Adolf Hitler was reported
today to desire to achieve a
settlement of the Danzig prob
lem before the yearly congress
of the Nazi party at Nurem-
berg Sept. 2.
Nazi quarters at Berlin seemed
convinced Great Britain would
facilitate a solution. perhaps as
part of some general European
settlement.
Well informed Berlin sources

solution Of the Danzig issue was
agreed upon at weekend confer
ences. In which Hitler and the Ger
man and Italian foreign ministers
took part.
But il was said also that II was
agreed Germany and Italy would
stand firmly together. and that
the military position of the axis
powers was favorable for show

would be later.

Peaceful reunion of Danzig with
Germany would be calculated, IN
the general Berlin view. TO en-
nance German prestige enormous

clusion Of southeastern European
countries in the Nazi economic and
cultural orbit
Nazis refer not 10 political
domination in that area but to
benevolent cooperation, by which
the countries concerned would send
their products to Germany and
draw German products and culture.

Bing Crosby's Latest Pic
ture Opens Today as
Twin Bill Feature

Amusement seekers who are look
ing for grand, tuneful motion pic
ture entertainment will not have to
look further than Warmers State
theater where, 1.-THE Star Maker, "
Bing rosby's new film opens its en-
gagement this afternoon.
Filled with fun and song and
hailed as the greatest musical of all
time 1.-THE Star Maker" boasts a
truly great cast. It includes, be-
sides Bing, such notables as Louise
Campbell in the feminine romantic
lead; Linda Ware, youthful singing
sensation; Ned Sparks, master Of
the dead pan and sour puss extra
ordinary; Walter Damrosch with
the Philharmonic Orchestra Of Los
Angeles and last but not least 100
of the worlds most talented young
SterS.
Never, In the opinion Of critics,
has Bing been seen in such great
role in such a great story. Never
has he had such a grand support
ing cast, and songs, both new and
old, to sing.
Taking those points in order, 1t
must be noted Immediately that the
story of the picture was suggested
by the amazing career of Gus Ed
wards, that song-writing Snowman
who helped make SO many great
stars. Bing, of course, plays the title
role in the picture, a dreamy, pen
niless song writer and loafer, who
conceiveS the idea of making stars
of boys and girls from the sidewalks
of old New York who can sing and
dance. And Bmg plays the role to
the hilt, singing as he has never
sung before, acting with just the
right amount of restraint, and even
INDUCING in dancing for the first
time!
He is in his grandest form sing
ing such Gus Edwards favorites as
School Days." I'm My Merry Olds-
mobile" Jimmy Valentine and a
host of others. In addition Bling
sings four new songs, among them
are IAN Apple for the Teacher and
"A Man and His Dreams. OF course,
Linda Ware sings many numbers,
both popular classical, some to
the accompaniment of the Phil
harmonic Orchestra of Los Angeles
with Walter Damrosch conducting.
Her voice and personality mark her
as a great entertainer.
An entertaining combination of
mirth-provoking quips and spine
tingling quivers will be the keynote
of the second big treat, Death of
a Champion. In this film "Oliver

her time between scenes sobbing

Sensational New Discov=
cry, Brenda Joyce, Gives
Splendid Performance

A magnificent production 1.-The
Rains Came" the great Louis Brom-
field novel, opens at the Loew Poll
this afternoon for four day run.
Starred at the head of q dazzling
cast are Myrna 10y, Tyrone Power
and George Brent.
Rarely has famous book, which
has been read and enjoyed by mil
lions, been transferred to the screen
with such devoted fidelity, such un-
sparing care and cost! The result
gloriously justifies the effort. Here
is great film!
Myrna 10y, looking more en-
chanting than ever, breaks with the
perfect wife" tradition to play the
amorous Lady Esketh and she is
superb. Tyrone Power is grand as
the handsome, high-caste Hindu
surgeon, Major Rama Safti, the first
real love Of Lady Esketh's romance
strewn life; and George Brent gives
a splendid account of himself as the
world-weary Tom Ransome.
The colorful setting of Bromfield's
mythical city of Ranchipur, India,
is realistically reproduced and the
awesome catastrophes that high
light the NOVELETTE, earthquake. the
flood, the fire and the plague-are
all reproduced with breath taking
effect. Indeed, in the opinion of
this reviewer, there has never been
anything in film history to match
the spectacle scenes in 1.-THE Rains
Came"
A sensational new discovery,
Brenda Joyce, scores heavily in the
role Of young Fern Simon, whose
love gives Ransome a new lease on
life, and splendid performances are
also turned In by Nigel Bruce as
Lord Esketh, Maria Ouspenskaya as
the Maharani, Joseph Schildkraut as
