Thousands of players. topped by a dozen of the biggest star names in Hollywood, entertained capacity audiences attending the Warner Bros. Strand theater yesterday as the grand romance of Francois Vil- lion If I Were King" opened its three day engagement.
 Colman who has portrayed many romantic characters of our history and fiction, is seen as the dashing Villon and this role is the most TO- mantle one of all. As the gay, hap py-go-lucky rogue who scandalizes all Paris with his escapades only to end up as ruler of France for one week he turns in an exceptionally fine performance.
 Cast in the role of "Katharine De Vaucelles," the naughty princess and lady-in-w waiting to the queen, who loses her heart to the poetic rogue is Frances Dee, teamed with Colman for the first time. The two stars form an excellent romantic team of which theatergoers will un- doubtcdly see more of in the future, Basil Rathbone gives another of his brilliant performances as King Louis XI.

STATE.

Current attractions concluding their engagements this evening at the Warner Bros State theater ifl- clude the technicolor production Drums starring Sabu with an all- star cast; also "Service De Luxe: starring Constance Bennett with Mischa Auer and others of note.
 Tomorrow the State will usher in two outstanding attractions with the technicoIor production Heart of the North" starring Dick Foran and Gloria Dickson with Gale Page, Patric Knowles, Allen Jenkins and youthful Janet Chapman, headlin- ing the bill.
 High adventure along one of the worlds last frontiers is the keynote of this picture which deals with the completely authentic tale of that famous law enforcement body of the Canadian northwest, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
 The picture "debunks" many a widespread misconception of the operations and daily existence of the Canadian "Mounties", but the actuality as wildly portrayed in this picture, turns out to be even more thrilling and certainly more interesting than the popular de- lusions.
 This technicolor production was done on the same large scale as all of the previous Warner Bros. color pictures and the cast, mentioned above, is SO literally sprinkled with outstanding names that anyone oi at least half a dozen players could with equal justice be called the star of the troupe.
 The hero of the story is Dick Foran, who is most effective in out door pictures, and there are three girls who could each be nominated as heroine. They are Gloria Dick son, Gale Page, and little Janet Chapman, six-year-old starlet who time and again has captured the hearts of a host of fans. An animal actor who is a cinch to steal some of the scenes in which he appears is a huge police dog, called Rex in this picture, but in reality the famous Lightning" who was starred in White Fang" and other films.
 The country in which the story is laid borders the Mackenzie River in the far northwest of Canada just below the Artic Circle. Int impressive outdoor scenes of the production show this scarcely pop ulated outpost of civilization in technicolor for the first time.
 The story revolves about the hold up of the Artic Queen, a little steamship loaded with trappers priceless furs and miners gold. Il is needless to say that the picture builds to an absorbing climax packed with thrills.
 And for your further enjoyment the management will present "the Mad Miss Nation" co-starring Bar bara Stanwyck and Henry Fonda.

brim of this hat matches his coat lapels gives him an added lift. For tails and the formal daytime cut away, for full dress and ceremonial occasions, the high silk hat is an indispensable. While for evening theater, party or dance, the fold ing opera hat-with the added convenience of folding-is another man-about-town necessity. It is worn with either tailcoat or din ner jacket but never in the day. time.
 Spring, Summer and Resort Wear
 Tn early spring Gas well as early falD, when the overcoat is not worn, a lightweight felt or in between seasons hat, as it is some times called, is an accepted fash- ion. Many men include variety of ,colors and trims in the light weights for informal use.
 The remaining three hats in the sartorially correct hat wardrobe are for summer and resort wear and include a straw sailor, pam anna and semi-sport straw. In town, no hat is dresSier for sum- mer wear than the straight-brim sailor, in fine sennit or china-split straw, particularly with colored ban to harmonize with the cos- tune. It is also approved for semi formal summer evening wear in fine sennit or china-split straw with a black band. For mid-sum- mer days when the costume calls for a day with more informal lines than sailor, the Panama is an enjoyable change. With nar- row black band, it is also good looking and correct for wear with summer dinner jacket or mess jacket.
 The vogue of semi-sport clothes for summer has made it essential also to own one or more of the new semi-sport straws. They are practically weightless (made of Hanoki, Bangkok, Leghorn and other tropical straws) and fit the picture on hottest days in town or country when dressy comfort is the first consideration.
 To the myriads of people a man meets, the attention zone of his appearance is centered between his Adams apple and the top of his hat. If more men only realized this, they would be more careful to select hats in shapes becoming to their faces and in shades har- monizing with their hair, eyes and coloring as well as their clothes.

POLES

Based on what is said to be the most original story idea ever con- ceiyed for a Shirley Temple picture, "Just Around The Corner, opens Saturday at the Loew Poli Theater, with Americas Number One star surrounded by splendid cast.
 The story concerns the hilarious but happy consequences which arise when Shirley confuses a wealthy old banker (whose name happens to be Uncle Sam" Menshaw) with the lean bewhiSkered gentleman who is the symbol of our national life.
 Having featured roles in this grand hit are Charles Farrell in his first big screen role in his come back to the screen, Amanda Duff, Ca promising newcomer dancing star Bill Robinson who performs several new novelty numbers with Shirley as his partner, comedienne Joan Davis, and Bert Lahr.
 On the same program is apother smash feature, Spring Madness" :" It is of all things, a college story which does not concern itself with football, do-or-die for Alma mater, etc., etc. Instead 1t deals with the problem of about to- be graduated college students. wondering what to do about marrying people they love, and how to go about adjusting themselves to a strange world.
 Lew Ayres and Birgess Meredith have the leading roles of the new film as two young Harvard students who decide to go to Russia instead of trying to find jobs. Unfortunately for their plans, Ayres has fallen in love with Maureen O'Sullivan, 8 student at girls college. But Mer- edith insists that Ayres take the trip. and persuades him to give up the impossible idea of marriage.

Rumania's Carol Shows Mailed Fist at Last
Bv NEA Service

By NEA Service
 Turbulent always, the career of Rumania's King Carol reaches it's greatest crisis in the country's current internal struggle, involving the Fascist Iron Guard and the killing of 1T of its leaders.
 Around Carols life has been woven a pattern of tempest and intrigue, of plot and counterplot "a real life story which would do credit to the fanciful flights of Graustarkian novel.
 The tall, slender, A year old ruler should be accustomed to crises. He has known little else. A MARRIAGE
 WAS ARRANGED
 Born in 1893, Carol was doni- mated through boyhood and young manhood by his mother, the late Queen Marie. In September, 1918, he deserted his regiment, engaged against the Germans on the front, to elope with Mile. Zizi Lambrino, a Rumanian girl. He was confined in a military fortress for jumping the army; the mar riage was annulled by church and state.
 Persuaded by these methods to cement Grecian matrimonial alliance, the prince wed Princess Helen in 1921. This was after reconciliation of family quarrel precipitated by Carols desire to renounce his right of succession.
 Pronunciation became complete nevertheless in 1925 when Carol deserted his wife to live in Paris with Mme. Mazda Lupescu, who seemed to have broken the young mans inferiority complex, result of long years of strict parental guidance.
 Although the prince and his mother reached a minor recon ciliation in 1926 when the queen was en route to America, doors of Rumania remained closed to the wayward son. Upon the death of King Ferdinand in 1927, Carol was forbidden to attend the funeral and his 5-year-old son by Princess Helen, Michael, was proclaimed king under regency.
 WHERE HE GOES
 MAGDA GOES
 Shortly thereafter, however, the death of Premier Jonel Bratianu, most powerful figure in Rumanian politics, changed the situation. More favorable to Carol was the new premier, Julius Maniu.

IA Playboy King Cracks Down
Plots, Intrigue HighIight His Spotty Career

Staying of Corneliu Zelae Co., dreanu and 16 of his Iron Guard followers for an alleged. attempt to escape prison is the newest act in the drama.
 FIRM AGAINST
 NAZI AGITATION
 Observers believe that the Iron Guards original intent was Ger man-backed plan to Nazify Ruman- ia and use it as base of operations against Russia. Run1ania is rich in natural resources, particularly oil
 Spurred by Hitler's successes Codreanu, a native of Poland had founded the anti-Semitic or- der which later became the Iron Guard. Openly he taunted the king on his friendship" with the part-Jewish Mime. Lupescu. In 1883 Premier Duca, who had threatened the Iron Guard with stringent decrees, was assassinated But Codreanu, a co-defendant in the trial of the assassins, was acquitted.
 King Carol remained silent and opponents charged the monarch with deliberate Irritation with Fascism.
 Then Codreanus aims scared when, a year ago, his party in- creased its number of seats in Parliament to 62.
 But in February, 1888, Carol made himself virtual dictator and decided to strike at the Iron Guard.
 Now he is faced with the prob- lem of cautiously playing his hand against his opponents without throwing his nation into 8 turmoil which might lead to internal breakdown.
 Germany could use Rumania very nicely. Jealous Hungary would like Pennsylvania, taken from her and annexed to Rumania following the World War.
 Prodigal and playboy, perhaps but Carol stands his ground firmly against opposing groups to con- tinue 8 limited monarchy in ] Europe rife with "isms.' At the showdown, he has decided that ii there is to be dictatorship in Ru- mania, he, and nobody else, will be the dictator.
 He dictated and forced through a popular vote Rumania's current constitution, which bars the Iron Guard. He has thwarted death plots against himself and Mime Llpescu. At the moment he more nearly fits the title "lzing" than ever before.

WAR TREATIES NOT BELIEVED
Senators Pullman BOrah of Opinion They Are Mere
 Scraps of Paper"
BY FRANK McNAUGHTON

United Press Staff Correspondent Washington, Dec. 8.-(UP).-Two of the most influential spokesmen on foreign relations in congress Senators Pittman, D., Nevada, and Borah, R, Idaho, chairman and dean, respe ctively, of the senate foreign relations committee-ex- pressed disbelief today in the value of Europe's new mo war" treaties. Other members of the committee shared their disbelief, notably Senator King, D., Utah who assailed German insincerity." Borah describ- ed the agreements as expressions of . day."
 Skeptical evaluation of the new agreements between France and Germany and between Great Brit ain and Germany to use pacific means for settlement of disputes be- tween those respective countries was based on previously broken treaties. The British agreement was signed at Munich in September; the Fran COL German agreement this week in Paris.
 Expression Of 8 Day
 "A treaty at this time seems to be but the expression of day." Borah said.
 Ethiopia was protected by treat ies and betrayed alike by the dem- ocracies and the dictators who were signers of the treaties. The same was true of Manchuria and the same was peculiarly true of Czecho- Slovakia.
 If it were only the dictators who disregarded the treaties that would be bad enough, but the so-called re- publics of Europe have joined in each instance in disregarding these | treaties.
 There is at present no way, no rules by which to judge the effect of 8 treaty in Europe, and therefore 1t would be idle to undertake to esti- mate the worth of treaty between Germany and France" .. Senator Pittman Speaks Pittman saw great difficulty" in arousing any optimism in this coun- try over the anti-war agreements. He was of. the opinion that the Franco German treaty "iS not stronger than the Kellogg -Briand pact" an agreement of the major world powers renouncng war as an instrument for national rolicy in set- ting disputes.
 "As far as the United States is concerned" Pittman said, "it can not afford to take a chance upon any bare statements that countries are going to abandon war.
 "In this period, signed statement is not taken as any more sacred than the most casual verbal assur- ances. Apparently they (treaties) are all made with so many mental reservations that they are frequent ly more deceptive than they are guarantees"
 Scraps of Paper King, expressing his opinions more candidly than either Borah or Pitt man, said that the anti-war pacts signed by Germany were scraps of paper-not worth the paper they are written on."
 Hitler cannot be trusted to keep his word," he said. "He is in league with Mussolini and Japan to destroy the democracies all over the world. This agreement with France is just temporary move of expedience on Hitler's part. He will strike when he thinks the moment is ripe"
 Senator Nye, R., North Dakota, author of the neutrality act, also saw little hope for peace in the pacts. His only comment was:
 "Why did they not just re-initial the Kellogg -Briand pact?"
