 AGAINST SOVIET REGIME

Maria Spiridonova, one of the best known social revolutionists of Rus sia, who has spent years in prison sometimes under the bolshevist au- i. of the liberty of her country, and who has until lately supported the present regime in Moscow, recently addressed an open letter to the sov- jet government, from which we quote the following paragraph: we register against you, against Lhe Che- ka, against the local Chekas, revolu- tionary acts-tortures inflicted up- on the bodies and the souls of your victims. Robberies, beatings. mur- ders-murders without reason, with out investigation, upon the strength of a simple denunciation. You killed peasants and workingmen because they have demanded a fair cleo tion for the soviets, because they have protested against an arbitrary tyranny unknown to the TsarS, against tortue chambers conducted by your Cheka, and against the brut- al outrages of your organized de- tachments You have killed them for the slightest show of their justi- liable revolutionary indignation. Mis- uno Gone of the revolutionary lead ,ers) was cruelty tortured before his execution because he refused to dig his own grave.

 Augustus Martinot, the world-re- nowned genius of the piano, was forty three and rheumatic, but he had a fatal fascination for women.

Martinot is jealous at seeing his faith full wife apparently in love with an- other man, while Delphine suffers the same bangs at the thought of losing her husband The musical genius falls on his knees and begs forgiveness of his wife, while Delphine buries her head on her husbands breast Tonight at the Empress Theater.

TRIANGLE CLUB PLAY. PRESENTED AT LYRIC TUESDAY A SUCCESS

The Princeton Triangle clubs pre- sentation of The Man From Earth, . at the Lyric theatre Tuesday eve ming, is difficult matter for a critic to properly gauge. Certainly as a professional offering it lacks much, yet it is so far above the average amateur affair that it would be equally unjust tc class 1t as such.
 The lines of the piece are good al though they have stereotyped musical comedy" touch and range from satire of Dr. Coue's theory to the Stillman divorce. The dancing is excellent, and especially is that of J. B. Darby as Loria particularly worthy Of mention. The music recalls various musical comedy hits of the past year. It is not stolen" but the arrangement certainly comes from the Broadway successes. Lighting effects are good and add much to the novelty of the presentation as does scenery of evidently cubist design.
 Taken as musical comedy there Is nothing to make it noteworthy effort but as an expression of the modern undergraduate mind 1t is excellent. Prohibition. economies, pol itics, and science all come in for their share Of ridicule. Some of it is amusing and clever while other bits are just ordinary attempts at "smartness."
 The cast is well chosen and the leading parts are entrusted to skillful hands. As w. Hoodoo Smith. w. H. Smith. '24. is fine, and made to ap- pear more so by contrast with the other characters who are cast as Martian citizens. F. M. Chapman, T. Spencer and F.. A. Bartlett are clever young men while as mentioned above j. B. Darby as the prima donna Is the real high spot of the offering

 REAL SCREEN DRAMA

No sensible person. much less re- viewer. ever expects to see such a thing as perfect moving picture. but in "Qutcast." with Elsie Fergu- son in the star part, the acme draws very near. Certainly it will require much effort and wonderful vehicle to surpass this fine drama. Miss Ferguson adds to her already great claims to the position of the foremost dramatic star of the silent drama in this and her supporting cast is each, in. his role. as good as the star. It is a real achievement of the screen. and
