SYLVIA SIDNEY IS STARRED IN
 DRESSER STORY
Jennie Gerhardt'' from Sensational Novel by
 Author at Capitol

Jennie Gerhart' was the most talked of woman in American fic- tion.
 Now this tragic figure of Amer iean womanhood comes to vivid life in an amazing portrayal by Sylvia Sidney. The picturization of the sensational Theodore Drei- ser novel opens tonight at the Capitol Theatre. Featured in the cast are Donald Cook, Mary As tor. H. B. Warner and Edward Arnold.
 Jennie Gerhardt" is the first picture in which Miss Sidney achieves the goal of all film play CTS, star billing, and her splendid performance in the title role un- doubtedly won for her this right. Her sad, wistful manner is genu- inely a part of the character it. self, bringing to it all that Drei- ser might ever have intended. Rarely, in fact has any character of fiction ever been so deftly trans planted to the stage or screen.
 Jennie Gerhardt, in case you've forgotten, stands, as a character, for the hopes and despairs, loves and sacrifices of all womanhood. She is a beautiful, sensitive girl, raised in poverty. It is her fam ily's poverty that is responsible for her inability to refuse the fa- vors of those who night help solve their financial problems. A child is born to her. But again it is her family's need that forces her into another like situation.
 This time it is with wealthy Lester Kane, played by Donald Cook, whom she learns to love. They live together for years, but when Jennie realizes he is robbing himself of the possibility of suc- cess in his own world, she leaves him, sacrificing herself now that her family no longer needs her. It is an overpowering story of a girl driven through desperation to an unacceptable end. It is the beau ty of her nature that her happi- ness comes from her willing sac rifice.
 The picture adds greatly to the lustre of Dreiser's novel. Miss Sidney's performance brings it to life, makes it strong, honest, com polling. When, in the future, you think of Dreiser's story, the sheer magic of Miss Sidney's perform ance is bound to recall her figure in your mind.

U. s. Picks Rum
 to Aid in Virgin
 Islands Comeback
CContinued from Page One)

Continued from Page One) marvelling at the various manifes- tations of New Dealism exclaim And the answer of interested Fed eral officials is:
 Let the rehabilitation fit the spot that was hit"
 Rum made on the pretty plant ters island of St. Croix once com manded the highest prices of~any on the market. It came into pos session of the United States in 1917, and this country shortly there after came into possession of pro- hibition.
 The Rehabilitation Plan
 Result-the death of St. Croix rum
 Now the New Deal having brought repeal, seeks to revive it. Particularly interested are the Pres ident, Secretary Ickes and his as- sistant, Oscar L. Chapman, and, of course, Paul M. Pearson, Gov ernor of the Virgin Islands.
 Here's the set-up: PWA to spend $1,0000 900 in purchase and repair of sugar
 mills, refineries, and rum dis
 ti1leries on the island of St. Croix.
 The Virgin Islands company, corporation, to be formed by the Colonial Council of St.
 Croix to run the plants, it's
 capitalization to be nominal three $10 shares issued to Ickes, Chapman and Pearson
 as individuals.
 This company to borrow ap-
 proximately $350,000 from Fed
 eral subsistence homesteads to
 build the sugar cane commun-
 ities and run the plants for
 the first year or two.
 This company also to act as
 governmental agency in run-
 ming the rum monopoly, and to
 engage in such other rehabili-
 tation industries as may be
 needed for the islands.
 It may lease the Bluebeard
 Castle hotel It may go into
 the electric light business. It
 may foster native basketry.
 One think has been made clearly understood-t the Government of the Virgin Islands is to have a monopoly over it's rum industry the purpose being to secure very strict control over the quality
 Rum Out to Regain Fame
 That means that Santa Cruz rum must regain it's name and fame. And the island of St. Croix these days fairly bristles with pride in it's traditional product as workmen busily turn old slave sline houses" into model subsis- tence communities.
 These homes, primitive to the point of charcoal stoves and the old time goose" for Ironing clothes are model only in comparison to the pitiful shacks they replace. But they fit picturesquely, pleas antly, hopefully, into lovely green landscape featured by dilapidated sugar mills, crumbling smoke stacks, and ruins of once prosper ous plantations.
 Memories Go Far Back
 Hilltops are crowned by solid bulks which St. Croix boasts, were windmills that ground out the cane to make St. Croix rum way back in the ZOOS.
 Memories are long on that is- land. The boyhood there of AL exander Hamilton is as vivid tale as if it had been yesterday. The inhabitants know their rum le- gends clear back to when the black emperor, Henry Christophe, a boy in St. Thomas, bought his freedom by smuggling it.
 Depend upon it-they haven't lost the recipe for Santa Cruz rum uafr

WANNA, July 2.-High quarters in Vienna say that if the radical wing of the Nazi movement has been really squelched, there may be a rapid solution of the Austro- German quarrel.
 Because of the shutting off of contradictions across the bor- der, news is meagre, but good authorities pointed out that il Hitler's regime is now freed from radioalism, the future holds real peace with the Roman Catholic elements of Germany.
 In that event, one of the greatest obstacles to Autro--German peace would be removed.

 The fire marshal stated today that there was something myster- ious about the Cause of the two fires, but there was no indication of incendiaryism.
