Earle to Have
MeIodeors

Perhaps some Of the boys are
influenced by her Harlowesque
beauty, but they are all unani-
nous in their praise of Ina Ray
Hutton and her Melodears, who
open at the Earle Theater start
ing Friday for a weeks engage
ment.
Whatever urge it is that stirs
within their stalwart breasts,
the chivalrous cream of the crop
Of musical conductors say nice
things about this gorgeous az
gregation of feminine stars.
Says Rudy Vallee, 1.-THE Melo-
dears is a splendid organiza-
ton"
Fred Waring tops it with,
1.-THE greatest all-girl band in the
country, without a doubt"
Luke Ellington, not TO be OUT
done, says, AN amazing expert
ence to listen to the marvellous
music of this band" and then
quickly adds, Miss Hutton Is
wonderful"
From his hi-de-highnesS of no
do-ho, Cab Galloway, comes the
following. "The MelodearS are
great; I never heard anything
like them before"
Will Osborne, in a moment Of
largess. says, Ina Ray Hutton
has an orchestra of true musical
worth-they play like men,"
Ben Pollock admits even more,
Rhythm like that of Miss Hut
tons Melodears is found in very
few male bands. No other girl
band has ever accomplished the
same results"

The long memory of a cast

for a term contract being
awarded by goth Century-Fox to
Mary Lane, 19-year-old Ramona
Convent student.
Calling at the studio with
several other girls on an inter-
view for a role in a current pro-
duction, Miss Lane was singled
out by an assistant in the cast
ing office as a girl who had
impressed him favorably when
he had seen her in the Mission

some by Hays office restrictions,
but you will find the screen
Dead End" throbs with real
life drama, mostly in its Sordid
aspects. Its dialogue is both
luSty and rowdy without being
profane.
The principal change in the
original script has Baby Face
Martin snuffed out by a bullet
from the pistol of Dave, the
architect. In the play he was
the victim of a fuSilade from the
Omen. In this respect the pic
ture lacks something OF the
high-pressure excitement and in
glorious finish that made this
stage scene memorable.
CAMERA EXPANDS SCENE
Sylvia Sidney and Joel Nc.
Crea play the leads, and check
in with commendable scores. 1
have never seen Miss Sidney
more tender and moving than in
these well-written and we'll
acted moments with her prob
lem brother.
The snarling and sinister
looking Humphrey Bogart was a
perfect choice for Baby Face
Martin, with Wendy Barrie,
Claire Trevor, Allan jenkins
and Minor Watkins doing AL
work with the lesser character
izationS.
William Wyler's direction is
fast and adds a number of hui
man touches that make Dead
End" a gripping narrative. He
succeeded admirably in getting
results from the juveniles of the
cast.
Sam Goldwyn paid $165, 900
for the screen rights of Dead
End" Looks like good invest
ment.
The picture opens at Loew's
Palace theater on Friday and
those who missed the play will
find enjoyment in its livid reali-
ties.

ROWDY AND ROUGH
From such New York crucibles
emerge crime and gangsters, a
distorted perspective of life, dis
ease and the dregs of society.
Such places can be found in the
New York Fifties, on the very
edge of the fashionable pent-
house area, and it is on one of
these that Sidney Kingsley
founded his play.
The ragged urchins who haunt
the wharf of the East River dead
end street, taunt the uniformed
doorman of the sWank apart
ment, they tease, rob and abuse
the we'll bred youngSter who
falls among them, they engage
in gang warfare, commit petty
larcenies, gamble and torment
the cops.
To these misguided lads, Baby
face Martin, Public Enemy No.
/, is a hero to be emulated. They
are juvenile delinquents ready
to be rounded up by the reform
school before the underworld
gets them.
Dead End" tells the story of
the pitiful effort of Drina (Syl-
via Sidney to rise above her
environments and keep her
younger brother, Tommy. law
abiding and respectable. She is
helped out by Dave Joel Nc
Crea), born and raised in the
tenements, but with character
enough to overcome the odds.
Norman Bell Geddes provided
a striking setting for this
realistic play, and Hollywood
has not attempted to improve it.
To be sure, the wider scope of
the camera permits little jour-
neys into the dark halls, gives
a closeup of the poverty that
blankets the dirty novels of the
tenants, peers into the alleys
and cellars where crime breeds.

 He was Vivian Burnett, son of the novelist, Frances Hodgson Burnett, who created the prototype of child ish sweetness ad light of the fond mothers of 50 years ago, and was the unwilling torturer of thousands of little boys squeezed very much against their will into the troubled costumes celebrated as Little Lord Fauntleroy suits.
 Burnett was sailing his yawl. De- light III, yesterday. He found four persons from an overturned sail- boat clinging to buoy He and his crew rescued them and while the Delight III was en route to shore. he collapsed of . heart attack and died. "f +l.
 Mrs. Burnett wrote in c inaga-' zine article years after her novel had had it's sensational success, that her seven-year-old son had ap-l preached her, saying: "Why don't you write a book for little boys like me?' She thereupon sat down and wrote the story of the crotchety old Earl of Dorincourt who was estranged from his daughter. iiap- pily, the daughter had c little boy, called Little Lord Tauntleroy, who was c paragon Of all virtues, and who FeconeiIed nis grandfather and

He thought he had succeeded in living down what to his juvenile companions was 6 disgrace. since to the boyish mind to be c Little Lord Fauntieroy was to be . sissy. Bur. nett immediately went out for all the strenuous athletics and made the track team. After graduation, he began journalistic career as . two.fisted rewspaperman In Den. yer which then was a two-fsted newspaper town.

TlUo Brother Ministers Are
 Under Arrest In Germany

Berlin, July 26-(Up)-Leaders of the Evangelical church opposition. In bold defiance of . new repres- sive campaign by Nasi authorities, circularised ali Evangelical pastors today protesting against the charg. es on which the Rev. Martin Mem. oller is to Dc tried this week. Niemoller is one Of the most vig- oro,is of the opposition leaders. He Is held on charges of defyine Nazi authorities, and as preparations for his trial neafed completion his brother, the Rev. Wilhelm NIemol- Ter, was arrested yesterday. Also, Thuringian authorities forbade the Evangelical bishops of Hanover, Bavaria and Wurttemberg, oil pro. iiiinent in the opposition movement, either to preach or reside in their districts.
 The Rev. Wilhelm Niemoller was arrested after e laudaticn of his brothers stand ct his church in the Dahlen suburb. He appealed to the congregation to stand fast. The ar- rest of Wilhelm Niemoller brought to e the number of opposition pas- tors arrested. The manifesto sent throughout the country by opposi- ton leaders denied assertions in German newspaper that Martin Niemoller made provCcatofy speech- e, reTiled Maxi percentages ct dls- Quietcd the population.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-07-26

'"IIc did nothing but spread Gods Gospel" Said the manifesto. When he repudiated attacks upon the Christian faith he acted upon the responsibility of his office. "AS to the charge that he disqtieted the population, the fact Is that the Evangelical population has been disquieted ever since the state first attempted to control the inner fife of the church ifi l033"-when the NaMS assumed power.
 The manifesto defended Niemol- Ter against the charge that he made untrue statements. Owing to the government ban on public discus. sion of church affairs, the manifes- to said, it was most difficult to ob- tain exact information. NiemolIer always willingly corrected any mis- takes he made, 1t was added. After denying that Niemolier supplied foreign newspapers with informa- ton regarding Germany. the niani- festo said:
 ''The fate of Christianity ih Ger. many deeply moves all other laa- ticns. It is a matter of tremendous importance for mankind as a whole whether the Gospel may be freely preached in the mother country Of the reformation.
