We have hitherto taken srasotarian attitude toward such writers, I be- lieve. They have had no breath‘6f Communism or revolution in their work. | Williams has never written abdrt a strike or a labor union, What he has done, however, is to reflect as_fn.a faithful mirror the raw powerful force of the unorganized American worker, and the horrors of the slum life he leads. You feel this violence nd | chaos in the poetry of Dr. Williams . It is realism of the most severe kind. This author has been a practis- ing physician in New Jersey. fOr many years. He seems to be a specialist in the delivery of babies to proletarian families, He writes of all such trage- @ies with the scientific eye of a physician. What separates him from, the revolutionary writer is that he has no sense of organization, and no profound vision of the future. He sees the American worker as he is today,.and can’t believe that this is not a vision of eternity. But even the rocks pahange, and the American worker is chang- ing, too. A Story in “Blast” WRITER should not merely_be ‘@ photographic machine, a mirror held up to nature. To be a social force, he must mould reality, he must rise above his material, he mustbe a leader, an interpreter. peers Some critics (bourgeois) call this propaganda, other critics (pro- letarian) realize that to do this ‘and yet retain the whole truth is one of those feats of balance possible. to the greatest artists. Dr, Williams has recently” changing and seeking new paths for literature. He is acting as a kind of godfather to a new magazine of proletarian short stories, called “Blast.” A sketch of- his, “Jean Beioke,” leads the first issue. It is another ;” | clinical report on proletarian babies, a study in the poor sick abandoned | brats who are left on hospital- “doorsteps these dark depression days.

Just dirt. ‘Phe mother gave us a story of having had it in some ~ sort of home in Paterson. We couldn’t get it straight. We never try. ‘What the hell? We take ’em try to make something out of them. “Sometimes, you’d be surprised, some doctor has given the parents ride before they bring the chifd to the clinic. You wouldn't believe it. ‘They clean ’em out, maybe, for‘twenty-five dollars they maybe had to borrow, and then tell ’em to move: on. It happens. Men we all know, too. \ Pretty bad. But what.can you do? seg That is just what affects..Dr ‘Williams—what can you do? Many younger writers look up to William Carlos Williams—in certain Parisian groups he ranks with Gertrude Stein and James Joyce—and any judge of the honest and solid event in literature must concede the primitive integrity of this man’s reporting. » But what can you do? Hesfas seen the proletariat at their worst and if life is to go on like thtg>.he hates life. But he knows there is something else. And it is th€%$roping toward something that makes Dr. Williams bigger than the is esthetes. He isn’t satisfied with the slums as a spectacle—they, hurt him too much. His sketch tells very simply"and technically of the attempts in the hospital to save little Jean--Miécke, an abandoned baby. She dies finally of an error in diagnosis. “I called up the Ear man and he came down at once—A clear miss, he said. I think if we'd have,gone in earlier we'd have saved her. “For what? said I. Vote the straight Communist ticket. “Would it make us any dumber? said the Ear man.” And on this sable note Dr. Williams ends his sketch. er _ Set powerful @ sod oo | 8 Pipe Lines, Bayonne There are other good things in this new magazine, the best being, I think, a skech of Bayonne, by a young writer whose name I’ve never seen, P. T. Turner. It is shoré but has a revolutionary bitterness and realism. Its values have that @lear-cut authenticity you recognize at once. This author knows what ‘he wants and what he hates, Just another picture of capitalism at work in its attempt to stop change. A Communist organist’ has been shellacked by oily Rocke- feller’s police.

We have received a number of reviews in the form of letters that rather challenge Hollywood's hypocritical contention that the “public is -given what it wants,” We will print the more in- teresting of these letters from time to time and reply privately to the others (O, rare space! My-column for a 16-page “Daily”!). Here is a typical letter from a worker in Omaha, “Nebraska: ee “Dear Comrades: “Last spring I became so disgusted with such pictures as ‘Prosperity,’ ‘Gobriel Over the White House,’ etc., that I swore that I would never enter another movie theatre. But this oath was broken five months-later- when ‘Gold Diggers of: 1933’ aroused my proletarian curiosity. ‘Gold Diggers’! ‘Those two words made me curious to find out just who “and what was a Gold Digger these days, so in I went. “The film is just the same old line of stuff that capitalism puts out and will continue to do so until the work- ers take the films and use them for something besides sex... nonsensé, ‘rugged individualism’ and degenerate comedy, The ‘hero’ in the film is a Masaschusetts scion, so it would not be ‘proper’ to have him marry a ‘common’ show girl. The girl he falls in love with is also of the ‘better There always has to be some- thing ‘decent’ about a girl that a rich young scion marries (in the movies!). Yes, she just joined the show out of dire necessity because her dad lost his fortune on the stock And, like all ‘better class’ girls, she has remained pure. . How perfectly this ‘superior strain’ works. Rags, dirt, ‘low’ occupations cannot conceal one ‘superior’ individ- ual from another. On the other hand, even years of ‘culture’ can never be expected to develop u pro- letarian to the point where it might | deceive a member of the ‘superior’ \strain, Such is the philosophy of the Hollywood film. This girl’s two com- panions, realizing this ‘biological’ law, are not so foolish as to even attempt to grab off a ‘superior’ male in the same manner as the ‘superior’ ladies would. They therefore resort to the strategem of getting two ‘su- perior’ males drunk and marrying them, “Here's another interesting feature: |The young scion sacrifices his heir- ship to save these three girls from ‘the street’—something which happens even before he falls in love with one of them! Of course he regains his heirship. But he is so nobie this part of the picture! He acts without Isn't that so typical of the rich? “In the film, the producer who is organizing the show is deeply moved by the effects of the depression, but he is ruthless enough to fire a man 15 years!

Although it is typical of the concoctions that emerge from the degenerate and confused mentality of capitalism's movie writers and pro- ducers, it has the same value as under chemical analysis, could reveal elements which had passed through the beast’s body. “Comradely, “E.

All in all, I must say these letters indicate that there exists a fertile soil for the building of Workers Film that we-are not even keeping pace with the workers’ sentiments in this elfid.

O'Brien and numerous other bourgeois critics, Two collections. of his distinctively American stories, “A Hobo’s Horn- book,” and “Oklahoma Town,” were published when most of his genera- tion of writers were still stumbling over the elementary rules of their craft. In the very beginning of his career Milburn was close to the Communist movement. Some of his first sketches were contributed to “New Masses.” He has been poor all his life, a broth- er of the hoboes, the dispossessed and the disinherited with whom his best Stories deal. But for a time his lit- erary success (it was not financial, as the sale of # half dozen stories'a year leaves one poorer than the humblest clerk) influenced his treatment of life. The quality magazine demanded certain attitudes and he was very adaptable. _He seemed to be just ‘another of Mencken’s bright. young men doing routine Babbitt-baiting. Due to an inherent honesty, he We}. Stage and Screen C. Laughton in “The Private Life of Henry VII’ At Radio City Music Hall “The Private Life of Henry VIII,” with the noted English actor Charles Laughton as Henry, will open today at the Radio City Music Hall. The picture is released by United Artists. Roxy has prepared a special stage show to set off this new importation from England. The Trans-Lux Theatre is pre- senting this week “Double Crossing Columbus,” a comedy with Charles dudels; “The Wonder Girl,” a sport short; Walt Disney’s Silly Symphony cartoons, “The Three Little Pigs” and “King Kole,” and the usual News- reel shots. “Aniakchak,” Fox Film’s picture of airplane exploration of the frozen Noith, will open at the Rialto The- atre on Friday, following the run of “The Deluge.” Bernard Hubbard, who made the picture, has made three trips to Alaska and to the Aleutian Peninsular. He left his post as head of the department of geology in Santa Clara College in California to make an extensive study of the vol- canoes and glaciers in Alaska. The same program will have “My Woman,” with Helen Twelvetrees, Victor Jory and Wallace Ford. “Ever In My Heart,” a new War- ner Bros. film starring Barbara Stan- wyck, will have its Broadway pre- miere this evening at the Hollywood Theatre. The picture is based on a story by Bertram Milhauser and Beulah Marle Dix. The supporting cast includes Otto Kruger, Ralph Bellamy, Ruth Donnelly and Laura Hope Crews. SEND THUGS TO BREAK STRIKE STEUBENVILLE, Ohio, Oct. 11.— Jefferson county commissioners or- dered 20 special deputy sheriffs to augment the police force at the Pope mills where a thousand steel workers are on strike. The additional force was added on the company’s request to safeguard scabs. Any attempt to bring in scabs will be resisted, the strikers said. The Pope workers struck after 11,- 000 walked out at the Weirton plant, of which this is a subsidiary. ; kept look'ng at life with ever clearer eyes. Altnough his editors tried to steer him into channels of their choosing, he mastered his craft and hewed a path of his own. His direc- tion is now definitely leftward. Milburn has passed through three phases, all of which are represented in this collection of eighteen stories written between 1930 and 1933. He was a humorous entertainer first, writing amusing elaborations of smoking car anecdotes for “Vanity Fair.” (Like “The Drummer’s’ Shoes” in this volume.) But he wasn't con- tent witht his surface work and as he probed for depth he came under the satiric influence of Mencken, Sin- clair Lewis and Ring Lardner. The latter might have written “Inquire Within,” a conventional tricky story fused with bitter impatience at the stupidities. of human beings. “The Fight. at Hendryx’s” is one of the rowdy, Paul Bunyanesque tales en- couraged by Mencken. “A Pretty Cute Little Stunt,” and “The Apostle,” both reprinted in O’Brien collections, are ultra-obvious satires on Rotarians, which might have been written hy any of a half dozen of Mencken’s disciples. Milburn’s “Sinclair Lewis period,” however, proved valuable for com- pleting his education in short story craftsmanship. Like his one-time master, he has developed a keen ear for the myraid idioms of American speech, a camera eye for the little touches that make people human, an ability to etch unforgettable charac- ters in a few deft strikes and a grim humor as native as the square dance in Grange Hall. He is a careful workman, Original similes and meta- jug aids a ploughman. In his third and latest phase Mil- burn presents raw, bleeding chunks of American life, tragedies of frus- trated individuals and underdogs crippled by the brutalities inherent in capitalism. These stories burn with a white-hot hatred of our present system. They start quietly. In “The Visit to Uncle Jake's,” a tale of a man’s life-long desire to learn how his lost brother had gotten ‘on in the world, Milburn has a Mark Twain | twinkle in his eyes but rings the last drop of life-frustration out of his tragic theme. In “Sugar Be Sweet!” and “Love Song,” he exhibits a profound pity for unfortunates in callous surround- ings that Lardner never achieved. He has a far broader knowledge of life and a wider range of theme than Erskine Caldwell. And in “A Position on the Staff,” “Heel, Toe and A 1, 2, 3, 4,” and “A Student “in Eco- nomics,” he has created three full- bodied masterpieces. The first is the greatest newspaper story ever written —the aftermath of a rape “scoop,” recounting what capitalist journalism does to the souls of men. The second is a mind-searing tale of a wild boy of the road and the third, a merciless indictment of American coleges’ hos- tility to poor youths striving for edu- cation—a bitter mockery of the eco- nomics taught in goose step univer- sities. As yet, Milburn has not dealt with class-conscious workers, our strike leaders and revolutionists. His best stories belong to the literature of ex- posure, disillusionment and defeats But “A Student in Economies,” and “A Position on the Staff” prove that he realizes the system, not individ- uals, is to blame for life’s tragedies and he himself now asserts that his recent stories are “oblique attacks on capitalism.” Recently he has become reatly interested in Soviet literary criticism, as exemplified in “Interna- tional Literature,” and we can expect that his future work will mirror such influences, TELzLG TONIGHT’S PROGRAMS WEAF—660 Ke. 7:00 P.
