NEW YORK. Oct. 27.—(P— Eu-
gene O'Neill, like some Gutzon
Borglum carving a giant drama
from the cold stone of an ancient
Greek tragedy, had created today in
"Mourning Becomes Electra" what
critics generally called his master-
piece.
The dramtist’s 14-act, three-in-
one opus was given its premier yes-
terday. The curtain rose on the first
of the three consecutive dramas.
“The Homecoming". at 4 p m at
the conclusion' of "The Homecom-
ing” at 6 p in there was a din-
ner intermission following which
the other dramas. "The Hunted "
and "The Haunted", were played.
The performance ran past 11
o'clock
O'Neill has based the mood of
this new drama on the Greek trag-
edy. "Electra", and one feels the
unalterable doom of death through-
out the performance.
Actors Praised
Alice Brady. Alla Nazimova and
Earle Larimore won long ovations
from the first night audience for
their performances. Miss Brady is
the only member of the cast who
appears in every act of the play.
All critics praised her performance
J as tie greatest in her long career
’ The scene of "Mourning Becomes
Electra" is placed in a New Eng-
1 land sea coast village The Mannon
family overshadows the town, and
itself is overshadowed by death.
1 The play is marked by the mor-
bid. introspective characterizations
seen in most O'Neill works. The re-
veHng scapel of his pen exposes
so many abhorrent and depressing
human trans that the audience was
stunned into several moments' si-
1 lence at the final curtain before it
began an ovation that lasted for
fully ten minutes.

million British "voters. laborer, col-

the election booths today and wrote
on sheets of paper eight inches
sqyare their prescription for the
land's financial ills.
As the tumult and shouting of an
unprecedented campaign died, two
leading newspapers, on each side at
the issue, this morning rated the
importance of the decision. ‘
"They are called upon," said the
Times, which supported Ramsay
MacDonald's call for a "doctor's
mandate” for the national govern-
ment, "to make a decision which in
a single day will preserve or de-
stroy the value of British currency
and the solidity of British credit."
"The arc cayed upon," said the
Daily Herald, position organ. "to
declare that she budget shell be
balanced, but not by plundering
the poor, and that the currency
shall be safeguarded, but not by
groveling to bankers." /

ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 27,—(.
Southern cotton planters saw a sil-
ver lining to their economic clouds
today with reports ot bankers that
they had exceeded pledges to co-
operate with the Federal Farm
Board to hold seven million bales off
the market unUi after next July.
Cotton belt bankers yesterday re-
ported pledgee to finance an aggre-
gate at more than 4 000,000 bales
under the cotton holding program.
The amount exceeded by 500.000
bales that agreed to at the New
Orleans conference of bankers
farm board and American Cotton
Co-operative Association members
two weeks ago
The conference stipulated the
farm board would arrange to hold
approximately 3.500.000 bales off
the market if southern bankers
would finance the holding of a sim-
ilar amount.
Unofficial reports last night said
Texas bankers would finance the
holding of 2,000,000, Arkansas 400,-
000. Tennessee 500,000, Georgia 302 -
833, Louisiana 186,675 Alabama
199,000, Mississippi 350,000, Okla-
homa 260,000, and South Carolina
310,000 bales.
In Dallas, Nathan Adams, chair-
man of the bankers' group sponsor-
ing the plan, said his reports indi-
cated tne holding plan would re-
ceive more than ample support for
success.
