Cornell Drama
October II

Katharine Cornell appears IN

week beginning on Monday night,

Florence Reed will be seen as

Romeo, Ralph Richardson as Mer-
cutio and Charles Waldron as
Friar Laurence. The production
was directed by Guthrie McClin-
tic, the scenes and costumes we're
designed by 10 Mielziner, and the
dances were arranged by Martha
Graham. The curtain will rise at
S:l5 O'Clock sharp at nights and

she has endeavored to treat his

She has restored scenes not
acted in this century in America,
presenting what is probably the
most complete text ever seen in
this country in the professional
theater. The drama is acted in
two parts with only one intermls-
sion, the intention being not TO
break the spell and sweep of the
romance.
Though Juliet is Miss Cornell's
first ShakeSpearean character,
Florence Reed has acted two other
classic parts, Ophelia with E. H.

Macbeth in the Gordon Craig

government in sweeping decree man.

tries as Japan gains made at the ex-
penSe of American interests in re-

American cotton textile interests
we're handed back one of the choicest
Of foreign markets.
The decree, aimed at products from
countries where cheap labor, cheap
money or subsidized industry prevail
set high tariffs to block the further
entry Of such products into Cuba
These measures are not applicable tc
American-made products.
The decree sets up national tariff
commission and provides that max
imum tariff be levied against coun-
tries in the so-called cheap labor
cheap money or government subsidy
class, as we'll as countries whose pur-
chases of Cuban goods do not meet
certain specified values.
1t provides that the maximum be
levied against nations whose pur-
chases of Cuban products are valued
at less than 25 per cent of the amount
of that nations sales in Cuba.
Nations under that classification
include Japan, Russia, Italy. Indo-
China. Denmark, Turkey, Norway and
a dozen more.
Nations which purchase from Cuba

own sales in Cuba, are given the ad-

Federation Meeting Ar.

Next Week.

A drive to raise $4,000 to finance
the activities of the Washington Fed
Grafton of Churches during the coming
year will be launched next week under
leadership of w. Q. Tufts, general
chairman Of the campaign.
The drive was planned at meeting
Of 100 federation workers last night
in Scholls cafe. Considerable emphasis
will be laid upon law enforcement
by the federation during the coming
year.
The principal speaker at the meeting
was Wilbur La Roe, jr., chairman of
the District Parole Board and of the
federation's Civic Committee.
Referring to his recent testimony
before House subcommittee investi-
eating crime conditions in Washing
ton, La Roe said: I'm my appearance
before the Crime Committee I gave
evidence that law enforcement in the
District blew hot and blew cold. For
10 months in 1888 there were no
arrests for gambling. Then in the
next three months there were 80.
What we want is law enforcement all
the time"
The drive for funds will be the
second conducted by the federation,
which last year raised about $4,000
for operating expenses and to finance
a broader field of activities Other
speakers at the meeting were Maurice
r. Hamm, director, and w. L. Darby,
federation executive secretary.
