SHOPLIFTERS ApPREHENOED

Arrests AreKept from Pub lic for Good Business
 Reasons
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, June 6-Although thousands of dollars worth of trin- kets and merchandise are thefted from department stores every week in New York, you seldom read of it in the newspapers. There is a reason for this, and it hinges on the psychological hunch fostered by the gambling casinos on the Contin- ent. Merchants believe it is bad publicity for thefts in their stores to be reported. just at Monte Carlo believes it is bad publicity for one of its clients to commit suicide after losing his fortune at roulette.
 For years it has been the cus- tom at certain European spa s, when desperate loser takes bis life, to convey the body some dis tance from the casino and stuff a few thousand franc notes into his pockets. This enables the manage ment to deny that suicide took his life because of losing his fortune. It is custom that fiction writers have made legendary and there is evidence, so they say to prove that this has happened many times.
 In New York the stores employ their own detectives, most of whom are women, to keep on the lookout for thieves. They pose as shoppers and proWl through the store look ing at merchandise and keeping a close eye on suspicious characters It is said that dozens of arrests daily are made. but they are usually set tied out of court. The stores, except in extreme cases, do not like to in- volve the police and thereby let themselves in for newspaper com- ment. Such publicity has been in- disputably proved bad, as many peo- pie will avoid a store that figures sensationally in the news.
 The gambling casino angle, incl dentally, brings to mind one of Alexander Wollcott's classic stories It is that of the tall, young man who lost heavily at the gam

Films May Be in Doldrums But "Epics . Still

By ROBBTN COONS

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, June 3. = Scarcely cheerful reports from the Hollywood economic front lately would seem to indicate a general state of doldrums and a sorry out look for the years screenings, but her and there is brightness, bigness, and even a nostalgia touch of the colossal.

But Metro is sinking approximately a million in "The Great Waltz" elaborately costumed and staged version of the musical play based on the life of Johann Strauss. Fernand Gravel is playing that role, with Luise Rainer oppo- site, and Miliza Korjus and George Houston for the singing. Miss Kor- jus, here two years preparing for her screen debut, looks like differ ent person. Dieting and exercise have removed approximately 45 pounds of excess baggage, and now they might call her Gorgeous.

 In Too Hot to Handle" the stu dio is out to out-t thrill Test Pilot" This is Clark Gable with Myrna Loy again, Walter Pidgeon and Leo Carrillo assisting. It is neWSreel camerman stuff, concocted by Lau- renee Stallings and young news reeler named Leonard Hammond. The two thought it up while waiting for things to happen in Ethiopia a couple of years back. By fictionizing freely number of things that al- most happened with things that did like the Morro Castle disaster they have produced a big quick action script which will run into real money.

"STACE DOOR" IS SHOWING
 AT CAPITOL
Thrilling Drama a Co-stars Ginger Rogers and
 K. Hepburn

Based on the highly successful play by Edna Ferber and George S. Kaufman, Stage Door" the long, awaited RKO Radio picture which teams for the first time Katharine Hepburn and Ginger Rogers, opened to a roar of plaudits yesterday at the Capitol Theatre. The two glam- orous stars add new laurels to note worthy careers by their superb per formanceS in the remarkably com polling drama and share top honors with Adolphe Menjou who, in the role of a Broadway producer, recalls his outstanding performance in Miss Hepburn's Academy award picture, Morning Glory" in which he played a similar part. Other players who win distinct recognition are Gail Patrick, Constance Collier, Andrea Leeds, Samuel B. Hinds, Lucille Ball, and a score of youngsters, many of whom are newcomers to the screen.
 The gripping story is laid princi- pally in a theatrical boarding house in New York and deals with the topsy-turvy careers of group of stage-struck young ladies who have migrated from all sections of the country. A vivid cross section of life is reflected in the turbulent striv- ings of these ambitious youngsters.
 The powerful climax of the story arises when Miss Hepburn is called upon to make her dramatic debut directly after the suicide of frus- trated girl friend, played by Andrea Leeds, an assignment which calls upon her vast emotional reserve, but which catapults her to sensa- tional success.
 Deity directed by Gregory La Cava, Stage Door" will leave lasting imprint on the memory of those who enjoy brilliant dialogue, tense drama and genuine, human charac- terization Pandro S. German pro- duced the film for RKO Radio.
