WASHINGTON. July 1.-Senate |freshmen-the group of Democrats elected last November-have sur |prised both the old time Demo- cratic leaders and Senator Huey |P. Long.

 Little attention was paid to them except on close votes. Sitting close together and attending every ses- sion of the Senate almost as a group, they discussed among them selves developments on Adminis- tration measures. They seldom par ticipated in debate.

Suddenly the spotlight is thrown
on machine gun. AS the workers
huddle together the machine gun
begins to sputter leaden hail. Work
ers fall. The screams of the wound
ed are then transformed into the
Soviet Funeral March as the work
ers, falling into place in a funeral
cortege, carry the body of one of
their slain comrades off-stage. A
worker says: we will not forget
the murder OF our fellow workers
by the guns of the United States
government. We will not forget
Howard Sperry, James Engel, Nick
Bordois and our other fallen com
rades."
The pageant closes with the spot
light shining on worker who is
climbing a ladder while he points
upward towards a huge plaque of
Lenin. The voice of a commentator
is heard. I'm America today Lenin
lives. Organize. Fight together. Own
your world!'
The magnificent scope of the
pageant is only slightly marred by
the mechanical presentation of the
conflicting forces represented by the
labor takers and the NR.A. on the
one hand and the teachings of
Lehin on the other. When, for ex-
ample, the entire ensemble is de-
picted as being wholly r1isled by
the denaagogy Of the NR.A., a small
group Of workers, representing the
conscious vanguard in the Commu-
mist Party, should have been shown
calling on the others not to follow
their misleaders. Similarly, when
the San Francisco general strike
was broken it should not have been
portrayed as a complete defeat for
the strikers. These faults, however,
reside as much in the limitations
of the relatively static pageant form
as they do in the writer's of the
script. AS it stands, America To-
day-Lenin Lives is an important
contribution to the constantly de-
veloping American revolutionary
theatre.

manned quiet while the annouucers
held the attention of the mass of
workers, suddenly come to life. They
assume the positions Of typists and
through a series Of styled motions
type the letters N-R-A, Ok
The mass Of workers form a parade.
The aerobatic clowns of labor are
wild with joy. They eartwheel and
somersault all over the stage. The
figure of capitalist appears once
more. Suddenly the parade is trans
formed into a breadline.
AT signal the breadiine is trans
n formed back into a factory. AS
the mass begins working again, an
other Commentator says: "Lenin
predicted these false promises of
capitalist democracy. Don't be de-
ceived by these false friends of la
Dor" The workers are back at their
jobs. AS they stop to wipe the sweat
off their brows, they hear the voice
of General (N.R.A.) johnson.

WINGED of the essential rightness Of

wages, better conditions, more en-
ployment. can say without fear of
eXaggeration that capital and labor
here in the United States are
marching forward anew to security
and prosperity
A WAVE of strikes now breaks out
a among the mass. Rapidly divid-
ing into several groups, the en-
semble symbolically portrays the
strike struggles in Toledo, Minnea-
polls, San Pedro, Seattle, Portland
and San Francisco. Each strike is
represented by new group-f orma-
ton and is accompanied by the an
nouncement of a commentator off
stage. The mass is standing with
fists clenched and hands appraised
when General Johnson's voice is
heard again: eve must run these
subversive influences out like rats,
he says. Let's settle this matter.
Let's do it now"

Stirring Lenin Memorial Pageant
Produced by Theatre of Action
Tricks of Demagogues
and Labor Takers
Cleverly Scored
BY ALLEN JOHNSON

THE pageant America To-day
Lenin Lives" adapted by Al SAKE
and Peter Hymn from script by
Peter Martin and George Sklar.
which was presen tie d by the
Theatre of Action at the Lenin
Memorial meeting last Monday,
was not the least of the factors
that made that meeting one of the
most memorable in recent years.
Both in design and in execution the
pageant constitutes a marked adj
vance over previous attempts made
by the revolutionary theatre to por-
tray the influence exercised by
Lenin in the struggle of the world
proletariat to free itself from The
bonds of capitalist slavery.
The opening scene, which is in the
nature of a prologue to the scenes
that follow, depicts the murder of
worker during the San Francisco
general strike by members of the
National Guard. The prologue fades
into darkness as the voice of
hidden announcer, in the manner
of the leader of a Greek chorus, is
heard above the turmoil: The man
of whom we speak, Lenin, born in
1870, student of Marx and Engels,
was leading fighter in the strug-
gle for working class unity until his
death in 1924. Lenin never forgot
the choked whisper of the French
workers during the revolution Of
1848, never forgot the deafening
roar Of the glorious 10 days of the
Paris Commune. Lenin called the
masses to open struggle against the
mill owners, against the mine own
ers, against the nd-sellers and in
ternational bankers. The race for
profits grew madden, the imperiaiist
dogs snapped and dashed out at
each other, but louder grew Lenin's
voice, more insistant his call to
struggle. And his voice calls out to-
day"
The last of these words is followed
by the appearance on stage of a
group Of labor takers, symbolically
dressed as acrobatic clowns, who be-
gin to cavort to the tune of "They
float through the air with the great
est of ease" AS they finish their
somersaults and cartwheels they run
towards the figure of capitalist
and bend their knees to him in
characteristic genuf1ection.
At signal from some of the ac-
robats, the mass of workers is split,
although they continue to labor at
their work in symphonic move
ment which portrays groups of
workers working on a belt running
through the mass, while other
groups take boxes off the belt and
pass them to still other groups. All
work suddenly comes to an end as
the voices of the announcers are
heard. "The manager of Sterling
Motors regrets to announce" says
one. Another says: THE manage
ment of American Textile regrets to
announce" Still another says: THE
management Of Pennsylvania Steel
regrets to announce" According
ly," concludes the most resonant
announcement Of all, several
thousand men will be released"
The labor clowns, who have re-

Blanc's Footsteps" the Revolution
of 1917, Book /, PIP. 111-114)
The center of Lenin's teaching

direct, urgent, Indispensable task of
the present stage; that the objective

urgently essential for the subiec-
tive factor of the world proletariat
to become conscious of the situation
and act; and that delay could only
mean ever increasing torment,
hunger and EQUALIZATION" "the
destruction Of millions and millions
of humn beings" The two decades
since 1914 have abundantly shown
the truth Of this, as the irnperialist
world, through delay of the revolu-
ton, advances through increasing
crisis towards new world war.
| ENIN approached the problems
~ and conception of the world
revolution in an extremely living,
concrete, realistic fashion. 1t was
for him no dream of millennium
or sudden conquest of power to be
achieved overnight in few glorious
battles by the international working
class. 1t was, on the contrary, a
whole epoch, extending probably
over decades. Marx had already
written in 1851 lin his Revelations
on the Communist Trial at Co.
lcgne):
We say TO the workers. 'eY0n
will have to go through fifteen,
twenty, fifty years of civil wars
and international wars, not ONLY
in order to change existing condi-
tions, but also in order to change
yourselves and fit yourselves for
the exercise of political power"

FILM FRONT No. 8; issued each
month by the National Film and
Photo League of the WI.R., 81
East 21st Street, New York City.
Five cents.
BY HARRY KERMIT
Important to workers in the
screen industry as well as to the
general public is the editorial anal
ysis of the recent report by the
Screen Actors Guild on wages and
working conditions in the movie
field contained in the current issue
of Film Front. This newest addition
to the revolutionary cultural pub
LEGATIONS performs q valuable service
by making public and explaining the
findings of the Guild.
According to the editorial:
Excessive hours of work some
times 16 hours with no holidays, in
sufficient rest periods no pay
for overtime work, lay offs at the
uncontrolled option of the producer,
no remuneration and often cancel
lation of contracts for enforced abb
setce through over work, wage cuts
to compensate executive extrava-
gance, company union set up by
the producers as a bulwark against
possible stfikes-these are some of
the many grievances aired in the
Screen Guilds report. :"
Declaring that the problem of
the movie actor and movie extra
has gone beyond the narrow con-
fines of the Guild and the MIRA.
stage, the editorial contends ct is
now up to the rank and file of the
Screen Actors Guild, hand in hand
with all exploited actors and extras
and other film workers to take the
militant-the only way out of the
crisis"
Of interest to persons studying
the TECHNICAL aspects of movie max
ing are the article THE Russian
Cinema Before the Revolution"
translated from L'Humanite, and
Dziga Vertovs discussion of the
Kine-Eye school of the film.
Film Front would enjoy a wider
appeal if its editors took their cue
from New Theatre and featured
more popular articles although
authoritative ones. The detailed
studies of camera work problems of
direction, etc, are hardly calculated
to give the magazine mass audi
ence.

DECENTLY appearing among A

Importance and as such deserves

The introduction deals with %

problem Of the origin OF the organic

f1canee of evolution to the modern
bourgeoisie as contrasted with its

ings of Darwin as interpreted cor
rectly by Marx, Engels, and Lenin.
A chapter on the history of the
idea of evolution opens the book,
taking us from the records of the
Greek philosophers, through La
marck, on to Darwin, his life, and
his theory of evolution. Concerning
this theory, Lenin writes: Oar
win put an end to the view that the
species Of plants and animals are
disconnected, accidental, immutable,
created by god"
Geneties and selection with re-
gard to animal and plant breeding

Such difficult points as Mendels

is the one entitled Origin of Man.
Here is a complete explanation Of
the truths of evolution: vestigisl

an estimte of the nature of class

origin of man and life.

t0ns Of space cannot answer all questions
that asked by readers. We do our best
to answer those questions that have the most

Question: Do Communists support the so-hour
week? If they are in favor Of shorter work week,
then why are they opposed to the Black Connery
Bill which provides for 3O-hour week?
X. j., Newark, N. j.
Answer: Communists favor the adoption Of a
30-hour week without any reduction in weekly pay
They oppose the Black-Connery Bill, because it
contains no provisions for increased hourly rates
to compensate for the shorter work week Because
Of this it would mean wage cut for the workers.
since their weekly pay envelopes would be reduced
The Black-Connery Bill is therefore a form Of
the spreading thework policy Of the capitalist class
which wants the employed workers to bear the
burdens Of unemployment. The Communists are
fighting for unemployment insurance for the un-
employed, and for a shorter work week and higher
wages to enable the workers to meet the rising
cost of living It is important to note that all
plans to reduce working hours without guarantees
against reductions in weekly pay are all directed
towards raising the profits Of the employers.
