The law is attacked on the ground that it is

that treaty presumes to impose.
That would have as little spiritual

Of our own hearts in order that
we may rediscover and rescue our

When I say that. we all are

Of a welling-up of million-tongued

what brings us together today.
what unites us today, is far closer
and more intimate than that. Dur
ing the interval we-without Dante
for q suide-have walked through
hell. We are still struggling hand in
hand to get foothold even on the
farthest limit of purgatory. I not
need not dwell upon the contrast
between tRis and our earlier sunny
paradise. All human relationships
have meanwhile become deeper and
and more meaningful, and the call
to ascend the Mount of Purifica-
ton rings more loudly than ever
in the ears of nations and of all
mankind.
1t is to this task that we conse-
crate ourselves today. Without
that publication, let me repeat,
though it be for the millionth time,
humanity cannot survive.
PATHWAY FROM HELL.
There is no pathway out of hell
except through Christening certain
sorrows. There Is no other way up
ward. No one imagines that we
have already emerged from this
epoch of publication. Nonetheless,
purgatory rises high above inferno:
because its sufferings are lightened
by the hope of salvation; yes, by the
certainty of eventual redemption.
Do not fancy for a moment that
this idea of publication has any
connection with the grotesque crea.
ton Of Versailles. or with the per.

be stolen from the proud con-
seriousness of its own worth.
We are, and we shall continue to
be, one people, bound together by
a common speech, by a common
character, as powerful and as
great as ever. But the new era
which confronts us, the era Of in
tensive self-cultivation, makes far
higher demands upon us than the
Wilhelm era. The empire sought
to cultivate in us only the limited
understanding of subjects. Today,
for the time being at least, we are
thrown upon ourselves: only the
civis Germanus survives. The Ger
man citizen has attained his ma
jority. He must depend on his
own resources. He bears alone a
burden of responsibility which did
not rest upon his shoulders IN 1914.

that period were not his own. Sum.

old regime. But tode we have
nothing left but that nal ideal.
The German sees abt lin now
nothing but the thro, II God.
Therefore, we must cherish this
national ideal with a newer, freer,
and profounder devotion.
MORAL COMMAND.
The highest moral command
upon the individual and upon the
nation is: To be real-to ones
self. The more truly the individ.
ual German is a German, the more
truly German and powerful will
the nation be.
Need we conceal from ourselves
the fact that we are today in
many ways better Germans than
we were ten years ago? It was no
hard task to love the powerful.
happy, prosperous, and glorified
Germany Of that period. But the
love we feel now is a different
love. It is a greater and stronger
love which we cherish for a hum

fame for all the women who have
played opposite him as imaginary
sweethearts of the footlights.
Like Napoleon and Carnegie. to
mention two outstanding examples,
everyone who has ever been asso-
ciated with him, has profited there
by. Gillette has never tried to gar
ner all the glory and gain of his
achievements for himself. There
has always been enough for all
concerned, and he has always
shared. An innate sense of justice
and fairness. so-rate, incidentally
in the theatrical world. has always
guided his career. A heritage, no
doubt, from his father, the late
Francis Gillette, one-time United
States Senator from Connecticut,
and his mother, one Of the historic
Hooker family of Massachusetts.
EXTREMELY RETICENT.
>On the subject of his career,
Mr.. Gillette is extremely reticent.
He has never been interviewed.
He has never been quoted. He
has never countenanced prying
into his private affairs by adulat-
ing admirers and sympathetic Sob
sisters: this attitude, in a profess
sion to which publicity is as the
breath of life, runs contrary to all
the canons Of the mimic world,
but It is an illuminating indication
of the man; as a man and an
artist.
His friends and admirers are,
however, not so reticent. The
playwrights whom he helped to
fame, through collaboration. or
through the portrayal Of their
roles, have all sung his praise.
Sir Rider Haggard, whose novel
"She" he dramatized; Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle, whose Sherlock
Holmes" he made a living, breath
ing reality by his brilliant trans
lation into drama, and a no less
brilliant impersonation of the
title role of the immortal deduct
ing detective" Sir James Matthew
Barrie. whose Admiral Crich-
ton" and Dear Brutus" he quick
ened into life by the injection Of
his personality into the star roles;
Victorien Sardou, the doyen of
French dramatists whose "Di-
plomacy" he revitalized during it's
recent revival; Clare Hummer. his
brilliant cousin whom he helped to
establish as a playwright, by his
performance Of the hypochrondriac
millionaire in her comedy, "A Sue
cessful Calamity" all these, by
their outspoken appreciation Of
his collaboration, have helped give
the world some evidence of his
genius.
All told. he has authored twen-
ty-three plays, including adapta-
lions, collaborations. and original
works. The list includes The
