Eden proposed the creation of an exc

quickly.
The speakers, while referring to
horrors in the Far Eastern conflict,
scrupulously refrained from arraign-

It was evident the statesmen were

 epic with young MT. Fairbanks. But the time was up before she was photographed in her first clinch, so Miss Dietrich stayed on two extra months at an overtime wage of $5000 day.
 Can you imagine 8 boiled American producer paying nearly $500, ,000 for the services of an act- ress who last year ranked 23rd among box-office attractions.
 Too Slow
 "What English studios need" said Atwill, "is organizing talent a few Adolph Zukors and Louis B. Mayors and Daryl zanucks, men who can say You can't spend this or You must make it this way
 Its an ironic fact that you can't get the English to go to see British

pictures. They find 'en too slow, lacking the Hollywood tempo and some of the fine Hollywood crafts- tnanship. It's also true that English studios have been victimized by a good many second rate American technicianS who have gone over there and helped turn out bad films" |"
 Atwill was enthusiastically received by his countrymen, who probably are better aware than Americans of his 30-year record as a stage director and producer. He found London pic- ture-tnakers receptive for suggestions, and he took part in the direction of "The High Command" Helped with the pacing and attention to details, and ruthlessly sliced the dialog.
 Later he was approached by other producers with pictures they wanted him to do. "The scripts" he said, ''were appalling -long speeches that would send audiences stampeding out of the theaters. I decided I'd better hurry back to Hollywood"
 Radio Actor, Too
 Here he was rushed into two pie lures at once -'The road back" and "The last train from Madrid" Also he's doing radio dramitization of the story of Lawrence of Arabia. Atwill plays Lawrence on the air, but he's much toe large a man to impersonate him on the screen. Says Leslie Howard would be the only possible choice.
 The actor says England naturally is anxious to reclaim its stars who have come to Hollywood, but att tempts so far haven't been of much benefit to anybody; the studios have paid over-large salaries but the play ers have been harmed by being put into poor pictures.
 He's interested now in M-G-M's plan to go into large scale product ion in England, shipping over tech- nicians, art directors, and American stars.
 "There are plenty of competent male actors in England now" Atwill declared. But the English pictures must have American actresses"

STATE

"Mountain Justice" which heads the dandy double feature program at Warner Brothers State theater today, tomorrow, Friday and Satur- day, is a study of life and love, combating ignorance, fanaticism and backwprdness in hill-country community. It co-stars Josephine Hutchinson and George Brent.
 Miss Hutchinson is young noun taineer girl who has a chance to live in the outside world for time, and returns with ambitions to im- prove the conditions of the native people. In this she is opposed by a cruel, bitter father, played by Robert Barrat.
 Time and time again, she and her young sister, played by Marcia Mae Jones, cover under the lash of their fathers whip. They live in con- stant fear of his terrible anger, and his threats to marry them of to the highest bidder.
 There comes time when she has to kill her parent in order to save her own life. Brent is brilliant young attorney from New York, who loves her and defends her. But so unfair are the country jurors that they convict her of murder, and the is sentenced to long term of im- prisonment. The trial scenes are said to be startling in their revela- tions of what actually can happen when misery is made holiday for the mob. What follows leads up to a startling but highly satisfactory ending.
 James Melton, star of stage, screen and radio appears in Melody For Two" his third motion picture, as the companion attraction.
 "Melody For Two" is musical comedy based on rather new angle. Patricia Ellis, Wini Shaw, Dick Purcell, Fred Heating, Marie Wilson and a host of other Holly wood personalities appear in the supporting cast.

POLI'S

The most dramatic disaster that can come to those who go down to the sea in ships-fire beyond con- trol-the whistle sounding helpless ly across the waterS-and the SOS flashing its plea into the air. That, in just a sentence or two, gives you the spectacular climax of new and astounding picture from the Metro Goldwyn-Mayer studios.
 This dynamic drama is called Song of the City" co-starring Mar garet Lindsay and Jeffrey Dean.
 It is doubtful If anyone has for gotten the tragedy of the burning of the Moro Castle on the Jersey coast. That very spectacular scene has been virtually duplicated on the screen for this compelling drama which opens a three-day engage ment at Loew's Poli today.
 A newspaper man Lucien Hub- bard, was the producer and another newspaper man, Michael Fessier, wrote the story and assisted Hub bard, with Errol Taggart directing. This is your assurance of a story richer in human drama and more tender in its romance than any story on the front page today.
 The romantic story in this picture is told with admirable restraint. You'll find romance aplenty when one man has his choice between one girl who would give him love and million dollars and one who of- fered simply her love.
 The story is enacted with vivid realism by talented cast support ing the stars.
 Completing the other half of this deluxe double feature bill, Loew's Poli presents H. G. Wells, first screen comedy, "The Man Who Could Work Miracles" starring Ro- land Young.
 Here's story that will send you out of the theater rocking with laughter! Filled with the naddest situations, the grandest comedy, the most glorious performances you've been privileged to see in many 8 moon!

 He is Fernand Gravel, screen idol of the Continent, whose first Amer ican picture, "The King and the Chorus Girl" which began four day engagement at Warmers Strand theater this afternoon.
 His fame abroad is understand able after seeing this picture. M. Gravel is handsome in tall, dark haired, broad-shouldered and thor oughly masculine way. Add to that masterful acting, a warm ana friendly personality, an excellent speaking and singing voice and you'll understand the elation ot Mervyn LeRoy when he signed him to a contract last year.

EROM behind the narrow Slitted
 window of his jail cell, Hans Tausen continued to preach the revolutionary doctrines of Luther to the massed populace outside. It was the time of the Reformation and Luther's triumph in Ger many, when this young Danish friar took up the cause of the German protestant and spread his new teachings through Denmark,
 Born in 1494, a peasant boy, Tausen was educated in the new humanism at the University of Leyden. We'll versed in Hebrew and Latin, he translated the Bible into the Danish language, and he was the first Danish priest to use his native tongue in services.
 When he returned to Denmark from Leyden, he was imprisoned, and from his jail cell he preached the. new doctrines to the people. He was released later, and in 1926 King Frederick I made him one of his chaplains. In l542 he was appointed bishop of Ribe. He held this office until his death in 1861.
