COMMUNISTS IN CLASHES WITH POLICEJFORCES Disorders in Various Parts of World Mark Soviet Anniversary. BY United Pre Reports of minor clashes of communists and police came from widely separated parts of the world today, following Thursday's celebration of the twelfth anniversary of the overthrow of the Czarist Russian government by the bolsheviks. At Prague, Czecho-Slovakia, fourteen persons were held in jail today, charged with making inflammatory speeches to the crowds which gathered to observe the Soviet anniversary. Among those arrested were four Communist members of the chamber of deputies. Following the demonstrations in Hamburg, Germany, a group of Communists clashed with police today, several officers being injured by stones. None of the demonstrators was injured, the police being able to disperse them by firing over their heads. More than fifty arrests were made at Buenos Aires, Argentina, when police raided a Communist meeting which broke up in fighting. The Communists had gathered on the steps of the Municipal theater to protest police interference with a recent meeting. Attempts to hold Communist demonstrations In Palestine were frustrated by government precautions, but. minor riots were reported j from outlying districts.

MORGAN GIVES PERFORMANCE HERE His Charles Marsden Is Now the Commanding Thing in “Strange Interlude,” Now at English's. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN*. THE thing that interests now in ‘'Strange Interlude” is the qualifications of the cast, as there are several changes from its first visit to English’s. It seems to me that the outstanding performance is the work of Ralph Morgan as Charles Marsden. the anchor of Nina Leeds. Here is a performance that takes on anew importance. Morgan is giving as perfect a performance as I would want to see. He is not tired with the part, having played it almost continuously for a year. He is as eager to play the part as if he were playing it for the first time. His continual association with the part has brightened his technique as well

as increased his own understanding 1 of a very difficulUrole. ; To me his performance overshadI ows everything in the cast, and this i is not to be taken as any reflection ; of the work of Pauline Lord as Nina. I have always been most sympathetic with her idea of the role. She

still reads her lines easily, does not </>veract, nor does the Lord mannerisms damage the ,-teasic conception of the role. Hes Nina is still a commanding and a beautiful performance. There is much interest in the presence of George Gaul as Edmund Darrell, the doctor who tackles a human experiment.

Wmmmtimk

Pauline Lord

To me, Gaul te better than the man who played Darrell last season. He brings the Gaul voice and careful consideration of the role which one expects in Gaul. I liked the work of Donald Macdonald as Sam Evans much better than Blaine Cordner, who now plays the role. Cordner has a different conception^of the role than Macdonald. Cordner is at his best when Sam takes on a stomach as well as wealth. He was at his best in the next to the last act. The remainder of the cast is satisfactory'. The cast is as follows: Charles Marsden ....Ralph Morgan Professor Leeds Brandon Evans Nina Leeds Pauline Lord Sam Evans Blaine Cordner Edmund Darrell George Gaul Mrs Amos Evans Maud Durand Gordon Evans, as a boy Lester Sheehy Madeline Arnold Sylvia Shear Warner Gordon Evans, as a man James Todd The Guild has successfully maintained the scenic standard of the play. Last winter when “Strange Interlude" was here I went into detail concerning the plot and the method of presentation. It is not necessary to repeat. What you want to know is this—- “ Strange Interlude" is still one of the safest buys in the theater and a most interesting experience in the j theater.
