Few in the audience came away with a solution to their own brand of Jim Crow. Said Casablan's Playwright Yigal Mossinson: "Life has not found the solution. The stage should not anticipate life...

A more significant omen for Morocco's future took place in the city of Port Lyautey. There 8.000 to 10.000 resentful Arabs, led by single-minded nationalists, had gone on a rampage in the medina (native quarter) the week before. They killed seven Europeans, including a woman and her daughter, whose stomachs they slit open with knives. The women's bodies were dragged through the streets of the medina. The French last week...
