Romola to Open

1t is singular fact that most of
the great successes of the screen
and on the speaking stage have been
made by those who commenced as
children, or We may say, were
"caught early" As for the screen
particularly, this applies to Lillian
Imperial Valley press., 1925-11-04

and Dorothy Cish, both Of whom be-
gan as children and learned the art
by slow and careful processes. And
it is doubtful If the art of acting,
either for the screen or the speak
ing stage, was ever properly learn
ed in any other way.
Out Of this experience came, for
Lillian in particular, such triumphs
as "The Birth of Nation"
"Hearts OF the World,' "Broken
Blossoms, "The White Sister,.
one of her recent successes.
And when the talented Lillian
and Dorothy came to the making OF
..Romola. the George Eliot Flor
entine romance, each brought to the
task very varied experience.
These two brilliant girls, then, as
children learned to express thoughts
and emotions vividly and sincerely

learned as one might suppose.

Hold to Secrecy
In Proposals of
France and Germany

Paris, Mar. 1--OBy \. PD-Reliable
French reports were heard today that
proposals looking to n pact Of recip-
rocal military guarantees and secrecy
between Germany and France were
received by Premier Hcrriot from the
German foreign secretary ten days
ago.
The proposals, described as more
general in scope than those made by
Or. Wilhelm Cuno, when he was
chancellor of Germany, said to have
been communicated simultaneously
to the other allies. Premier Herriot
Informed DIR. Stresemann that he
reserved his reply to the German
communication pending consultation
with the allies.
The pact does not mention the
possibility of recourse to war after
the plebscite and suggests that dis
putes should be settled by arbitra-
lion.
The new proposals, 1t is learned
have been the subject of earnest con-
yersatiCns the last week between the
allied chancellories. The secrecy
surrounding the delivery of the pro-
posals, however, was well guarded
until Premier Ierriot made his
statement before the senate foreign
relations committee Friday that Ger
many would repeat the proposals of
former Chancellor Cun0 fog guaran-
teeing peace on the Rhine, but this
far had made no proposals concern
ing her other frontiers - Poland,
Czechoslovakia and Austria. 1t was
after this that certain confidential
passages leaked out.
