An audience that ate up every
thing and sat up to beg for more,
witnessed the first night of

very particular plaudits for more
than half a dozen important MEM

bers as well. The responsive audi
ence must have made them all
little glad and little sorry for
their coming vacation.
The best advice this department
can give to those who haven't
seen Rain" is to go to the Ma
tional and get educated. Those
who have seen other productions
should try the National recipe. too.
For either class, the play this
week will be a thrilling and enjoy
able experience.
Rain" is not pap for infants
according to the rumors which
has been going the rounds these
may moons. 1t is a strong, close
welded, intense drama of religious
hysteria, repressions. life in the
tropics and hearts laid bare. It's
characters run the scale OF Vir-
tue and vice. Almost every class
of human being, from the moral
istic concept, may be discovered
in the cost. There are the zeal
Gus missionaries, the very human
in-betweens and the unredeemed
Sadie Thompson.
The story is that of a strug.
gle between Sadie, a daughter OF
joy, and the Reverend Davidson,
a missionary, in the port or Pago
Pago. The strange conversion OF
Sadie lasts until one night when
the missionary, victim of repres-
sions, is broken by the psychic
and mental ordeal and capitu-
lates to his converts human
charms. Then he goes out and
kills himself.
That sounds like a simple, ser'
did story, but it's no use trying
to tell it otherwise in such space
as is allotted here. Suffice it to
saw that this play, built by John
Cotton and Clemence Randolph
from a short story by Somerset
Maugham, will endure for many
years.
TO Edith King go the prime
honors for her work as Sadie in
a blonde wig. William +. Blake,
special importation, has the
trying role of Davidson and ac-
complishes his task with skill
and finesse. Adelaide Hibbard's
work as the missionary'sn wife is
little short of magnificent. Roper
Pryor is almost buried as Sergeant
O'Hara, but he has a few big
moments which he handles in
the best Pryor fashion. A big
hand, too. must be given Charles

the rest.

FOOD STRIKERS
Strike Will Continue,
Kramberg Says

Twelve cafeteria strikers were
yesterday released on a writ of
habeas corpus signed by Supreme
Judge Leighton.
The order was obtained by Philip
Wittenberg, lawyer for the cafeteria
workers union, on the ground that
the special sessions court which con-
victed the strikers had no jurisdic-
ton.
Others jailed.
The released workers had been
sentenced to serve 60 days in jail for
violating an injunction obtained by
the Willow Cafeterias, Inc. Over
100 other strikers also sentenced to
90 days in the Workhouse on the
same charge are expected to be re-
leased in the next few days.
In Jefferson Market Court Magis-
trate McQuade yesterday sentenced
6 cafeteria strikers to So fine or
one day in Jail. They chose to spend
day in Jail. They had been ar
rested in the mass picketing demon
stration in front of the Princeton
Cafeteria, 9th St. and 9Th Avenue
on Monday. Four others were dis
charged and four cases adjourned to
June 20.
There are now 33 cafeteria owners
who have signed an agreement with
the union, involving over 600
workers.
Beginning of Fight.
"This is only the beginning of the
fight for union conditions in the
cafeterias of New York." Kramberg
declared. "The union has made a
very excellent beginning in this
pioneer strike of the food workers
who have suffered so long from
open-shop exploitation. Our mem
bership has doubled. Every day sees
more workers joining the union from
cafeterias which have not yet been
struck. In the course of time we
will have city-wide strike that will
be on a much larger scale than the
present strike"
