. This eminent bunkshooter has been
reduced to innuendo.
Hauptmann was caught red-handed with the
ransom money. This is the basic fact in his in
dictment that cannot be talked away. He has also
been identified by Colonel Lindbergh and 'Jafsie"
as the man who received the money from them
dark night in graveyard Jafsie talked with
the kidnapper for over an hour face to face.
Lindbergh only heard his voice. Yet they are sure
Hauptmann is the criminal, but such identification,
it seems to me, is always questionable.
Under the stress of emotion, no human being
can be said to be a scientific observer. If the
verdict on Hauptmann depended only on this iden-
LITIGATION, Hauptmann would be acquitted by any
fair-minded jury But there are so many other
strongly circumstantial details against Hauptmann,
including the fatal and established fact that the
ransom money was in his possession, that big
mouth Reilly has been forced to trot out the whole
bag of tricks that every shyster knows.

HLOSE upon the first showings in
" Soviet Russia of "Chapayev'
came a flood of "reminiscences by
former comrades Of the Red Com
mander. One of them relates that
a 13-year old girl, Lidia Yagonuva,
who acted as Chapayev's orderly,
broke her wooden camp spoon and
without much hesitation went into
the home Of some peasant and
"requisitioned" metal spoon In
the next village, many miles dis
tant, the Division stopped to eat.
Chapayey stared at the new spoon.
