Red Army Leaving Manchuria?

CHUNGKING, Mar. l3, P)- Russia has not yet informed China when the withdrawal of Soviet forces from Manchuria will be completed Vice Minister of For eign Affairs Liu said. He told a press conference the government has received no information of the Soviet evacuation of Mukden, which denoted the general with drawal from Manchuria.
 Chinese dispatches repor e d government soldiers were stream ing into Mukden and said the Russians had withdrawn from points east of the Railroad town of Tiehling, about 50 miles north. These dispatches gave the impress sion that part of Mukden is in Communist hands, but chronicled no large scale fighting.
 Ten government policemen were reported killed and more than seventy others taken prison CTS in a clash with Communists in the northern suburbs.

Russian Troops Moving Into Iran

TERRAIN, Mar. 13, (F) - Rus sian troops in full combat kit are declared by British and other of ficial sources to have closed to within twenty miles of this capi- tai, and to be moving southwest across northern Iran close to the borders of Turkey and oil-rich Iraq.
 The reports caused Byrnes to announce in Washington last night the dispatch of another note to Moscow, demanding an explan- ation. P) correspondent Joseph Goodwin flew over Karaj, twenty miles from Tehran and counted fourteen Sherman tanks and score of other vehicles. He saw half dozen Red fighter planes at Kazvin to the north.
 Premier Saltaneh just returned from inconclusive negotiations in Moscow over the continued pres ence of Russian troops in Iran and declared no agreements had been reached. The Premier de- Scribed as ridiculous" the reports circulated during his visit in Mos cow that he had agreed to six Soviet demands which were re- ported including the incorporation of Azerbaijan into the Soviet Union oil concessions, Russia di- rection of the Iranian army.
 A British foreign office spokes- man in London said the Russian troop movements increased the gravity of the tense situation.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE HELD NOON LUNCHEON


 The Chamber of Commerce met at a nbon luncheon Tuesday for its regular weekly meeting.
 Following reports by various committees on work done during the past week, president Nitro witch called on the guest speakers, Mrs. Annette Kitzmiller and Miss Esther Book, who were asked to speak to the chamber on matters of public health.
 Mrs. Kitzmiller stated that since March was chosen as Public Health Month, she would say very little other than answering a few questions printed on the pam phletS which were distributed around the tables.
 We want to consider how we can built better health in our community, said Mrs. Kitzmiller, "for ourselves and our children, and to that we must think of the immediate problem ahead"
 Some of our problems" she said, "are of Territorial propor- tions, but other phases of the problem are purely of local scope" "The control of venereal diseases and the conditions which contribute to their spread stands today as the most urgent, most difficult problem of social hy- giene." Mrs. Kitzmiller added, "The organization of necessary shealth, social and educational services are required in order to combat this social problem"
 Miss Book spoke of the social problem in conjunction with all coholism. She stated, "I wish to bring out the connection of liquor in the spread of the venereal dis ease rate in Alaskan communities. The increase in alcoholism and venereal diseases are closely as- sociated, and it is proper and fit ting the subjects should be talked about as one problem.

STARVE TO DEATH. If you
don't believe it is a horrible death
just try to go without food for

DAY. Most of us could live many
days without food. but it is hard
to imagine one enduring the ter
rible suffering those days must
be, before death, a welcoming
death, comes.

those extra pieces of meat we
eat, the fats we SO carelessly

has always been a SIN to waste
the necessities of life that men

make more OF AntigOne, as men who
have loved freedom through the
centuries have found that morality,
not reason, was their first irresistible
weapon.
The Anouilh- -Galantiere "after
|Sophocles" version of the drama is
as modern as the automobiles every
one wants today. Its speech, at
times, is a little too modern for the
plays consistency of tragic mood.
This is true, for instance in the
speech of the Creon palace guards,
gangsters in uniform speaking pure
cinema. In contrast to the pro-
found, soul-searching speech of the
principals, the effect of their words
is almost comic when it should not
be. But the modern idiom is in
dispensable when Antigone and
Creon meet, heart to head, in their
fascinating clash in the plays long,
high-pitched climactic passage. The
guards had to talk that way, one
supposes, in order that the king and
his more noble niece could talk their
way. 1t was left to French au-
diences to know that and "Antigone"
is enough of theater, in the best
sense OF the word, to leave it also to
American audiences now.
IT she had chosen it as no more
than vehicle, Miss Cornell would
have to be excused for that. It
gives her chance to show again the
bright fires of her talent, that trick
she has of lifting beauty high or
leaving it low, her flair for being
one woman and all women. can

Is equally as good for it.
There is equal majesty of its diff
ferent kind in the Creon impersona-
ton by Sir Cedric, a characterize
ton that creates a terror to match
the pity evoked by Miss Cornell.
There is effectiveness in several
others OF the portraits created on
the Nationals stage this week. the
one-man chorus of Oliver Cliff; the
tormented old nurse of Bertha Bel
more; the lovely Ismene of Ruth
Matteson; the tortured Haemon of
Wesley Addy, and the gangster
guard played by George Matthews.
Raymond Sovey's simple two-level
setting for the play is foundational-
ly fine for its stark power, which

Mt. Vernon Players
Staging 'Cyrano'
To Close Season

The Mt. Vernon Players, in the
history of the theater which they
have made this seasons schedule
have come now to December, 1897
the date when Edmond Rostand's
"Cyrano de Bergerac" first was
staged. 1t is a colofrul version OF
Mr.. Rostands melodramatic tale
they are swashbuckling through this
week and next at the Undercroft
auditorium to close their season
a triumph of production if not ex-
actly an acting tour de force for
any one around.
The Brian Hooker translation
from the French which served Wal
ter Hampden so well is now serving
Edward Mangum in the title role,
streamlined to the requirements of
the players and their stage by the
co-directors, Capt. Andrew A. Miles
and Mr.. Mangum. It seems to be
an admirable bit of editing, which
has cast aside none of the essentials
of MIR. Rostand's story about a girl
who loved man who was forced to
WOO her with the poetry of another,
though admirers of his poetic flights
may oppose the elision of a single
pretty figure of speech. Well go
along with those who approve.
The playing itself does leave a
little to be desired, however. This
romantic yarn must revolve about
Cyrano and Mr.. Mangum's portrait
of this expert with the rapier and
the f1owery word of love shows him,
in his first act appearance, some
thing less than the fiery man he
was-a sort of swashbuckler by rote
rather than one driven to it by hot
Gascon blood. You wonder what
all the shouting is about and when
this happens, "Cyrano de Bergerac"
is off to pedestrian start. Mr..
Mangum does recover some ground
later, offsetting the first impress
sion, and when he does the play
picks up with him.
Elsie Turner may not be every
ones Roxanne, but she follows
SAoFSAJ 1A1 oO1A1C
notably those of Sarah Bernhardt,
and she does manage to appear an
enthusiastic admirer of poetry if
not always an inspiration for it.
There are others-among them Jo-
seph Church, Angela K. Miles, 1t.
L. P. Leggette and Albert Berko-
witz-who are competent at non-
professional level, and still others
who are just tolerable, saying their
lines with something like public
speaking class eloquence.
The true hero of the production
is Hascy Tarbox, who has given the
Mt. Vernon Players a professional
for their play by design
ing the setting and painting highly
colorful backdrops for the five
scenes. He has managed we'll to
serve dual purpose, making his
sets functional to please those
working with them and handsome
to please those looking at them.

No doubt many of them found the
strain exhausting. But the theater
had something to say and was say
ing it, and the majority found it ex-
citing enough to give Katharine Cor
nell, her company and "Antigone'
an ovation at the final curtain.
"Antigone," which will divide the
next fortnight with Candida" at
the National, is not an easy play on
the spectator. 1t is a discipline, a
surprising, curt summons to the
patron to get in there and partici-
pate. The degree to which he ac-
cepts the invitation determines his
enjoyment of it. If he has grown
f1abby, a painfully plausible fate,
'Antigone" is not for him. And
that will be far more sad for him
than for "Antigone.
In selecting the modern French
adaptation of Sophocles' tragedy
Miss Cornell has more than an
severed those who may have chided
her for dawdling in romantic COM
edy these last few seasons. Were
those words of challenge? Then let
her critics eat them now. AS the
favorits daughter of Oedipus, the
pure, proud and doomed heroine of
the resistance, she is back in char
acter. If anybody is sorry, it OBJ
viously is not Miss Cornell, who has
passionate tale to unfold and the
passion it takes to do it.

"Antigone," despite its original
authorship, is not an ancient play,
of course. 1t is a timeless drama,
modernized by a young French play
wright, Jean Anouilh and adapted
by Lewis Galantiere. It's women's
dress is of no period, its male wear
1916 dinner and evening dress. This
is the "Antigone" Miss Cornell saw
in Paris, the one that was played
with defiant irony under the dull,
glazed eyes of the Nazis during the
occupation The spectator has only
to remember that to find the dra-
matte dimensions of "Antigone" en-
larged and to perceive the acute
ness with which Sophocles saw the
tragedy of power berserk.
From Antigone and Creon to free
dom and Hitler was no time at all.
And no progress.
It is not surprising that the
French and the German invaders
could sit side by side at "Antigone"
in conquered Paris. 1t was as easy
for the latter to see their heroic
symbol in the despotic Creon, King
of Thebes, as for the forlorn French
to find inspiration and hope in the
unconquerable niece of the cruel
monarch. Creon, played brilliantly
by Sir Cedric Hardwicke, is not a
despicable character. He is ter
rfying one, the ruthleSsly rational
believer that the mob is an animal
and needs the ordering hand of
force. Intellectually, he is as much
the superior of Antigone as he is
morally her inferior He is no beer
hall idiot when he demolishes, with
wanton logic, the arguments she
offers for her opposition to him, an
opposition that forces him to kill
her even when he sees that it is
politically inexpedient to do so.
The Germans patiently could make
much of Creon, and tyrant would
not be one of the words for him in
their philosophy. But the French,
In those davS of occupation. could
