Most Important
Picture Billed AT The

When a movie is acclaimed by

When that same movie is after
wards super-charged by the add,
ton of breath-taking sequences
from the notorious Nazi propaganda
film, Baptism of Fire, it becomes
an event of unique Importance to
American moviSgoers.
The movie is 1.-The Ramparts We

length picture to be produced by
the editors of Time and Life and
the March of Time.
An absolutely new kind of pic
ture, "The Ramparts We Watch
was inspired by the disastrous trend
of world events. R~ecreating t h G
story of America in the great crisis
of World War 1, it also was designed
to reveal the forces of aggression
which were plunging the world
once more into war.
To do this, the producers decided
to make use of the Nazi terror film,
Baptism of Fire" which showed
more wildly than anything else the
danger faced by the free peoples of
the world. Already it has been used
to demoralize Norway, the Low
Countries, Roumania, and France.

GREAT PROFILE

John Barrymore Picture Fea-
lures Bill At Royal On
Wednesday

Fortified with an almost mex
haustible supply Of humorous antics,
John Barrymore stars with his re-
pertoire of bowling histrionics in
"The Great Profile" The picture,
which comes Wednesday to the
Royal theatre, is a hilarious crea-
ton ke..ed to catch the madcap Bar
rymore at his best. From the open
ing scene, it's funny!
When Daryl F. Zanuck, renown-
ed producer, decided to film 1.-THE
Great Profile" the comedy about a
great actor beset by complications Of
all kinds, the ebullient and versa
tile John Barrymore was considered
a natural" for the role-and a hap
by piece Of casting it was.
Always a master of repartee and
lightning fast with the "quip'', Bar
rymore has been widely acclaimed as
the champion among adlibbers.
Theatre-goers who have been curious
to hear the famous Barrymore ad
lib and mirth-provoking remarks will
have that opportunity in "T h e
Great Profile, for the script was
made, flexible enough to include
many of his sparkling aphorisms.
Not content with having secured
the brilliant Barrymore for the title
role, Zanuck further enhanced the
picture with lavish settings and pick
ed an impressive cast which has won
much favorable comment at ad-
vance showings.
Mary Beth Hughes, blonde and
beautiful young player, heads the

great lrofile's nagging wife she is
said to be a veritable bombshell.

Theatre Monday
The Bumsteads are coming!

The Bumsteads are coming!
Still as hilariously funny and
warmly human as they were in
their past five hits, they're due
here again tomorrow at the Royal
theatre in "Blondie has Servant
Trouble" All Of them, Dagwood,
Blonde, Baby Dumping and Daisy
are seen in this latest film based
on Chic Young's famous comic
strip.
Like its predecessors, Blonde
has Servant Trouble" finds tn e
Bumsteads facing another appar-
ent dilemma. Blonde wants a
maid to help her with household
chores. The only way they could
afford a maid would be for Dag
wood to get a raise. For Dagwood
to get a raise he must convince
gruff old Mr.. Others, his boss,
that his value to the real estate
firm has increased.
OF course, Haywood plu1loels
his way to success. How this is
done makes up the most delightful
story that the Bumsteads have yet
brought to life on the screen. Their
delirious adventures pile up in rip
roaring fashion to a comical eli
max of which only they are cap
able of reaching.
With Penny Singleton again to
be seen as the beautiful Blonde
and Arthur Lake her happy-but-
harassed husband, the other Bum
stead family players also contrib
ute what have been called brilliant
performances. Larry Simms re-
turns as argumentative Baby
Dumping and Daisy, the canine
hero, contributes his share of act
;ng in approved mongrel fashion. l
