NEGRO WORKER ‘•‘LEGALLY*’
LYNCHED IN WILMINGTON
Wilmington, Lei., Sept. 4—(CNA)
—Introducing the flimsiest evidence
and with the state witneoses twice
confessing to perjury, heodore Russ,
25 year old Ncgi*o worker was mur
dered here on the scaffold, Friday
noon. Russ was charged with crim
inal assault upon a white woman,
a Mrs. Reed, living near Woodside,
below Dover. He was convicted on
the testimony of Linwood Gray who
swore at the trial that he saw Russ
break into the home of Mrs. Reed
and that peeping through the key
hole that he saw Russ assault the
woman. Gray later made an affida
vit repudiating his testimony. On
the basis of this afhdavit, Russ’s at
torney made an appeal for a new
trial.
1. L. L. and A. N. L. G. Organization*
Protest.
The International Labor Defense,
the defense organization ol Negro
and white workers, and the Ameri
can Negro Labor Congress vigorous
ly protested against this “legal”
lynching. More than 200 Negro and
white workers answered the call of
these two militant organizations and
assembled at a street corner near
the jail to hold a protest meeting.
The city police weie given the or
der to smash the workers meeting
and scatter all of those who were
not in syhpathy with “justice” taking
its course. The workers were deter
mined to voice their protest. The
police arrested several of the work
ers. A diligent search was made
throughout the Negro neighborhood
for speacers from these class strug
gling organizations to prevent them
from calling another meeting and to
“run” them out of town.
Delaware Contribute* to Lynch
Wave.
This lynching was not carried out
by a ob with the approval of the
bosses and the state, but by the
state itself without the assistance of
the mob. It differs from a mob
lynching as it was “legal” according
to thecod e of the capitalist—the op
pressors of the Negro masses. This
was Delaware’s contrivution to the
wave of lynching and general ter
rorism now raging throughout the
country. This terror is part of the
general terror against the working
classdu ring the economic crisis. The
bosses are trying to put on the work
ers the entire burden of the crisis
of capitalism, by dividing the work
ers and preventing them from or
ganizing together to fight to better
conditions. More and more work
ers are ecicted from their homes, for
non-payment of rents, and the army
of unemployed is increasing daily.
The Negro and white workers of
Wilmington have announced through
their class struggling organizations
that they are not to be defeated in
their plans of organizing the work
ers and exposing the aims of the
bosses to keep the workers divided.
More meetings to protest against the
oppression of the workers will be
held.

HEAVIES “HEAVY” IS
WHALE IN “MOBY DICK”
The heaviest villian ever to fea
ture in a motion picture, is seen in
Warner Brothers’ “Moby Dick,”
starring John Barrymore, at the
National Theatre.
She weigns a mere sixty-nine
tons, but is made up to look as
thovgh she weigls ninety. The
cow whale’s feminine curiosity
about the Malibu coast, led to her
being cast in this part. Attempt
ing to crash a film celebrity beach
party, she came blowing along in
sight of Warner Brothers’ Whal
ers out looking for types.
*‘Moby Dick” is the most pre
tentious sea picture ever made.

"Love In The Rough” Captivating
Musical Talkie With Expert Cast
Something new in screen treat
ment iof musical comedy may be
seen in “Love in the Rough,” Metro
Goldwyn-Mayer’s picturization of
the stage hit, “Spring Fever,” at the
Colonial Theatre this week.
Although strictly a musical com
edy, this delightful film betrays
none of the stilting devices so com
monly noted in screen transitions
of this sort. It is not only highly en
tertaining musically but packs a
thoroughly human story without in
trusions of dancing choruses to slow
up the story. -Charles 'F. (Chuck)
Reisner has managed a splendid di
rectorial task and his interpolation
of the tuneful song numbers is admi
rably effected.
Robert Montgomery is featured
and Benny Rubin and Dorothy Mc
Nutty are paired off in comedy
parts. Others in the cast are J. C.
Nugent, Allan Lane, Tyrrell Davis,
Catherine Moylan, Edwards Davis,
Roscoe Ates, Harry Burns and Clar
ence Wilson.
The story was adapted for the
screen by Sarah Y. Mason with dia
logue by Joe Farnum and Robert
E. Hopkins, and is backgrounded
with a hilarious golf links plot which
affords some eyeful glimpses of
amazing scenery. The music and ly
rics by Dorothy Fields and Jimmy
McHugh is appealing and contains
several surefire hits, particular!/
“Go Home and Tell Your Mother”
and "I’m Learning a Lot From
You.”

Plenty Laughs
In Oakie Films
“The Social Lion” Filled With Side
Buratin’ Dialog and Fast
Action
Jack Oakie, Paramount’s sure-bet
laugh-maker, will be seen and heard
this week at the Bijou Theatre in
his first staring vehicle, “The Social
Lion.”
The picture is based upon the Oc
tavus Roy Cohen story, “Marco Him
self.”
It is the hilariously funny story of
a young garage mce.'iai ic and wutiM
b<- pugilist who gets a place on u
ritzy country club’s Pc’o Team te
cause he is the 'own’s most proficient
n i Ret-wielder. having learned po’c
when he was serving :.i. enlistment in
the army.
hut his hob-no!*? up with the
•4. 0” of th town gives him high hat
ideas and he tries t ■> crash into the
“Inner circle" by means of the entree
ho has gained through his polo ojlay
ing. This provides a number of very
amusing situations and rib-rocking
dialog.
The finale is a-happy one, for our
hero finally realizes that the plain
little girl and the plain life are the
girl and the life for him.
Jack Oakie, of course, is the pugi
list-poloist social lion aspirant. He
never had a funnier role. Skeets
Gallagher is the partner and pal of
Oakie; Mary Brian is the plain little
girl, and Olive Borden is the ritzy
daughter of society who tries to
make a sap out of Jack, but fails.
LAST HALF OF WEEK
William Powell, screendom’s great
cosmopolite, whose powerful por
trayals of worldly men have gained
him a fan mail greater than any
other demi-villain’s of the film world,
will be seen and heard in another
highly dramatic production when
Paramount’s “For the Defense”
I comes to the Bijou Theatre for a
3-day run beginning on Thursday
next.
“For the Defense” is a story of a
brilliant and crafty attorney whose
sensational work in the courts of the
big city attracts world-wide atten
tion.
He is so successful in defending
his clients, many of them criminals
with vicious past records, that he in
curs the enmity of the police. It is
this animosity which plays a part in
bringing Powell himself before ihe
bar of justice as a prisoner.
Through a series of thrilling dra
matic twists the story shows Powell
faced with a jail threat from which
he cannot escape without incriminat
ing the woman he loves. The finale
packs a terriffic dramatic wallop.
