The Turkish diplomatic stroke came hard on the heels of another Idow to Germany's prestige in the north, where Finland appointed Marshal Baron Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim president in an apparent move toward peace for that unhappy satellite. Mannerheim's appointment appeared to presage a general reshuffle of the Finnish government that rejected Russia's peace overtures last April. Saracoglu disclosed his government's decision to break with Germany in a definnt rpee< hto the national assembly which immediately ratified the cabinet action l>y unanimous vote. He revealed that Britain had asked Turkey to sever relations with the Nazis under the terms of the Anglo-Turkish military alliance, and that the United Ktateg had supported the British in this

Authoritative sources In Ixmdon described the Turkish break ax a dlplomstk- defeat of the first order for Hiller and his wily ambassador Frans Von i’upen. who has spared no effort in Ankara to try to keep the Turks in line and maintain the solidarity of Germany's Balkan coalition. These sources warned against speculation that Turkey would follow through with a dtelaration of war against Germany, bm admitted they could not be certain that the Turks will or will not enter the war fully on the Allied side. Sarucoglu himself made if dear that the Issue of war or peace is in German hands. "The decision you are alMtut to take," he tol« the assembly. Is not a decision of war.

We used a baby In the picture and besides acting, I had to take care of the baby. After a day’s shooting, the boyp would be feeling good. They’d ride down to San Juan Capistrano shooting off blanks like the real thing. Screen fans didn’t know my name at first. Btograph billed me as “Blondie,’* ”The Biograph Girl” or "The Girt with the curls." It wasn't until I went to work far Carl Lemmle's company, IMP, that I was advertised as "Little Mary." I worked for several companies, I won't go Into the details. But one of my ambitions was to earn 1500 a week by the time I was 20.

After a while, I became disgusted with pictures—couldn't see any •table future in them for an actress when Mr. Griffith could take an untrained girl and get a beautiful performance out? of her. So I went back to the stage where I had started at the age of Eve. I did “Good Little Devil” for Betasco. My understudy was Clare Booth. U she had held on a while longer, she'd have inherited the role because I got sick. I believed then, and still do, that the ultimate security for an actress is the stage. And that there is no lahting career for a woman in pictures, though I have nothing to complain of. Security always has been Important u> me.

Then, curiosity getting the better of her. she ’poke in a more friendly tone. "You read it and then read it to me.

Thousands and thousands of women must be thinking the same thing, preparing themselves for what can happen. It's a force, Andy, that's let loose. We women can't do anything about it, except make it easier for our men by letting them know we can take anything because wc have inner resources.” "What do you know about It? You haven’t a man," Andrea said. She didn't mean to be cruel, and Beth knew »t. “Anyway, honey, you’re looking too far into the future.” “How far is the future? Tomorrow it’s here.” "That's right.
