Atlantic continue to be worried about
the stamps Of King Edward Wits
reign. The New York Sun insists that
they will be used indefinitely and says
many collectors are interested in the
possibility of the Simultaneous sale Of
stamps bearing the efngies Of three
different sovereigns-an event un-
precedented."
But the London Times provides q
better clue to the riddle when it an
nounces that there will be no
Edwardian coins. It follows, in line
with British tradition, that the postal
issues Of the Duke Of Windsor's
temporary occupation Of the throne
will be suppressed as promptly and
effectively as may be feasible. The

STRAND

"Nancy Steele is Missing" a pow erful drama that rains blows of pas- stons and emotions on your pounding heart, will head the new show at Warmers Strand thaeter starting to- morrow.
 Victor McLaglen, winner of the Motto Picture Academy's acting award for 1885, turns in one of the finest performances of his career in this taut, dramatic film in which he is starred with two of the screens outstanding players, Walter Connolly and Peter Lorre, Europe'S one-man chamber of horrors. June Lang and Robert Kent are featured in the pie ture, adding 8 romantic note to the proceedings.
 "Nancy Steele Is Missing" with its tense thrills of emotion flashing power, begins in the troubled days of 1917, with the disappearance of the daughter of Walter Connolly, a munitions magnate. Shortly after ward, Victor McLaglen, whose know ledge of the horrors of war has turned him to ardent pacifism, gets involved in a brawl with police and, in the hysteria of wartime he is given 8 two year prison sentence.
 The events that transpire from this point make for dramatic TINT entertainment in the typical, rough, blirly McLaglen manner.
 As a character of passions and tenderness, of brutelike violence and childlike trust, McLaglen gives a performance of remarkable vitality and range, one that will rank with the finest the screen has ever affor- ded, and Walter Connolly and Peter LoYre likewise excel even their own previous characterizationS.
 The companion feature will be Mama Steps Out" with Guy Kibbee and Alice Brady in the leading roles.
 The story is 8 comedyof foreign society and matchmaking, adapted by Anita Loos from the stageplay, Ada Beats the Drum," by John Kirkpatrick.
 Betty Furness, Stanley Morner, Gene Lockhart, Edward Norris, Gregory Gaye, Ivan Lebedeff and Heather Thatcher are others in the cast.
 Rainbow on the River" and "Her Husbands Secretary" conclude their enlargement at the Strand this even- ing.

STATE

"Little Ceaser" explodes bomb- shell of thrillsl Edward G. Robinson comes to the screen of Warner Brothers State theater tomorrow as the tsar of Thunder in the City, with the sensational European star, Luli Deste, Nigel Bruce and Con- stance Collier.
 The desperate cry of ruined mil- lions ringing in his ears! The tender whisper of one woman tearing at his heart! At last. here's the picture that unleashes the full fury of Rob- inson's power to blast the screen with dramatic dynamite. that rocks you right back on pour heels.
 The clever tale, written by Robert Sherwood and Aben Handel, finds Dan Armstrong, ace American bally- hoo artist, taking a trip to London in an attempt to soak up some of the conservatism that, he has been told, is the backbone of British business. Upon his arrival, Dan is overwhelm- ed at being recieved into 8 castle owned by some impoverished rel- atives. There he meets the Duke and Duchess of Glenavon, and their lovely daughter, Lady Patricia. Falling in love with Patricia, Dan decides to make some money in a hurrey, He elbows the wealthy Man ningdale, suitor for Pats hand, out of the way and buys-without a dime-the unexploited Rhodesian "magnalite" mines owned by the Duke.
 The denoument is 8 startling one that packs more thrills and dram- atic punch to the foot of film than any of Robinson's previous pictures. And they have all been hits.
 The companion feature will be "23 1-2 Hours Leave" Douglas Mac Lean produced it from the Mary Roberts Rineheart story in the Sat- urday Evening Post, which produced gales of laughter when Tlpmas H. Ince made it into a silent film, with MacLean as the star, seventeen years ago. With the sparkling comedy of Mrs. Rineheart'S original lines, which could only be suggested in the subtitles of the silent film, faith fully reproduced in the modern ver- sion. "23 1-2 Hours Leave" is one of the most uproarious films of the year.

Hollywood-There are a lot of old voices in "New Faces" Old, familiar voices, I mean. RKO has solved the the problem of getting big names into a picture about movie novices by raiding radio.
 Most of the mare screen novices, too, except for Joe Penner and Par kyakarkus. And even they are best known on the air. Harriet Hilliard played in Follow the Fleet" but in in no such leading feminine role as she has now.
 And Milton Berle-well, in 1884 he made short called "Poppin' the Cork" for the company that is whimSically known as "Educa- tional." MT. Berle is willing to for get all about that little incident If you are.
 When he came to Hollywood this time, he was taken aside by Jack Oakie, who spoke as follows: "Mil- ton, you are great fellow on the air and you have been doing all right on Broadway revue stages, but this movie racket is the toughest thing yet.
 "You are going into picture with the two most expert scene stealers in town. I mean Penner and Par kyakarkus. You may not notice 1t at the time, but when you see the finished picture you will find that while you are speaking in a scene they will be hogging the camera or doing extra little pieces of business to attract the audiences attention to them. I'd just thought I'd warn you"
 All this was intended as a joke, because the two funnymen are no more addicted to Scene-stealing than any other comedians in Hol- lywood, including Oakie himself, and much less than Hugh Herbert.
 But the joke worked. Berle went in there to fight for his professional honor. He mugged, with gestures. He walked around making faces while Penner and Parky were speaking. He waved his arms. He moved in front of them. He did this for three days. NW

which found its way to Broadway this week.
 Professor Mamlock" is the story of a kindly Jewish surgeon who supported Hindenberg, won the Iron Cross for distinguished bravery during the war, became head of an important Berlin clinic. Unable to believe that his former record of loyal6y to the Fatherland will not see him through in days of stress and persecution of his race, the old doctor keeps on with his work in the clinic even after his son be- comes Communist and his daugh- ter is insulted at school because she is a Jewess. Finally, in 8 last rage against injustice, he tears up a do- cument in which he is indicted b, his own friends, filings it in the face of a Storm Trooper, kills himself before the soldier can shoot.
 Professor Mamlock," although an evening of dreary entertainment, is earnestly played, ably directed. Mor- ris Strassberg, as Professor Man. lock, gives a vigorous performance. The supporting cast does admirably well pat phrases, stock parts.

Babes In Arms"
 EnliStS Youth

BY NEA Service
 New York-Youth is in the sad- ale ct the Shubert Theater these nights-a gay, light hearted youth, tap dancing and singing its way through MeSSrs. Rodgers and Hart's Babes Tn Arms" frothy, frolic- some musical-clean as a whistle and chock full of songs you'll be hearing g-and hearing again.
 The stage teens with babes in arms-literally, what with Mitzi Green, age 16, in the leading fem- mine role, and the members of the supporting cast averaging about nineteen years each. Miss Green, you will recall, was the Shirley Temple of the nation along about eight years ago. She isn't pretty like she was then, but she CAN sing and she has good deal of un- sophisticated, unspoiled charm. It all begins in a small Long Is- land town when the children of group of vaudeville actors find themselves without funds and the prospect of going to the work farm dead ahead.
 To keep the sheriff George Watts) from sending them there, the local youngsters, aided and abetted by Billie (Mitzi Green), who just happens to drop into town after hitch-hiking across the coun- try, organize a show with the hopes of getting financial backing for a summer theater.
 For talent, they call upon Baby Rose (Wynn Murray), also 16 and a little sister edition of Kate Smith if ever there was one, who does justice to Way Out West On West End Avenue" an amusing, sure-to- be-heard.more-of ballad. Duke McHale (20) dances with gusto, and Ray Heatherton Ca few years older) plays opposite Miss Green, sings es- pecially well and keeps the kinder garten touch throughout.
 Although their adolescent en- thusiasm for the play to keep them off the work farm does seem lit- tie forced now and then, the kids keep on rehearsing, manage to get financial backing ($42.50) from Lee Calhoun (Dana Hardwick) whose father owns an estate nearby. Comes the big night which doesn't come off. Lee, his south-
