sweetheart. His chum is played by Charles Peck.
 In character roles are Christian Rub Elisabeth Risdon, Charles Ju- dells and Bert Roach.
 As entertainment, this film ex- cels either of Deanna's previous pie lures, although it departs entirely in theme and structure from "Three Smart Girls" or HOO Men and a Girl" Her new production is al- most entirely comedy drama, but with story that lends itself to sev- eral highly emotional passages, heart-gripping in their intensity, bringing tears in their wake much as did the finale of zoo Men and Girl" The. tears are immediately followed by comedy sequences, forc- ing smiles. It is this procession of smiles and tears which makes Mad About Music" a great picture.
 The companion hit is "Arsene Lupin Returns" Melvyn Douglas, Virginia Bruce and Warren William share leading roles with John Halli- day and Nat Pendleton also prom inently cast. Tn the supporting cast are Monty Woolley, E. E. Give and George Zucco.

A movement has been launched to insure Myrna Loy of place in the new dictionary.
 Leaders in the campaign are Clark Gable and Director Victor Fleming, of Metro Goldwyn-Mayer, who contend that everybody knows what it means to pull a Garbo," and that it's high time that every body knows what it is to "be 8 Myrna Loy. They point out that she's queen of the cinema" "the perfect wife," Number One Amer ican woman" and has lot of other popular titles, and that columnists and commentators long ago popular ized the expression, "Who do you think you are?

Promising Pictures Feature Programs Of Local 7heaters
Jane Lyon, Jill of All Trades, Went From
 Teapot to Stard0m When Things Just Happened

wrote a play by night. "To be a dramatic actress or to write really well, person must have had trying times and experiences" she contin- ued. Mrs. Lyon feels that she is now qualified for both.
 Pouring tea for the 400 in a little theater became a bit tedious so Mrs. Lyon set out to find herself some thing to do in new play. Things looked pretty black for a while and the lines at the casting offices were endless.
 She heard that "The Wild Duck" was to be produced in modern dress so she hurried to the casting office and begged for an understudy role Rehearsal after rehearsal made her confident that she had a chance so -whoof-like that, she stopped pouring tea.
 Gets Lead Part
 The day Mrs. Lyon gave up her position by the tea pot, she was informed that she couldn't be used as an understudy. Pleading and begging were no help. She wended her way homeward, and was just on the verge of having mysteries when the telephone rang.
 Postponing the mysteries to an- swer the phone, Mrs. Lyon found that it was the producer of "The Wild Duck" He still couldn't use her as an understudy - but he did want her for the role of Gina, the part made famous by Blanche Yurka.
 "You see," said Mrs. Lyon, everything just seems to happen to me at the right time."

Hitler Needs Trade Hunters. Not Storm Troopers; Mention
 Is Nude About Walter FOOte
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2o.- Whit Hitler needs for trade penetration is not Storm Troopers but corps of plump fellows like Walter Foote of Texas, or some of the other U. S. trade hunters. Foote is the man who taught jungle Scotsmen to drink soda pop.
 He's one of those singular fellows in the state department career serv- ice to whom red tape is simply something you find in piccaninnies hair. He looks like the ruddy Dutch men Rembrandt liked to paint.
 Foote is in the consular service His job is to see to it that Ameri- can goods get fair break in world markets. There are scores like him in the service. They're stuck away in the trading marts of the world. They never make the headlines, but their work shows up in the trade statistics. That's where the soda pop popped up.

Journalism, Not4 Men at Munich, Nor Rooseuelt,
 Auerted War in Recent Crisis
By MILO THOMPSON Chief of the Washington Bureau,
 Associated Press

WASHINGTON, Get. 20-A feel ing IS growing in Washington circles that it was not primarily four men at Munich, or a British prime min ister rushing by air to the doorstep of Hitler, or appeals by neutrals for peace under the leadership of President Roosevelt, that averted war.
 It was just as much, or more, the development which made all these things possible: modern commit nications and journalism, and back of that the inventive genius which made this efficiency possible.
 The increased availability of inn proved communications facilities is the chief difference between 1914, when war was not averted, and 1888, when, under similar circum- stances, it was. Never before this time were diplomatic gestures so instantly known, arguments so speedily disseminated and cove nants so openly arrived at

 tions in Islands

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20-Guard- ed German inquiries on commercial prospects in the Philippine Islands has produced official speculation as to whether or not the Hitler regime is eyeing the Far East as well as South America for trade outlet.
 The most recent inquiry was made by business men described as influential Nazi trade counsels, and caused government officials concerned with Far East affairs to scan late commercial reports care fully.
 These officials learned that Ger many, along with Japan and Italy, last year shared in increased sales to the Philippines despite free trade ties between the United States and the Philippines.

Attack Part of Fact Find ing Board Reports
 Union Members Sued

SEATTLE, Oct. 20.-Three fishing and packing companies, Pioneer Canneries, New England Fish Com pany and Pioneer Sea Foods, have filed suits in the Superior Court attacking part of the report of the Fact Finding Board which was ap- pointed to settle the Alaska Can- nery Workers dispute last spring, as arbitrary and capricious."
 The three companies asked for declaratory judgments against five individual members of the Copper River and Prince William Sound Fishers Union, holding they are not entitled to additional compen- sation awarded by the Fact Finding Board.
 The sums listed in the suits total around $1,0o0.
 Appended to each suit are copies of letters of two members of the Fact Finding Board, Chairman De- lancy s. Smith, of San Francisco, and August Buschmann of Seattle, which admitted certain vital fac tors were not taken into considera- tion in fixing the scale for the Cop per River and Prince William Sound areas.
 The letters said the two members of the Board expressed willingness to reopen the matter but the third member, Henry P. Melnikow, of San Francisco, representing the un- ions involved, objected
 Under the Fact Finding Boards findings the suits contend that the Copper River and Prince William Sound packers are required to pay more for their fish than their com- petitors in other Alaska waters.

BISMARCK WORKED IN SECRET

The difference is even more strik- ing when one compares the events of 1888 with the times when Ger many's Iron Chancellor Bismarck, by diplomatic methods devious and secret, confident of the right of German might, welded together a German empire.
 But it is not necessary to go be- yond 1914. At that time, as MT. David Lloyd George of Great Brit ain once said, No one at the head of affairs quite meant war. It was something into which they glided, or rather staggered and stumbled, perhaps through folly; and a dis cussion. I have no doubt, would have averted it."
 There was plenty of discussion in 1914 as matter of fact, but it did not circulate fast enough to overtake the onrush of the flames of patriotic passion. There was cor respondence between the chief ex- ecutives of countries involved, be- tween chancelleries and foreign of fices.
 The flow of publicized commit nications testified to the existence of a new and influential public opinion about war and peace, even in 1914. Nations found it desirable to appeal to that public opinion for moral support.

YE AMERICAN NATIVE

For generations many people living in the jungle countries of the East Indies have soothed their feelings with Scotch whisky and soda But while Foote was consulat- ing in the Dutch East Indies, he recalled that back in torrid Ameri- ca the natives (you and D were achieving the same effect with soda pop.
 So, he began asking dealers in the Indies why they didn't serve soda pop.
 No demand" was the invari- able reply, "and it tastes awful"
 Foote didn't believe that last crack. He investigated and found the trouble was they were getting soda pop that was not made in America usually sallow mix ture of fruit juice and pep-less fizz water. And it was served without ice.
 Foote finally persuaded a few dealers to take on small consign- ments of American pop and to serve it with ice. American soda pop didn't sweep the Indies like a plague. But it took on so well that one company now has it's own bottling plant in Java. It can be had at the better bars at Is cents a bottle. The dealers won't handle it for nickel bottle.
 Foote says his primest recollec- ton is seeing two Scotsmen at a fashionable club in Batavia, sip ping Yankee pop through straw, Zach had a bottle, not two straws for one bottle)
