various pro-Franco groups, the
German-American Bund, the Chris
tan Mobilizers, and whole parade
of organizations playing the gamut
of anti-Semitism, anti Communism,
rabid nationalism, and a leaning
toward Fascism.
FATHER COUGHLIN
DENOUNCES GROUP
Though Rev. Charles Coughlin,
the Detroit radio priest, has fer
vently denounced the little New
York group recently surprised by
the G-men in the midst of their
explosive playthings, most of the
members of the Christian Front fol-
lowed his writings and speeches.
One Of the first reports on Chris
tan Front organization was carried
July 81, 1899, in Social Justice, the
publication in which Father Cough
Inns personal messages are printed
It was referred to as "a highly
organized and rapidly-growing mill
tant Christian Front" and 5000. 900
members were predicted for 1910.
"Mr John Cassidy of Brooklyn" was
listed as principal organizer. John
F. Cassidy, caught in the Genet by
the recent Department of Justice
raid, was named by officials as a
leader of the group.
Soon Father Coughlin disavow-
ed the Christian Mobilizers, an SAC

of the Front. On Aug. IA, over his
signature, he clarified his position:
''First and foremost, let all those
who are interested In either Or
ganizing the Christian Front or
joining 1t, understand that I am
neither the organizer nor the spon-
sor Of the Christian Front; and
moreover, that 1t Is not becoming
to me to identify myself with this
organization or any other organiza-
ton
However, if Christians as in
dividuals or as groups desire to
establish a Christian Front with
the objective in mind of incorpo-
rating the spirit and doctrines of
Christianity into our social life, that
is commendable. ;"
SOCIAL JUSTICE
is FRONT BIBLE
Father Coughlin then urged those
promoting the Christian Front to
carry on, and pledged Social Justice
to his announced policy.
BY Aug. % Social Justice car
ried this warning:
mo sooner had Father Coughlin
approved the fine principles Of
Christian citizenship espoused by
young men of the Christian Front,
than the enemies Of Christianity
in New York City set about on a
campaign Of confusion to divide
Christians. Pseudo Christian groups
of one sort or another will be or
ganized, and the Reds will attempt
to "buy" or plant" subversive lead
ers in the Christian Front itself. -"
Father Coughlin was drawing
back from his position Of July 80
when he permitted himself to be
introduced in radio speech as
encouraging the growth of the
Christian Front" He suggested that
Christians might have to use "the
Franco way" The Aug. 7 issue of
Social Justice had pleaded, "The
place for you, as Christian, is
on the Christian Front. Help
Father Coughlin to combat the SER
pent of Communism in America"
The Coughlin paper was from
the start the Bible of many local
Christian Front groups which be-
gan to spring up at that time. 1t
was apparently the only tie which
they had in common = they read,
and most of them aggressively sold,
Social Justice. But there was varia-
ton in the meetings and activities
of different local groups. Especially
in New York meetings WallOWed in
anti emitism, and hatred Of racial
groups was actively melted.
CHRISTIAN FRONTIERS
FOUGHT ON STREETS
Street fighting followed. Groups
of Christian Front devotees would
heckle statesmen for Communist
papers, or Jews, then join in the
fight that followed. Communist
statesmen used the same provocative
tactics on Christian Frontiers and
Social Justice statesmen. A series

THE SEA HAWK
 DRAWING CROWDS
Reckless Story of Danger. Ous Buccaneer Stars
 Popular Erf0l Flynn

All the flaming adventure of the thrill-swept Spanish Main lives again in Warner Bros.' magnificent new production of ''The Sea Hawk which is currently at Warmers State theater and drawing huge crowds at all performances.
 Starring Errol Flynn as the Robin Hood of the seas, it concerns itself with the reckless story of the most dangerous buccaneer who ever plum dered the high seas, for the greater glory of his Queen.
 Thrills, excitement, spell binding adventure, tender romance are blended in generous proportion to make 'The Sea Hawk" the years best bet in screen entertainment
 Flynn has seldom had role that shows to better advantage his mag nificent talents and compelling screen personality. He is completely at home in his portrayal of Sir Godfrey Thorpe, daring privateer who engages in piratical pursuits against Britain'S enemies.
 Warner Bros. have gone all the way in giving this picture the tops in production values. No effort has been spared in recreating the splen- dor of the Elizabethan Court, the tremendous sea battles between the English and Spanish galleons, lavish and authentic costumes and setting, yet all this is suhordinated to the richly dramatic incidents of the wiftly-moying story.
 Seldom has such a sterling cast of players been assembled for one pie ture, and each plays his role with the consummate skill of a seasoned performer. Following the brilliant lead of Flynn are Brenda Marshall in the feminine romantic lead, Flo- "a Robson, Claude Rains, Alan Hale, Donald Crisp, Henry Daniell, Mon tague Love and literally thousands of others.
 And on the same big show is the Bumstead's latest laugh riot 'Blon- die Has Servant Trouble" with Pen-
