Reich's eyes"
for Fuehrer
Inevitable
Germany Denied Chance
to Vote s'No"-Herded
to Polls.
BY DOROTRY THOMPSON,


The Sunday elections gave Mr.. Hit
Ter the support of 98.79 per cent Of
Germany's voters, but they did not
help his moral position in Europe. On
the contrary, deep depression per-
vades the democratic countries, con-
templating the events of the next days
or weeks. For at a time when Europe's
wisest, most reasonable, most RESPONSE
BILE men seek to find through compro-
mise new path to international poll
tical order, the German elections only
emphasized the vast disparity between
the mind and temper of Germany and
that of most of the Western World.
Over the last week end all eyes were
on Germany. In England and France,
where public opinion divides, argues,
debates, all ears were at radios. News
papers with the German campaign
speeches and the election returns in
them were snatched from newsboys.
And what did they hear and read and
vicariously see?

They saw a people rise like huge

the radio, and the hooked cross blazed
in a million windows. Silence! cried
the radio. And every man afoot oy

and aeroplanes in transit stood still
Attention! cried the radio, and on
street corners and cafes, in Offices and
factories, ears and faces turned toward
the amplifiers. toward the voice OF
the leader. Vote! cried the radio, the
press, the Storm Troopers, the Nazl
commissars in every city block. An
entire people poured to the polls

was no provision for voting No. There

without freedom. Is that the peace he
proposes to extend to Europe2
From the platform in the Krupp
factory he appealed to the peoples
over the heads Of their foreign Offices.
"WiIl you have peace with Germany?"
AL the world wants peace. In Eng
land men parade in sandwich boards
urging conciliation. In France many
voices cry for understanding with
Germany. The order Of Versailles Is
dead. Let us start over! Everywhere
there is bad conscience. Everywhere
desire for security. Everywhere fear.
In the French general staff are men
who say March now. Better now than
later, since war Is inevitable" In
Italy, Mussolini says: There will be
war in Europe" In the League there
are those who say: Hitler can be
destroyed now with sanctions. Clear

at all costs. We must take Hitler at
his word, assuming he means his offer.
Germany must be brought back into
the League as an equal, pledged to
collective security, including all ma

must play for time. Time Is every
thing. Germany will not be able to

would, for instance, be a fearful row
In the Warner ranks if one of the
Messrs. Warner jumped up and said
that he thought Hepburn, Garbo and
Gaynor were the queens of all time
forgetting to mention such cinema
lilies as Marion Davies and Joan
Blondell, who lurk in his Burbank
studios.
If Mr.. Thalberg announced that he
preferred Joe E. Brown to all other
comedians, the M-G.-M. film house
would have nothing short of apoplexy.
Producers must be loyal to their
players. If they do not consider them
tops they wouldn't hire them.
FREQUENTLY, however, the term
greatest actor" becomes confused
with the less-moving caption great
est personality" Nobody in their right
mind could possibly say that Mr..
Gable and Mr.. Cooper, as able and
pleasant people as they are, can vet
rank with the greatest actors in the
world. Nor, to our way of thinking,
can Claudette Colbert join the ranks
OF the immortals. Miss Colbert is
handsome, smooth, witty and easy in
her actions. But put her in Ghosts"
and see what she will do.
Mr.. Astaire we are not so sure about.
His recent sallies into the realm of
the comic suggest that he might do
almost anything if put to it. We can
even see him dressed up as Henry VIII
heaving chicken bones over his right
and left shoulders.
There is no question about Mr..
Chaplin. He's there, and he'll always
be there You can't get a great man
down.
AS for Miss Shearer, she picks her
way carefully through an interesting
career, gathering the best there Is and
behaving in the dignified almost
queenly way which seems to be her
Hollywood heritage. To our way of
thinking, she is not great actress.
We are, however, in the minority. Her
admirers are legion, and there is no
reason to dumfound them.
Miss Dietrich has looks, so she
doesn't have to act. Sometimes she
does-sometimes she doesn't. Usually
it doesn't matter. Her face is her
fortune.
IN THE various lists of greatest
actors" which have gone around
lately, name is omitted which de-
serves infinite plugging.
This is an actor who goes about his
business without fanfare, without pub
Lcity bombs and without benefit of
appalling good looks. His name is
Paul Mum and if you ask Mrs. MUM
why she calls her husband MUM"

gently that her husbands name is

most Of the towns first-string review
ers turned out to learn at first hand
what justification there might be for
bringing to life play so close upon
the heels Of It's departure. The shift
in the cast served to diminish the
importance of the political theme of
the drama and to enhance its ro-
mantle aspects, which would seem
to be a shrewd move on the part
Of the producers, since the number
of students of the intricacies of Irish
politics available are limited and per-
haps exhausted by the shows earlier
run, while the number Of hearts which
beat as one with those of lovers in
a high historical romance are limit
less. Uncle Dan Frohman saw the
play last Monday and his entr'acte
opinion was that the entertainment
would be there, with or without
Parnell. Needless to say, he did not
mean Mr.. King, but simply that the
historic character Of the Irish leader
Is of scant consequence compared with
the more universal implications of a
man in love with some one else's wife.

"Sea-going" telephones have proved
to be of great convenience to travellers.
A woman customer of the Union and
New Haven Trust Company on board
the Aquitania two and one-half days
out of New York bound for Europe,
recently discovered that she had lost
her letter Of credit, which she would
need Immediately on arrival in Paris.
Knowing that the vessel was equipped
for ship-to-shore telephone service, she
called the trust company, told them of
her predicament and Immediately the
trust company official had the old let
ter of credit Cancelled to prevent it's
being used by others and provided
substitute for the customer when she
reached Paris. The whole matter was
carried out quickly and efficiently just
as if the customer had called the COM
pany from her home in New Haven,
according to the Southern New Eng
land Telephone Bulletin.
Ship-to-shore telephone service was
first established commercially in 1929
from the Leviathan and since that time
the service has been extended to about
twenty vessels, the latest of which is

the gigantic Queen Mary, which has a
most modern and complete telephone
and radio plant for various and sundry
commercial services. Passengers may
talk from telephones in each of the
ships 500 cabins with each other or
with telephones of the Bell System and
it's connecting companies and as well
with telephones in countries on the
continent or throughout the greater
part of the world.
An unusual feature of telephone
service from the Queen Mary is that
more than one conversation may be
carried on at the same time, service
that has not previously been possible
on other vessels.
The Queen Mary, according to Gu
nard White Star, Ltd, utilizes thirty
two frequencies and minimum of nine
antenna systems. The transmitting
and receiving apparatus are located
$50 feet apart on the ship. On her
maiden voyage passengers aboard the
Queen Mary made thirty-seven ship
to-shore telephone calls in a single day,
establishing in this way q record for
such services.
