soldier who is falsely accused of the
murder of his wife through the testi-
mony of his own child. Immediately
after the father has been sentenced to
life Imprisonment the child is stricken
with serious illness. and when she re-
covers has lost almost all recollection
of the past. She is adopted by Il rich
and noble family, and grows to young
womanhood a beautiful and much
sought-after belle. Then certain incl
dents begin to stir her memory and
she is troubled by voices that seem to
speak to her out of the past, so that
when chance throws her father in her
way again. after a dramatic reunion,
she vows to dedicate her life to prov

cious adventurer.
There is no attempt at poetic JUS
tice in the usual direct sense OF the
term. AvaricG is satisfied. Idealism
is content, even in the elimination OF
| money disaster, to know that child
is to be born to take the place or the
beloved son who died.
Early in the play there are hints
of Sovietism and the rest OF the
threats which hover over organized
society. They all melt away in the
reminder of simple humanity, suffer
ing or successful, seeking betterment,
yet patient in misfortune.
In the estimation of producers, mob
scenes are dangerous. This play
brings to attention perhaps the great
est mob scenes ever rehearsed.
Character analysis is the interest
ing element Of the play. Intimate ac-
quaintance is made available with the
people from far away who have
sought homes among us. Yet the
simple story of love for woman and
honor toward fellow man constitutes
the great interest in spite of a finely
wrought pattern of descriptive detail.
There is brilliant acting in the pro.
duction, The title role is assumed by
Pedro de Cordoba with a poetic grace
which appeals, both to the eye and to
the ear. His speeches are, in the main,
orations: yet they are delivered with
an unaffected earnestness that gives
them the force Of natural speech.

LONDON, September Arrange
ments are under way to eouip a
scientific expedition into the unex-

Guinea, a region that was formerly
part Of the German East Indian
possessions
Under the leadership OF V. 4. G.

party will pentrate as far up the lii
tie known Sepik River as IL is nayiga-
BILE by launch and there form base

then cross over the uneXplored coun-

Rivers and then proceed down the
latter toward the coast on RATS con.
structed by the members of the ex-
pedition. in the hope of meeting one
of the patrols of the Papuan govern
ment.
In the years Immediately preceding
the war German expedition went up
the Sepik for some distance. and an
advance party reached the Victor
Emmanuel range on the north of the
source. II is believed that there Is a
large lake lying between these noun
tains and the Mueller Range on the
south. which is the common source
Of both the Sepik and the Fly Rivers
This whole region is quite unex-
rlored, and it is expected that a vast
store of important scientific informa-
ton will be obtained. New Guinea
abounds In plants and animals little
known to science. and the primitive
people Of the interior, still in a savage
state untouched by civilization, are
entirely wild. In particular, valuable
data should be obtained relating to
the pygmy peoples of whom travellers
hear and only occasionally see, al
though some tribes of them have been
described partially by previous ex.
plorers in other Of the mountainous
parts Of New Guinea.
The expedition will set out under
the joint auspices Of the Royal Geo
graphical Society. the Royal Anthro-
biological Institute. the committee for
anthropology Of the University of Ok
ford and the British Association for
