In addition, the adjacent French concession, about 2S00 acres, contains ap. proximately 1000 foreigners and 300,000 Chinese.
 The Settlement, particularly the British concession, comprises cen. tral Shanghai and here Is the rich commerciaL quarter and the famous river front or Dund. The main residential district iS the French area. Great parts of the Settlement are given over to eom- plete industrialization.

 CINCINNATI, Nov. 6. - Mrs. Hahn, thirty-one-year-old blonde mother, was convicted of first de- gree murder for the poison death of Jacob Wagner, aged 78, a re- tired gardener.
 The jury which brought in the verdict only few hours after the completion of the trial, did not recommend leniency, and therefore the death penalty is mandatory.

Nevertheless, the current presenta-
ton has its merits. The chief one Is
the, performance of Miss Ruth Gilbert
in the role of the girl looking for love
and excitement and some meaning in
life. the part so beautifully played
originally by Miss Walker. g 1t is true
that Miss Gilbert lacks some OF the
poignant lyricism of Miss Walker in
the role. but her playing never falls
to be moving and fresh and vital. II
is assuredly one of the loveliest per-
formances of the year and II does
much to maintain for professional
its qualities of beauty and excitement.
George Mathews is effective, too. as
Dynamite Jim, the worker who didn't
quite understand the meaning OF
things, but knew what side he was
on in a labor war. Mr.. Mathews per-
haps lacks some of the inner strength
that Mr.. Abbott brought TO the char
acter, but he plays with the proper
force and vigor. In many ways those
of us who we're enthusiasts for Pro
cessional' from the start are oound
to miss Donald Macdonald most oil
all. To the role of the newspaper man
Mr.. Macdonald brought a jauntiness
and a dancing rhythm that were IN
valuable to the mood OF the play. IL
is only toward the end Of the perform
ance that Fred Bael catches any of
the property quality. S. Boonio. as
the girls father, tries hard to be
Philip Loeb, but the effort is a little
beyond him.
IF YOU allow any such captious
reservations to keep you away
from the revival Of "Processionar'
you will be making great mistake.
Even in a worse production than the
Federal Theater has provided some
thing of the distinguished and ex-
citing quality Of the play would as
suredly come through. For 1t obvi-
ously is a work of enduring vitality.
odd, dynamic and fascinating. and 1t
has aged neither in manner nor sub
ject matter. 1t seemed TO me all the
more fascinating, then, to find the
New Masses proclaiming that the
work doesn't come alive again at al.
Far from it, it turns into disheart-
ening and discouraging mess which
casts only discredit on the Federal
Theater Project and Lawson. The
sodden miner-hero, his loud-laughing
and empty-headed fellow strikers. the
pompous and directionless strike lead
er-all Of these may have been moving
within the original frame of mysti-
cism and experimentation, hut to-
day they are caricatures." Here, I
suspect, you will find much more
about what is wrong with official
Left Wing criticism these days than
about Mr.. Lawson. All that is wrong
with professional" you gather. is
that its strikers are not perfect heroes,
strong. beautiful, sober and filled with
understanding Of social problems.
The New Masses reviewer might be
reminded that the action takes place
in 1925 and that its heroes didn't
have the inestimable advantage of -
more years of reading his educational
publication.
My own impression is that there is
more wrong with Professional" than
the lack of perfection in its heroes.
although happen to be enthusiastic
about the play. The fact that 1t
makes the West Virginia strikers of
1925 ignorant and rather puzzled peo-
pie, instead of conventional radical
heroes, seems to me one Of the great
virtues Of Mr.. Lawson's narrative.

Dropping into one of these eating

bright-eyed, husky young fellow who
radiated health and ambition like a

sunny day. When he brought my
order popped few questions at him.
