MYSTERY-COMEDY MARKS

A new mystery-comedy with a
challenging. title, and a brilliant
cast, lived up to all expectations

Wendy Barrie and John Hubbard
were thoroughly delightful in the
leading roles of the crisp young
moderns who do not believe muir

The suave Mona Barrie and the

Grade A suspects, as do Onslow
Stevens, Milton Parsons, and even
the scatterbrained canine, Joyce
Compton. But only the unfortunate
Aunt Maggie herself lplayed force

knows the identity of her assailant
until the close of the final gripping
reel.
The story, scripted by Stuart
Palmer, was based on a widely
popularized mystery novel by Me-

The flames of the feud, in the
picture, burst high when Benny

The senator's statement was an

at the capitol which seemed to in
dictate that an early development
in the new congress might be a
major debate over american
policy and the wal.
In the last 10 days, there have
been successive suggestions from
Senators Tydings (D-Md), Vanden'

that the United States explore the
possibilities of g egotiated peace
in Europe. VIII ,~r, in addition,

He merely repeated this state

To another inquiry as to whether

say because he had not completed

Popular elections express the

from the excuses of the rule OF

Liberty cannot be conserved by

regardless of race or creed, SO
that, along with our differences OF
view, political and religious, we
have a deep and abiding sense OF
human dignity and worth and
hence of Dull capacity for friendly
cooperation in pursuit of common
ideals Of justice.
"Rancor and bigotry, racial ami
mosities and intolerance, are Who'll

of true democracy, more danger
Gus then any external force be-
cause they undermine the very

was equal in intensity to some of the
heaviest attacks on London.
1t vas the first sign of bombing
London had seen after three strange.
ly quiet nights.
There were casualties - it is not
permitted to say how many. Some
persons were killed and injured
when a public shelter vas hit. One
woman, pinned under a gas stove
with fire burning around her, joked
for two hours with the rescue squad
that finally got her out. She died a
few minutes later.
Reports of damage came in from
several areas after the crash of
bombs and the thunder of the anti
aircraft had died down.
A London hospital housing 700
patients was damaged by two high
explosive bombs which fell nearby,
but no one was hurt.
A building housing an American
firm was shaken, windows were
broken and there was considerable
damage of a minor nature. (This
may have been the Associated Press
building, previously damaged by a
bomb. There were no casualties
here.
Through it all Londoners carried
on, buses ran, trains clanked and
puffed into stations and main thor
oughfares were completely de-
serted.
While the raid lasted, planes were
coming almost continuously over one
southeast town, headed for London,
and others - presumably British
raiders-were heard flying toward
the continent.
For nearly two hours at the height
of the raid, there was scarcely a mo

city's outskirts. At times they SEEM

rent year, and easily the largest
since World war days. If the treas
ury pays SIT, 600, 600, 900 in the fis-
cal year beginning next July l, it
will be the highest in American
history with the single exception
of the last year of the World war,
when $18, 522, 1895, 900 was expended.
Officials indicated that the bud
get was large enough SO that no
substantial changes would be need
ed to take care of the Presidents
proposal to lease war material to
Great Britain. These sources indi-
Gated that the principal expendi-
lures on behalf of Great Britain
in the next fiscal year would be in
construction of factories and other
facilities for the production of war
material. This construction had
been tentatively budgeted as
American cost even before tn e
President preached his lease
lending" plan.
Since. the ''lease-lending" p a
has not been approved by congress
yet, no estimates of it's cost could
be in the budget tables anyway,
officials added, since laws define
what can and what cannot be in
the budget. The President, how
ever, may discuss the British aid
question in the message which will
accompany the budget.
The indicated figure of $7,000,-
900, 900 for non-military spending
in the next fiscal year is nearly
the same as recent estimates of
such costs this fiscal year. Treas
ury Secretary Morgenthau recent
ly submitted to a congressional
committee estimates showing that
this years costs would be $5,000,-
600, 600 for defense and $1,000, 000,-
600 for other items. :. 4

one of the screens most versatile
actors, "Hullabaloo," new comedy
of backstage radio life, is schedul-
ed to open at the Carolina theatre
Saturday for an engagement OF
three days. During the space of
but a few months, Morgan has
ranged the gamut in screen char
acterizations from the starkest OF
tragedy to comedy. In "Hullaba-
loo" he outdoes himself in the lat
ter field, appearing not only as
himself, but doing limitations Ut
some of the popular screen great
as well. "Hullabaloo" tells the
story of an ex-vaudevillian, por-
trayed by Morgan, who attempts
to keep the wolf from the door by
landing himself a radio job. This
he accomplishes, but brings disas-
ter upon a city when he omits the
commercials from his program
and throws the countryside into
terror. The %notoriety he gets be-
cause of this escapade brings his
three ex-wives, played by Billie
Burke. Sara Haden and Connie
Gilchrist, down upon his head, all
seeking back alimony. How he es-
capes his fate and lands himself
