Romb, Passion, Poison in

THE story of 18th Century papal
intrigue as told by the film "Lu-
erecia Borgia" at the Little Car
negie Playhouse on West 57th ST.,
is interesting, but hardly instruc-
tive. True, the producers labor under
difficulties, as they state that "cen-
sors being what they are" they can
not go into the welter of lust and
incest that marked the rule of the
Borgias under Pope Alexander vi.
Both Lucrec.a and Cesare Borgia,
are termed niece and nephew" in
S ;ad of son and daughter of Alex
ander, who had quite harem and
begot children ad lib in true Catholic
fashion. Not only is the pope pic
tured as sanity person, free from
cCruption that flowed around him.
but Lucrecia herself is held up as a
slightly tarnished angel worthy of
receiving a deeoratio; of virtue in
at least the second degree. The sins
Of tn family and Of the age are
loaded upon her brother, Cesare, who
is made the goat. And even he is
falsely shown as re -igning his posi-
ton as cardinal in the church be-
fore committing various l.:r.;:s,ders, in
order that the present day Catholic

rotten lec-~y gwen it by the = Sias.
Not a word is said nor a scene
shown of the bastard "infant of
Rome" the child of Lucrecia by her
father the pope, who tried to unload
the blame for it on Cesare, her
brother and his son. Nor is it men,
toned that the pope, whose hospi-
ta,.ty toward his guests was some
times mixed with poisoned wine.
passed the papacy to his successor
by reason of getting glasses mixed
and accidentally drinking his own
poison. When guest at the Vatican
heard the invitation "Have a drink"
he fled, or at least had reason to
look on it with the same suspicion
as New Workers on much of the
metropolitan bootleggers' "pre-war
stuff"
Lucrecia, who in fact took her
first official hu., and when 13 years
'old, is s..s wn far past the age of
consent recording to present stand

pope, who wished her to get rid of
his husband to marry another for
3olitical reasons, and failing to kill
him because he fled, gave Lucrecia

men of Shanghai are protesting at
the rise of a certain commodity of

The business men are rated in i'm

the Marking government officials
spend SO much Time and money in
Shanghai, the business men are
alarmed at the rise of prices in the

While second rate wives for the

around $500, Shanghai money, or
about S48 U. S. currency, the big
merchants demand is for the guar

At this conference, prominently

In a statement issued several days

the speed-up system on the textile
workers while trying to disguise its
true viciousness by getting the sane

ity, are nothing but open agents of
