Douglas Fairbanks

Douglas Fairbanks belonged to an
era which is passing. His death, at
f1fty-six, reminds his contempo-
raries that they have ceased to be
young. He was definitely identified
with period in motion picture pro-
duction which, though excelled later
in technical excellence, has in itself
not been surpassed. He was, in fact,
responsible for the success Of more
than few of the outstanding
achievements Of the cinema. The son
of lawyer who loved Shakespeare,
he grew up in the atmosphere of the
theater. His professional debut was
made when he was but sixteen.
Though friends persuaded him to try
other fields Of effort, he knew In his
heart that the stage afforded the
career he wanted as nothing else did.
His first motion picture was "The
Lamb" produced by David Wark
Griffith, master never excelled by
any later genius. The time was ripe
for the development OF a Hollywood
aristocracy.
Mr.. Fairbanks, however, was not
submerged in the partnership which
included Charles Chaplin and Mary
Pickford, as well as the sponsor of
the classic Birth of a Nation" He
carried his full share of the burden
Of the work, and deserved an equal
portion of the profit and the fame of
the United Artists. In "The Mark of
Zorro" robin Hood" "The Three
Musketeers" and Don @" he played
romantic roles which were equally
popular with sensitive critics and
with the multitudes. His Thief of
Bagdad" was a dramatic victory un-
paralleled. The spectacle of it might
have swamped another actor. It
served merely as a background for
its star.
But Mr.. Fairbanks was something
more than a talented hummer.
Those who knew him we'll admired
him unreservedly. He was chivalrous
and gallant, courteous and kindly,
gentleman of a distinction which did
not need to be explained.

party or the advancement of socialism.
That survey convinced me that the or
ganizers of the Communist party, among
whom were many Russians, were so
pent on domination that they would
rather have their own way than get
what they wanted.
The Communists accused the Social
lists Of being weak and wobbly, of being
compromisers and un-Marxian, and the
Communists were right The Socialists
did, and I think still DO, believe in
achieving results by peaceful agitation
and democratic action. Any one who
studies Marx and his successors, Lenin,
Trotsky and others, knows that peaceful
legal agitation is no part of the doctrine
and any one who knows the Commun-
lists and their beliefs and power to act,
knows that their belief, purpose and in
tent, as fundamental as the belief of
Christians in the divinity of Christ, is to
seize power by force and violence. And
also that any denial of that belief and
purpose by any Communist individual
or organization is wholly false and
purely expedient, made only from neces-
sity and temporarily.
Twenty years Of reflection and OBJ
servation have convinced me that while
theoretically at least it may be true that
unless those who control the earth to-
day are dispossessed of power by force,
and doubly true that whatever there is
of good in communist or socialist Or
ganization of society cannot be insti-
tuted by force. Russia proves that.
Twenty-Five years ago Communism
seized power in Russia and I believe
Lenin and his associates were wholly
sincere in their intentions and purpose.
For nearly 20 years, Lenin, his associates
and successors. have been in undis-
turbed possession of power. And today
Russia is an autocracy far viler than
that of the czars. And that because of
what the rulers Of Russia and their
subjects are. No man and no small
group of men can be trusted with power.
Neither the good OF communism nor any
other good can be organized on a per-
manent basis until large preponder-
ant majority of those concerned have
the knowledge and intelligence to in
stitute it and the alertness and char
acter to maintain it. And that does not
require force, but democratic methods.
Force can only establish the Dictator
ship of the proletariat, which will soon
degenerate as has Russia into the die
tatorship Of small coterie of leaders
or of the strongest leader for their or
his own ends. VIM. BROSS LLOYD.

The Bremen Aooin

Apparently once more safe in her
home port. the adventurous German
liner Bremen begins to qualify as
foundation for new chapter in the
legends OF the sea. Certainly the
story will not be forgotten by the
men who chung to her sides, painting
her gray as she sped through the
northern seas with open drums of
gasoline on her decks, ready to be
turned into gigantic torch at the
instant of seizure.
But those yarns will be little more
implausible than the official an
nouncements concerning her latest
voyage from Murmansk to Germany.
The British government reports she
was sighted within torpedo range by
a submarine which declined to at
tack because warning could not be
given. And Berlin as solemnly states
that an attack on the Bremen would
have been violation of international
law, since she was. not conveyed
despite reports that she was accom-
panied by German aircraft. More
credible would be an explanation
that her speed is two to three times
that of a submarine, and her possible
capture In the future would be of
greater value than her destruction
now.
For certainly the Bremen is not to
lie idly in her home harbor for the
duration of hostilities, unless she
made the dash from the Russian
Arctic in anticipation of break be-
tween Hitler and Stain. Her speed
and cruising range fit her admirably
for work as a commerce raider and
supply ship for submarines operating
in distant waters. For this her ef-
fectiveness depends upon her ability
to elude the British blockade. Twice
she has succeeded spectacularly.
At a distance of four thousand
miles speculation is difficult. But
perhaps the British are waiting for
the Bremen's third sortie in a role
which will not give her the protec-
ton international law affords uncon-
voyed merchant ships.

THIS AND. THAT
By Charles E. Trdce,ueH.

Appearance Of strange animals in
suburban yards will be greeted with
interest, not fear, If people are sensible
enough to regard such visits as adven-
lures.
There are great many more ways to
go a-venturing than to the North or
South Poles, or the tropic seas.
One way, and very good one, is to
be willing to regard things which hap
pen as adventures.
This is mental, to be sure. Did not
Hamlet tell us that nothing is either
good or bad, but thinking makes it so?
The adventurous mind may exist
quietly at home, with no more aid than
a pair OF eyes, or ears, or q piano or
phonograph, or a book.
Music, for instance, may be q great
adventure.
But how many poor people there are
who refuse to take the journey!
Even young folks, commonly regarded
as summing up the Spirit Of adventure
often are remarkably timorous when it
comes to launching their spirits bark
into the musical unknown
Here on your modern photograph and
records you have some beautiful and
adventurous music to stimulate the
young and growing mind.
The young and growing mind, how
ever, Is as conservative as can be.
1t refuses to take step except along
well-worn musical paths.
It refuses to listen, in other words.
Turn on something it knows, and it
smiles. but give it something it has not
heard. and there is no look of apprecia-
ton in those vitamin-crammed eyes.
No, those bright eyes are as dull as
dull can be. because that good mind has
signaled, mo thoroughfare.
Young folks can be, and often are,
the most conservative people in the
world.
Doddering old idiots cannot hold a
candle to them when it comes to that
bad self -sufhciency which bars out all
the strange.
This putting up the bar to adventure
causes lack Of appreciation in all the
arts, but particularly in music, because
it is the most fragile. 1t can be reached
quickest, and ruined most easily, be-
cause in sense it does not exist.
Did you ever stop to think that music,
in very real sense, has no existence
at all?
Those notes on paper are not the
music. They are just symbols which
stand for music.
The tones of instruments or voices,
which make the real and true music,
last only for few seconds.
1t Is as If the air were a great sheet

Freedom to Work

Inc logic penlnd the majority
opinion of the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals in New York that
provisions of the National Labor Re-
lations Act do not circumscribe an
employers right to hire whom he
pleases would seem so obvious as to
be incontestable.
A basic purpose of the labor law,
stripped of its window dressing about
removing obstacles to the free flow
Of interstate commerce, is to protect
workers in their right to form or
join organizations of their own
choosing and to bargain collectively
with their employers in something
approaching an equality of strength.
1t was not intended, surely, to set up
a preferred class of American work.
men-those already or willing to be
members Of employe organizations
and to say that henceforth only
these should be given employment.
That this condition prevails in
certain industries or in certain indi-
vidual enterprises has arisen through
the workings of the collective bar
gaining principle with the employer
agreeing in verbal or written con-
tract to select his employees from
union lists. In such circumstances
the employer presumably has en-
tered freely into the agreement, quite
a different matter from having a
third party such as the Federal Gov-
ernment impose upon him by law
the requirement of hiring union men
only, or one-legged men only, or
men with blue eyes only.
Yet to say that an employer must
not refuse employment because of
an applicants record of union aff1lia-
tion-as the Labor Board and the
minority of the Circuit Court assert
may not be done-is only a step re-
moved from an order that all appli-
cants for employment must first Join
union. Such gigantic stride to-
ward a closed shop for all industry
would be rank discrimination against
millions of would-be workers; many
OF whom have honest and logical
reasons for not desiring to join labor
organizations, others OF whom might
even be denied admission to some Of

Of blank paper, on which the famous
moving finger writes, but this time, in
stead Of nobody being able to blot out
a single line of it. nobody is able to keep
single word of it.
Tones are succeeded by tones, but in
the end the blank page" of space is as
white as it was before, except for the
nasty sound of applause.
Why can't somebody do something
about applause?
Surely, the smacking Of hands to-
gether constitutes poor way to show
appreciation for prior beauties of sound
1t is spontaneous action, no doubt
OF that, with the hearers making use
OF the "handiest" instruments available
at the time. But no one can regard it
as good sound they make, or one
worthy of music, itself, or even of the
human race. Certainly if we put our
minds to it, we could evolve a system
of applause which would do justice to
the loveliness Of our music. 1t is worth
thinking about, anyway.
\ 4
The open mind Is essential, for any
human who wishes to go a-venturing
in this good way.
Instead of freezing up at the strange,
and new, he must welcome it as chance
to use his mind
In this way every sunset becomes a
feature, every sunrise a thing -to-be-
talked about.
One does not have to be a philoso-
pher, or an artist, or a scientist, or
anything else. but simply one who re-
fuses to show prejudice as an instant
reaction.
The strange small animal in the yard
is it lion?
No. Then why be afraid of it? In a
few minutes it will go away on its proper
animal business.
In the meantime, be glad it has come,
and take the time to be adventurous in
mind and spirit.
See its beautiful coat Wonder how
nature made it so neat and trim. Any
one might envy such coat.
Note the sparkle in its bright little
eyes.
1t is glad to be alive, just as we all
ought to be. Its bright glances are its
way of thanking the Lord for the in
estimable gift which has been given it.
So, if we will, we can all go adventur-
ing, without so much as stirring from
behind the window pane, or getting out
of our chair.
Suburban residents are blessed, in the
amount and variety of wildlife which
comes. There are no tigers or lions
hereabouts, or wolves. Creatures which
wander through will wander out and
away, if they are let alone.
