Fine Jobless Boys (By a Worker Correspondent.) SOUTH BEND, Ind., (By Mail).— One day I came to the City Hall. I walked down the basement facing a small crowded room with the inscrip- tion on the glass of the door: “Jus- tice of the Peace.” One-armed Judge DuCombh was in the chair. An officer armed to the teeth brought in two young workers, very poorly dressed. Judge to the officer: “What have they done?” Officer: “I found them walking on the streets late.” Judge: “What is your Where do you come from?” One came from Kansas City, the other from Missouri. The judge then asked them if they had any money to pay their fine. They were charged with vagrancy. Otherwise, he said they would go to jail. They had no money. He then asked them if they were hungry and they answered, yes At this point I thought that the judge would give them a few dollars and send them to a restaurant, but | was mistaken. The judge ordered the officer to take the boys out. “Find yourselves a job or get out of this city or I'll put you both in jail,” he said. —D. W. name? Are you a “DAILY WORKER” worker daily?

Act two shows the jury room of| the trial with the jury in the final |stages of deceiding on the guilt of) |the husband through circumstantial evidence. Although characters are |overdrawn and actions exaggerated in this scene, it provides a dramatic and interesting sequence. Then follows a scene in the city prison. New arrivals include the in- jnocent condemned husband prior to his trip up the river and several of the gangsters who were present on the night of the murder, A proposed | jail break is attempted and the hus- band refuses to make a dash for lib- erty with the others, although one of the cell inmates who was present in the night club knows he is innocent In the end the web of circumstantial evidence is directed also against this gangster, for in the break the warden is killed and in the ensuing confusion the revolver is found on this gangster. who was not implicated in the killing. The last act shows the corridor outside the death house in Sing Sing Preceding the husband to. execution is the gangster, who learns that the innocent man is following him to death. As the door of the death chamber is thrown open the boy breaks down and starts to confess the other incriminating circumstances surrounding the murder that cleat the wrong man. “Killers” is a curious mixture. of real “theatre” and hackneyed meth- ods for making points in a story that somehow does not quite succeed in arousing your sympathy to the extent it should. Still it has many elements of real dramatic worth that should assure it of at least a moderately suc- cessful run. What . “Killers” would make, and undoubtedly will make, is an excellent moving picture.

C. Duff will revive John Gay’s “The Beggar’s Opera” at the 48th Street Theatre for a four weeks’ run, starting during the week of March 26. “The Beggar’s Opera” has per- haps the most remarkable history of any work in,a musical setting de- signed for the stage. It was written in the year 1727 and first produced at the Lincoln’s Inn Theatre, London, on January 29, 1728. It was intended as a satire on the politics and crim- inal laws of the day. In the modern sense of the word it is not an opera at all; but is rather a musical play. Yhe piece had its initial American performance in a hired hall on Nas- sau Street in the year 1750. The most recent New York. revival was the Ar- thur Hopkins’ production with the Nigel ‘Playfair’s London players at the Greenwich Village Theatre De- cember 29, 1920. This revival was not successful here, but prospered on tour, The company that will appear at the 48th Street Theatre began a coast to coast tour in October of last year.

Copley newspaper interests are buying up newspapers “to spread propaganda against public ownership of utilities.” John Callan O’Laughlin, vice-presi- dent of the Copley Press, Inc., issued a statement in answer to Norris’ re- newed attack. Copley is abroad. “I wish to state emphatically,” O’Laughlin said, “that there is no connection of any kind whatsoever between the acquisition of newspapers by Mr. Ira C.
