my point Is that in Rainbow" Mr..
stallings succeeded in writing the
type of work he should have written
for Virginia" I still think he could
have done it again If he had worked
a little harder.
A RTHUR SCHWARTZ. on the other
hand, worked hard enough. /
think he has written more exciting
scores, but his songs for Virginia" are
invariably skillful and attractive, and
the show is at its happiest when the
plot stops-as, heaven knows, IL has
a way of doing-and the singing be-
gins. This is particularly true when
the singer happens to be the gay and
good-looking Negro girl named Avis
Andrews. who not only plays the role
of maid spying for the British with
high-spirited charm, but proves that
she can put over song with excep-
tional skill and individuality. l think
the dusky Avis Andrews is quite the
find of Virginia" Next to her the
most effective player is your old friend.
John w. Bubbles. the Sportin' Life of

bles has his difficulties with some ex-

must be forgotten.
There are some other helpful con-
| tributors to the show, such as Ajax,
the fire-eater and the man who han
dies the msrionette show, but I fear
that they don't quite make up for
that endless succession Of ballets
which inevitably brings up that COM
parison with the Music Hall.
EVEN If Virginia" should turn out
to be a great commercial success,
I don't think that the problem Of the
proper type of show for the Center

all, it seems to me that the producers
are making a great mistake when they
invite that comparison with the nearby
theater by putting on what really does
seem series of prologues from the

GAS SALES OF S451, 93S

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The U. S.
Senate Civil Liberties Committee,
headed by Senator LaFollette, con-
tinues to uncover more startling
facts concerning activities detrimen-
tai to organized labor on the part of
large employers and even munich
palities.
A two-volume edition of records
gathered by the Committee presents
1872 pages of evidence concerning the
operations of strike-breaking thugs,
efficiently organized labor spy sys-
TENS and bitter competition between
firms that furnish munitions and
supplies for strike-breaking.
1t is revealed that private indus
try and municipalities bought $451,-
938 worth of tear gas and sickening
gas between January, 1888, and Sep
TENDER, 1886, although this is only
a small portion of the total expendi-
lures for anti-labor activities. The
report of the Committee is expected
to be submitted to the next session

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. The i'm
parchment of Federal District Judge
John ]. Gore 'for defying a decision
of the United States Supreme Court
is demanded in a resolution adopted
by the Knoxville Central Labor
Union.
Judge Gore recently granted an
injunction on application of 10 pow
er companies, which holds up work
on 35 major Tennessee Valley Au-
thority projects, at least until hear
ing on a permanent injunction can
be held next March.
The resolution refers to Judge
Gore as ian inferior judge" and says
that he has seen fit, for no apparent
reason, to decide the U. S. Supreme
Court was wrong.
1t was pointed out that the Su-
preme Court could find no possible
grounds to stop the Tennessee Val
ley Authority, and so decided this
year, in the Ashwander case, that
the IVA not only had the right anc
authority to build dams and power
plants, but therefore must have the
right and authority to build trans,

to be the Oldest program of its kind

The Union Label Trades Depart

al unions. 1t is generally conceded
that the affair has helped to make

stimulating the demand for union
