"The Sea w O m a n s
Cloak Realistic
Sea Drama.
By LEON BLUMENFELp.

TN its euphemistic production of
i plays and players, the American
Laboratory Theatre has attained an
altitude seldom approached by the
average "art" theatre. John Mason
Brown in his comment about roper
tory coming to Broadway, in the pro-
gram states: "The four theatres (The
Neighborhood Playhouse, The Ameri-
can Laboratory Theatre, The Theatre
Guild, and Eva lie Gallienne's newly
organized Civic Repertory Theatre)
that are pledged to repertory will, in
different ways, afford New York the
most vital experiment of recent sea-
sons. For years the need of roper
tory, its benefits to actors and its
value in creation of a perfected en-
semble have been persuasively stated
by theorists and practitioners alike"
Mr. Brown stresses an element
which is, incidentally deciding cir
cumstance in the position a theatre
occupies in the community. Roper
tory makes theatres.
"The Sea Woman's Cloak" which
is one of the five plays in the roper
tory of this comparatively new or
ganization, is production with not
few intrinsic qualities. Amelia
Rives princess Troubetzkoy) is its
author, and she has penned a highly
imaginative and far-reaching opus,
seconded by sincere craftsmanship
and snatches of sheer dramatic elo-
quence. 1t is a sea-tale of Ireland,
richly adored With simplicity-the
variety that only an organization
like the American Laboratory Theatre
can lend concentration. There are
wild and grotesque sequences that will
lnger in your memory for days after.
The matter of setting has been
handled adroitly and the views of a
sea-cave on the coast of Ireland and
the fisherman's cabin indicate the
humbleness that typifies the Irish.
Acting that defies reproach with the
exception of an instance here and
there, helps to enhance the color of
"The Sea Woman's Cloak" Walter
Duggan, as the intrepid fisherman,
Walter Hecht, in the part. of his
younger brother, coward at heart,
Martha johnson in the role of Ganore,
a mysterious sea-woman, Celeste Pr
WITT, and Dora Schwartz were all
capital in their respective character
izations. The village priest, por-
trayed by George Auerbach, was
somewhat boisterous in his part, but
fitted in his position neatly. :.
The Sea Woman's Cloak" is a
realistic drama, realistic in practical
ly every sense of the term, marred
by little and forceful and emphatic
in its movements. 1t has the stamp
of approval of this critic.

STATES
KELLOGC'S OFFER
BRITISH FIASCO
Says Japan's Friendship for
Soviet, Factor In Orient

MOSCOW, Jan. 81. - The United
States statement of policy with re-
gard to China is hailed in the Soviet
press as the signal of "the fiasco of
the English hopes to achieve a united
front of the powers against the Can
tonese."
Pravda points out that American
naval movements in China have not
been so obviously aggressive as the
English, although it remarks that
American admirals have conferred
with English admirals, which will be
disquieting to those who are demand
ing American neutrality.
Isvestia gives great prominence to
Toxic dispatches stating that Foreign
Minister Shidehara has reaffirmed
Japan's friendship for the Soviet
Union.
Halls Japanese Stand.
This declaration is of extreme sig
nificance for the constellation of the
powers 70 the far east" said Isvestia.
The Soviet press approves of Amer
ica's unwillingness to give up its
extra territorial lights but points out
that the "so-cal . open door policy
is clearly egotistic."

not interfering in Chinese affairs and

takes place in China, we won't mix

Of Moscow is stupid. "We will main

NEW JERSEY LENIN MEMORIAL MEETINGS
Lore COntradicted by
Member Present at
His Conference

Editor 1he DAILY MORkER:---
| am sending you an account of the
New York Volkszeitung conference
in which | wish to contradict some 0
Lore's assertions, which he printed
an answer to your editorial of las
Sunday. l am a member of the con
ference committee, and am intereste
to he'll some of the lies Of the righ
wing opposition of which Lore is tn
leader.
In an article in the Volkszeitung
dated, January %, about the Volks-
zeitung conference, Lore osserts tina
ten members of the conference were
excluded because they had at previous
meetings advanced political argc
ments, and thereby disturbed the
work of the conference.
Lore There.
Lore was present at the meeting
of Thursday January 20, the night
when the expulsion took place. He
is wrong when he says, that the ten
members were expelled in a regular
and ordinary fashion; they were not.
They were lynched, since every form
of written and unwritten law was
ignored. No charges We're preferred,
nor any cause for any charges shown.
The lynchers evidently based the rea
son for their expulsion policy on the
charge of an anti-Lore propaganda
article, which, it seems, was spon
sored by Lore himself.
Didn't know Victims.
That the railroading was carrie
on by conspiracy is proven by tn
fact that some of the right wingers
who voted for the expulsion, were un
known to those present, and did no
know, whom they w>re expelling
How artificial is the statement of
Lore can be seen by the fact that one
Of the expelled delegates had only onI
one occasion taken the floor, since
he is no speaker, and certainly did
not cause any disturbance. Besides,
the right wingers were always in the
and mostly held the floor,
tolerating nothing except such as was
suitable TO them.
Lore Laughed.
Lore's charge is therefore nothing
but loose parrot talk, and evaporates
in the air. The lynchers wanted their
victims, and Lore sat back in the hal, !,
enjoying himself. The spirit of these
lynchers was the same as among
those of the south, who, with the
same tactics of lawlessness beat
negroes TO death.
1t is up to the workers, and the
delegates to the confer
ence, to deal with such despots and
criminals in a most energetic manner,
so that the march of progress shall
not be hampered any longer.
With Greetings:
Ed. Mertins.
