A—10 == SEVEN GO TO JAL FOR EMBASSY RIOT Radicals Start Sentences After Appeal Is Lost. 12 More Hunted. Seven radicals, including three women, who were arrested in front of the Japa- nese Embassy March 26, when police broke up a communistic demonstration, were committed to jail in Police Court yesterday after the District Court of Appeals denied their request for a re- versal of the lower court’s judgment. These, with a dozen more, who have yet to be brought in, have been free under bond since Judge Ralph Given found them guilty of parading without a permit and disorderly conduct, two days after the demonstration. Immedi- ately after their conviction, Defense At- torney Charles Ford announced his in- tention of appealing the cases, and the Jjudge fixed a bond. These who will have to pay a $200 fine or serve 60 days in jail include Joan Hardy, Dorothy Dare, James Ken- nedy. Albert Suskin and Albert Sylves- ter. They also were sentenced to pay $25 fines or serve 30 days in jail, but the judge decided the terms could run concurrently. Ivan Kastrow and Elva Grayson were sentenced to $100 fines or 60 days each. Bondsmen told Judge Given they were having difficulty locating the men and ‘women, as almost all of them have left th> city and scattered over the East. None of those brought in was able to | pay a fine. HENDERSON ESTATE LOAN IS AUTHORIZED| $40,000 to Be Borrowed to Meet Taxes, Probated Claims and Expenses.

C, From the Front Row Reviews and News of Washington's Theaters. “The Good Earth” Opens in Philadelphia. HORTLY before midnight last night at the Chestnut Street Opera House, in Philadelphia, a large, eager, critical audi- ence, gathered from the four corners of the East. thundered forth its approval of the New York Theater Guild’s first production of the sea- son — the dram- atization of Pearl Buck’s now clas- sic novel, “The Good Eartl With a touch most of hysteria the audience cheered a small, thin, tragic little figure, who had carried this play through three hours and a half of richly signifi- cant dramaturgy to a climax which even the most ardent of Mrs. Alla Nazimova, Buck’s admirers wouldn't have suspected possible. Alla Nazimova, Russia’s one-time firebrand of the theater, by her quiet, tender playing o{ O-] Lan Wang Lung the farmer’s “woman,” had contributed a performance which necessarily must rank high with stage achievements of this decade. Although physically unlike Mrs. Buck's woman of the soil, she made this pitiable heroine of the Far East a moving, flowerlike crea- ture—tremendously vital in spite of her insignificance in the midst of her “rich man” husband’s househeld. The audience cheered Mme. Nazi- mova. It also cheercd the less stir- ring but equally convincing playing of the chief man character—Wang— as undertaken by Earl Larrimore; the subtle, amusing characterization given by Henry Travers as Wang Lung’s father; the scenes as de- signed by Lee Simonson (a truly magnificent use of brush and back- ground) and the script as supplied Owen Davis and his son Donald. Those who fancied that this novel lacked the breadth, the ac- tion, the full-flavored threatricalism necessary for a major stage success, may rest assured that they are wrong. Messrs. Davis, father and son, have recreated Mrs. Buck's world in as firely a constructed theater piece as you are likely to see. The words are the rich, poeti- cal expression of a people who are totally unconscious of their worth; the action has been sustained throughout with extraordinary skill —and the emotional, and the truly tragic elements, have been added with a touch which in one or two cases is little short of miraculous. The audience found itself in tears last night over a deathbed scene. O’'Lan, Wang's good wife, lay dying. Around her were gathered the sons and daughters of her household, her slaves, her retainers and the good priests who hustled the images of the gods away 50 as not to let them see the “hideous spectacle of death.” In the distance, already, came the moans of the mourners—O- Stretched out at full length on the handsome couch once occupied by “The Ancient Mistress of the House of Hwang,” asked for her son and his young bride—watched them as they exchanged their marriage vows before her—said nothing as they went away. Then she told with pride of her achievements in Wang's house—the children she had brought him, the land which she had helped acquire. Finally with a plea to her husband not to give away any of the land—she fell back—dead. Impessible to convey the intensity lurking behind aH this, the strangely moving quality of Nazimova's art, thuuenemyheu.ldwbeaneot the most stirring in the theat current history. Although the thors have veered away from the printed word of the book, in one or two instances they have fashioned a weman of flesh and blood, “a character,” who lives and breathes and speaks in such a way that no term seems adequate to describe her “homely virtues.” Although as yet a trifle slow paced, and somewhat longer than it doubt- less will be when it gets its final trimmings, “The Good Earth” is even now a major artistic success. It retains the same spell that the story in its original cast over its readers. It tells its story simply— but trenchantly. It has been mount- ed with true Guildean genius on one of Mr. Simonson's most effective stages. And its cast is the kind which tkis theater is noted now for producing. Weshington will eventually see this play under the recently formed group known as The American The- ater Society. If this organization acquires other plays of the same , caliber it is certain to have long " life—and a popular one. 8. MELCHER. New Zealanders Divorced. RENO, Nev., September 20 (P).— Constance R.

An enormous streamer hung across the main street bearing the words “Good Wishes.” The school children, who were given a holiday, lined the roadway to the church and cheered the wedding party when it arrived. Inside the church, which was dec- orated with lilles and chrysanthemums from the gardens at Chequers and with white heather from Scotland, Ishbel MacDonald, the bride’s sister, acted as mistress of ceremonies. The bride was attended by four bridesmaids wearing white satin.
