It is my conviction, and 1 be- lieve it is shared by the enitire délé- gation,,of. the United States to the Conférence, that: "Thé cernent. of societies lu liberty_ togéthér with mutual' kindliness not imposed by law.Y Those are thé words o! a dis- tinguished French statésman of many years ago.

"The Rivais" is as freshly di- vrngas whén it was first pro- 'duced at Covent Garden in 1775 .and this week-end promises plenty of laughter and piquant fun.

Miss Crews, for years one of the foremost character actreises on stage and scréen, has had to forget éverything she knéw about her craft. Whéré sincerity o! émotion was once ber chief stock in trade, she týoday has to "chew scenéry" as a washed-up opéra singer in B i n g Crosby's new Pararnount film, "The Star Makér." Extravagant gestures, «"mugging" and sweéping entrances and éxits- in short, ail thé hani tricks that flourished in the days of kérosène footlights - are ahl part of M i s s Créw's character. *MOWB1MY'S NEW ]FIELD
