ONLY EXHIBITION OF “BREAKING CHAINS” SEEN TOMORROW AT WALDORF THEATRE; LAST CHANCE! | The New York exhibition of “Breaking Chains” this Sunday at the) Waldorf Theatre on, West 50th street, will mark the first and, incidentally, | the only showing in the metropolitan area according to an official an-, nouncement. This js in spite of the fact that the film could enjoy an ex- tended run on its merits alone, as a proletarian and labor motion pleture. Representatives of the press in the past few weeks have endorsed and approved of “Breaking Chains.” Party members and leaders, who have viewed the picture at a recent private showing did likewise, And we can avowedly assert that those who come to the Waldorf Sunday will embrace | a similar opinion, “Breaking Chains” is not preachy, amateurish or cheap in quality of production. 1 Readers of the daily newspapers are ‘most probably acquainted now with the contents of “Breaking Chains,” its mission in these United States, its conflicting outbursts, and.so forth, It depicts the thrilling and stirring romance of two factory workers during the turbulent sesstons of the great | Russian revolution, and the ensuing years of reconstruction, from 1917 to | 1923. And it is played entirely by artists from the ranks of workers of the Moscow Studio of the Workers International Relief. Tickets for “Breaking Chains” sell at 75c in advance, 99¢ at the door. They can be procured at these places: The DAILY WORKER office, Jim- mie Higgins Bookshop, and the hox-office of the Waldorf Theatr. All members of The Young Pioneer League will have the ‘tunity | to see the famous motion picture “Breaking Chains,” for the small admis- sion price of twenty-five cents. | The Pioneers will meet at their section headquarters on.Sunday, Feb. 6, at 12:30 p. m. and leave in a body in charge of a leader for the theatre.
