Final DoysAt
National

Truly the great picture OF tne
year 1.-THE Life Of Emile lola"
continues at the National The
ater.
Combining artistry with mag.
nificent effects and perfect tim
ing, this pictured history Of one
of the heroes of France presents
a superb study Of the moral
strength exerted upon a nation
by a man whose courage blasted
all obstacles.
lola knew suffering, strug-
gled against misunderstanding,
fought without help in an ef-
fort to bring truth and justice
to the people.
Success came and with it
fame and money; he settled
. down to a life of easy comfort,
attended by his charming wife.
Then came the DreyfuS case
famous in history; lola was ap-
preached by the wife of the
army officer who had been con
victed of treason and shunted
off to Devils Island there to
suffer a living death. Il am
an old man." lola said to Ma
dame Dreyfus when she pleaded
with him to lead the attack
for justice; she left him with
all the papers in the case and
he found a grave scandal and
proof of the innocence Of Cap
tain Dreyfus. This soldier OF
France had been a pawn to
cover up the misdeeds Of the
general staff and so save the
face Of the army. lola pub
lished : Scathing editorial in
the journal Of Clemenceau. II
accuse" he said, "the entire
military establishment and de-
mand, Mr.. President Of the Re
public of France, a reopening Of
the DreyfuS case"
The farce of trial which fol.
lowed resulted in the conviction
of lola for libel; he fled France,
went to England, where his pen
would not be Suppressed; he was
indicated, but he had spent his
strength and though his keen
mind seized upon another piece
of gros injustice and he was de-
termined to Straighten out this
difficulty, he died as he would
have wished, at his desk work
ing.
Paul Muni's Interpretation Of
the fiery lola is truly magnifi.
cent: his is the subtle touch
which bridges illusion and makes
for realism. He is supported by
an excellent cast which includes
Joseph Schildkraut as Dreyfus,
Donald Crisp as Maitre Labor.
. Gale Sondergaard as Madame
Dreyfus, Morris Carnovsky as
Anatole France, who delivers
a eulogy over the dead body Of
lola; Vladimir Sokoloff as Paul
Cezanne, Zola's great friend;
Erin O'Brien Moore, Gloria
Holden, Louis Calhern and
Henry O'Neill also are splendid
in their roles.
Under the direction Of William
Dieterle, 1.-THE Life Of Emile

and to the intelligent public to
whom it is addressed. <. Y.

Two Flags At

dramas when Ouida'S novel first

spite the fact that it launched

All of which is by way Of say

itself a show again this week.

Conflicting planetary aspects are active today according to astrology. It is especially trying to persons who owe money or seek loans.
 Women should make the best of all opportunities under this sway which is believed to open many doors in the professions for those who hold college degrees. Service that contributes to hu- man welfare will engage many girls. Nurses as well as physicians will be in demand to aid families that suffer from epidemics when cold weather sets in.
 There may be an urge towards romance under this planetary gov ernment and the young will be susceptible, but girls may be tickle and difficult to please.
 Gossip should be avoided with special determination at this time when many wild rumors may be circulated. Vague reports may null tiply regarding the spread of wars, civil as Swell as international

 Rise in the cost of living will pro vide anxieties in many quarters, but the social world is to be gay and extravagant in the coming winter
 Wise women will conserve their strength and will avoid unnecessary spending of the family income.

PRESTIGE" IN THE ORIENT

Regardless of the much discussed neutrality act when the dogs of war howl they bowling now on two fronts-in the Orient and Europe-the question of keeping out of trouble sinners down to just how much nation take without losing face before the world
 Already the cry has sounded in the Orient that if the United States does protect its nationals in China it will lose prestige. Naturally, the plea comes from those Americans caught in the present China Japanese conflict and those at home whom they represent No one can blame them much If any of the rest of spending days with shrapnel flying around our ears we too, probably would be crying for help
 But it not be overlooked that the big majority of the American people and the rank and file of the peoples of other countries for that matter oppose another war and are willing to go to decent lengths to avoid open conflict Thus the problem of pro- tecting Americans in China or in any other foreign country in time of trouble becomes a delicate one Warning factions always know that and take advan- tage of it. In other words they don't necessarily hold their triggers because American happens to boh up in the line of fire.
 There will be shouts galore about American pres tge until the less than 5000 Americans now China are evacuated But it probably a fairly safe guess that the majority of the American people do not nations power just because sprinkng of our people do not use the good judgment to get out of China at the earliest possible moment
