Prediction that America may have

was made today by Brigadier-General
George A. White, adjutant-general
of the state! who was the prin
cipal speaker at the big public cele
bration of Armistice day given un
der the auspices of Salem post of
the American Legion.
After recalling vividly the call in
the night that sounded over Oregon
when we went suddenly into tfle war
against Germany, and recounting
the black months of privation and
service of all Americans, General
White said that the sun of peace
may again be obscured and urged it
as the duty of every American to
help keep alive the national spirit
that pulled us through before.
"Our prayer is that it may never
come," said General White, "but who
that reads history and keeps abreast
of world events can fail to sense an
omen that may one day threaten our
very existence as a people, may
threaten the whole white race, even
Christianity itself. .
"God enlighten those provincial
Americans who are wholly dead to
this ominous possibility. It may
not come in our time.. It may never
come. It may be upon "us in a. few
years or even less."
Preceding the public exercises,
which were attended by over 3000
people,, a parade was held through
the streets of Salem. Mayor George
E. Halvorsen, wearer of the croix

NO ARTIST WINS WITHOUT
STUDY, SAYS PRIMA DONNA
Actor, No Matter How Gifted, Must Take to Art and Learn to Use
His Gift, Says Marie Rich.
BY LEONE CASS BAER.
WHEN Marie Rich was 15 years
old she decided that the nice,
polite and utterly respectable
profession of teaching, which had
been selected for her by her par
ents, was not the line of earnest en.
deavor she wanted to pursue.
"Mother had set her heart on my
going through all the schools and
universities and colleges in the
world," said the petite blonde prima
donna at the Lyric the same Lyric,
tinder Keating and Flood manage
ment, that hatched out Frances
White. Marjorie Rambeau, Ruane
Daly, Olga Stack Priscilla Knowles
and a. dozen more who have made
good. "Mother had visions of me
going to . school and absorbing
knowledge all my life, until I was
a nice old person with enough stored
in my head to round out my exist
ence as a teacher. So I was put In
school at a convent in Chicago at
an early age, 10 years to be exact,
and to please mother-i studied hard.
"But my father had different
ideas. Not that he wanted me to be
a dumbbell, but he did want me to
pick out my own career. So at va
cation time and at the convent I
studied singing and I loved it pas
sionately. My father is Frank Rich,
a producer of tabloid comedies in
Chicago, and naturally I saw a great
1

Lyric Musical Comedy company,
at Baker theater.
deal of the theater. By the time I
was 12 all ideas of being anything
other than an actress had cone out
of my head and when I was 15 my I
mother became resigned to the Idea
that she might have a Mrs. Leslie
Carter in her home, but never a
Minerva, of wisdom. So, under
dad's tuition and guidance, I began
my" career and it has led me far."
Dance Art Picked I p.
Miss Rich might have added that
it had led her afar in a few years,
for the summers are not many since
she was 15. She picked up dancing,
just as Frances White did, just as
half the excellent dancers of the
stage have done, getting an idea for
a step from this person and an idea
from that person and making up a
few of her own until she can dance
with the best of them. Wftenever
the grind of rehearsals isn't too
heavy the ambitious Miss Rich goes
right along with her vocal lessons.
She appeared here on two occasions
with Kolb and Dill, playing the lead
with May Clow in both plays. She
has been in vaudeville too, and was
Ir picture work for one summer.
Miss Rich believes emphatically
that the art of acting is a gift.
"Actors are born, not made," she
asserts. "Of course any actor, no
matter how gifted, must take to
that art as a trade and a profession
He must learn to use his gift of
acting just as a singer must learn
how to use her voice and how not
to use it. just as a writer, gifted
with imagination, must learn how
to express that imagination in good
English, and with individual style.
A young actor must study and per
fect himself under a competent di
rector in a stock company That is
the best school in the world.' How
to walk on thft stage, how to con
duct oneself in a scene when not
taking a part, what to do with your
hands and feet, all these are not
born along with the gift and must
be learned from a director or from
sitting at the feet of great players."
Voubk Actress Happy.
Miss Rich is very happy in her
engagement at the Lyric. "I believe
with the late Charles Frohman that
if you give play-goers a good show,
with good players, a theater will
be well patronized," she said. "We
have a fine company here and our
productions are up to date, original
and smart. The company is like a
big family and we all take a per
sonal interest in the success of each
other."
Miss Rich says she hopes that the
women of this great western coun
try, and especially the northwest,
aren't going to let a group of silly,
effeminate men in Paris, France,
dictate .to us the length of our
skirts. -
"Naturally on the stage I've gotten
used to regarding legs only as a
matter of course, and the short skirt
doesn't mean a thing to look at,"
she said. "But I do think short
skirts are sensible and sanitary and
health promoting, besides giving a
woman more grace and freedom in
locomotion. I will positively think
my western sisters are crazy if I see
them hopping or slithering along In
long skirts," said Marie Rich.
Town Modern, ltoof Thatched.
In the thatched-roof homes of
Tacloban, on the little Philippine
island of Layte, the electrical idea
shines brightly every night, for
most of these homes are electrically
lighted, and the town, with a popu
lation of 12,000, has its electric light
and power plant with three 22Y2
kilowatt generators. The streets
are bright at night.
