Feast of Color
 And Romance in
 Show at Capitol

A glorious feast of color and TO- nance awaits you at the Capitol Theatre this week, where David O. Selznick's Technicolor production of the immortal Robert Kitchens love story of the desert, "The Gar den of Allah" began a three day run last night with Marlene Diet rich and Charles Boyer in the stel- lar roles.
 Words cannot describe the beauty or effectiveness of this second in- dependent production of the young producer who last season so aus peciously inaugurated .Seliznick In ternational Pictures with the charming Little Lord Fauntleroy. "
 Inspired is a much-abused word. but is is the only one this reviewer can find to apply to MT. Selznick' s choice first of a story that would lend itself perfectly to the magic of technicolor and second to a brace of stars who could bring that story to a living, throbbing life on the screen.

HITLER BOOK NOW LEAVES
 VIENNA COLD

VIENNA, Sept. 13.-Reichsfuehrer Hitler's book, "Mein Kampf," put on open sale here for the first time since the Nazi party was declared illegal, isn't having the success in Austria that people hoped, or fear ed, it would.
 For one thing. the Germans ex- pected that cheap edition, which even the poorest could buy, would be permitted. It wasn't. Again, no advertising is allowed in it's behalf.
 The Linzer Volksblatt declared that "Mein Kempf' would not be the dangerous propaganda Austrian officials for four years feared it would be. The newspaper said peo- pie could now realize the book had been written so long ago that much of it didn't apply now, and that they could find plenty of things in it that were not true.
 Two Jewish booksellers told The Associated Press they were stocking the book One regarded it as stock in trade. The other feared that if he did not carry it Nazis might break his show windows.

Shirley Temple
 Sings Chinese
 In New Picture
"Stowaway'' at Coliseum Theatre Brings Un-
 usual Role

Now she's in China Who? None other than Shirley Templel She even talks and sings Chinese, and she takes charge of a fascinating romance, faces danger in glittoring Shanghai, performs in a Chinese theatre and in short, plays the most unusual role she's ever had, in her new and most thrlll-filled picture, "Stowaway," which opened yesterday at the Coliseum Theatre.
 It's a picture for your must list--with a gripping story, a glam- orous cast of great stars, Gordon and Revers Ntest song hits, and first, last and always--the incom- parable Shirley.
 Little Miss Temple plays the role of a little orphaned waif adrift in China, the victim of the bandits. She becomes an unwilling stowaway on cruise liner on which Robert Young, a bored millionaire, Alice Faye, and the latter's mother-in- law-to-be are travelling.
