Newman Talks On
Spanish Overthrow

The last vestige of monarchial
dignity, court splendor and
knightly romance that has en-
dured for centuries, seems to have
passed, with the overthrow of
the kingdom of Spain and the
abdication Of Alphonso XIII, the
last of the House of HapSburgs,
to reign in Europe.
In its stead has been borne
the new Republic and it was
from this particular page of
history that E. M. Newman,
veteran travel artist, selected his
subject for the second of his
current series at the National
Theater yesterday afternoon.
Actual scenes, taken at the
height of the revolution, during
the two-day reign of terror when
Madrid, the capital city was be-
sieged by the mobs of republic
adherentS, proved the highlight
in the raconteur'S afternoon dis.
course.
During the forepart of the
program, time was allotted for a
jaunt to Granada, where the
splendor of the Alham'Ga, the
remaining remnant of Moorish
civilization of Spain, was beheld.
Despite the ravages of time, it
undoubtedly remains an archi-
tectural gem of beauty. A brief
trek in the Catalonia country,
with Barcelona, as the center of
activity, proved unusually inter.

times he was informed that If

he would have to meet Rebec-
cas- parents.
"a few nights later he met
the family. The father asked
him what his business was and
when the man replied that he
was a cutter, the entire family
took to him at once. In those
days a cutter worked in a cloak
and suit house and received an
excellent salary.
Accordingly, a short time
later, Rebecca and the boy
friend were officially engaged.
A few weeks before the mar
riage Rebecca and some friends
were walking down Rivington
Street. Suddenly the girl
turned white. There, standing
in front of a push cart, was
her fiance. A knife in his
hand. he was selling liverwurst

Skipped His Courses
I'm some way or another he
managed to fake his way
through his course in dissec-

wouldn't permit him to put
knife in the unhappy picked
cadaver before him. Instead OF
witnessing at close hand the
marvellous operations performed
in the operating theater of the

at the arc lights shining so

Miss Andre, it. has been de-
