MOSCOW.—“The play’s the thing wherrin T'll catch the conscience of the ring.” soliloquized the melanzholy Dan- ish Princ> Hamlet, and the Soviets agree with him, substituting, of course, the word “worker” for “king.” To ecatch the worker's conscience— just now it revolves, or should revolve, |about the five-year plan—the play is | the thing in Soviet Russia as nowhere | else in the world. “And where the worker cannot come to the theater the theater must go to the workers.” This is the motto of !more than 1,000 wandering theatrical | groups which have played before 10,000 | audiences during the last Spring sowing | campaign. These wandering troupers | make up what is known as the Workers’ Theater. pe | "“The purpose of the Workers' Theater | theaters of the “Proletcult,” and one | mines in Polis Pathfinders at the lowest prices in history. is to acquaint the workers with Boviet successes, encounfln’ them to continue their struggles, expla meaning of the five-year plan, and in general bolstering up the morale of the “soldiers” at the industrial and agri- cultural fronts. Moscow Training Center. ‘The training center for the Workers' Theater Thespians is the Krupskaya House in Moscow, for the work of which the government has granted a subsidy of 2,000,000 rubles. Here workers from every branch of industry who talent for the stage are sent for fur- ther training. The course lasts three years, and includes full maintenance for the students. Sixty such Thesplan training stations by the end of the five- year plan is the ambitious program of the powers behind the arganization. The Workers' Theater takes various forms, from the open-air performances of the “Blue Blouses” and the simple acting of small trl\'e]lnf groups to the complex, proféssional forms of such pf}:errul groups as the Leningrad S ram.” Factory workers have shown great in- terest in theatricals. More than 9,000 dramatic circles, 3,000 speaking chb- ruses, 6,000 music groups and 1,000 “living newspapers” have been organized in plants and mills alene. Add to these figurc: the 5,000. dra- matic circles and 2,000 “living newspa- pers” organized by the trade unions, the 70,000 theater grcups, 50,000 dra- matic circles doing cultural work amon, l:hhe asantry, and 12 non-professional It stands to reason that Goodyear — world’s largest tire builder—can give you the great- est value for the price you pay.

The latest development in this con- nection is the organization of an inter- national wandering theater by the trade unions. The presence of thousands of foreign specialists and workers, in the Soviet Union, hundreds working on the “periphery” far from the theaters and music halls, has prompted the unipns to make theatrical entertainments avail- able for them. Groups of English and German speak- ing actors will tour varioys parts of the Soviet Union, beginning” this Summer, staging plays for the benefit of these foreign workers. Recruiting of talent for the interna- tional theater group is under way. Newspaper advertissments urge English and German speaking persons in the Soviet Union'to join. ey are offered “good pay and interesting work.” “I wish they'd bring a few of the un- employed American burlesque girls over here,” a wistful American worker from the Stalingrad Tractor Works was heard to comment. Another suggested that Will Rogers should be invited. “We'd like to know what wisecracks he'd make about the five-year plan,” he chuckled. s American capital is becoming promi- nent in the ogeuuon of zinc and lead ‘Upper Silesia. COURTS IN MEXICO REJECT PRIEST PLEA Refuse to Interfere With Statute Limiting Catholic Clergymen in Vera Cruz. By the Associated Press. MEXICO CITY, July 9.—Petitions for injunctions against application of the Vera Cruz state law placing re- structions on the church, filed by Cath- olic priests of Vera Cruz in all the distriet courts of the country, were rejected today by the six district courts of Mexico City. The courts held the matter was one for direct reference to the Vera Cruz State Legislature rather than to the tribun2ls, and that inasmuch as the petitioners have not been ejected from their churches, they have not been directly affected by the law, limiting the“number of priests in Vera Cruz to 11. Petitions are still pending in 42 dis- trict courts outside of Mexico City. e | Dally airmail service has just been | inaugurated between Melbourne and | Hobart, Australia.
