Our correspondent reports on a very trivial idea.
New Free Press on January 10th, 22nd
Our correspondent writes from New York: The American Robert Sherwood tried to mix Molnar and Schnitzler, but only Sherwood came out, that is, a cocktail that was pleasantly tingling on the tongue and had an effect right down to the diaphragm, like the one on Broadway between nine o’clock and like eleven after a good dinner. The piece is called “Reunion in Vienna” and once again makes an unnecessary effort to the Habsburgs.
If you don’t have a former Austrian general or sergeant at your side, it is difficult to decide whether all the earthenware that Crown Prince Rudolf – given by the excellent Alfred Lunt – is wearing at a reunion in Vienna are correct; at most one can notice that the golden fleece shines through its absence; if already, because already.
But these are small things after all, what is more important is that not only Crown Prince Rudolf from Nice – where he is a taxi driver – but also Ms. Helene Midas is invited to the highly aristocratic gathering that some monarchists hold in Vienna to commemorate Franz Josef’s centenary because ten (?) years ago she was the crown prince’s maitresse en titre. Which then gives rise to the embarrassing questions whether Ms. Midas, who is the happy wife of a famous democratically oriented pinochologist, will answer the call and, since this is decided with yes, whether she should at least give in to Rudolf’s amorous proposals, which promptly resurrected, for one night.
All of this is not as trivial as it sounds here, rather it is so trivial, but is made digestible through a sparkling dialogue and the presentation. The New Yorkers flock to the reunion with Archduke Rudolf.
100 years ago today: Communist aspirations in the USA
The United Workers’ Council of America was formed at a convention.
New Free Press on January 9, 1922
In the United States, it is assumed, on instructions from Moscow, an attempt has again been made to win the radical working class of the United States over to the Soviet idea. The Communists organized a new party in December that encompasses all shades of the radical working class in the United States. This party held a convention attended by 150,000 union members.
