LOOK OVER NEW EVENTS IN NEWYORK CITY Play Jury Tells of a New Show, ‘Chicago,’ on Broadway. BY NEA PLAY JURY NEW YORK, Jan. 10.—While waiting: for a modern-day Gilbert and Hulllvan to appear, we’ll have to get along with the Maurlne Watkinses, George Kaufmanns and such. For those sturdy American virtues, concerning which latter day writers made so much, have long since been turned to an exposition of equally hard voices and foibles, and there are many things at which It is best to laugh that we may not weep. No period ever left Itself wider open to lampooning than this in Which the absurd antics of bootlegging, publicizing, exploitation, crime and all the rest are commonplaces. Not the least of these manifestations might be termed the “tabloid Influence,” and Miss Maurino Watkins, petite and charming newspaper writer, who has undergone at least a couple of trials, has made a penetrating and timely burlesque analysis of this in her trumpeted play, “Chicago.” Briefly, here Is presented the amusing and amazing metamorphoses of a hard-boiled "Jane,” who goes to trial for slaying her lover. Phe is led to her oell a fighting, biting wench, but ere the curtain has owned, she Is crooning “Baby Shoes,” while the cameras click as she knits bonnets for a baby that never will be born.

Just Publicity Miss Watkins has overlooked none of the “hooey” associated with such a case. All the avenues of publicity are thrown wldo open and from district attorney to defense lawyer to Judge to camera-man to sob-sister, there is some ax to grind. We see this hard-boiled Hannah kissing the Jury after acquittal and being offered movie and stage contracts, getting offers for books and other incidentals that would make' her a fortune. The final irony is achieved when, Just ns she sees herself as a vast personage, thanks to a murder, another gs.l of elmllar like murders both a husband and lover Just outside the courtroom window, end all eyes turn in this new direction, while the wheels are oiled for another travesty. , This soft of thing is not particularly native to Chicago, but has had its counterpart in most large cities. It does happen that murder and crime in the “windy city” have made better news stories than elsewhere.

Chinese Dragon, British Lion; Angry

Thousands of middle-class Chinese are seen here at an anti-British demonstrations in Hankow. This and similar manifestations of unrest and animosity toward foreigners brought troops and gunboats to protect them.

Roxle Hart, a role originally picked for Jeanne Eagles. Another less worthy commentary is that contained in Peter Glenny’s “New York Exchange,” which has a fine satiric Idea that may yet become a good play. The theme is a variant of “Cradle Snatchers” and another piece in which "dancing mamas” and the gigolo are chief are chief figures. A young man from the country finds himself taking a Job in a cabaret, loosely disguised under the name of “Dallas Dinon’s” and here drift a couple of gigolo-hunters of mature years, one of whom already has enjoyed the experience of being robbed by a night club crook. The country boy needing money, comes into the grasp of the older* woman and does not escape until the last act, which falls apart thanks to bad anti-climax. Fine Production The most noteworthy production of the week Is the Theater Guild’s English version of “The Brothers Karamazoff,” once given in French and again in Russian when the Moscow Arts Theater came to town. The guild version is marked particularly by the direction of Jacques Capeau, that modern-minded man of the theater who Journeyed from Paris recently to give this dramatization of which he was co-author, her personal touch. Capoau has a wizardry of stage manipulation and arrangement which merits consideration of chronicles more deeply dedicated to tho arts than is this w r eekly letter. The Dostoievsky story of the sons of the lecherous old Feodor and their terrible inheritance is now classic and should be. If It is not, generally known. One thing 1 s certain; the stature of Alfred Lunt —an actor practically unknown off Broadway—is completely measured by his performance of Dimitri. Here is a young man who, within a single season has given such diverse characterizations as Emperor Maximilian in "Maximilian and Juarez,” the bootlegging Callahan in ‘Ned McCobb’s Daughter,” and the Russian Dimitri —and has run the gamut perfectly. Since John Barrymore seems wedded to the movies, let us comment in passing that Dimitri is such a role as might have been cut to order for Barrymore, but which he could not possibly do better than Lunt. Hence, Lunt is herewith voted our outstanding male favorite of the theater.

Not Communistic Our government, although headed by the Communist party has other political elements, both workmen and peasants, and the government Itself should not be called communistic. The international might take any kind of resolutions it desired, but it would have nothing to do with the Soviet government’s world policy. Regarding the resolution to throw off the yoke of the United States bourgeois and to maintain contacts with workers in Cuba and the Philippines, this was nowhere acknowledged by the Soviet executive (the legislative body), nor passed by the Cabinet. As far as the development of further ties goes, Foreign Minister Tchitcherln naturally, is very interested in furthering ties with all foreign countries, especially with Amerida, and he is not Interested in other things. Naturally, he is very happy to have one American country recognize the Soviet Republic. Not Hostile to U. S. is not hostile toward the United States.

publication, but I never have seen lt. # Mr. Kellog's reference to the fourth convention of the communist party evidently was a mistake if he referred to the Russian Communist party, inasmuch as the fourth convention was held long before the revolution, (Russian revolution) and we now have passed the fourteenth convention. - Lauds Borah’s Reply Mr. Borah’s answer to the secretary of state was a good, clear answer because, as Borah said, nothfhg had been revealed. The statemerit of Mr. Kellogg nowhere quoted officials or official documents, but only statements from international associations in w’hlqh Americans seem to played a rather active part probably because the suject concerned the American continent. | The Nicarbguan situation has nothing to do with Russian policies on the American continent because we do not have relations with any other American countries except Mexico and Uruguay, and we do not concern ourselves in the external or Internal affairs of Mexico.
