STRAND

With George Brent and Olivia de Havilland as its stars, Gold Is Where You Find It." a real enter tainment treat for every member of the family played to capacity au- diences over the weekend at War ner Brothers Strand theater.
 The film deals with a phase of gold-seeking that has hitherto been untouched by the movies the hy- draulic mining whereby tremen- dously powerful streams of water ripped away hillsides, from the debris of which the miners sifted their metal.
 But this debris overfowed upon the lands of the wheat-growers and orchardistS, and warfare resulted conflict that was prolonged and deadly. The fight extended over a number of years, nearly split the state of California in two, and was not settled until court decision de- clared in favor of the agriculturists and made the hydraulic interests quit.
 Supporting Brent and Miss de- Havilland are Claude Rains, Mar garet Lindsay, John Litel, Marcia Ralston, Barton MacLane, and many other top performers.
 The companion hit is Stand In" with Leslie Howard, Joan Blondell and Humphrey Bogart topping the cast,

Debonair William Powwell lovely Annabella!
 He's the perfect butler and she's the perfect lady.
 They're perfectly sensational, CO., starred together in 'The Baroness and the Butler" Daryl F. Zanuck's newest 20th Century Fox hit pro- duction which opens at the Loew Poli theater Wednesday for three day engagement.
 It's Bill Powell at his best, and lovely Annabella in her first American-made picture The most glamorously exciting personal ity ever to grace the screen.
 "The Baroness and the Butler" provides gay situation within few seconds of the opening of the picture and carries the light tempo through the entire story.
 Powell is so proper (even as a butler) and yet he outrages the Counts family and friends by a surprising breach of conduct.
 Just as they are awaiting the re- suits of the election in which the Count has taken an active part, the butler shuts off the radio. The Countess (Helen Westley) is in- cenSed!
 The wireless is turned on again. just in time for all concerned to learn that Powell has been elected to parliament by the political party which opposes the count. Annabella, as the baroness, is nonplussed at this situation.
 The chief worry of the Count (Henry Stephenson) however, is that he may lose a good butler. Some hilarious situations arise as the two political opponents go to Parliament together-to say nothing of the situation between the Bar ronness and fer former servant.
 The supporting cast also features Joseph Schilddraudt, J. Edward Bromberg, Nigel Bruce and Lynn Bari.
 The second hit on this program will be Murder in Greenwich Vll- lage," featuring Fay Wray and Richard Arlen in the leading roles.
 Current attractions at Loew's Poli include Shirley Temple, in Re becca of Sunnybrook Farm" with Jack Haley, Randolph Scott ana Gloris Stuart, and Maids Night Out" with Joan Fontaine and Allan Lane.

STATE

Claudette Colbert and Gary Coop CT kept local movie-goers in a jovial mood at Warner Brothers State theater yesterday during the open- ing performances of their first CO., starring picture "Bluebeard's Eight Wife,"
 Set against the background of Europe's gayest pleasure spots, the picture tells the mad story of an American millionaire who runs through series of seven wives in rapid succession.
 Cooper, in his role of the blase Croesus who does not become in- tereSted in his wife until he almost loses her, is new person and bears out the predictions of many of his admirers that his ideal part would be that of man-of-the-world. Miss Colbert, playing the urbane and resourceful daughter of the French aristocracy, James her one man as she tanned her two in T Met Him in Paris"
 Throughout their hectic honey moon in Nice, the Tyrol, Vienna, and Paris, Mrs. Bluebeard makes it clear that it is only business rela- tion. She pays no attention to her husband, browbeats him, repulses his advances, and generally remains as cold and aloof as the Alps. It works like charm. Bluebeard, accustomed to having his own way with every woman, falls madly in love with the one who spurns him.
 In the belief, however, that her husband will ultimately divorce her, Miss Colbert still refuses to give in, and realizes that she has carried her game too far when she allows Cooper to surprise" her in her room with David Niven, hoping to make him more jealous than ever. This proves the last straw, and Cooper goes ahead with his plans to make her his eighth ex-wife.
 With the tables turned, Miss Col bert realizes she is in love with her husband and chases him franti- cally about Europe in the hopes of winning him back.
 With Colbert and Cooper at the wheel, this film strikes the years high for screen entertainment in the comedy line.
 And for your further enjoyment the management presents Danger ous To Know" with a cast of fav- oriteS inclIldinp Akirn TanoirofF Gail Patrick and Anna May Wong.

removal of such a beard, but the material itself has no irritating.
 After a few days of hill-billying, however, the faces of the three ac- tors began to swell up like poisoned Ritz Brothers. Jimmy was the first to be painfully affected. He had to give up shaving in the morning, thus adding immeasurably to the problems of the makeup experts Al and Harry Ritz soon began to complain, and it looked as if the picture would be held up pending their recovery.
 The Explanation
 Dr. c. A. Seyforth, of the studio staff, was in spot. He analysed the spirit gum and found nothing at fault. Then he analysed the boards. These contained some Chin- csc hair, some Spanish hair, and considerable horse hair. (The Span- ish and Oriental wars, resulting in a great scarcity of wig, whisker and mustache material from those hir- sute regions, have brought a bull market in horse tailS.)
 Testing further, Dr. Seyforth
 learned that the Brothers Ritz
 have no physiological antipathy
 toward either Chinese or Span
 iards. BUT ALL THREE ARE
 ALLERGIC TO HORSES!
 AS soon as the Ritzes' whiskers were made only from human hair even from the Shetland Islands the skin irritations began to dis appear.
 Offhand, you may not imme- diately appreciate an even greater significance of this discovery. It's quite clear to the brother come dians, however-they now know why, for the duration of their affiuent careers, they have been the worlds unluckiest horse-bettors. It is a mysterious thing which transcendS even the probing magic of medical science, for the Ritzes never have been on horses or even around horses, but they always have bet on them. T know now" said Harry, sadly, "why I have always felt a little sick whenever I walked into a bookie joint"

Hollywood-Some rare occupation al ailments have been diagnosed in the studios recently. And I mean rare-nothing as ordinary as Kleig eyes, rouge rashes, psychopathic delusions of grandeur, ingenue slouch, producer melancholia or dol lar signs before the eyes.
 Over at Warner Brothers, almost the entire cast of White Banners" is suffering from colds, or what seem to be colds. They cough and sneeze, and all that. It turns out that their indisposition comes from working in artificial snow. Dr. Paul civilians, head of the studio first aid department, attributes the sniffies not to the wintry suggestion but to the dust from the "Snow," which is 8 mixture of gypsum and uncooked cornf1akes. He prescribed gauge masks as remedy. -
 More Hazards
 With the cold situation in hand, Dr. MacWilliams received another call from the same stage. He found Claude Rains, Fay Bainter, Bonita Granville and others complaining of headaches. These, the physician decided, were mild cases of snow blindness. Reflection of the bright lighst on the white set has dazzled the actors.
 This artificial snow is a common prop in Hollywood, of course, and never before has caused any i'll eff fects. Dr. MacWilliams explained, however, that few if any other con- panies ever worked so long on snow-covered set. The White Ban ners" people have been there more than five weeks; almost every scene in the picture has winter back ground. Almost 600 tons of gypsum anf more than that weight in corn flakes have been used to give snow effects to the small residential dis trict which completely fills one of the largest sound stages.

A Kiss Could Cause a War
New York World Telegram

A Sudeten German, accused of spying is reported to have been killed in place. In another Czech police are alleged to have threatened to beat up two Germans for whom welcome was being staged in a frontier community.
 That is the trouble with the sort of thing Europe nations and millions of armed men face each other across narrow frontiers molehs magnified into mountains and almost anything start
 Apropos of that very thing, we have just re- ceived a letter from a former British diploma tist who is observing events in the madhouse called Europe.
 VI have definitely reached the conclusion" he writes that nobody over here really wants war not even Hitler. Certainly the British and the French do not want it and am equally positive that the German people do not want it. But what every body is afraid of is that something will just happen to set it going anyhow.
 The other day-to cite in point couple of Czech soldiers celebrating bit in a border bar In a gOod-natured Way-as soldiers everywhere will especially when popped up bit by their drinks they insisted kissing the barmaid. But the barmaidS papa happened to be the proprietor and he threw the soldiers out. They came back later with of their pals and good-sized riot ensued
 That is one of the chief worries over here. Anything might start For that purpose a kiss is as good as a kick"
 Today Europe has hundreds of miles of frontiers brstling with bitterness and lined with armed soldiers Agitators with conflicting ideologies are mngling with the troops An incident could easily, be deliberately provoked or, just easily, could happen spontaneously-lik the kind in the baroom- and before it could be investigated and brought under control it could set the world on fire
 To make bad matters worse the one man who could do most to prevent another Armageddon is Adolf Hitler, the mystic, Europe's chief warord. a creature of whims If he holds to his latest reported gesture, the balance may turn toward peace

Horoscope 'The stars incline
 but do not cOmpel'
WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 28, 1888

WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 28, 1888 l Dominated by a strongly benefic aspect this should be fortunate day for many persons who possess power or wealth. The stars favor those who have places in the Sun.
 It is a lucky date for seeking em- ployment and should be suspicious for young men and women armed with recommendations. The rule favors the privileged.
 The stars presage higher degrees of proficiency in all branches Of wage earning vacations. The medi- ocre white collar employee will be discarded as thoroughly trained workers are obtained
 Unemployment will continue as national problem that must be solved through preventive meas ures which will have little effect upon present day difficulties, as trologers declare.
 High winds and floods will cause damage in many parts of the coun- try through the autumn. Earth quakes may be numerous. This is time for householders to repair roofs and to safeguard cellars.
 Food preparation should occupy special attention. Many cases of poisoning through contamination of meats, vegetables and beverages are prognosticated.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of fairly good fortune. Business journeys are pre- saged for both men and women.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be strong in mind and body. These subjects of Libra have a keen sense of justice and may be stubborn.
 Frances Willard, temperance re- former, was born on this day 1899. Others who have celebrated it as 2 birthday include Georges Clemen- ceau, French statesman, 1841; Ar mold Henry Guyot, geographer, 1907

REApING THE wHIRLWIND IN EUROPE

As last minute pleas being made abroad in an effort to avert war it cannot be overlooked that Europe having sowed the wind is now reapng the whrlwind Step by step since he came into power Tn Germany Hitler who is now looked upon as the monster of war, has been leading up to the present situation
 As late as January 30 of last year, Hitler stood before the Rechstag in Berlin and reviewed Ger many's policy and aspirations in the domestic and international fields He said at that time Germany annuls and repudiates the admission implied in her signature of the Versailles Treaty fixing upon her the responsibility for the World War, and from this time onward the German railways and the German Reichsbank are free from the obligations imposed upon them by that treaty and are restored to the complete sovereignty of the Reich"
 At the same time he issued a decree forbidding Germans to accept any Nobel prize in the future and established rival prizes for the Germans only.
 That in January of 1897, nearly two years ago Hitler had achieved his major goal at that time he had Haunted the Versailles Treaty in the face of all Europe and neatly it up while Great Britain France and the rest of what once the Allied Powers looked
 .. Naturally enough. he now becomes boder and seeks further aggression in order to build more powerful Germany In doing so he becomes the bogey man of Europe and certainly there is not much to his favor from the viewpoint of peace of the world
 But after all, isn't Hitler the product of those very nations, who today scurrying around in Eu- rope trying to avoid war? Haven't they watched the German leader slowly but thoroughly tear up and throw out the window the Versailles Treaty without doing anything about it except to plead they were acting in the interests of peace?
 If Hitler is the direct of another world catastrophy certainly part of the responsibility will to rest the shoulders of those European dipo mats who have let him get away with it. They have been sowing the wind they scarcely expect to reap anything but the whirlwind
