eight church leaders, the MAORI
ty prominently associated with
Protestant mission work in China
for twenty and more years, today
urged top government officials to
begin negotiations for early u. S.
recognition of China's Communist

Congressman John Key, chairman

Pulverizes London
In New Play
BY Rudolph Dunbar

LONDON@ (ANP)- Eighteen
months ago in London, Hilda
Simms made her sensational debut
in Anna Lucasta. When the play
closed she went to France, hired
a villa and devoted her time to
tn serious study Of Frnch-reading
writing and collecting antiques.
She also spent much time in visit
ing French plays, and met Louis
Jouvet, Jean Louis Barrault and
other great French actors. But
the restless urge forthe foot-lights
haunted Hilda. She began study
ing with George Vague, Barrault
teacher and waited for her chance
to return to London.
Last night at the Embassy
theatre this chance came when Hi
da Simms appeared in a revival
of Irwin Shaw's play about the
poor folk of Coney Island.
In this play however, Hilda's
opportunities are limited. 1t is
chiefly about two old men who r
bullied by a riverside thug, until
they are exasperated to the point
of numbering him. Hilda Simms
stole the play by her surprising
merits and her large ~resourceful-
ness as ar actress. The next morn
ing the entire press was unani-
nous in commenting upon her SUI
perlative excellence which had pull
verified London when sh appeared
in Anna Lucasta. On the stage she
wore a silver lame dress which was
created for her ina few hours. The
dress which was designed for her
to wear did not arrive from Par
