Romeo and )ullet' Presented
by CHIC Rebeytoyy PLAYERS

Eva lie Caffeine and her Civic
Repertory Theatre, which has given
the more discriminating theatergoer
some fine productions during the
last few seasons, reaches its high
est peak of perfection with its
presentation of William Shake
speare's tragedy, "Romeo and JUL
let" now showing at the 18th St.
Playhouse. Not only has Miss lie
Gallienne personally directed the
play but also plays the role of
Juliet in a manner that will not be
forgotten for many nights to come.
While Fritz Leibers' group of
Shakespearian plays presented re-
Gently in New York were we'll done
and deserved praise, they appear as
a pygmy when matched with the
spectacle of the Civic organization.
Although unable personally to COM
pare with many past presentations
of this play, l can state without
fear that it can easily be classed
among the best ever given by an
American theatrical group. 1t can
be considered as the opening of
new epoch of success for the Civic
Repertory Theatre.
The dictation of the entire cast is
clear and is>spoken in manner that
makes it easy to follow. In this

"'In this old prison cells are eight

a toilet, which is emptied only once
in twenty-four hours, and then is
not clean because there is no disin-

hundreds of buckets is overpower-
ing. Water is gotten by holding out
a tin cup between the bars and hav-

readily understand that the result
of the fetid bucket and the food
was that the inflammation began

way the play has been modernized,
which is welcome improvement.
Another unique arrangement is the
manner in which the orchestra is
brought into play and becomes part
of the stage. Members of the cast
cross the footlights constantly and
help bring the action to the au-
dience. The scenery, designed by A.
Bernstein, is very beautiful. The
cast of the play is very well made

20 ON TRIAL IN KOREA
FOR BEING COMMUNISTS

TOKIO,-The trial of the 30 Ko-
rean Communists arrested in Janu-
airy and February last and charged
with being members of the Korean
Bureau Of the Japanese Communist
Party has opened before the court
here. Only small section of the
crowds who gathered in front of the
court building were permitted to en-
ter the courtroom. A short while af-
ter the opening of the proceedings a
defending lawyer began to desribe
the brutal maltreatment accorded to
the prisoners at the hands of the
police and in prison. The court then
decided to exclude the general pub
lie and conduct the case in camera.
This was done.

Bosses Negro, White
Agents Get Together

NEW YORK.-The National Ur-
ban League, whose Official organ,
Opportunity" pretends to fight
against the craft basis and jim-crow
practices of the A. F. of L., is CO.
operating with the A. F. of L. COM
pany union in the needle industries,
the I. L. G. w, to betray the Negro
needle, workers into support Of that
reactionary organization.
Last night a meeting of Negro
dressmakers called by the I. L. c. w.
was held in the office of the Urban
League, with j. Philip Randolph, the
prize faker Of the Pullman Porters
Union, and two organizers of the I,
L. G.. W., Spillman and Cohen, hand
ing out the bull. Randolph made a
grand" speech, in which he care
fully omitted all mention Of struggle
against wage-cuts, speed-up and lay
offs. The I. L. G. w. organizers
handed out the same line of bunk,
designed to quiet the dissatisfaction
Of the Negro dressnnakers, who were
practically told that the I. L. G. w.
had done SO much for them in con-
descending to accept them into the
organization that they should Just
keep quiet, suffer, and pay their dues
in spite of the crisis and the attacks
on the living standards.
Every effort was made to stifle
discussion from the floor. Cecil Hope,
a militant Negro worker, who has
been active among the needle trade
workers in this city, was refused the
floor. Hope protested and seized the
floor, denouncing the tricks of the
I. L. G. w. takers and exposing them
before the workers. OF the 40 work
ers present many sided with Hope
and expressed dissatisfaction with
the chairman's attitude.
Maude White, another Negro
worker who attempted to take the
floor, was attacked by Cohen, one of
the I. L. G. w. organizers, who at
tempted to force her to sit down and
knocked batch of leaflets out OF
her hands. She fought back and in
sisted on distributing the leaflets,
the workers rallying around her and
grabbing the leaflets, which con-
tanned an exposure OF the I. L. G., w.
takers. The leaflets also called upon
the Negro needlt trade workers to
