STILL DREAM OF TSARS
White Guards Abroad Keep on Hobiue

PARIS, Nov. a. - Grand Duke
Nicholas Nicholaievitch, head of the
monarchist White Guards, left his
heavily fortified chateau at Cheigny,
south of Paris, for Antilles today to
recuperate from his unsuccessful eff
forts to finance another army of in
vasion against the Soviet Union.
1t was reported in Russian emigre
circles in Paris that Nicholas intends
to abandon his counter revolutionary
efforts and leave his post as supreme
chief of the White Guards, COM
posed of former officers of the
Wrangel and Denikin armies, to
others who still hope that they will
be able to overthrow the workers
and peasants government.
Efforts Fail.
He was elected head of the White
Guards at an emigre congress in
Paris several years ago. Ever since
his escape from the Soviet Union,
via the Crimea, he has tried to in
cite the governments of Europe into
another war of invasion, but he was
unsuccessful due to the increasing
power of the Soviet Union and the
fear of workers uprisings in
Europe.

A HIGHLY improbable drama whose
IA entertainment value is it's only
asset, is now playing at the Republic
Theatre where "Abie's Irish Rose"
was presented those many years. 1t
is called Crashing Through" and
is written by Saxon King, former
actor. 1t is his first play.
The story concerns the aristocra-
tic Poole family who live in Gram
Grey Park and who trace their an
cestry back to the time New York
was known as New Amsterdam. Into
their usual day by day activity is
thrust riveter working on a build
ing adjoining their home. Failing
from the uncompleted structure he
lands in the Poole's sun parlor.
Hence the title Crashing Through"
Of course, Poole's daughter,
Consuelo, is on hand to meet the
handsome young worker, and as ex-
pected they fall in love and logically
conduct an affair. Events follow one
another in neat coordination and the
alert spectator can easily tell what
is going to happen next. The re-
deeming feature is the entertaining
way it is presented and the fine act
ing of a notable cast.
The last act is the best part of
the three. 1t shows dinner party
at the Poole home in which the
guests include Consuelo's father and
his fiancee and Consuelo's mother
and her fiancee. Others present is
the riveter, Grandma Poole and a
bishop.
Consuelo in plain English an
nounces to the dinner guests that
she is about to become mother.
and of course they are all severely
shocked. She says that as her lover
is a worker, they decided not to
marry. However, Grandma Poole
gets into action and convinces the
conveniently available bishop to
marry them. Thus the blessing Of
God is bestowed on the unborn child
Then the fireworks begin. The
