The disturbance began when the German police, or schupos, charged a demonstration of Communists who were passing in orderly fashion along the street.

Weiss did attempt to interfere, but his action met with a prompt clubbing fron-his own men who did not recog- nize him. He was severely pounded. The incident is causing great ex- citement and some amusement in Ber- lin where the provocative actions of |the schupos are the source of con- stant criticism. ‘Shakespeare’s “Taming of the Shrew” to be Set to Music HIAKESPEARE set to music and, “Tampico,” Bartlet Cormack’s dram- with musical comedy trimmings, a atization of Joseph Hergesheimer’s Broadway chorus, and modernized to| novel of the same name.
