Slim. has been talking to his fellow-workers about the class struggle and what they can do about it. He signs the Chief Engi- neer up with the M.W.LU. In Leningrad, the sailors of the Utah are continually being surprised by the new life they witness in the Soviet port. Through conversations with American-born workers in Lenin- grad, they learn what “propaganda” actually means.

Everybody agreed. Eddie and the Polack made up a list and went around with. it. In 15 minutes they had $30 plédged.

The skipper was anxious to get under way the first minute possible and asked the Sovtorgflot for a pilot to take the ship out at 5 o’clock the next morning. Eddie was night watchman and according | to instructions, he woke the cook and messman at 4 a.m. At 4:30 he called the mate. “Did you get the cook and mess up?” growled Calder half asleep and_drunk. “Yes, sir.” “All right. Now go back and wake up the bos’n and crew} Tell tem to be ready to stand by fore and aft in 15 minutes.” “Yes, sir.” Eddie got the bos’n up, then he tackled the men. “Rise and shine, fellers! Got to stand by in 15 minutes!” Nobody stirred. He started shak- ing the men one by one.

When he returned to the fo’- castle all the men were still in their bunks. “What did the mate savy’ asked ‘tanley. Eddie broke out laughing and told them. “What time is it?” “A quarter to five.’? “Ts the pilot on board yet?” “No they’re waiting for him.” “Well, to hell with them. They can wait for us, too.” 3 And nohody _ stirred. Eddie Srinned. He didn’t know whether to go back on deck again or what. Pretty soon the bog’n stuck his bald “All right, fellers. The pilot’s just come on board, and every- body’s waiting on us.” The men started getting into their dungarees, filling the air with groans and curses.

FLASHES AN D————_ CLOSE-UPS Le BY LENS Several months ago I witnessed the rare sight of a large audience sitting. enrapt and stirred throughout the screening of a film . . . The print was over-contrasty, scratched, spotty, and fluttered in the projector now and then to make steady attention hell- ishly painful. But there they sat, conquered heart and brain as they had never been before by a film... It was Pudovkin’s cinematic tran- scription of Gorki’s famous novel, “Mother” they were seeing .. . A perfect print of this same masterpiece will be projected in various cities on Ed. Royce’s tour for the Daily Worker. ie, eee , Bravo! John S. Cohen, Jr.... He simply refuses to be kidded by Sinclair's still-born monstrosity, “Thunder Over Mexico,” and says so for all to hear in the New York Sun...

Empty boasting, 15 per cent. pe ale A medico writes to the Times com- plaining bitterly about the distor- tions and improbabilities contained in the film, “The Girl in 419”... Hollywood works on the theory that if the audience will watch s cow’s tail become a shaving set and a chair manicure its limbs in a Mickey Mouse cartoon, then certainly it will fall for the idea that doctors are kind to their patients, that gangsters love to go to art galleries, and head surgeons in hospitals invariably answer am- bulance calls... . It’s a cock-eyed theory, though. . . . Step into your neighborhood movie house any day in the week and you'll discover the source of the sleeping sickness epi- demic that’s been puzzling the coun- try for some time. .. . The audience falls for that stuff, you say? ... Yes— asleep!... “What would you do if all the re- strictions of which you complain were removed and freedom given you to create as you please?” I asked Rene Clair, famous French director, some three years ago. “I’d go back to my poetry,” he replied with a world- weary yawn... . Yesterday I learned he was on his “road back.” ... Jacques Feyder, another French di- rector recently back from Hollywood, says he “will not photograph stage- plays until the day when I will be compelled to work for a living.” . .-. It has become fashionable among Eu- ropean bourgeois film intellectuals to repeat: “The cinema is dead.” .. . only insofar as they admit the truth. . ++ What would our own directors be doing today without the bagful of “New Deal” tricks to keep them afloat? ... eee “Paul K.”; The bourgeois film has .thus far failed dismally to’ find a solution for the structural integra- | tion of sound, sight, music and the | spoken word into the film. This is not something that can be done with- out an understanding of the laws that govern the construction of a filmfrom its component strips or pieces (montage). One can sometimes improvise on the piano without knowing ‘the first thing about musical science, but the limitations are obvious. Hollywood has for many years been playing on the gigantic “piano” of the film with- out having ever taken the trouble to study “notes.” Now and then there have been a few tolerable strains, but the rule has been an ear-splitting cacaphony. - 6 The introduction of sound has com- pletely bewildered and confused the Hollywood director who has been forced to retreat to the haven of the Photographed stage-play. Now there is setting in an even more reaction- ary tendency, that of a return to a revamped silent film, the first sample of which is being peddled under the “Narratage” label. This is a clear and final admission of the failure to solve the problems as demanded by the introduction of word and sound. Need I dwell on why this is being hailed as “a revolutionary advance”? Definite, though faint, indications of an early solution of the problem of sound-sight orchestration are to be seen only in Soviet films like “Golden Mountains,” “Alone,” and one or two others. It is bound to come from the Soviet Union where there is simply no retracing one’s steps once a prob- lem is faced. Its solution there is only a question of time. In Hollywood ar- tistic reaction keeps pace with de- moralization and ideological bank~ ruptcy, and to expect great art to flourish on such soil is simply a fail- ure to see the relentless process of decay which is characteristic of all bourgeois art in this period.

Appleton & Co. $3.00, 3) ie le Reviewed by ALAN CALMER “Other Fires,” which was recently} translated into English, is the third | book of a lengthy novel dealing with} Russia during the period of the 1905} Revolution. Clim Samghin, a radi- cal intellectual, is the central figure of all three volumes. However, he! really serves as a camera eye through | which we observe the development of | the class struggle in Czarist Russia | around the turn of the century. In) the two earlier books, “Bystander” and “The Magnet,” Samghin is car- ried through the early stages of the | Russian revolutionary movement,| from the beginning of working-class | struggles to the revolutionary out- burst which followed the massacre of | thousands of workers who marched | to the Winter Palace on the “Bloody Sunday” of January 22, 1905. The narrative is resumed in “Other | Fires,” which opens with an episode) of the Moscow insurrection inf Decem- | ber of the same year. During the! entire struggle, Gorky was in the| thick of the fight, and his account of this period rings unusually clear and true. Samghin, who by this time is a mild Bolshevik sympathizer, wit- nesses the rise and destruction of a workers’ barricade in his own street. Through his observations and expe- riences we trace the slow, stubborn retreat of the workers, and then the spreading white terror which accom- panied the period of reaction. Spirit of the Masses ‘With perfect artistry Gorky indi- cates the fighting spirit of the masses. Clim, the hesitating intellec- tual, is puzzled by Kakov, the Bol-} | said. ‘Life is impossible-for the: pea- shevik worker, who commands the | street barricade and. who takes his job with a complete lack of theatrics. Clim “was surprised ta. find Yakov | devoid cf any striking peculiarities. An ordinary face, such as one often| Saw among railway guards, except that the eyes had an unusual in- tentness. The faces of Kalitin and of several other workérs had con- siderably more characte to them.” Samghin, retreating from Moscow, | listens to an army officer's account of the Russian peasant in the revo-| lution: “‘So shoot me—I merit it. Only it won't help matters, -sir," he sants. They will keep rioting. And you can’t shoot them all’” Decadence of Intellectuals “Other Fires” concludes with a lengthy description of the decadence of the Russian intellectuals after the failure of the revolution. Never an intrinsic part of the ‘revolutionary movement, many of them move away | from it to toast their backs at “other fires’—the fires of religious faith and sexual degeneracy. | Gorky’s position in world literature is so lofty and his popularity so wide- spread that most of -his-books have | been translated into English -and is- | sued by bourgeois publishers. Amer-| ican workers and intellectuals should | read or re-read his volumes of short stories, his autobiographies, and his epic novels like “Mother” and “Deca- dence,” as well as “Bystander,” “The Magnet” and “Other Fires” for first- hand proletarian studies of.. pre- revolutionary Russia, They wil) find in these volumes many parallels to their own situation in pre-revolution- ary America. * ) different time. Workers School Fall Term To Open Sept. 25 NEW YORK.—The Workers School, 35 W. 12th St., has started registra- tion for the fall term, which begins on Sept. 25. The school has added a number of new courses to the curricu- jum and increased its staff of in- structors, Special efforts are being made to reach unions and other mass organi- zations in order to get. more workers as students. The school is offering reduced prices for those who come from organizations with special schol- arship credentials, which have- been mailed this week to all.organizations. Those who plan to study at the school this fall are urged to register very early in order to avoid being disappointed, as the classes, being | limited, fill up quickly and more stu- ! dents are not accepted after the} classes are filled. An attractive and | detailed new booklet describing all | the courses and full information may | be obtained at the office of the Work- | be School, 35 East 12th Street, third | loor, | Jersey Mooney Conference.

The objective of this club is to receive the Soviet radio stations, | especially RV59, regularly. “At our meetings the members dis- cussed their experiences in receiving RV59. The results were sad. Very few picked it up, and those who did could not pick it up very. often. “We therefore agreed to ask you to, put through a test from October 15 to October 21 inclusive, or any other convenient period, providing you in- form us of the date in advance.

Woodruff, SOVIET RUSSIA TODAY. By JULIUS KARSTEIN. The pack is in full ery. Pope, Cardinal, Hitler, Russian emigres, | White Guardists and capitalist press. | All in the same key; all in the same lyrics, “Starvation, cannibalism, and terror are rampant.” Where? In the capitalist world where millions are unemployed? Where strikes are suppressed by gunmen and militia? Is it against the land of NIRA where, though millions are underclad and undernourished, cotton and wheat crops are plowed under; five million | hogs destroyed to keep up prices? No! The pack is yowling against the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union where there is no private ownership of the tools of production; where the workers and farmers are building a classless society; where there is no unemployment; where, instead of plowing under their crops, they are gathering a record harvest; where are no pogroms; no lynchings. Why this intensified campaign of lies and provocation against the U. S. 8. R.? “Soviet Russia Today” has for its purpose the combatting of such lies and distortions. By spreading ac- curate information about soctalist construction in the Soviet Union it counteracts the poison from the vil- lifiers of the workers’ government of the USSR. In the September issue, just out, | Mary van Kleeck writes on “NIRA versus Piatiletka”. Miss van Kleeck is Director of Industrial Research of the Russell Sage Foundation. She analyzes the planned economy of the Soviet Union and the Recovery Act of the Roosevelt administration. She attacks the NIRA as an attempt to deny workers the right to strike and to collective bargaining. NIRA, she says, is a desperate measure, designed to check the downward rush of capi- talism. It is a stop-gap which can- not remedy the basic defects of the profit system nor can it prevent crises, resulting from overproduction. “Capitalism and planned economy are mutually exclusive” she declares. Miss van Kleeck, who has studied the Soviet planned economy at first hand, praises the accomplishments already realized and the high aims of the second Five-Year Plan. While tales of “starving millions” in Russia flood the press here and radio lecturer for -the Foreign Affairs Forum, now in the “famine area” can find no trace of these starving people. She writes about the record crop. harvested and the consequent im- provement in food distribution. The results of the first half year of the second Five-Year Plan, she states, are, like the achievements under the | first Five-Year Plan, Bolshevik | “miracles”. Other articles in the September is- | sue of “Soviet Russia Today” are “The War Threat,” by Henri Bar- busse; “The White Menace”, by Cor- liss Lamont; a short story “Ushakov and the Evil Spirit”, by Joshua Ku- nitz, author of “Russian Literature | and the Jew”; “Soviet Trade Unions | Take Over Functions of Commis- | sariat of Labor”, by Cyril Lambkin; | “Difficulties of Socialist Construc- | tion”, by A. A. Heller, and letters from German collective farmers in| the German Volga Republic, rejecting | indignantly Hitler’s offer of “help”.

John Chilcote, leader of the par- liamentary opposition, is a dope fiend and a cad. A brilliant orator, he fails his party in its hour of need and deceives long-suffering wife Elissa with blood-sucking vampire Juliette Compton. To make us real- ize the enormity of his failure we get shots of the rabble rioting for bread and coarsely deriding upright opposition leaders whom Chileote has put in bad. John Loder appears. He’s a dis- tant relative and exact counterpart of Cad Chilcote, who is shunted off to the former’s obscure lodging. Lo- der saves the day. Neither woman recognizes him. Piquant complica, tions. He discards the vampire and re- habilitates long-suffering Elissa. His stirring appeal saves the day for the party and swerves the British Em- pire from the road to wrack and ruin, Ronald is quite a guy. Ohil- cote hops the twig and the death cer- tificate is made out in Loder’s name. The Virtuous One inherits Elissa, the mansion, the dinner suits, a faithful butler (whose father and grandfa- ther had also served the family, Cholmondely), and the privilege to pacify the Rabble. In the best approved fascist man- ner our superman pulls the country out of the dumps with a speech which may have been lifted bodily out of Stuart Chase. He's against Starving in the Midst of Plenty. All about the nasty Machine which is the cause of Man’s Downfall. Elissa sits inspir- ingly in the gallery. What this country needs is a Ron_ ald Colman and a good 5-cent Elissa Landi. —EDWARD NEWHOUSE. leave Cooperative Colony 6 P.M, Return Sunday night Register in advance.
