without waste of motion, making the hard ones look easy An ideal hitter, he has the power to get distance in his clouts, and he is one of the games finest base runners, depending on keen judg- ment and timing rather than sheer speed.
 Bucky Harris Picks Him
 Manager Cochrane terms him one of the finest players to work with he has ever encountered, and around the league he is known as one of the most popular men on any club Always in condition, he has a splendid influence on his mates.
 Stanley Raymond Harris, mana ger of the Boston Red Sox and for five years manager of the Tigers, said recently.
 q had an excellent opportunity to study Gehringer closely for five years and he is my choice of all second basemen. I'll pick him over any ball player you could name. He is the ideal player. He has everything but aggressiveness, but he is overwhelmingly good in every other way that you cannot very well hold that against him.
 "Gehringer is one player a man. ager need never worry about. You know precisely that he will do the right thing at all times. He is as sound as Gibraltar and as depend able as the bank of England"

ROAD "BUGS"

ROME, Nov. 21.-Italy's swarms of cyclists, called "gnats' by auto mobile drivers, have been hauled up on the newspaper publicity car pet and rebuked for flirting with death.
 The newspaper Il Tevere adjures the "gnats" to refrain from capri cious wheeling down the left hand side of the road; counsels moder- ate, dignified speed; and demands that the cylists develop an almost ambidextrous ability to signal their starts, turns and stops.
 It includes a set of rules for parking, night riding and wheeling through fog.
 To all this the cyclists-about a dozen or so to each motorist-have replied that unless something is done to curb the propensity for driving autos at breakneck speed and in disregard of traffic regula- tions, the accident toll will con- tinue to mount.
 Besides all this, it is explained, the "gnats" are usually the ones to go to the hospitals.

HOLLYWOOD IS
 GIVEN THRILL BY EXECUTIVE
A.M. Botsford Shows Clev- erness Tn Toastmast-
 ering Success
By RoBBIN CooNs

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 21.-Holly- woods latest toastmastering suc- cess is an actor in disguise.
 Hollywood did not know about A. M Botsfords prowess in the after dinner field until he stood up at a banquet honoring his chief, Emanuel Cohen, and uttered a line of hysterically serious humor that rocked the tables with laughter
 It was Botsford's first Hollywood appearance in the role of come dian, for usually he sits behind an executive desk and, in his capacity as assistant to Cohen, Paramount production head, does wh at he calls playing chess with actors, con I ts, production schedules. i" and otherwise attending to details that help to keep studio running smoohly.
 An Exacting Business
 z In the East, Botsford used to postmaster frequently at Para mount dinners. He has been with the organization IT years. But after dinner speaking is wearing and takes time. He is ducking further to perform here. His ram bling excursion through the ency- clopedia at the Cohen affair was anything but extemporaneous, and toastmastering is an exacting busi- ness, calling for a new show every time.
 When Botsford as a youth left Quincy, Ill., to go on the stage, he attended the Sargent school of dramatic art. For two years he

GALLANT LADY
 OPENS TONIGHT
 AT THE CAPITOL 
Lovely Ann Harding Plays
 Leadin g Role in
 Poignant Drama

In Gallant Lady" her first picture for 2Oth Century produc- tions, Ann Harding outdoes all her past performances on the screen, in scaling the heights of emotional artistry. IA
 This picture, which opened at the. Capitol Theatre last night, deals with the experience of a young and unwed mother who IS forced to assign her child for adoption immediately after it's birth. Later, having became a re- markable success as business woman, she accidentally meets in Paris the man for wh o m she has never ceased to yearn. Faced with the possibility of being re- united with her boy, she is com pelled to decide between keeping silent regarding her real identity as the child's mother in order to be with him, or revealing the facts in order to play fair with the man  she loves with the possibility of wrecking the little fellows future.
 The role gives Miss Harding ann pie scope for the exercise of her unique talent for the portrayal of deep and sincere emotion, and ' the scene in which she makes the decision which affects not only her future but that of her son is fraught with pathos and ten der dignity that has seldom been equalled.
 An exceptionally fine cast has been chosen by Joseph M. Schenck and Daryl F. zanuck, producers of Gallant Lady" to support Miss Harding and includes such names as Give Brook, Otto Kruger and Tullio Carminati.

understudied John Barrymore, who never failed to appear on time for the performances Botsford played an occasional romantic juvenile lead, but when he married he gave up the stage for a less precarious livelihood.
 All of which is reported because Botsford, who resembles Roscoe Karns somewhat, may yet be seen on the screen, provided they keep on urging him to make a "short" of his toastmastering routine.
 Guarding Film Jewels
 Jewels-real ones, valued at $3,- 100000 in advance publicity re- ports but worth, in the opinion of skeptics, rather less than that-are being worn by Claudette Colbert for her role in ''The Gilded Lily"
 The story has the heroine wear ing limitations and supplanting them later with the real things. As the camera could make no dis tinction between clever limitations and genuine trinkets, the studio decided to borrow real ones and thus confident of their authentic ity, let the camera do what it will with them.
 Precautions include the employ ment of special man and woman to "frisk" all extras working on the set before they leave But the young jewelry men who transport ed the gems from the east are very casual about them. Nonchalance not only is their best protection, but two further safeguards keep them from worry: one is the heavy insurance, the other is the fact that each separate stone is card indexed in police files, so thorough ly that none but an amateur holdup man would attempt to seize them.

ELABORATE AND ORIGINAL SETS
 BUILT FOR FILM
The Morning After Riot ous Laugh Bringer Is
 Uptown Feature

Scenes aboard express trains, in waiting rooms, luggage offices and on station platforms are among the most exciting in 'The Morning After" which is now showing at the Uptown Theatre.
 To provide the necessary space for such large and elaborate set tings, complete station had to be built and some hundreds of yards of railway line laid down in the open-air occupying a large slice of the studios Tot" E
 Here on expertly gauged metals a train travelled by means of an ingenious but secret scheme of the producers, since the transport of an engine to the studio was for obvious reasons out of the ques- tion. The first journey gave all onlookers a real thrill.
 On the station platform was a wealth of detailed 'local color. Newspaper kiosks, cigarette stalls, fruit and confectionery stalls, gave prospective passengers chance to provide for a long journey. The locale of the station being Bal kan state, gaily dressed peasants jostled on the platform with tour ists, soldiers, porters and police. The arrival of the train provides an important moment in the story of "The Morning After" for the chief players in the film-Sally Eilers and Ben Lyon. The latter leaves the train to buy his fair companion some fruit and gets left behind through an unforseen delay. Complications of a thrill ing and humorous nature follow as a result.

out. Continuing he outlined brief ly the many changes that have been wrought in International Af- fairs since the day when people all over the world celebrated the cessation of hostilities in the ideal istic belief that the war to end war was a thing of the past. We have ceased to be a nation of flag wavers," he declared, and such slogans as were everywhere heard in the hectic days of 1917, will no longer draw our young men into the military ranks. Henceforth people will want to know why and for what they are asked to fight"
 Universal Peace Advocated
 Rev. Glasse continued his ad- dress by pointing out some of the plans that were being advocated as a means of securing universal peace-conscription of wealth as well as men, taking the profit out of the munitions industry, by making it government operated, making military service voluntary instead of compulsory and several other plans were discussed briefly by him. He expressed his surprise and regret that a country so dedi- cated to religious freedom as Amer ica should deny to her citizens the right to believe it is wrong to kill as matter of public duty.
 Rev. Glasse was the only speak CT for the afternoon MT. Roden, who was slated for talk on the program having been called out of town unexpectedly. Musical numbers were given by Mrs. Frank Dufresne, who played an ensemble of national airs on the violin, with Mrs. Ferguson at the piano, and by little Lois Davis, small daugh- ter of Mrs. J. V. Davis, who played two piano selections.
 Mrs. J. P. Williams, Chairman of the Department of Interna- tional Relations under whose aus pices the affair was given, pre- sided at the meeting and con- tributed no small part of the en- joyment of the program by her timely remarks. Following the program social hour was enjoyed over the teacups. Hostesses for the afternoon were Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Elizabeth Parker, Mrs. 0. C. -Collen, Mrs. Prank Harris and Mrs. J. M. Clark.

WASHINGTON, Nov. l1.-Ex- ports of scrap iron and steel from this country in the first nine months of this year are reported by the Commerce Department a1 the largest for any similar period in history, with Japan the prin- cipal buyer.

 This information recalled Secre- tary Roper's announcement several months ago that exports of scrap iron and steel had reached such proportions orders had been issued forbidding the sale of ships to Asiatic countries as scrap,

LOVELY GIRLS
 ATTRACTION IN
 COLISEUM FILM
Eight Girls in a Boat Has Charming Background
 of Girls School

Dorothy Wilson, Kay Johnson. Douglass Montgomery, Walter Connolly and Barbara Barondess are the principal players in Eight Girls in a Boat" the Charles A. Rogers Paramount production, which is playing tonight at the Coliseum Theatre.
 The balance of the cast is made up of eight beautiful girls, all of them unknown on the screen. Each was picked from among boat passengers in eight leading water front cities throughout the Unit ed States.
 The story is based on the Eu- ropean film of the same title. It adheres closely to the foreign pro- duction. The original is by Hol- mur Brands and the adaptation and screen play by Lewis Foster and Casey Robinson.
 The story tells of Christa Storm, a young student of a select girls school, where thoughts are all of romance.
 But the strong walls keep men out, and the stern rules forbid even thoughts of love. Yet Christa does meet a boy, falls in love, with a result, unforeseen, but inevit- able.
 The boy fails her; she can not bear to tell her father and Chris ta is gripped by fear lest her sec ret be learned. Alone, without hope, she breaks under the terrif- ic strain of her burden However, with her confession comes one of the most unexpected climaxes ever screened.
