BY VIRGINIA BRADfofD.
 Hollywood, April 5.-The filming of "Bella Donna" constituted my com ing-out party in the movies.
 Not that it changed my status of extra-for l am only piece of hu- man confetti in the picture-but in my own mind it definitely ended my awkward fapper days in fickerdom
 This sense of belonging" of be- ing finally on the inside. comes to some girls after the second or third job. to others only after months of work.
 My debut was a hectic party Everyone but myself thought it was for Pola Negri, for Adolphe Menjou, Conway Tearle, Conrad Nagel and the rest of her supporting cast But that didn't hurt my feelings.
 It was given under vast glass roof. Everyone came in gorgeous costume. 250 men and women, transformed from prosy folk to the most ravish- ing creatures by wig and paint, satin and tights under the brilliance of the sun arcs.
 On a high platform, megaphone in  hand, like battle general, stood George Fitzmaurice, director. Beside him, Arthur Miller. master of cam eras Opposite, close to the mob. Frank O'Connor. assistant director. A voiley of sharp instructions. Then q burst of orchestra music, Lights" and the purr of cameras as we danced and chatted, tossing balloons and confetti for the Hong shot" carnival scene. Then a blare of whistles. and stoppage.
 "Kill 'cml' came the order. It wasn't a decree of execution for be- wildered boneheads-merely studio argot to dousc the lights. Instruc- tions were patiently repeated.
 Pola Negri. dark and exotic in sal mon silks. sat across the canal from us. consulting her script and munch- ing bits of orange under the hover Ing attention of two maids. And now we extras were at leisure.

 No! No!" Grandma Goose told them. T mean my son, Big Bill"
 ''Oh! We haven't seen him." every body answered.
 But at last old dog Spot told Grandma that he had seen her Big Bill cross the road and waddle out of sight along the path that led to the river

b0RAH CONDEMNS HARDING PLAN TO ENTER TRIBUNAL
Court And League Cannot Be Separated Idaho Sen-
 ator Asserts

WASHINGTON, April 26.-While administration senators. privately opposed to the international court of justice, were seeking some escape from their dilemma, Senator Borah came forward Thursday with a care fully prepared statement disputing President Harding's major contention that the United States can Join the tribunal and yet stay out of the League of Nations.
 If the league fails, the court fails, Borah argues.
 What kind of position of stulti- fication would a man be in who under such circumstances would stand up and argue that this court is great but we must destroy the foundation upon which It rests?" Borah asks.
 If the League of Nations has created a court which is worthy of our adherence. l say that it Is down right political cowardice to under take to gather the fruits of the league and still continue to fight the league
 Still Fears League.
 Borah is convinced that member ship in the court will inevitably lead to membership in the league, despite Harding's assurance at New York that America would not enter the world body by the back door. the side door or the cellar door. Other ir- reconcilables take the same position.
 Administration senators, however are now less concerned about the merits of the issue than they are about reconciling their personal con- vfctions and the demand of the Pres- idesit for party loyalty. The disas- trous consequences that would result from a breach within the party Is giving these administration senators cause for concern. It Is more impor- tant to them, with a national cam paign coming on. than the merits of the court. They want the matter settled as quickly as possible.
 But the irreconcilable strength on the foreign relations committee, which must approve the Presidents project before 1t can be voted upon by the Senate, complicates matters for the comromise group, especially since the most influential of these are personally opposed to the court. Declare. For R.rmony. E D Q
 Although Senator Watson said that the court was not mentioned in his conference with the President, he come out all right" and declared he was for party harmony" He de- ciined to comment on the New York speech on the court project. Watson las revised the manuscript of speech he is to make at Plttsburg Friday night It Is understood now that he will denounce the League of Nations. but say little, If anything, about the court. Senator Lodge still declines to comment on the Presi- dents speech
 Borah said he could not understand those who insist that we must join everything the League creates and yet stay out of the League.

CROP SHORTAGE AGAIN
 BOOSTS SUGAR PRICE
Cuban statist;cian Revises His Es-
 tfmate of New Output

NEW YORk. April 2e.--FuFther re- ports of crop shortage in Cuba today boosted raw sugar from the island to new high price for the year
 The product sold here for 6 3-4 cents. an increase of one-eighth of a cent over the day before. Besides paying this much. the purchaser must meet the sugar tax of 1.76 cents a pound. and the expense of moving the sugar from the docks.
 What caused the advance was the receipt of news that Gums Me jer, the Cuban statistical authority. had re- vised the estimate of the Cuban sugar crop fram S.s00,000 tons to S.s7o.000 tons.
 Retail sugar climbed to 10 f-2 cents here today.

Ladv Bonham- Carter, the brilliant daughter of former premier Herbert Asquith and prominent In literary and social circles in England. has written for The Herald the fol- lowing copyright account of the wedding of the Duke of York to Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. Lady Bon ham, Garter, by virture of her high rank in noble society, was one of the guests at the wedding in Westmin- ster Abbey. She describes in graphic detail the ceremony itself and the principals involved.
 LONDON, April 26.-The day, which dawned wet and grey, relented and showed mercy in the end. The crowds deserved it. As 1 caught the first glimpse of Whitehall, that high way of history down which l have seen kings. queens and conquerng armies pass. it seemed to me that 1t has never been thronged with big ger. denser and more patient crowds.
 In these times of suffering and distress when the lives of hundreds of thousands are darkened by the shadow of great hardship and anxiety, they had genesously forgot
 
 misfortunes and turned out in their thousands to see the beginning of the end of the fairy tale we have heard since we can remember and yet never grow tired of And so she married the prince and they lived happily ever after
 Crowds Are Happy.
 They thought they brought with them no spirit of envy, reproach or bitterness nor yet mere colo curio- sity they came with ungrudging sympathy and sheer delight to share the joy of man and woman luckier than themselves. They fel- that hu- man realities di- not rely on this pomp and beauty. This was more than a fairy tale, 1t was part of the story in every household in the land. Everyone was living through his or her own life again.
 What was this but the tale of their romance re-enacted on golden stage? It Is against this incalculable element of human nature that the drab logic of socialism seems to dash itself in vain.
