Morgan Gets Stares
As Hair Grows Iona

For the first time in his
career, Frank Morgan claims
he can sympathize with the
young male stars such as Clark
Gable, Robert Taylor and Gary
Cooper who have had to appear
in public with long hair which
they have been growing for
pictures. Morgan. preferring not
to wear a wig as the Wizard in
''The Wizard of o." is going
without haircutS and his blonde
locks now hang to the back of
his neck and curl up like the
late william Jennings Bryan's
once did. He says it's decidedly
embarrassing" to have folks
turn, gawk and litter and to
have his studio friends give him

FULL OF GOOD CHEER
If you have never read "A
Christmas Carol" perhaps your
enjoyment of the picture will be
keener. For it recreates, with
marked fidelity to the book, the
story of the Skinflint Scrooge,
whose reformation was accom-
plished by the simple process OF
revealing that there is more in
this world than the accumula-
ton of wealth.
Through the medium Of a
troubled dream, Scrooge Greg
inald Owen contacts the spir-
its of the Past, Present and Flu
ture, discovers where he has
failed as a humanitarian, re-
covers on Christmas morning, to
find happiness for himself in
the joy of giving.
For such a happy blend of
fact and fantasy, Metro-Gold-
wyn-Mayer has assembled a fine
cast. There is little Terry Kill
burn as Tiny Tim, Gene and
Kathleen LockhartS as the
Cratchits, Barry Mackay and

BEAUTIFUL PHOTOGRAPHY
Done in color, with practically
all action taking place against
n natural scenic backgrounds,
Heart Of the North" is a Royal
Canadian Mounted Police story,
with action speaking louder than
dialogue and bullets speaking
louder than both.
Dick Foran, recently seen in a
p. a. behind the incandescent
trough at the Earle, is the star
Mountie of the film, getting his
man and girl before the seventh
reel rolls around. He does it in
best William Farnum and Milton
Stills tradition, too.
Before the dramatic katharSis
takes place, a Yukon river-boat
has been robbed, a dam blasted,
an airplane stolen, a lynching
averted, a battle fought on the
brink of a cliff, a few assorted
characters killed, and a dozen or
more folk wrongfully suspected
of murder. ..
Best feature of the film is the
splen d d photography. Some
panoramic shots of the North
woods are particularly enchant-
ing. Technicolor goes with the
scenery like scotch goes with
soda, like white tie with tails,
and like Carlo goes with Stok-
owSki.
Gloria Dickson, Gale Page,
Allen Jenkins, Patrick Knowles,
Janet Chapman, James Stephen
son, Anthony Averill. Joseph
Sawyer and Joseph King are the
other stalwarts who manage to
keep the pace stepped up.
On the stage, they have Dor
rowed the Gang Busters" COM
pany from the airlanes to sat-
isfy these fans who like to know
what goes on behind the radio
mike. The answer, apparently,
is-a lot of shootin'.
RADIO ACT HEADLINES
The group plays a complete
radio script through and the
audience is shown the various
ways the sound effects are pro-
duced, the methods used in tim
ing the playet, and the manner
used in creating atmosphere for
the diverse episodes.
AS a novelty act, and as a
treat for those who have never
been inside a studio, "Gang Bus
tiers" is a solid piece of enter
tainment. It gets the nod over
the Mountie film by virtue Of
several well-directed bullets,
winning this years Smith &
Wesson trophy hands down.
Remainder of the bill features
Grace Drysdale, who does won
ders with some dancing marion
cites and then reveals the tech
nical details of the wonders;
Milton Douglas, factotum of
ceremonies, who tells stories
about the fellow he met on the
way to the theater; Stump b

Henlein Czech Nazis' Eueluer
As Bearer of Hitler's PROGRAM,
Younger Than Leader,
He Sprar,g to Notice
More Rapidly.
BY SONIA TOMARA,


NEW YORK, May 7.-Europe Is
watching Konrad Henlein, leader of
the Nazis in Czechoslovakia. He is
commonly known as the Adolf Hitler
of Czechoslovakia." The Sudeten Ger
mans call him fuehrer.
Since the annexation of Austria by
Germany, Herr Henlein has come out
openly as the bearer Of Hitler's ideas
in Czechoslovakia. He had given the
Prague government an ultimatum, de-
manding not only autonomy for the
German minority. but also a change
in Czechoslovakia's foreign policy,
which means abandonment Of the
Czech alliances with France and Rus
Sia
Herr Heinlein only few years ago
was an obscure instructor in gymnas-
tics. He has sprung to notice much
faster than his teacher and supporter,
Hitler. He Is much younger than the
chancellor, having been born in May,
1898. His native town was Reichnau,
near the northern frontier Of the Aus
trian empire.
Little is known of his familys origin
except that 1t was of German stock
and settled in Bohemia in 1915. AL
though only II years old, Herr Hen
lein joined the Austrian Army as q
volunteer. On the front he proved
brave and intelligent and his leaders
sent him to officers courses. In 1918,
during the Italian offensive, he was
wounded on the Trentino front and
captured by the Italians.
After the armistice and the creation
of the Czechoslovak state. Herr Hen
lein found himself. in minority DOM
mated by the Czechs, who now had be-
come the masters. Many German off,
cials were being replaced by Czechs,
whose language was the main language
OF the country. Herr Henlein's edu-
cation had been interrupted by the
war. AS so many other Germans he
felt bitterly the hardship of defeat.
He tried to work as clerk in a
bank, but this did not please him. In
1925 he became teacher of GYM
nastics at Asch, a town on the west
ern point of Czechoslovakia sur
rounded on three sides by German
territory. OF medium size, short
sighted. but Of an athletic build, he

Nine girls Of the junior class Of

Organized "Turnverein."
Soon his name became known in
athletic clubs of the German minority.
He was invited to 60 from town to
town to organize the German Turn
verband" (union of athletes) which
under his leadership was made into q
rival of Czech "sokols." Hitler's doc
trine of the "Fuehrerprinzip" had
come to Herr Henlein's knowledge, and
he adopted it to discipline his athletes.
He nodded them, in fact, into storm
troopers similar to Hitler's S. A.
(Sturmabteilung).
Hitler heard Of him and urged him
to give gymnasts a political and Pan
Germanic slogan. He was impressed
by the references in "Meinkampf"
to superiority Of the Germans over the
Czechs. In October, 1888, he seized
a happy opportunity: The Czech
government had dissolved the German
Nazi' and Nationalist parties. He
gathered them together and formed
the Sudeten Deutsche Partei. leader
of which he is today.
In the elections of 1895, his party
won a striking success, getting A
seats In the chamber and becoming
the second party in number. Herr
Henlein himself refused to enter Par
lament, and for this reason the Czech
government pretended to ignore him
as political leader. At that time
he pretended to support democracy
and to be a loyal subject to the
| Czechoslovak state. He wrote to this
effect to President Thomas Masaryk.
In his propaganda booklets he said
in 1895:
"Fascism and German Nazi-ism
cannot be imported into Czechoslo-
vakia."
Changed His Mind.
Several visits to Berlin and con-
versations with Gen. Wilhelm Her
mann Goering and other Nazi officials
made him change his mind Perhaps
the poverty among the Sudeten Ger
mans and the conviction that the
Czech government would not grant
them voluntarily better status stim-
ulated his pro-Nazi feeling. In Octo-
Der, 1887, after a fight between Sude-
ten Germans and Czech police at

Berlin's sentiments and that his aim
Is "Anschluss' Of Sudeten Germans

The Czech government prohibits
the Sudeten party from using the

wearing Nazi uniforms. Its members
like to wear breeches ard boots, like
