She won some local fame as a concert "turn" while still at school, and when she was 15 she went to London to study dancing and elocu- tion.

She got a place in the chorus of the rovne "Joy Bells" at the Hip- podrome she was the youngest girl in the show-and when the revue went to Paris she went with it, and from there got across to New York and "crashed" Into the presence of Mr. Florenz Ziegfeld. Then this happened:

Mr. Gandhi began by saying: "I do not like this sort of thing, but I shall reconcile myself, if it is only for a few minutes.

"Excuse me declining to pose for you, from which I am debarred by a solemn vow that I made in 1905."

Asked to give a message of greet- ing and friendship to the American people, he said:

"I appreciate all the interest and sympathy America hae shown in our struggle. I hope we shall be able to retain the friendship and good will of the American people to the end of our struggle."

Asked when he expected to visit America, Mr. Gandhi said. "Much as I should like to visit America, I have absolutely no notion of it, except that I should not like to visit America until the present struggle for India's freedom has proved de... monstrably successful.".

Asked when he expected to go to London for the Round Table Confer- ence, he said:

"I have no idea, except that I do not expect to go to London 'untess the Hindu-Moslem question is satis. factorily solved. Of course, if there should be a breach of the pre- sent truce, I will not go to London at all."

Asked if the King invited him to dinner at Buckingham Palace when he was in London would he dress in native Indian attire, or appear in European druss, Mr. Gandhi said:"

"I would be a discourtesy to the King for me to, appear in any dress other than my own' customary ap- parel.

if the weather permits, shall dress in Britain exactly as I do in India, namely, in a loin-cloth." Asked for a message of grecting to the British public, he said:

"I am glad to be able to say that the circle of my British friends is Increasing. 'It could not be other- wise, as the present Satyagraha movement; however much it may be be mixed with dress, is nothing but a movement for promoting the es- tablishment of goodwill with those against whom we seem to be fight- ing; therefore I have no miegivings os to the ultimate result."

GLADYS COOPER'S PLAN TO SAVE THE STAGE.

For some time past not more than half a dozen London plays have met with simultanceous success. There has been a steady crop of quick failures in the West-end.

Can London support about fifty theatres?

"But what is the point of build ing more and more and bigger and bigger theatres when there is no thing with which to fill them and there are not sufficient people to buy the seats? The salvation of the stage lies in fewer theatres and better plays."

Greta Garbo is seen in the title role in M-G-M's talkie "In- spiration" which is at the Queen's Theatre to-day. Migg Garbo gained success in her initial talkie "Anna Christie" with Charles Bickford,, followed by "Romance" Gordon.
