"At this he said, "Great Britain stands toward continental Europe, with no decisive or effective policy. It is time we had a change In that respect." "It was a melanchody thing'," he went on, "that the results of the last erection and the prospects of a change fln government has done more to bring Great Britain's influence into the minds of the dominating continental statesmen than the last twelve months of the government.

Jan. 15. I have before me and you have the pictures of the "Baby Stars of 1924." New spark, lers in the Hollywood firmament, heralded by those astute the publicity valets of the screen gods, known as the Wampas.

These girls, defying the traditional jinx of 13, arc the favored ingenues of the screen. All have had considerable' experience. Some already shine distinctly. Others' arc emerging from nebu lar glow. Pome may reach first magnitude during 1924.

If they don't it will not be the fault of the assiduous Wampas. "Because 11 Stutter" As I have said, I have their pictures before me.

Warfield has been imitated probably by a thousand players, but Carr'a, imitation was not only the lirst to start, playgoers talking about it but also tho only one record that started the imitator on his way to stardom.
