Frencn official communiques
we're most reserved But reports
from Luxembourg and switzsr-
land. north ard south OF the active
frunt. Indicated the French had
made considerable advances IN an
operation. which seemed only In its
opening phase.
NOT CRACK TROOPS
A. many as 600 tanks were used
In one operation alone among sew
eral on the front, at the northeast
corner Of France, according to re-
ports.
II was said further that the
French were not using the crack
troops In the MAginot line. but had
sent newly-mobllixed resers1sts
asslns, the Germans.
The northeast corner area Was
selected, II Was believed. because
the frontier At that point is not
marked by a river. and the French
troops and tanks were able To ad-
vance through wooded hills directly
onto the German advance lines.
Luxembourg, Just TO the north
west OF the Saar area. reported
that heavy fighting was in prog
ress In the region Of Saar-
bruecken, chief city OF rich coal
mining and industrial area lying
between Moselle and Rhine rivers.
IL seemed TO be indicated that
the present French activity might
increase progressively. There were
reports that whole civilian popu-
lstions had been evacuated from
towns. including Strasbourg and
Metz, on the French side OF the
active zone.
FRENCH PEOPLE TOLD
Propaganda Minister Girsudoux.
announcing by radio 10 the French
people that British troops were
arriving, said:
You were told yesterday the
military reasons why 1t Is impos-
sible TO give you precise informa-
ton now on British troops in
France. 1t would naturally be
dangerous to indicate to the enemy
the number Of these troops and
their debarkstion points. But ii
is necessary for you to know that
Britons are arriving and will be
alongside our troops"
The front all the way be-
tween the Rhine and Moselle,
. distance of 80 miles, Was
reported active today.
1t was indicated French heavy
artillery in the Maginot line was
pounding the German "West Wall"
to discourage any counter-attscks
and permit consolidation Of posi-
tons which the shock troops had
gained.

HOLIDAY" IS
AT CAPITOL
FOR TONIGHT

Katharine Hepburn, co-starred
with Cary Grant, comes to the Capt.
tel Theatre tonight only, being spon-
scred by the Pioneers Auxiliary. Co
lumbia screen version of the Philip
Barry stage success. George Cukor
directed the film, from a screen
adaptation by Donald Ogden Stew
art and Sidney Buchanan. In the
cast supporting the stars are Ed
ward Everett Horton, Binnie Barnes
Doris Nolan, Lew Ayers. Jean Dixon
and Henry Kolker.
Holiday" is the story of young
debutante, stifled by wealth and
family position, confused by the
crowded and meaningless activity
of a socialite's life, who falls in love
with young man with a sense of
humor and sense of proportion
He thinks there is more to life than
the accommodating of money for the
sake of accommodating money, and
he intends to continue his career no
longer than he has to- He wants to
retire while he is young and can
still enjoy life.
Miss Nolan is seen as another
member of the wealthy Seton fam
lily. Her gods are family position
and a fat bank account, and she has
no desire to abandon them for love-
Lew Ayes is the inebriate younger
brother of Miss Hepburn and Miss
Nolan, boy who finds alcohol a
pleasant substitute for the pleasure
life should have given him but
didn't. Henry Kolker is the compla-
cent father.
