GARMISCH-PA RTENKIRCHE
Germany, Feb. 6. U.P)-Reichsfu-
erhrer Adolf Hitler opened the
fourth winter Olympic games to-
day in the Garmisch ski stadium.
A brilliant and capacity crowd
watched the parade of % Compel

The inaugural was doubly strik-
ing because of a heavy snowfall
which dimmed the colors of rival
flags and bright winter sports uni
forms but only made the setting
more picturesque.
A hush fell over the crowd of
$4,000 which filled the stadium
and overlooked onto nearby van
tage points when Hitler entered
the balcony of honor surrounded
by Nazi party chieftains. The bal
cony is directly opposite the two
Olympic ski jumps, highest Of

Armistice Day
Program For
River Bend
By FRANCOIS

AS we reach the mid-week point
in our night club calendar, it is
quite obvious that the terrific
buildup of last weeks Halloween
holiday program are due for a
natural letdown in special enter
tainment bills. Armistice Day
today will add nothing unusual in
the way of startling musical pro-
grams, but the caliber of the
shows in general throughout the
milky way loop is first class and
worthy of attention from regular
night club fans.

The Russian TrOika has re-
engaged the services of the
dashing and handsome Captain

to more patrons than any other
person engaged in this vocation.

equivalent might precipitate

Now back in his old job, his
many well wisherS will get a

tatiOn.
The Troika is featuring a
snappy floor show this week, fea-
turing the orchestra under the
direction of Sasha Bartnovsky,
former pianist with Harry Hor-
lich's famed Radio Gypsies. Sasha
does all the arranging for his
group and writes many OF the de-
lightful tunes heard at the Troika.
Before we are guilty of too great
an inaccuracy, let us inform you
of a special Armistice Day pro-
gram to be headlined at River

ductor of Dave McWilliams' band
