Sir, — Congratulations on your first issue under the new name. i hope you continue to add pages. We must build a progressive press as powerful and influential as the capitalist press, and now that the People’s Advocate is becoming a teal paper, I think you are on the Tight road. C.D. Kamloops, BC. These Youths Won’t Scab #2ditor, People’s Advocate. Sir,—Im the South Westmnster, Port Mann area the young people have formed a Sports and Athletic association. In the absence of a community building our weekly meetings are held in the municipal polling sta- tion, with boxing, wrestling and tumbling twice a week.

This statement I can- not make of the individuals who were instrumental in bringing about his suspension from the CCE organization. I am honestly convinced there are people in the GGF with one purpose, namely, to wreck it. One year ago I called the turn on Gon nell—was laughed to scorn.

The women of Vancouver hope history will continue to be made in regard to conditions under which women are living in this city.

Charles Boyer as a jealous ex-husband who tries to frame his wife (Jean Ar- thur). Shorts From Hollywood Hollywood proved that it knows the meaning of the phrase “defense of democracy’ by turning out en masse to sreet Andre Malraux, famous French author and com- mander of the International Air Squadron of the Spanish loyalist forces. On the night he spoke be- fore 8.000 people who jammed the Shrine Auditorium, there were in the audience stars, Writers, directors and even a Statteringe of studio ex- ecutives. Two nights later, he was honor guest at a banquet sponsored by the Motion Picture Artists Com- mittee; this was followed by a series of gatherines for him at the homes of Ssereen luminaries. All in all, the result meant record-breaking c¢on- tributions from film people, for the buying of medical supplies for Mad- rid's yaliant defenders.

I wonder why the Metropolitan Opera House neglected to mention that a recent performance ot Der Meisiersinger (the only performance of the week) was for the benefit of German Charities, Inec.? Perhaps some of the non-Arvan supporters of grand opera wouldn’t be so lavish if they knew that German Charities, Ine., sends one-half of its funds to Germany, where the money is dis- bursed by Nazi-minded individuals. —Allan Saunders: Soviet Films On Double Bill Opening tonight (Friday) until April 17, Cosmopolitan Films will present two outstanding Soviet films, ‘‘Road te Life’ and ‘‘Cha- payev,” at the Little theatre, Com- mercial and Georgia. Among the film Classics produced by the Soviet Union, both ‘‘Road to Life’ and “Chapayev” rank high. Of the former, the national .mo- tion pictures review board in New York reported: ‘‘*Road to Life’ is a remarkable film Original, power- ful and dramatic. Treatin= of the homeless boys who, in predatory bands, roamed the Russian cities after the war and how they were gathered, fed and trained, ‘Road to Lite’ shows that the film of mean- ing Can also be intensely exciting and entertaining: Theme, sound and photographie technique com- bine to give this film its really un- usual quality. It is in the first rank of cinematic achievements of Russia.” “Chapayev”’ is an authentic his- torical document dealing with one of the most dramatic chapters of the civil war. A thrilling story of a peasant carpenter who became a hero of the revolution, it played-to more than a million people within ten days of its release in Moscow. Por this outstanding portrayal of “Chapavyey,” Babochkin was given the prized “People’s Artist of the Republic” award. Doors for evening performances will be open at 6:30 pm. Matinee Saturday. Admission 25 cents. bal- cony, 15 cents. ‘Silent Barriers’ At Orpheum Theatre Silent Barriers, dramatic screen Story of the historic building of the CPR across Canada and first mil- lion doilar picture to be produced in this country which will be shown at the Orpheum theatre opening tonight (Friday) for one week, has everything that goes to make up absorbing entertainment—includins music.

SPORTS Comment Gordon Wallace successfully de- fended his Canadian welter title against the much touted Sammy Luftspring in Toronto last Friday and from press despatches it would seem that Waliace went into the fight with the handicap of a broken bone in his left hand. Any- way, an X-ray after the fight showed a break and the hand is still swollen from the fingertips to the wrist. This fight either boosts the Wallace stock and bumps the Luftspring . . . or else! Sometime in May or June we are told Freddy Steele will put his world middleweight title up for Ken Overlin of Richmond, Va., to shoot at over the fifteen round route. Overlin, by his yictory over Fred Apostoli, gets the shot, although from some ratings Teddy Yaroz is the No. 1 ranking Challenger. The fight is to be held in the civic auditorium, Seattle. Pedro Montanez, ing a “rings” rating of No. tender, was hardly rated lightweight champion Lou Ambers unofficially right off his throne, but that is just what the Puerto Rican did in one of those ten-round non-title fights at the Madison Square Gardens. Ambers is giving Tony Canzoner a crack at his title on May 7 and the winner will likely be matched With the up and comine Pedro. The steaming up process has commenced in the coming Braddocl< vs. Louis fight scheduled for June 22 and it won’t be lone now before although carry- 3 con- to spill we gaze at the stalwart form of one or both gladiators pictorialised swinging axéS and bucking logs in their training routine. The champion is reported as established at Little Sissibagsama Lake about eight miles from Stone Lake, Wis- consin, with two sparring partners and a trainer.
