with mention of "a Chaplinesque tech

and other such hoity toity phrases.
Hearing much said about the superb
artistry. the lucid technique of his
latest opus, "A Nous la Lberte," we
rushed down to the Belasco the other
dsy to have a look It was our first
view Of q Clair Aim, and we came
away convinced that virtually every
thing that has been said about the
man is true, but that few things
might still need sayinga
"A Nous la Liberte" is in part a
satire on certain stilted stupidities OF
the machine age, and in part farce
which is very careful not to have
point. The satirical portion depicts
the deadening monotony OF prison
life in q sequence shrewdly contrived
for plot purposes, and draws
straightforward parallel between that
existence and the routine of human
automatons in great factory. by
slipping into the factory ranks
Whimsical fellow who, in a dreamy
moment, throws the whole monStrouS
system into an uproar, the author
director makes a bold point. One
mood of his berserk clown becomes
more important more vital than the
whole mass of roaring machines put
together, than the inventive and
business genius that created them.
The reductio ad absurdum is therefore
brilliantly attained. Strokes OF this
sort have earned for M. Clair repu-
tatior as an artist, an epithet widely
applied tc any one in picture business
VINO is connected with matters not
directly pertaining to the box ONCE.
IF M. CLAIR is to accept and wear
i the mantle of the social philos-
opher and satirist, it would seem
necesssry, however. for him to avoid
certain tricks. In "A Nous Ia
Iiberte' he sells his idea skillfully,
and then. evidently intending to carry
1t to q logical conclusion, hints that,
in order to set Alright the condition
he mocks, the machines should be
made to do all the work, and the
workers permitted to pass their days
ing fishing. dancing and singing.
Living, we suppose, on the pronts
generously handed out by the owners
of the machines.
This sort of foolishness seemed to
us to take away much of the luster
of the otherwise thoughtful achieve
ments Of the pictures. If M. CLAIR
wishes to argue that he is privileged
to do what he likes In fantasy, then
he may be reminded that the SUBJ
stance Of his satire is not fantastic
at all. It is real, extant all over the
civilized Western world, and too sell
dom mentioned. His essay is all the
more welcome because of its amusing
technique, but when it ceases to COM
ment and begins to preach, to plan
and to offer Utopias, there is not
much object in coming forth with
some entirely evasive answer. It
would be better simply to point at the
frailties he wishes to deride, arouse
contempt for them and pass on with
out attempting to offer a solution.
As for the purely farcical content
Of "A Nous la Liberte" it has already
brought geysers of praise squirting
forth from the critical typewriters.

comes to the National Theater Satur-

of an aunt and enjoying the Tyrolean
dance. The costumes are authentic,
having been purchased last Summer
in the Alps, and the scenery is de-

TRUCKERS AWAIT
n. Y. DECISION
Walkout to Affect Local
Shipments; Show Down
Expected Shortly

Whether or not trips Of Water
bury trucks to New York will be in
terfered with rests on the outcome
Of conference Tuesday night, at
which Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia
will discuss the metropolitan truck
ing situation with representatives Of
employers and employees. The
threatened strike Of New York truck
drivers has been so far averted, but
negotiations thus far have had little
Roadway.
Should the strike be called, the
New York local would call on Its
members not to handle or unload
either incoming or outgoing ship
ments, thereby tying up truck ship
ments from this city. There Is also
the possibility that the Waterbury
local of the International Brother
hood Of Transfers, Chauffeurs and
Helpers would refuse to hamper the
strikers by driving shipments into
New York or by unloading shipments
brought here by non-union drivers.
There Is also possibility Of truck
strike in Philadelphia. Walkouts Of
drivers and helpers In both New
York and Philadelphia would tie UP
a considerable portion Of the truck
ing industry in the east.
The New York drivers are seeking
q shorter work week, q halliday OF
a week, to be taken on any day but
Saturday, and time and half for
overtime. Settlement was reached
some time ago after Waterbury
drivers had gone on strike for wage
increases and improvements IN
working conditions.

evening he had been In q restaurant

walking up North Main street an
argument developed among the
three men and q scuffle followed.
This was about thirty feet south
from where this accident hap

the street and when about opposite
No. 500 North Main street one Of
the two men with Grishuk struck
him on the back with an umbrella.
The road Is narrow at this point
and there were cars parked on
both sides Of the street. It had

when Grishuk was hit with the
umbrella he ran from the sidewalk
and between two parked cars on to
the roadway. At this time o Con-
necticut company trolley Car, oper-
ated by Nelson Fem, Of Prospect,
was proceeding south on North
Main street. Fem had opened the
window Of the front vestibule and
was proceeding slowly, due to the
fact that cars were parked on both
sides Of the roadway for some dis
lance. When Grishuk came from
between the parked cars he was
still running and Fem saw him
pitch forward directly In front Of
the trolley car. 0rishuk was struck
by the right front corner Of the
trolley car and thrown TO the pave

was taken at once TO st. Mary's
hospital but was dead upon arrival.
