CHAPTER LXXXV
Sonia helped her mother. She sat
long hours basting and hemming for
Stockton customers. In these hours
Of quiet sewing and talking, she grew
to appreciate her mother as never
before. The patience of a genius, the
skill of an artist belonged to Anna
Marsh. Because she was able to Gre
ate beautiful things, she had found
peace in her dressmaking. For her
there was pure Joy in colors and
lines.
Under Sonia's loving attention, she
blossomed into half-shy youthful
ness. They went to church together;
to the movies; to party at Vera's.
She developed a smile. which de-
lighted Sonia, as no words of graft
tude could have done. She had sue
ceeded in helping her mother achieve
happiness. What a relief 1t must
have been to know that her guilty
secret was shared, yet she was not
condemned!
1t would soon be graduation time
again. Sonia planned to return to
San Francisco before her friends
came home from college. She had
decided to ask Jed Thomas to help
her secure a position, although she
could never go back to the real estate
office. So she whote to him and had

W DRAMA IN
POETIC DRAMA
big Lake" Is Long on Poetry,
Short on Drama.

Reviewed BY HARBOR ALLEN
Barrett Clark, the critic, finds in
Lynn Riggs the coming poet of the
American theatre. Judging by Riggs
first play, big Lake." at the Ameri-
can Laboratory Theatre, he has a
long way to go.
"Big Lake" is a pseudo-primitive
play about Oklahomans. 1t has one
dramatic scene, close to standard
melodrama. A murder, bad woman
with good heart, moonshiner trying
to shake off his bloody trail, crazy
boy drowned in the lake, sheriffs, gun
play. The rest is poetry" Thin po-
etry, too: long, monotonous passages
that sound like a primer: II like the
lake. All, Big Lake. It's so nice. It
sparkles in the sun. 1t is like a cup
of gold. Don't you like the lake?
Why don't you like the lake?" These
may not be the exact words: it is the
effect.
"Big Lake" would have made
passable one-act play. The rest is
padding. AS for the poetry, it sticks
out like prize gimeracks in a cake.
Very immature acting only adds to
the sense of thinness.

Ruthenberg Enrolment and the
HANDS OFF CHINA CAMPAIGN.

One Of the main organizational
tasks to be achieved in the Ruthen.
berg Enrolment for the Party is the
increase Of the regularity Of dues
payments by Party members. These
efforts have already netted some SUBJ
stantial results.
Not all the dues reports are at hand
yet. Still it is obvious that tho the
drive has not yet gained full momem-
tum in the month Of March, still tbs
dues payments will be considerably
higher this month than in any of the
previous months since the last con.
vention.
The advance in dues payments for
the month of March is not limited I
to one district, but is general turnout

BILL TO CREATE LABOR
 COMMISSIONER DEFEATED

Juneau, April 4. (P-Voting six to four, the Territorial Senate de- feated the measure which provided for a Labor Commissioner to decide disputes arising between employers and employees. The measure was regarded as impractica ble as well as unavoidable, and liable to cause a useless and expensive bureau. The House defeated the bill for the prohibition of the sale of cigarettes to minors. as already being covered by the 1919 laws. Many amend Ments were offered to the Comp troller Bill which the Senate is still ccasidering. Indications are that a hard fight will be had before final passage of the measure The House Committee held a second hearing on the Industrial Insurance bill and as ro defense of the measure has been forthcoming, indications are that the committee will recommend that the measure be defeated.
