Bmlwey-Lytt0n,S 'Rlchelieu"
Revived by Walter H0mbden

Walter Hampden has added an
other notable characterization to his
repertoire in that he is appearing
in the version of Sir Edward Bull
wer's play, "Richelieu,' which has
been prepared by Arthur Goodrich.
The entire scenic production has
been designed and supervised by
Claude Bragdon and staged and d.
rected by Goodrich and Hampden.
The play, almost century old,
still shows remarkable life, undoubt-
eddy, due to the skillful undermining
by Goodrich. Much archaic stage
technique has been eliminated, with
much left that is still dramatically
effective.
Hampden, in the title role, does
excellently, the part providing a
wide range of dynamics for his his
trionic abilities.
The plot is too we'll known to be
outlined here. 1t concerns the con-
spiracy of Count de Baradas, aided
and abetted by CASTOR, Duke of
Orleans, against Richelieu's power
and the weak and indecisive Louis
XIII of France.

Gastonia defendants, sentenced to
five to seven years in the North
Carolina prisons for defending HIM
self and his fellow workers against
the attack of police and thugs,
jumped to his feet.
"No, you can't say that" Hendrix
said. "You got to go back and tell
the Negro and white workers where
you've been. It's your duty to tel
them you've been to the Conference
of the international Labor Defense

you. If I'm near you myself l prom
