One Must Smile.
He arrives in Paris alone and
broke, this lad with a smile and no
conscience, and in no time at all
there's chorus girl in the room
down the hall and his pockets are
lined with gold. He tricks the thea

eases himself into the business, smil-
ing with those nice white teeth and
knitting people in the back with rare
and practically gay abandon on his
rise to the top.
There would be dire things in
store for the lad in Hollywood film,
but not in this one, for the French
have no code Of cinema morals to
tell them Wrongdoers must pay the
price. The only one who suffers in

theater owner. who loses his theater
to the trickster and then goes broke
when he tfies to run a liver pill

Gallo Farce

Chevalier
Stars in Impudent

By HARRY MACARTHUR.

Maurice Chevalier comes back to
us now in a Hght-hearted little
French trifle which is an apt vehicle
for his impudent talents. And it
is fine to see those talents at work
again Gf you can call his sauciness
work.. with a Smile" the new
picture at the Belasco, is of course
no triumph of the French cinema
art. but it has spicy Gallo flavor,
tasty with the wicked and witty
sparkle peculiar to French films and
rich with tingling satire.
1t probably would take a French
man named Louis Verneuil from
whose play With a Smile" was
adapted to conceive this Partisan
counterpart of George Abbott
farce. The theory of it all is that
honesty is the best policy-for some
one else. The chap played by NJ
Chevaher (Who sings with all his
old fervor and effervescence) is as
conniving rapscallion and as pleas

'Ballerina' Looks Real
TOOne Local Mother

"Ballerina," first movie to capture
the behind-the-scenes drama Of the
fascinating world Of ballet, has won
the hearts Of Warrington thea
tergoers just as it won Broadway.
But there is one Washiongtonian-
Nine. Suzanne Laurentz of 1928 New
Hampshire avenue N.W.-to whom
it is a personal and unforgettable
experience. Her daughter, Mile.
Mona Dimidova, now popular Con-
tinental ballet dancer, was once one
of the "les petits rats" Just like the
ambitious little French National
Opera Ballet students whose ex-
periences are related in "Ballerina." !"
1T is no exaggeration. The work
and the jealousy and the determi-
nation OF the les petite rats as
shown in 'Ballerina,' II anything, is
greater in real life," Nine. Laurent
insists. II know. I watched my
daughter go through 1t.
"How many times have heard
young dancers crying, oh, my feet,
my feet!' How many times have I
seen them unwrap bleeding, bruised
little toes! 1t is true, the claim
that two hours of strenuous classic
dancing is the equivalent Of eight
hours work of a pick and shovel
laborer."
Nine. Laurent came to Washing
ton when little Mona was S years
old. From the moment Mona be-
gan to study here under Lisa Gardi-
ner, she progressed steadily. And
when she was II, just the age to
enter the French National Opera
School, Nine. Laurent and Mona
bundled themselves of to Paris to
win Mona's way into the French Ma
tional Opera School.

ina" Nine. Laurent explains, is un.

Mile. Dimidova, who changed her
last name when she fulfilled her

accepted for the European section
Of the Monte Carlo Ballet Russo,
began her career away from the Ma

though she has toured throughout

In addition to appearing in BAL

BASIS FOR DEFENSE
SET, JOHNSON SAYS

Charlottesville, Va, July 5.-(AP)
Assistant Secretary of War Louis
Johnson said last night the United
States had laid the basis for, and to
a considerable extent already exc
cuted, a defense program to repel
any threat to the western hemis-
phere from Point Barrow to TERRA
Del Fuegro.
Johnson, speaking before the Uni
versity of Virginia's Institute of
Public Affairs, said national defense
for America means winning a war
and at the same time 'preserving the
fabric of Democratic government set
up by the constitution"
General George V. Strong, assist
ant chief of staff, war plans division
of the war department, declared 1--WE
must be prepared to defend the west
ern hemisphere against aggression
successfully or simultaneously from
Europe and Asia, in summarizing
''the national defense problem as il
appears at present..
Commander Leland P. Lovette, in
charge of public relations for the
United States navy, said 'the COM
bined use of diplomacy, naval paWer
and land power attain the ends and
the preservation Of national policy
both in peace and war"

May Destroy
Cotton Excess

College Station. Raleigh, July S.
North Carolina farmers who have
unknoWingly overplanted their cot
ton acreage will be given one week
to dispose Of the excess after they
receive official notice of their 1899
acreage, it was announced today by
E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive officer
Of State College. Compliance sup
erviSors are now at work in the
counties measuring acreage planted
to each crop and comparing it with
allotments.
Floyd said that whenever it is de-
termined that there is an acreage of
cotton on a farm in excess Of the
allotment, careful check is inaugu-
rated. First, a different rotometer
operator than the one who originally
computed the acreage is assigned to
the farm. If an excess still is found
another supervisor is sent to the
farm to check the acreage, and to
determine from the grower where
the mistake, if any, was made Then
a formal notice is sent to the farmer
and he has one week from the date
he receives the notice to destroy the
excess cotton.
The State College AAA head
quarters has advised all county Of
ficerS to be sure that farms are
measured before cotton bo1ls are ma
ture, so that notices may be mailed
promptly to every overplanted farm.
I'm any case," Floyd said, "where
the county committee finds that pro-
ducer made an effort 10 stay within
his acreage allotment, but an excess
acreage of cotton was planted be-
cause of lack of knowledge of the
acreage in the fields, the producers
on such farms will be considered as
having disposed of the excess acre
age prior to the stage Of growth at
which bolls are first formed, if such
disposition is made within one week
after notice of the amount of excess
cotton acreage is mailed to, or made
available to, the operator of the
farm"

BIG GOLD RESERVE
ASSEMBLED IN u. S.

New York, July 5.-(AP)-A huge
potential 'war chest" of gold has &C
cumulated in the United States and
Canada for the account of England
and other foreign countries, mostly
since the crisis last summer leading
to the Munich pact.
From informed banking sources it
was learned today approximately
$3.50, 100000 was added in June to the
fast-mounting foreign-oWned gold
store, making a record total Of about
S1,225, 100000 held here under Gear
mark"
This is gold set aside in special ac-
counts and does not enter into the
figures for the nations monetary sup
ply las reported by the United States
treasury.
Much, if not the bulk of the Gear
marked gold, is regarded in bank
ing circles as reserve buying power
which could be used for purchase of
war supplies in this country, provid-
ing neutrality laws permit.
The ban on credits to foreign ma
tons in default of debts owing this
country, it was pointed out, makes
gold reserves here more important
as the road to purchase of war sup
plies than during the last war, when
the allies were able to get credits
Nearly half the total has been
placed under earmark this year. The
shift of gold here by England and
Holland particularly, appears to have
increased with the rise of prepara-
tons for war by the British and the
increasing threat of showdown be-
tween the anti-Hitler front and the
Berlin-Rome combination.
In addition to the metal sent to
New York, more than $3O0,00O,0O0
was reported in banking circles to
have been placed in reserve under
earmark in Canada, mainly for Eng
land, making a total of about ST.
5OO,OOO,OOO in North America.
