Got Call Before Dawn
The telephone call came shortly
before dawn. Chief Murphy ord
cred out an emergency squad. and
equipped them with machine guns
rifles and shotguns. The army
took posts around the block IN
which the station Is situated. and
a number OF armed lookouts pa
troiled the nearby house tops.
The eight men. together with che
one woman held with them, were
to be placed in an open lineup thit
afternoon, to be viewed by scores
OF victims or witnesses to recent
hoidups, murders and other crimes

take immediate strike action to win
their demands.
Proud Of Fact
The workers responded 100 per
cent and the Communist Party ID
proud Of the fact that II did every
thing In it's power to help them. 1t
was also reported that the COM
munist Party and Young Commun-
let Party did ADVISE the workers to
join the American Federation Of
Labor because we, the Communists
feel that In setting up an inde-
pendent union at this particular
time, and in this particular in
stance we would be playing the
role Of splitters Of the working
class. The Communist Party has
always raised as It's main slogan
Unity Of All Workers." and we
felt that the best way OF demon
strating this was to advise the
workers to join an organization
that has hundreds Of thousands Of
members. But In advising the
workers to Join the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor, the Communist
Party has not withdrawn from the
strike. On the other hand, the
Communist Party will take an ac-
tive part In the strike in an effort
to bring the strike to q successful
conclusion, to a complete victory.
We will give every possible assist
ance 20 the American Federation
of Labor In organizing the workers
into strong. powerful union.
The Communist Party will also
advise the workers to demand the
utmost democracy for their union,
for every workers to have an equal
voice in the administration Of the
affairs OF the union, to elect q
board, representative rank and Ole
committee Of the workers them
selves which will carry out to the
letter the decisions Of the entire
union.
1t 10 rumored that the union
which Ii to be organized will not
be q Waterbury local, but will be
afiiiiated to the New Haven local
of the International Ladies' Gar
ment Workers. The Communist
Party will oppose any such affilia-
ton and will advise the workers TO
demand that they be organized as q
part Of the Waterbury American
Federation OF Labor and to have
due representation on the Central
Labor Union Of Waterbury. The
Communist Party also calls on the
workers IN the Dibner Dress Shop
to also demand q local charter with
representation on the Central La
Dor Union.
Pledges Full Support
To repeat, the Communist Party
pledges It's full support to the
strike and will do everything In its
power to aid the workers, who. In
the last analysis. must be the ones.
and the only ones. who can really
win the strike. The Communist
Party calls upon the workers to
maintain q strong, militant picket
line. TO maintain the splendid spirit
and enthusiasm they have already
shown, and to give full support 10
the splendid strike committee elect
ed by them. In this way. and In
this way only. can the workers go
forward to complete and glor-
ious victory.

Picket Line!

Important Test Case


There was growing. evidence to-
day that the American Federation
of Labor considers the local strike
an important test case. Prom
inent labor leaders are already In

belief. Further evidence Is the re-
port that in a recent issue of q
national garment workers publi-
cation there was q hint OF the local
strike, which was begun only yes
terday and planned only a few
days ago.
Now that they are in the Inter-

Sammy Stars
At Howard

Featuring Sunshine Sammy OF
movie fame and the Hardy Broth
ers' Orchestra, "Harlemmania,"
faSt.moving musical revue. opened
at the Howard Theater yesterday.
AS expected Sammy steals the
spot of the show. AS the orches-
ira maestro, he leads the band
in a series of popular melodies.
At the same time he gets off some
nifty dance steps. Not new to
Washington and always a favorite,
the Hardy Brothers Orchestra
won much applause. Coleridge
Davis, popular pianist, was at the
keys.
The Three Words. a trio of tap
dancers, went through nice rou-
tine of steps and well pleased the
patrons. Lee and Swan handled
the b1ackface side of the issue
and were at times witty. Baby
White, the torch singer, went
over big in one number. AS usual
there was a fast-stepping Sepia
chorus.
On the screen High School

short subjects conclude the bill.

Edmund Lowe
At Columbia

A murder mystery known as
Thunder in the Night with Ed
mund Lowe playing one of those
conceited smart aleck detectives,
opened yesterday at the Columbia.
Clearly photographed and with
important moments presented in
slow motion, the fight film offers
a striking record of a playboy
pugilist's collapse before the pan
ther-like attack of an adversary
who out-puncheS and out-pointS
him with equal ease.
Based on Ladislaus Fodor's play,
"A Woman Lies" Thunder in the
Night" is a standardized melo-
drama of the sort in which love
ly and contented wife suddenly
finds her world crumbling about
her pretty ears when the first hus-
band she believed dead turns up
like an evil Enoch Arden for a
little far-from polite blackmail.
When this unwelcome, live dead
man is really murdered no one is
sorry except for the inconvenience
it causes the host of suspects.
There is Karen Morley as the
harasSed matron whose absence
from her boudoir at the fatal hour
requires some explaiing. There is
Paul Cavanaugh her politically i'm
portant husband, who went for q
suspicious drive in the rain. There
is the dead mans sweetheart and
vaudeville partner, frantic at the
prospect of being deserted by her
unscrupulouS lover. There is a
mind-reader, Miss Morley'S maid
and the servants in the small
Budapest hotel who may also be
considered guilty until they prove
themselves innocent.
Through the tangled web spread
over a period of several hours on a
rainy night Swaggers Mr.. Lowe,
uttering sarcastic wisecracks and
beaming with mock modesty. He,
of course, solves the crime in time
for the films conclusion, if not,
perhaps. before the audience has
identified the murderer.
George Archenbaud directed and
the cast includes Una O'Connor,
Gloria Roy, Russell Hicks, Gene
Lockhart. John Qualen, Bodil Ros.
ing, Cornelius and Herman Bing.
Bert Glennon's beautiful and un-
conventional photography is the
pictures highlight.

Oakie-GabIe In
Call of Wild
At Palace

Jack London's famous story of
the Alaskan gold country, Call
of the Wild" currently at Loew's
Palace, was evidently written as
background for the exploits of an
intelligent canine. Twentieth Gen.
tury Films used star names such
as Gable and Young but the di-
rector was wise enough to fea-
ture a beautiful, big st. Bernard
whose limpid eyes and great,
awkward attempts at carressing
melt the icyness of the picture.
Dog Is Good Actor
It's a tale of the big outdoors;
nature aids in getting the proper
setting for the play; snow-covered
mountains, rushing torrents, tall
pines, all these tend toward the
expression of primitive emotion.
Mr.. Gable as a seeker of gold,
Jack Oakie as his cumbersome
partner. Loretta Young as the
lovely objective of the fortune
hunt were not in harmony with
the spirit Of the play. Miss
Young suffered the privations Of
wind, rain, snow; treked miles
over frozen wastes and yet re-
manned as fresh as the proverbial
daisy; Mr.. Cables contribution to
rugged outdoor living was a heavy
beard; Mr.. Oakie, well, we won't
go into that.
So it remains for Buck, the dog,
to carry the tale of life among
the nuggets. Tragedy, comedy,
suspense stalk side by side through
this drama of frozen places, and
up in the far reaches of the north,
the wind howls around the cabin
and the wo.f cries to it's mate
finding an answer to that cry in
Buck, who hies himself out to
answer that wild cry in the night
Oakie's Comedy
It's a story OF he-men and their
exploits. but Mr.. Gable has gone
soft after a series of drawing
room playlets and the dash and
vigor which placed him on the
top rung Of the ladder are
strangely missing.
Frank Conway, Sidney Toler
Reginald Owen and brie1
glimpse of Katherine DeMille
furnish the support, adequate
enough.

Mouse cartoon and Hearst Metro

Child Star At
METROPOLITAN

Warner Brothers have seen fit
to thrust upon the scene another
, child prodigy. AS a rival to baby
Temple they offer us young Miss
Sybu Jason in "The Little Big
Shot" This child displays exqui-
site precocity in her mannerismS:
that with her flawless diction
helps toward putting over her
heavier moments. The picture is
at the Metropolitan for this weeks
showing.
Modern Broadway, the tawdry,
flashy, phoney locale for cheap
grafters and their cheaper rack.
cts, is the setting for this drama.
Steve. Mortimer and Jean form a
trio of kindly benefactors for
young Gloria, freshly chriStened
Countess" who has just been left
an orphan. Jean being the wiser
of the three realizes the child is
growing up in the wrong environ
merlt. Something must be done
and something is done most dra.
tically. How this is all brought
about we leave you to find out for
yourselves.
Robert Armstrong, Edward E.
Horton and Glenda Farrell are
the aforementioned three, and
the former and the latter have
no trouble in conveying the neces-
Sary hardboilednesS. Horton is
new to this type of role but with
his usual versatility he makes the
most Of the part. Young Miss
Jason, who is called upon for
every emotion, seems to have the
time of her young life. Some day
Hollywood will allow their child
stars more normal outlet. The
more narrowing moments do
them so much injustice, and seem
so feebly insincere.
Chasing gaily back to earlier
happier days we come to the Key
stone days. That is why Vita.
phone undertook a revival, "Key-
stone Hotel" The up-to-date ver-
sion embellished with sound and
sounds is still your old favorite.
It's old time pace is not lacking;
everything is there-clownings,
kickings, the inevitable pie throw
ings, and the police force replete
with Keystone's patrol wagon.
Ben Turpin, Chester Conklin,
Marie Provost and Ford Sterling
return to their alma mater to
prove that they haven't forgotten
those by-gone days.

'Crusades' at
National

An extremely brisk and satisfy
ing advance sale of seats for the
Sunday night premiere of "The
Crusades" was reported by Para.
mount executives supervising the
road showing of the Cecil B. De
Mile spectacle at the National
Theater.
Tickets for all subsequent show
ings may now be purchased at
the National Theater box office,
it is announced. All seats for this
greatest of all the great spec
tacles that have been created by
DeMille are reserved. Following
the premiere at S:45 o'clock Sun
day night, at which a host of
celebrities will be present, THE
Crusades" will be shown at PAS
p. m. and 8:45 p. m. each day.
The producers wish particu-
larly to stress that after this pro-
duction completes its National
Theater run it will not be seen
again in Washington any time
this year.
Loretta Young and Henry Will
coxen portray the pivotal roles in
this mighty, sweeping spectacle
which not only gives vivid life
to one of the greatest struggles
in all history, but reveals one
of the most unusual of all ro-
mances. Ian Keith, C. Aubrey
Smith. Joseph Schildkraut, Kath-
crime DeMille, George Barber are
the important members of the
supporting cast that numbers
more than 1000 extras.
