| CHANGE -+— FHE—_ WORLD! By SENDER GARLIN “¥T is my opinion,” writes L. R., “that you should have re- zorded—in your news report of the Hathaway-Dennis debate—the spontaneous roars of laughter from the audi- ence, It seemed to me thrilling—those hearty laughs at such statements by Dennis as, ‘the trouble with Marx is that he never read Freud,’ or that the workers should follow those who are ‘superior in education, training and brains.’ |The Broad Scope ** Of Revolutionary Music Criticism By CARL SANDS scope, a revolutionary music criticism will be much broader than its conventional bourgeois prototype, which has concerned it- self almost exclusively with Europ- ean and American concert music— and with only part of this music at that! One would suppose there never existed at all the great musics of Arabia, India, China, Japan and| Indonesia. And as to primitive | music, how many music critics know anything about it at all—even its very existence! The times are in- deed auspicious for the inception of a proletarian music criticism. From no less an authority than Professor Johannes Wolf of Berlin we have support for the dictum that whole history of music has to “The laughter of the audience can be described only | the by the word devastating.» It was the laughter of future barricaders—laughter that cotiipletely annihilated the ornate ‘logic’ for murder and torture of militant workers. It was the kind of laughter that gives every promise of turtiing to bullet roars that will completely destroy the fascist murderers when they pass the stage of demagogic “opie. “Perhaps a too restrained manner of reporting kept you from de- scribing this laughter. But when you stop to consider that this was not just an audience laughing at jokes’ but that it was laughter in the very face of Dennis and his ‘intellectual’ justification of Fascism— when you consider this, don’t you think the readers of the Daily Worker should have been informed of this deadly, contemptuous ‘ha-ha’?” * . . . PES ee ee ee Pee Secretary of the Canadian Labor Defense League, now on trial for “sedition,” he let me look through his data in connection with the Reichstag fire trial. Among a masse of interesting material was a note written in Moabit Prison, Berlin, in Georgi Dimitroff’s own hand, authorizing the fighting California ‘attorney to take charge of his defense in Leipzig. Dimitroff.and the two other Bulgarian comrades are now in the proletarian Fatherland—the Soviet Union. Elsewhere on this page you wil find a stirring interview with Dimitroff’s courageous mother, wettten. by the popular columnist of the “Pravda,” Michael Koltzov. . . . . Like an American Mother I Know aged mother reminds me of a Communist mother I met a few years ago in Eastern Ohio, Her son was an active or- ganizer in the National Miners’ Union, and at the time that I saw her and her husband, tall, iron-gray-haired miner who had dug eoal for 52 years (and had no heat in his home), her son was serv- ing a ten-year term in the Ohio Sttite Penitentiary for “criminal syndicalism”: in other words for speaking at an anti-war meeting in Martins Ferry, Ohio, 8 town owned by the Steel Trust. Following a bitter fight by the I L. D. he was released after serving six weeks. “During the strike,” the organizer's mother told me proudly, “there wasn’t » day but what my Charlie wasn’t arrested.” ‘A few weeks after he was released, a fire in the Ohio State Prison im Columbus where he had been, incarcerated, resulted in nearly 400 prisoners being burned to #, crisp; .

This Time—About the Theatre Guild Dear Sender Garlin: It was a pleasure to read-your column on John Wexley’s Scotts- boor play, “They Shall Not-Dte;” especially the interesting comment on Ruby Bates. As a student of the Workers’ Theatre, I greet John Wexley’s play with admiration for his courage, his enterprise, and his skill. I See in this play another step by the revolutionary playwrights towards dominating the American stage by the sheer vitality of their subject matter, just as the radical novelists and critics are already I have, however, a serious exception to make to such reviews as yecently appeared in Harold Edgar’s column in the Daily Worker. It is Oomrade Edgar’s idea that the readers of the Daily Worker should “revitalize” the Guild. About this suggestion I have two things to say: 1) It 4s only by.the merest happy accident that the Gulld produced “They Shall Not Die.” “They Shall Not Die” is sandWiched in be- tween plays like “Days Without End,” a drama by O'Neill, pointing to Catholicism as the way out for a confused and dying society; "Mary of Scotland,” a bit of plumed hokum, utterly phoney in fact as in dramatic structure; and “Ah, Wilderness,” an escape into false and sentimental adolescent comedy. The Guild & @ thoroughly commercial organization. It knows who buys its $3.30 seats, and it won't take too long chances at offending those buyers. We may expect, from time to time, that some of the more clever commercial theatres, like the Guild or the Group, will produce plays suh as “They Shall Not Die” and “1931 . . ."; but for every such play we can also expect a “Days Without End” or a “Success Story” as a trailer. ~ ; In short, it is as logical to ask the readers of the Daily Worker to “revitalize” the Guild, as it is to ask them to “revitalize” the New York fimes because, by accident, Walter Duranty now and then may run a speech of Stalin’s. — ‘ 2) Even if workers should wish to revitalize the Theatre Guild they would find it a pretty costly business. A great many workers who want to see Wexley’s play, and ought to see it, will never get the chance. if the play succeeds, it will be solely because it will have become a syealty for the carriage trade of-Broadway .. .” a Gomradely yours, * ARNOLD DEKKER. /are pretty des- JOHN L. SPIVAK be re-written in the light of the knowledge given us of non-Europ- ean music by the recent researches in Comparative Musicology. ‘The scope of a revolutionary music criticism is also enlarged by other than purely musical accre- tions. In the great cultures of anti- quity and also in the great cultures of the modern Orient, it has been steadfastly held that muc'c. both in form and in content, is iniimat-ly connected with philosophy, science, politics and the social order in gen- eral. Have we or have we not much to learn here? The question can only be answered after exhaustive research. Even our own science} holds much for us that the present starvation support given to music- ology cannot even estimate. And lastly, but most important, | the scope of music criticism will | Jutionary music criticism, since it is gf Workers’ be widened to include the music activities and potentialities of the masses. In this operation musical criticism will have to make a com- | plete Copernican twist. The focal point will no longer be the exploits of individuals, but mass movements, mass tendencies and mass achieve- ments. Outstanding personalities will develop. But they, as well as the rank and file musician, will develop from something more than mere accident. They vill develop from inexorable social necessity. | This and the class consciousness of | it will be their inspiration. And the | nearer we come to communism, the | wider will be musical culture. There will be so many good musicians that | exceptional talent may not stand | out as far above its fellows as in the past, Abnormal as well as nor- {mal talent may well svend more} | time doing other things, live a more | rounded life and so give less time | to music, even as in the life of) the average man and woman less | time will be spent upon necessary economic ‘labor and more upon cul- tural pursuits. The aim of a revolutionary music | criticism will be, then, two-fold: | first, to help the proletariat discover | its own sense of musical values and! to translate, by means of Janguage, | to those who are undeveloped or | only partially developed musically, | the nature of musical values as they appear in music; second, to advance certain values and to check others, also by means of language, in actual music work itself. Bougeois musical criticism has consistently obscured the fact that musical value is given primarily in music and only second- arilv in lancuage. The true music critic is the com- poser: by division of labor, the per- former also partakes, but to a lesser extent, of this function. When a man composes or plays a certain work he virtually answers the aues- tion “what, at this time, constitutes musical value?” He presents it then and there. The study and the dis- cussion of it has already taken place in the studio. But the literary critic of music cannot present mus- ical value itself. He can only pre- sent something about, usually round about, musical value, a much slighter and more equivocal achieve- ment. Nevertheless, in spite of its obvious inferiori‘y. qua criticism, this little is of paramount import- | ance today on account of the fact that in our present social system we are all of us, even musicians, better ecu'nned in the technique of language than in the technique of music. The revolutionary movement is conducted primarily in language and in action. Music. recorded from this viewpoint as part of the action, can and must be kept in line with the rest of the ac‘ion. This will be | done to no small extent by the lan- guage of music criticism.

Outside the F.E.R. office more farmers stood about in the sunshine, talking among themselves. There was not much difference in their faces, too.
