Signatures Indicate Style It is very interesting to com pare the signatures of the signed copies with the character of the author.

Meade OPTOMETRIST 14 West Eighth Eugene Phone :W() Jubilee Thrills London The dramatic impressiveness of the royal processional across London at the opening of the Silver Jubilee celebration of King George V’s reign is conveyed l»y this bird’s-eye view of the colorful spectacle just received in American. Preceded and followed by gaily caparisoned horsemen, the royal carriage, in foreground, swings into Fleet street between lines of soldiers smartly presenting arms. Thronging every available vantage point are thousands of the 8,000,000 cheering persons who lined the route of the pro cession. After being greeted by the lord mayor, King George and Queen Mary continued to St. Paul’s cathedral for the thanksgiving services. I Arliss Faithfully Interprets Richelieu In McDonald Film Wifi) "Pn r/lin n 1 17 ipholimi" no tVio i „ meat, and “People Will Talk" as the froth, the McDonald offers an appetizing and nicely varied menu j this week. Arliss faithfully reproduces the popular conception of Richelieu. He is efficient but sans the beard and vestments we might mistake him for a character in another of his historic roles, which bidge the archives. Arliss has such a strik ing individuality that it is well nigh impossible to submerge it be | neath the best conceived role. Con | sequently lie always has the same flavour, which, we add unhesitat i ingly, is very easy to take. The play is done in a romantic vein with a certain zest that re minds us of happy hours with Dumas in the years gone by (shades of the Knglish department leer at usl. The best shot was up the tree when we sat by the cameraman and watched the coach and eight roll beneath. The horses were magnificient. The film moves rapidly with sure I strokes to a climax that is played down.

When one con siders the dramatic possibilities of prolonged suspense, we throw our cap to Walter Hampden, who last season on the Portland stage main tained the suspense for harrowing moments. ‘‘People Will Talk” is a skillful comedy of manners featuring Bo land and Ruggles. Playing in a vein that is hard to match for dif ficulty, the team handles it deli cately and with success. W'ith an original situation and crisp dia logue this pair has a correct glove to fit their highly developed and amusing technique. Send the Emerald to your friends. Subscription rates $2.50 a year.

B B B B B B" B B^ Hitler Speech I Shows Reich Foreign Stand Germany Will Accept Arms Limitations If Others Do Chancellor Hitler’s address to the German Reichstag left Euro . pean statesmen this picture of the Reich's foreign policy: 1. Germany will enter non-ag gression pacts with all her neigh bors except Lithuania, with which | she is at odds over the treatment | accorded German residents of the ' former territory of Memel. 2. She will not contract mutual | assistance obligations, which Hitler ! characterized as virtual “military j alliances,” nor will she enter any | mutual security systems involving Russia which might force Naziism to fight side by side with Com 1 munism. 3. She will accept arms limita i tion “which means the elimination ; of the heaviest type of weapon es pecially adapted to attack,” such as artillery, battleships, cruisers j and torpedo boats, if other nations I do likewise. 4. She will respect territorial and | other obligations of the Versailles j treaty, even though she has abro I gated its military clauses on the ground that other powers had al ready nullified them by rearming. 5. She will fulfill her obligations under the five power Locarno treaty, intended to guarantee boundaries in western Europe, and will enter an air convention to re inforce that pact. 6. She will sand by all interna tional agreements she voluntarily accepts. 7. She will not engage in any war "for the subjugation of for eign peoples,” since Germany has nothing to gain from any European war.” 8. She will not put forward any plan for peace because “it is almost purposeless to advance construc tive plans if their rejection may be regarded as certain.’ “Bottoms Up!” Once the toast of the Imperial German Navy, it was bottoms up for the 38,000-ton warship Bayern when salvagers brought the huge craft to surface at Scapa Flow, where it had been scuttled after the World War. How the big hull was towed across 200 miles of ocean to the salvage yard at Itosyth, England, while 15 men lived on the upturned bottom is illustrated here.
