Rdssi. It had a successful run of four years in Moscow, and was | also heralded in Germany. “Squaring the Circle” describes the | lives of two Young Communist cou- | who struggle with the present | problems of life ples, moral and social under the Soviets. | Katayev has been called the mod- | ern Moliere and his play has been | praised as one of the finest modern Russian comedies produced in Europe. Although attempts have been made previously to present modern Russian plays on the American stage, they were ‘ver quite successful. The forthcoming production however, has evoked a great deal of interest in theatrical circles, since Mr. Rossi, the director of “Squaring the Circle,” is known to be an authority on the modern Russian drama having re- cently returned from an extensive study of the stage in Moscow. ‘BILL WORKER ' SEE, We ARE REFORMING Hilvgot, Sarah Goldfarb. \ The Rank and File Committee of | Millinery Workers calis on the Mil-| FIGHTING CUT —Get Rid of Him!— By RYAN WALKER iy VANZETTI C ASE! -aterson Workers to Demonstrate Fri.

Five Paterson textile strikers will} tread the same path as the two heroic Italian workmen unless the workers of the entire country act and act at once. the direct result of a strike at the silk mill of Max Urban and is an attempt to wreak vengeance on the strikers.
