DAUGHTER OF TOLSTOY | DEFIES SOVIET BY TRIP | @Going to Canada to S;ly and Will% Not Return to Russia as Ordered, She Says. | TOKIO, Japan, March 24 (By the| Canadian Press).—Mlle. _ Alexandria | Tolstoy, daughter of the Russian nov- |~ elist Count Leo Tolstoy, who! has re- peatedly sought permission from the Canadian government to enter the Do- minion, says now that she has been ordered by the Soviet government to | return to Russia. | “Though I have received an order | from the Soviet government to go back to Russia, I have no intention what- | ever of doing s0.” She commented. “The Soviet government is oppressing primary school education of the Yasnaya Polyana system, so cherished by | my father and is permitting terrorism against religion, dear to my father and myself. I have accepted an in- vitation from Doukhobors in Canads to go there and edit their newspapers, and I hope to spend the rest of my life in Canada.” Mlle. Tolstoy has not yet received from the Canadian government the permit to enter the Dominion for which she has applied, the obstacle to which is her inability to produce a passport from Russia, or to proceed direct from that country to Canada, @s_the Dominion laws require. The Canadian Doukhobors of Russian | ancestry, who want the great count’s daughter in their midst, emigrated to Canada under his benediction, and ‘were materially helped by money he received Il'vfll" the sale of his work “Resurrection.’ Mlle. Tolstoy also has started nego- tiations with the metropolitan police of Tokio, to aid her, with a certificate of conduct, in obtaining per- | to enter Canada. THE From the Front Row Reviews and News of Washington's Theaters. “Elizabeth the Queen” Theater Guild Masterpiece. LIZABETH THE QUEEN" é§ is the Theater Guild at its best. Indeed, it is Lynn Fontanne absolutely at her best, with Philip Mozller, Alfred Lunt, Lee Simonson and Maxwell Anderson not far in the offing. It is a play at which historians w111 shudder and ro- manticists will sigh—but, above ell, it brings to the stage one of t] most glow- ing perform- ances of the r — POS! y two—and ¢ the Guild son in Was! ington with e pecial eclat. Miss Fon=- tanne's Eliza- beth, one ven- tures to sa: in survive the ages. It is an industrious and at the sa ime illuminating study. One can imagine this puis sant lady cf the Theater Guild r tiring to her country estates with a; full of en Elizabethan lore in pre aration for such a role, and emer: ing many months later with evident delight at the prospect of assuming the red wig, the heavy robes, the flashing jewe 's virgin Queen, who very nearly had a King al inated him while her passion for him flared the brightest. All that art and its various sat lites can do, Miss Fontanne has brought to her finger tips. Her voice in anger squeaks the way history says Elizabeth’s squeaked, her vocab- ulary rotates through the King's English and out of it with few traces of anything save Good Queen Bess, her mouth, with its ponderous lower lip, is screwed into ccntortions as her lover leaves her to die; she com- mands with a profile that Elizabeth of which must have been conscious, particularly in those self-conscious days, and her face— when it melts before Lord Essex—is a mask of paint and powder, a dreadful ex- ample of how a Queen wanted to be young, when youth obviously had been left far behind her. Miss Fontanne belks at nothing. She refuses to overlook what her Lynn Fontanne, ANCIENT CITY FOUND Ruins in Mesopotamia Believed to Be 5,500 Years 01d. CHICAGO, March 24 () —Ruins of an anclent city, believed to be evidence of the world's earliest civilization, have been found in Mesopotamia. Stephen Langdon, director of the Pleld Museum-Oxford University, joint expedition, has reported discovery of the ruins, believed to be more than 5,500 years old. They were found on the ite of the sncient city of Kish in rak. After nine seasons of excavating royal tombs were uncovered, Prof. Langdon reported, far below the Temple | of Nebuchadnezzar, who once ruled Babylon. The exeavators 2lso found a neo-Babylonian Temple, with walls 18 feet thick, belleved to have been the| Temple of Aruru in 2700 B. C. Light glazed coffins containing gold jewelry were taken from this temple. LIQUID or TABLETS Cure Colds, Headaches, Fever 666 SALVE CURES BABY’S COLD history books have told her she must not overlook. There is no sweetness 10 her character—no sugar tossed in to make the romance cater to the public taste. She loves Essex, bullies Essex, kills Essex, all more or less i the same breath. At all times she is conscious that she is the daughter of a King—even though, as she says rather wistfully, she wasn't sure from day to day just who her mother might be. And she builds the role into such heights that last night it seemed as if the audience couldn’t have too much of her, that if she had wanted it would have sat right there and watched her do the third act all over agein. Nor is Alfred Lunt much lesser than the Queen, and, save that his Tole is briefer, his actions more nat- ural, with less perhaps of a carica- ture to them, his Essex is all that it could be. History, no doubt, may smile a little 2t what Author Anderson has done to it. The possibility of Essex bobbing up from a trap door almost under the fest of his Queen just be- fore execution seems a trifle far- fetched, as are_one or two of tie other details. But since one is at the theater to be entertained and not to be preached to, one can say the Guild has put on its most splen- did coat, polished it with an immac- uate bruch and put it on parade with a luster that few other Guiid productions have boasted. And in the glittering procession of characters that pass by during the evening, especial mention shculd be made of Arthur Hughes’ Robert Cecil, Percy Waram's Sir Walter Raleigh, Morris Carnovsky's Francis Bacon and Dorothy Patten as the attractive and loveiorn Penelope Gray.
