DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 23, 1933 Page Five - MICHAEL PELL Illustrations by Philip Wolfe THE STORY SO FAR: Slim, a member of the Marine Workers Industrial Union, aboard the S. 8. Utah, has been talking to his fellow- sailors about the U.S.S.R. and the workers’ role in the class struggle. The theft of revolutionary literature from his bunk and a calling down he got from the captain has fanned interest among the sailors in what he said. As the ship nears Copenhagen, two dinners are held, one for the captain and “ss guests, = other ed the seamen. Now read on: ! INSTALLMENT NINE A Fine Union Man You-Are! LL the next day Stanley kept praying, “Oh, God, let us dock before the banks close, so we'll be sure to get a draw!” But the prayers didn’t help,. Tt was seven before the... eagerly-awaited “All fast” was heard. The men tack- led the gangway in a hurry, casting thirsty glances at the Capella bar which stood inside the free harbor gates. Eight or ten prostitutes lined the dock already, waiting to relieve the sailors of their money and’ feel- ings. The passengers’ relatives and company agents arrived in taxicabs, and there commenced a lot of hand- kerchief waving and bowing from dock to ship and from ship ‘to dock. The Danes removed their hats about two feet from their heads in salut- ing the ship's officers, but the mate stood up on the bridge, cockey as & spread eagle, his precious hands in his pockets, with a 45-degree angle to his cap. As soon as the gangplahk was | down the men beat it back aft'to get washed and into shore clothes. Word | had been passed around that the company agent was bringing’ draw money on board, and the Cadets came around with a sheet for-each man to mark down how much he wanted. Pretty soon a familiar Cop- enhagen face appeared in the fo’-; castle—the travelling barber, a ratty- faced skinflint, holding a black doc- tor's bag. “Hello, boys, first class | haircut, one kroner.” Ps * * IRETTY scon the bos’n appeared, etching his bald head with the gloves and made for the door.

By LOUIS COLMAN When the Southern Worker was ré-established in Birmingham last May, after more than @ year's sus- pension, the Negro and white toil- ers below the Mason and Dixon line were entering into a phase of inten- {sified struggle.

TODAY'S FILMS “Voltaire,” Starring Arliss, Js Shallow and Distorted “Historical” Film | Warner Brothers’ favorite old curio | and * Hollywood’s famous historian to the screen the historical drama, “Voltaire.” An advance pub- licity note said that “all the details had to be exactly right, for Mr. Ar- liss 1s pretty much the boss on pro- ductions with which he is associated, and he is @ stickler for authenticity.” Well, strike me pink! If I hadn't seen Mr. Arliss’ previous attempts at historical interpretation I might have almost believed that statement. “Dis- raeli” and “Alexander Hamliton” were bad enough, but “Voltaire” takes the cake. Not only has John Adolfi (the director of most of the Arliss pictures) gone from bad to worse in his direction, but the pro- duction sports some of the worst photography and lighting that has been seen on the screen for a long time. I would also like to go on rec- ord as saying that this is the most inaccurate and distorted of histori- cal films, George Arliss and the director make. no attempt to establish the character of the famous French phil- osopher and agnostic. All of Arliss’ snorting, hand-clasping, twitching eyebrows makes him look like a poor imitation of Jimmy “Schnozzle” Du- | rante. The film remains as shallow as Arliss’ acting and as false as the | authors’ scenario. The film deals with only one incident in Voltaire’s crowded life and an important one in French history: the famous Callas case, es The film gives us no picture of the social and economic setting of the period. In the movie one of the Callas daughters comes to plead her tee Hh case with Voltaire. She eae necessary love interest by ¢ | falling for Voltaire’s young secretary. No mention is made of the dead son who caused all the trouble. Not a word about Madame Callas and the other daughter who is supposedly in @ convent with her sister. Nothing is said about any court action. The famous Madame Pompadour— the | “Savage Gold” at the Cameo Is Unconvincing Picture of Jungle Exploitation Without stopping to doubt the authenticity of this adventure pic- ture, it may still be said that “Say- age Gold” proves to be no more than passably interesting. This ac- count of an expedition into the torrid jungles of Ecuador in order to rescue the lost comrade of the explorers from the Jivaro Indians has its novel and fascinating fea- tures at times, but the times are few and far between. Somehow, the film fails to suggest the hor- ror, one intimates, that the picure set out to portray. The courage and hardihood of the explorers win our admiration, and we marvel at this survival of the age-old restlessness, which leads men to wander like nomads over the face of the earth, But since the film offers few enter- taining moments and has no evi- dent scientific value, it can hardly be recommended as worthwhile. And, unlike the constrictor that devours a} ratt’>snake in “Savage Gold,” we can hha. bo expected to swallow the Picture whole. One point every travel and adven- ture picture never fails to re-em- Phasize for us: The latent power in the camera as an educational instru- meat, One travel picture is worth, at least, ten geography books, In this respect, even “Savage Gold” offers its minimum of value, since it does serve to remind us that there are expanses beyond our vision. And the provin- cialism from which many of us have not yet freed ourselves suffers a blow. —FRANCIS ANTICO. mistress of King Louis, the mistress of France, and the friend of Vol- taire, is instrumental in saving the life of the Callas girl so that she can marry (!) the young secretary. The film ends with La Pompaudour as the real hero—or heroine. Doris Kenyon as the famous French pros- titute looks like an 18th century edi- tion of Mae West. —IRVING LERNER.

And that was the task assigned to the Southern Worker. Struggle Under Illegality Struggling against illegal condi- {tions of work and of publication, | against the almost incredible pover- ty of the workers, the Southern dis- trict has so far this year published four numbers of the paper. ‘In the first, an editorial written in the simplest language told the work- ers that this was their paper, pub- lished by “The Communist Party— snown also as the ‘Reds.’” And ac- tually, on the average one-quarter of the paper is written by the work- ers themselves, in the form of work- ers’ correspondence. ‘The balance of the paper is very close to what it ought to be—news of working class struggle and exposure of conditions in the South, told in ordinary .but colorful language, Pointing the way to organization and developmient of struggle under the leadership of the Communist Party.

The Share Croppers’ Union is the organization of struggle for all workers on the land, and the organ- ization which hrings about the unity of Negro and white croppers, ten- oppression of the big landlords.
