 UNACCOUN7ED FOR
SuT TOTS Tell Vivid Stories Of
 Battle With Death
SHARKS TEAR AT BODIES
Captain simon Guli, Veteran Com- mandcr of Ship, Went Down With His Vcssci-Some Allcge He Com- mitscd Suicide: Others Deny It,

Rio Janeiro, Brazil, Oct. 2S A)-- More than 800 persons, many of them women and children. were still missing today from the ill-fatcd Italian liner Principessa Mafalda, which sank off the Brazilian coast Tuesday night in the midst of scenes of suffering and panic.
 Through the veil of confusion and contradictory adviCes from the scene of the disaster, came more definite reports today when the Dutch liner Athena came into port carrying 531 survivors and the French liner Formosa with S53 sur vivors. The French steamer Mos ella landed 30 passengers and 22 members of the ships crew at Bahia yesterday, thus accounting for 93G of the 1,25G persons aboard the stricken Italian steamer.
 Even then rescue figures varied. the agents of the Mafalda at Buenos Aires placing the number saved at 932, while the Italian embassy at Rio Janeiro placed the number at 925.
 Thrilling Stories Told
 Through the medley of stories, some of them almost incoherent, | poured out by the exhausted surviv- orS, came stories of heroism, of panic and of suffering and terror in the darkness of Tuesday night.
 Tho cause of the disaster was ob- [ scured in conflicting stories told by those snatched from the jaws of | death. Some declared that the ship i had been torn by an explosion while | others said that the ship simply had | foundered in from four to five hours when water swept into her by a break in a screw shaft hold.
 Some Tell of Sharks
 Some, still haunted by the terror of the night. told of seeing sharks tearing at the bodies of victims, but l. other survivors scoffed at this de- claring they had seen no sharks.
 Captain Simon Guli. veteran com mander of the sunken vessel, went | down with the ship. That much ap- pearod certain although reports as to hoN, he died varied. One group of passengers said that he commit. ted suicide; another that he had been engufcd in the sea, crying Viva Italia" as the waters swept over the bridge from which he had directed rescue operations.

RUSSIAN PAPERS
 PRINT OLD NEWS
Satisfied With Items Several
 Days Late

Moscow. May (UP)-speed Is one thing which Soviet newspaper editors are not troubled about. The American and European idea of a newspaper is not understood in So- viet Russia. Compared to . Russian journalist. shepherd watching his flock Is a dynamo of energy.
 If a Soviet newspaper can print a speech within four days of the time 1t is delivered. 1t Is satisfied. News and newspapers are an absolute monopoly in the Soviet Union and tho editors adopt and discard poli- cies with the simultaneous precision of . well-drilled infantry platoon. Tho idea seems to be that. as long as all the newspapers print the same news at the same time, it does not matter how long after the event the news is published.
 Important speeches usually ap- pear in the press from three to five days late and are usually carried along from day to day like a serial story. Foreign news dispatches are also often carried. When Secretary of State Kellogg told the United States senate about alleged bolshe- vik activities in Central America and Mexico. extracts of his address did not appear in the Soviet newspapers until five days later. The Soviet foreign office needed almost a week in which to reply to his statements, by which time Secretary Kellogg's s speech had almost been forgotten in the excitement of the next sensation.
 The Russian newspapers are as obedient as they are slow. They all criticized England for . time. then suddenly they all stopped critlcizins England and began to attack the red tape" in their own organiza- tions. Like an artillery barrage, every editorial pen turned smoothly to the new target.
 Every newspaper In Russia has the same news. distributed by the governments news agency mon- opoly, the Tass. Even local news is gathered by Tass reporters and printed exactly as received. No point of view except that of the government can reach the Russian people.

Theatre Guild to Do
O'NeilPs Newest Play

The Theatre Guild has acquired
Eugene O'Neill's "Marco Millions"
and will produce the play next sea-
son. Negotiations have been carried
on with O'Neill, who is now in Ber-
muda. Marco Millions" is that much
discussed play which every important
Broadway manager has had in his
possession from time to time, but
which they all relinquished because Of
what they considered the excessive
cost Of production. The version which
the Guild has acquired has been re-
vised by the author from his original
drafts.
The play deals with the life and
times Of Marco Polo, and as O'NeiIl
expresses it in the foreword to a pub
hshed version issued by Boni & Liv-
eright, is san attempt TO render
poetic justice to one long famous az
a traveller, unjustly world-renowned
as liar but sadly unrecognized by
posterity in his true eminence rs a
man and citizen-Marco Polo Of
Venice" The title may be explained
by Marcos devoted passion to the ac-
QUESTION Of money, passion which
grew and grew until he, too, could
be counted as a possessor of millions.
This is the first play Of O'Neill's
which has been published prior 20
the stage production. The Guild is
planning to stage it in a most am
bilious fashion. Two Of his plays
were revived this season, "Beyond the
Horizon" and Emperor JONES'" but
this will be the first new play for
some time.

- DRAMA III
Paul Green Writer Of American
FOlk-Plays

THE author of in Abraham's
L Bosom" which was awarded the
Pulitzer Prize for 1926, is called a
"Trail-breaker in the literature OF
the South" by Frederick Koch, the
founder of the Carolina Piaymakers-
a little theatre group whose fame has
spread some distance from Carolina,
where the organization first produced
Paul Green's folk plays.
The young instructor Of philosophy
in the University Of North Carolina,
was born on a farm in HaTnett County
in Eastern Carolina. "He is as much a
part of North Carolina" continues Mr.
Koch, Gas the soil from which he
springs. His plays are as indigenous
as the pine tree to his sand-hills. Like
the tree his roots strike deep. And
from the raw materials of the land
he draws forth the life itself in au-
thentie folk-plays. His first play
produced by our Carolina Playmakers,
The Last of the LowIies,' a roman
tic tragedy of the CrOatan outlaws of
Robson County, was drawn from
materials familiar to him since his
earliest childhood. The play stirred
the audience strangely. Here was a
sound aFtist,-a new playwright of
tragic power and poetic impulse"
A man Of imagination, with a
strong yearning for beauty, the
glamor and adventure of old tales
find colorful expression in his plays.
And there is lyric note, too, in
trinsie in Green's dramatic writing
as in the weird strains of the pirate
ehantey Of Bloody Ed in the BLACK
beard" play, and in the strange music
Of the white lady at the spinet in
"The Old Man of Edenton" None the
less is this true Of his starkly realis-
tic drama drama Of repressed
yearnings and of bitter revolt. The
twilight singing Of the fieldhands in
the bleak tragedy of the tenant-farm
preacher in "The Lords WILL" and
the songs of the young folks enioyin'
themselves ON Christmas Eve in "Old
Wash Lucas" translate the neglected
lives Of the drab scene to the serene
rhythm Of art.
Paul Green is profoundly interested
in the creation of a Negro theatre.
He is one of the foremost workers in
this field today. Such plays as
white Dresses" "Sam Tucker" "The
End of the Row." "The Hot Iron,"
"The No Count Boy" and an Abra-
hams Bosom" have made a distinc-
tive contribution to our contemporary
drama. They reveal an almost un-
canny insight into the character of
the negro and a rare feeling for the
imagery and the melody of his race
life.
