Shadow Cast Over Pros
poets for Reaching Quota
Agreement.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, November 5.-Trade sta
tistics disclosed today that Argentina
had continued her heavy shipments of
wheat in the first quarter of the new
cereal year, which ended November !,
thereby casting a shadow over pros
poets for reaching an agreement on
the years quotas when the Interna-
tional Wheat Conference reconvenes
November 90 in Budapest.
Members of the Wheat Commission
here who had been hopeful that Ar
gentina would accept an annual quota
of 150.000000 bushels were frankly
peSSimistic when they learned that the
big South American nation had al
ready exported approximately 50,-
100000 bushels.
1t was recalled that the attempts
to decide on quotas at the London con-
ference, which ended in Stalemate
August %. failed because of Argen-
tina's demand for more time to con-
slider the proposals
AS a result, there have been no in
ternational restrictions on shipping
through the first quarter. A call was
issued for the first full meeting of all
81 signatory nations of the wheat pact
in an effort to reach an agreement at
Budapest. The pact broke down dur
ing its first year, which ended August
81, when Argentina exceeded her no.
100000 bushel quota by 34,000,000
bushels
First quarter figures show Canada
shipped about 55,OO0.000 bushels, Aus
tralia about 25,000,O00 Soviet Russia
about 1000 900. and all others, includ-
ing the United States. about 12.000,-

limits envisaged as their proposed

KEITH GaIIian, French Actress, Gets
Rigorous Training for U. S. Films

Seven months intensive train
ing has made new girl of KEITH
Gallian.
The exotic Franco-Italian ar
tiste came to Hollywood on Christ
mas Eve, last year, under contract
to Fox Film, with scarcely half a
dozen English words in her vo-
cabulary. She was untutored in
screen technique, never having
faced a camera before, except in
mob" scenes in a Paris studio.
Today she steps into the title
role of Marie Galante," sharing
starring honors with Spencer
Tracy, speaking English with just
the slightest of accents, compe-
tent screen actress who is expected
to prove a sensation in her first
picture.
Terms of her contract were
rigid. They required that she
learn English within three months
of her arrival, that she not aSSo-
ciate with French-speaking people,
that she devote several hours each
day to "going to school" to learn
screen acting, that she see at least
one picture every day to become
accustomed to film technique.
Mile. Gallian lived up to her
contract faithfully, and, in addi-
ton, spent all her spare time at
the radio in order to learn Amerl-
can intonation and pronunciation.
After she had learned English
and was graduated" from the
Fox Film stock school, she made
tests by the dozen before the
camera, to become accustomed to
acting in the new medium. she
progressed with startling rapldlty'
to such an extent that executives
decided to launch her as a star.
KEITH Gallian was born in the
south of France, but she is a
marked contrast to the small
statured brunette, olive-Skinned
women of Southern Europe.
Straight as an arrow. she is wide
thin-hipped, with
flaxen tresses and blue-green eyes.
Her mother was a native OF
northern France, and her father,
Victor Galliano, is Italian born.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1934-08-18

He became French citizen be-
fore the war and was modified
with the French army in 1914.
After several wounds, he was in
valided from service.
KEITH was born during the war.
After the world conflict, her
parents separated. When she was
old enough, her father insisted
that she receive part of her edu-
cation in Italy, so she was sent
to the Convent of the Presenta-
ton of Marie, near San Reno,
on the Italian Riviera. Later,
she was given an appointment to
the Paris Conservatory.
Stanley Scott, an English pro-
Queer, went to Paris seeking a
girl to play the only feminine
role in THE Ace" a wartime
aviation drama, and KEITH got the
job. She learned the English
lines by rote, and scored a sensa-
tional hit.
