The mountains look on Marathon
And Marathon looks on the sea;
And musing there an hour alone,
I dreamed that Greece might still
be free.
These words, written by Lord Byron
more than a century ago, were brought
vividly to mind as Hitler's mechanical
warriors completed their conquest of
Greece last week, the fourteenth nation
to come under the Nazi yoke since 1888.
Hellas has been ruled by alien conquerors
before, and wherever the flag of democ-
racy flies there are millions who, like
Byron at Marathon, are looking for
ward to the day when Greece will re-
gain her freedom.

Though the British and their Greek
comrades in arms scored a moral victory,
the material gains were won by the Nazis.

the British from their foothold in the

The mother begs her daughter to call
Esteban, Father" just once, but the girl
cannot make herself do it. She falls into his
arms forced to confess that she cannot live
without him. The mother, played in the
American production, by Nance ONeal.
threatens to kill her daughter, but Esteban,
now mad with passion, kills his wife instead.
AS the mother dies, she knows that death
will also free her daughter from the love Of
Esteban. who must pay the full penalty for
his crime.
Had the stage mother let her husband go
with her daughter, as did Eula, in real life,
perhaps the playwright may have suspected
what would follow. The scorching passion,
too hot to last, would have burned out in one
or the other-of- thsHa--bat- thet-wotid- have
been an anti-climax.
That anti-climax appeared In real-life in
the person Of an attractive young socalite of
impressive wealth, exactly the type Of mate
Eleanor should have logically chosen in the
first place.
But that very fact drops her from the
pinnacle of the grotesque and improbable
down to the hum-drum level Of common sense.
The tragedy of it all now centers almost
entirely in the unhappy Romeo. Having de-
nounced Fascism, he is man without coun-
try. He is too sick to earn living and is
made scker at the alternative of living on
wife of another man.
Upon receiving notice of the coming di-
vorce he said:
Il still love her but / will do nothing
TO stand in the way of her happiness"
Oddly enough, Romeo's attitude is an echo
Of that of her first husband Floyd jefferson.
Jr. whom she divorced TO marry the Italian.
Throughout the divorce proceedings and dur
ing Elaenors marriage to Romeo Floyd stood
by, loyal friend, ready TO defend his former
wife against all criticism.
But there isn't much Floyd or Romeo
can do now.
If Eula. with, the double authority Of wife
and mother, to say nothing Of millions. was
unable to stop Eleanor from marrying her
stepfather, what chance has penniless Romeo.
from his sick bed, to prevent more reason
able match?
Perhaps he has philosophically concluded:
For never was a story OF more woe
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo"
Strangely enough, Eula's other daughter,
Emily. Mrs. John F. Jordan. was able 10 gaze
upon the man who had proved irresistible 20
both her mother and sister without the slight
est emotional disturbance.

the following confession to his wife of his love
for her daughter:
You can't say didn't love you. loved
you more every day! But when l felt her
by my side my blood took fire. When we
sat down to eat was afraid TO look up
Wherever turned she was there before me
Always At night, when I was lying close
TO you in the midnight silence of the house.
all / could feel was her"
The day Eleanor and Romeo received the
news of Romeo's freedom, the two were mar
ried at the American Consulate.
But hardly had Eula let go her legal grip
on him than Britain seized the newly-wed and
put him in a concentration camp as an enemy
alien and pro-Fascist.
The reason was that Italy had just joined the
war Hong Kong was no longer free and easy.
Eleanor went TO work on the military au-
thorites finally convincing them that her
husband was far from a pro-Fascist.

He did not win it but got a severe cold
instead which fingered into tuberculosis of
the lungs Eleanor sent him to sanatorium
for treatment, at San Jose.
That was a year ago and for while his
confinement was frightened by constant visits
from the woman he loved But before long
these visits became less and less frequent and
finally she said she simply couldn't continue
them any longer.
OF course, she continued TO pay Romeos
bill at the sanatorium but her letters grew
shorter, rarer and cooler. The handsome
Italian began TO feel what was happening
The author Of The Passion Flower" the
great Spanish playwright Jacinto Benevente,
ended his play by swapping violently the
tangled skeins of that romance. Esteban
realizing that the situation was impossible
and unable TO enf IRE the torture Of IL, offers
to go away from, both women but neither the
mother nor daughter would hear of it.

counted big bills into his hand-money from
Honolulu.
The lovers were soon reunited and. never
mind what people might be whispering, they
were happy. Eleanor won her divorce from
Mr. jefferson, but she and Romeo could not
marry because her mother had not yet di-
vorced him.
The immigration authorities began to see
flaws in Romeo's passport until it looked like
deportation either TO Italy or the u s. A.
AS a lesser evil they chose free and-easy
Hong Kong. where one could hire five ser
wants for the price of one American, even
though the whole five wouldn't do as much
work. There they received the glad news that
Mama had divorced Romeo.
II is said that Eula obtained a copy of
The Passion Flower" and that il made her
understand the hopelessness Of her May

left China as
soon as passage could
be arranged and went
back to California.
There Romeo indeed
looked for work. but he
lacked experience In
doing anything that
anyone seemed to need.
His smile, good looks
and delightful dancing
could not be sold, even
in Hollywood.
One day, as he stood
in line, a cold rain
descended on the wait
ing applicants. Romeo
was one of the few who
remained to take the
long drenching. hoping

reward.

Mrs. Gasparini did every
thing 20 have the two go
places together but always
Eleanor found excuses. At
the breakfast table the girl,
instead OF looking into
Romeo's soulful, brown eyes,
preferred 20 gaze at two
homely fried eggs on her
plate.
The mothers evaporation
rose TO real anger when
Eleanor suddenly packed up
and departed, saying that
she would not wait for a
divorce i'm Florida. She said
she would like one in
Honolulu.
For several days Mrs.
Gasparini never ceased ask
ing Mr.. .Gasparini what could
possibly be the matter with
the girl. Finally he told her:
"She want to come TO
Papa but 1 am not Papa, /
am Romeo. So she go away.
Now Romeo he gotta go TO
his Julieta or she stab
herself in the corset,
like Shakespeare.
Thanks for every
thing. l had a lovely

Mrs. Ca sparini
had taken Romeo
without asking
Eleanor's consent, and
now Eleanor had
done the same thing
TO her. She had lost
both husband and
daughter but, per- y
haps she could win
the daughter back.
Eula had been his

from Italy and his
meal ticket ever since
but now she wondered
