Yo} has called forth a vigorous protest from the New York State Campaign | Committee of the Commu Party. | At- the same time the Communist | Campaign Committee pointed out | that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peo- ole, which is trying to make the Ne- aro. masses believe that it is fight- ing Jim-Crowism, is in reality hi ing it by supporting the republican party, which is in control of New Rochelle. “The act of Jim-Crowiem at New Rochelle where Negro children are | sent to the Lincoln School, while all white children in the same district | are sent to tlie Webster School | which is a few blocks away, is one| of the features of the persecution} of the Negro masses by the capi-| talist class in America togay,” the{ Communist Campaign Cor mittee declared. “This Jim-Cro n is in line with all the discriminations against Negro workers and tenant farmers and with the wave of lynchings that is taking place in the United States now, due to the sfforts of the capitalists to divide the working masses and to scare away the Negro workers from rev iutionary organizations and revolu- | tionary activity. N. A. A. C. P. Fooling Negroes. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, of which such traitors to the Negro masses as Du Bois, Kelly Miller are among the leaders, is trying to fool he Negro masses by pretending hat it is fighting this act of Jim- Crowism in the New Rochelle schools. The N. A. A. C, P. is con- tinually supporting the republican party. Kelly Miller has called upon Negro workers and farmers to fall vehind ‘President Hoover in his pro- gram of economic and industrial ‘onstruction.’ The Negro mislead- rs have helped the republicans get] trol of New Rochelle and other ‘ities, knowing full well that Jim-| Crowism as well as lynching, is vart of the campaign of the capi- alist republican party against the Negro masses. “By supporting the capitalist | varties, including the “socialist”’| varty, the Negro masses are acting against their own interests. It is| mly the Communist Party that} fights discrimination, Jim-Crowism and lynchings. The Communist FASCISTS BEAT UP MAX HOELZ 300 Attack Small Group of Communists (Wireless By Inprecorr) BERLIN, Sept. 10.—Yesterday evening 300 fascists attacked a small group of Communists, inelud- ing Max Hoelz, with iron bars, bot- tles and other weapons. Comrade Hoelz was beaten unconscious and was taken to a hospital, where he recovered two hours later. He has a severe head wound and doctors operated, removing glass fragments. Fascists also attacked Commu- nists in Schoeneberg yesterday eve- ning, injuring several. Comrade Thaelmann addressed ,000 workers in Essen. There was intense enthusiasm. To Protest Barring of Witnesses Who Don’t Accept Bosses Tin God NEWARK, N. J., Sept. 10.—A mass meeting will be held this Sun- day, Sept. 14, 3 p. m., at 47 Beacon St., (Ukrainian Hall), under the joint auspices of the American Civil Liberties Union, American Associa- tion for the Advancement of Atheism and the International La- bor Defense. The meeting is called for the pur- pose of protesting against the barring of witnseses because of their disbelief in the bosses’ god. In the trials of S. D. Levin and D. W. Graham, who were tried in Judge Van Tiper’s Court last May, defense witnesses were barred be- ause of their beliefs. This month of the other defendants, Dave Rausen, John Pado, Jo¥eph Lep- tried. At this meeting it will be demanded that witnesses shall not be barred as was done on the pre- vious occasions. Twelve Negro workers, men and women, applied for membership in the Party after the meeting. One | worker pledged himself to devote all his time and energy to the Party.

For instance, when Pudov- kin wanted to film a big episode of the picture—a sort of trouping of colors—it was staged with the as- sistance of the Mongolian govern- ment. The latter let it be known that on a certain day there would be held horse races, wrestling matches and an_exhibition of ais- plane flying. In response, 3,000 horsemen came to take part in the displ: It is interesting to note that on this occasion the natives were shown the film “The Cruiser Potemkin”— probably their first experience of the movies—and their reaction to the film, their enthusiasm and re- sponsive appreciation of the story were such as to startle even the Russian party. In contrast to the initial opposi- tion of the monks to the filming of the sacred festival of masks, called -|“Tzam,” there were many groups of Mongolians who came to be photo- graphed with extreme willingness, In particular the inhabitants of one village—all former irregulars—an- ; | swered the call of the film party by carrying out a regular mobilization of all their forces. They galloped to the meeting place in military for- mation, armed with old muskets, pistols and sabres. In re-enacting certain scenes of the fighting these irregulars played with extraordinary simplicity and naturalness even in scenes which called for a very con- siderable display of emotions. An interesting fact, characteris- tic of the local conditions, was re- vealed in the party’s experiences when an attempt was made to shoot This village has 600 houses all strung out in a line. This reduced the setting to one background, and to change the latter it was necessary to move n Take Part Pudovkin Film oo “FROM “STORM | OVER ASIA.” The Mongolian workers in a vic- tory celebration scene in “Storm Over Asia,” now showing at the Cameo Theatre. the camera a mile further into the mountains. EISENSTEIN AND ALEXANDROV TURN OUT ANOTHER MASTERPIECE, “Old and New,” the film directed. Ly S. M. Eisenstein and G. W. Alex- Theatre. Eisenstein and Alexan- drov are the team that produced the famous Russian films “Potem- hin” and “Ten Days That Shook the ' World.” Critics throughout the genius and have placed them fore- most among the directors of the world. Eisenstein, the leader of Russian film making, is a young Jewish man of 32 years. His asso- ciate, Alexandrov, is also Jewish. He is but 26. For five years this team have been making films. In this film they approach the difficult subject of “collective farm- ing’—the question of co-operation between the city and the village— one of the most vital problems of Soviet Russia, and again they ac- quitted themselves as masters. They have made a film that is a work of art and document of life. UNION SQUARE THEATRES . Sovkino’s Thrilling Masterfilm HINA EXPRESS A TENSE AND STIRRING EPISOD) E OF THE.
