BRITAIN WILL
ADVANCE new
PEACE PLAN
Setup Would Virtually
Eliminate Covenant of
League
FIVE REGIONS IN
EUROPE PROPOSED
BY FREDERICK KUN -.
United Press Staff Correspondent

SussSS sSss StetA correspondent
LONDON, May g. tUP) -
Great Britain, in a QUESTIONABLE
of historic Importance to Adolf
Hitler, asked him whether he now
considers Germany to be in a po-
sition to conclude genuine treat
ies," it was disclosed today.
The question, in a note calcu-
lated to conciliate Germany rath-
err than to antagonize her, was
direct invitation to Hitler to say
frankly and formally whether he
now considers his Nazi Germany
to be on an equal status with 9TH
err powers.
Hitler's reason for violating the
Versailles treaty and for denounc-
ing the Locarno treaty by reoccu-
plying the demilitarized Rhineland
zone was, he said, that Germany
did not negotiate those treaties as
an equal.
The QUESTIONABLE, presented
to Baron Konstantin Won Neu-
rath, German foreign minister
yesterday by Sir Eric Phipps,
British ambassador, was published
today as foreign office white
paper" =,
Its potential Importance to all
Europe was shown at once.
It asked Hitler his attitude on
"the remaining operative clauses
of the Versailles treaty" j.
This. was to find ONT the vital
question whether Germany now
recognizes the territorial status
fixed by the treaty, it was design
ed to bring a statement about
Hitler's view of the colonies
which Germany lost after the war.
PARIS, Friday, May supp
Great Britain has prepared q
plan for European peace which
virtually would eliminate the
covenant Of the League of Ma
tions, kill the Franco-Soviet mu-
tual military assistance pact and
establish British guarantees in the
Rhineland and Mediterranean,
Genevieve Tabouis said in the
newspaper L'Oeuvre today.
The plan would abandon east
ern Europe to its fate, the usual
ly well-informed political writer
said.
It will be presented to Europe
at Geneva during discussion OF
the French and German proposals
to consolidated peace.
The plan repeatedly would split
Europe into FIVE regions as fol-
lows:
Western: France, Great Brit
ain, Germany, Holland and Bel
GUM.
Central: Italy, Czechoslovakia,
Rumania, Jugoslavia, Austria and
Hungary.
Eastern: Russia, Poland and
the Baltic states.
Balkan: Jugoslavia, Bulgaria,
Greece and Turkey.
Mediterranean: Engla n d,
France, Spain, Italy and Greece.
Mutual guarantees would exist
within the various regions but not
between them, the writer said.
Thus, in case Of German attack
on France, Britain, Holland and
Belgium would aid France, but
Poland and Russia would be bar
red.
The plan would suppress arti-
cles 10, II, Is and 18 providing
sanctions and military action
against an aggressor) of the
League covenant, the writer said.
However, the writer said, if
France refuses to abandon de-
mands for mutual assistance pacts

Beauty Scarce
in Film Center
Too Few Girls Measure Up
to Standard, Says Director.

Times Special
HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 13.-It's hard
to believe, but Hollywood faces a
beauty shortage! The alarming
statement is made by Mark Sand
rich, musical director, who explains
the dearth is in quantity, not quail
ity.
Feminine stars today are the
most beautiful of screen history"
explains the Follow the Fleet" di-
rector, because they combine intel
llgence with physical loneliness, and
that mental quality is reflected in
their appearance. Because of the
higher standards of intelligent
beauty, established by the talking
pictures, far too few girls measure
up to requirements
Beauty" he continued sis much
more essential than it was in the
silent film era, especially in the
musical productions. A happy we'd
ding between visual and audible
appeal is the entire secret of the
successful musical" Mr.. Sandrich,
who directs the Astaire- Rogers We
hicles, finds it his job to demand
beauty and knows how scarce it is
in Hollywood.

Singers Urged
to Work Hard
French Star Gives Advice to
Young Artists.

Ambitious young singers must
take leaf out of the book of the
veterans and subject themselves to
the relentless training which estab-
lished opera stars have undergone,
says Leon Rothier, French bass, who
for IS years has been one of the
principal singers at the Metropoli-
tan Opera House.
Mr.. R7thier, in some recent words
of advice, stressed the Importance
of the visual side of the operate
art and the necessity of thorough
musical training, as we'll as purely
vocal accomplishments.
Speaking of the performances by
the best singing actors, he said, IF
the music were to stop short, any
one of them would still be in the
picture, not a ridiculous image of
desolation and blank dismay."
Mr.. Rothier cited the art of such
stars as Emma Calve, Mary Garden,
Victor Maurel and Maurice Renaud
AL ~ oAAAe'VlN SAld1 dCbC1
"Purposely have not dwelled on
vocal training" he concluded. ut
is obvious that singer ought to be
able to sing-but alas, some of them
don't succeed very well. For while
they may be able to get by, thanks
to young, strong voices, but an
abused voice soon wears out"
Mr.. Rothier, an accomplished vio-
linist as we'll as a singer, credits
sound and thorough French school,
ing for his success. Although past
90, his voice still is clear and power
full and after a quarter of a century
he continues as a favorite with
Metropolitan audiences for the
beauty of his French diction and
the sincerity of his portrayals.

Task
Shows Skill
Of Cramer
All Chopin Concert Brings
Praise for Work of
Local Pianist.
JAN. 1a, 1890
BY JAMES THRAsHER

The compelling artistry of Bomar
Cramer's playing always evokes en-
thusiastic denial by his fellow
townsmen of the quotation concern
ing the honor accorded a local
prophet. When he gave his annual
indianapolis recital at Englishs yes
terday, he received a welcome that
was an ovation.
Mr.. Cramer again proved himself
a master pianist, this time in an all
Chopin program. There are more
than ordinary difficulties in the per-
Torrance of a concert devoted to
the works of single composer.
Each master, no matter how great
nor in what various forms he
chooses to write, has certain definite
characteristics of style, which often
droop to monotony in the hands Of
one less than an artist.
So Mr.. Cramer had set himself a
considerable task; but to it he
brought an acute musical intelli-
gence, thorough knowledge of
the composers strength and weak
nesseS and, of course, a complete
technical equipment. To detail the
excellence OF his playing is to cata-
logue the pianiStic virtues.
Begins With F Minor Fantasia
The program began with the p
Minor Fantasia, one of the truly
immortal works of its composer. 1t
is a work of melancholy grandeur,
with melody following melody in
lavish profuSion. Mr.. Cramer's in
depreciation was an heroic nara
tive; his playing of a high standard
which he maintained throughout
the afternoon.
Six preludes followed, exquisite
miniatures, and beautifully done.
Then came the B Minor Sonata,
whose tremendous difficulties were
conquered with apparent ease. A
stumbling block to many able pi-
anistS, the sonata became clear and
vivid in Mr. Cramer's performance.
The tranquil Largo and brilliant
tempestuous last movement were
particularly good.
Opening the second part of the
program, the G Sharp Minor Moe
turne was presented. Happily, there
were no Swooning signs in Mr.. Cra-
mer's playing. Choosing one of the
more viriie of the collection, he gave
it an Interpretation of poetic sim
certify. The MaZurka in F Sharp
Minor, which came next, was of
true Polish flavor, and the Taran-
telle, thrilling exhibition of dex-
terity.
Chooses Three Etudes
From the etudes, Mr.. Cramer
chose three from the second book.
those in C Sharp Minor, A Flat (the
"Aeolian Harp"O and B Minor. The
power and speed of the B Minor
octave study were breath-taking.
The Ballade in F Minor brought
the concert to close. Though
lovely example of the larger works
of the composer, and splendidly re-
created by the artist, this reviewer
felt that its place was at the be-
ginning OF the program rather than
the end. Chopin wrote no grander
music than the F Minor Fantasia
and, jealously we would have wished
it saved for the last
This city is fortunate to include
in it's musical residents one of the
artistic stature of Bomar Cramer. A
brilliant commander of all the re-
sources of his instrument, he is also
musician of deep perception and
sincerity. Few, if any, American
pianiStS are his superiors.

This year, Twentieth Century Fox
studios are determined that Mr..
McLaglens talent shall not be
wasted. The Hollywood men have
teamed two of the 1855 best names,
Mr.. McLaglen and Freddie Bartho-
lomew, in rafting action film,
Professional Soldier" next attrac-
ton at the Apollo.
Not Sure He Likes Films
Not. long ago, while he was work
ing on Little Lord Fauntleroy,"
Freddie was heard to remark with
a toss of his curly head and with
his brown eyes flashing indig-
nantly:
IF I had my life to live over
again l don't think 1 would ever
come to Hollywood"
No one can blame the 11-year- old
wonder child who jumped to glory
in David Copperf1eld." Certainly
nobody in the film city has worked
harder than the little Englishman
His freshness, his plain everyday
hoyishness, coupled with his I'M
usual memory and vocabulary, have
captured the movie fan world.
In choosing Mr.. McLaglen along
with Mr.. Bartholomew, the screen
boys have picked box Office duo
for sure. One can not imagine
more Of a contrast for workable
team. On the one hand the gruff,
yet kind-hearted, McLaglen; on the
other, the sincere, childish Balthol-
omew. 1t will be intriguing to see
what the director can do to bring
the two into harmony.
Started at Years
Freddie first walked on the the
atrical stage when he was years
old 1t wasn't much. In fact, he
merely recited a poem. But he was
a hit. His aunt, Millicent Bartholo-
new saw possibilities, and has
stuck with him ever since. She and
Freddie were visiting in New York
when Aunt Millicent read where
David o. Selznick was looking for
a boy to play Copperfield. She
rushed little Freddie to Hollywood
and he was chosen while 10000
others went begging.
Although Freddie's favorite sport
is still cricket, he is fast getting
onto the American games. He had
to learn the game of baseball for
the picture Professional Soldier"
and he has expressed a delight for
football
Freddie likes Shakespeare, can
rattle off any amount of it by
memory. When asked recently what
he wanted to be when he grows up,
he hung his head and answered
modestly:
Il hope to be an actor"
"McLaglen's Career Varied
Vic McLaglen is no newcomer to
nlms. But he is always a new
character. That's a funny thing
because he admits that he never
acts. He just appears as he thinks
he would naturally under the same
circumstances as demanded by the
picture he is playing.
He has been everywhere and seen
everything. This Professional Sol
