The RAINS CAME"
TO SHOW HIRE
Myrna 10y, Tyrone Power
And George Brent Stars
AT Bijou Monday

The power of one of today's great
novels finds it's full scope on the
screen in Daryl F. Zanuck's pro
duction of "The Rains Came" the
sensationally successful best-seller
by Louis Bromfield, which opens
Monday at the Bijou theatre, with
Myrna 10y, Tyrone Power ana
George Brent sharing stellar honors'
These fascinating strangely-as'
sorted humans, cut off from the
world in the ~colorful mythical city
of Ranchipur, India, with all re-
straint swept away, as the angry
forces of nature made life a fading
hope and love a desperate longing
are brought wildly to life in this
goth Century-Fox film. Faithful IN
mood and detail to the book, 1.-The
Rains Came" preserves all of Brom-
fields characters.
Myrna 10y breaks with the "per-
feet wife" tradition to play the am
orous Lady Edwina Esketh; Tyrone
Power has his most romantic role
as the high-caste Hindu surgeon,
Major Rama safti, who proves the
one great love of Lady Esketh's
life; and George Brent is seen as
the worldly Tom Ransome, a ghost
out of the lady's romance-streWn
past.
Brenda Joyce, discovered by star
maker Zanuck as the climax of a
nationwide search, heads a brilliant
supporting cast in the role of Fern
Simon, the fresh, young beauty
whose love gives the world-Weary
Ransome a new lease on life.
Others who bring Bromfield's col
orful characters to life are Nigel
Bruce as Lord Esketh; Maria Gus
penskaya as the Maharani; Joseph
Schildkraut as Mr.. B~annerjee; Mary
Nash as Miss MacDaid; Jane Oar
well as Aunt Phoebe Smiley; Mar
iorie Rambeau as Mrs. Simon; Hen
nv Travers as Rev. Homer Smiley

Aherne, a famous surgeon who be-
comes interested in the nurse when
her keen observation saves him from
losing a patient on the operating
table.
When the nurse is involved in a
bus accident, she again comes to
the attention of the doctor, for she

ards of American labor to that of
Europe. BY bargaining collectively
within the Pan-American economy
we will be able to maintain and raise
our standard of living and that of
all American countries, at the same
time dealing with Europe to our
advantage.
Stamp Plan Suggested.
every effort should be made by
the Pan-American Trading Coun-
Gil through normal channels and
through some such device as the
stamp plan, which has worked so
effectively in the United States, to
stimulate the rise in the standard
of living in all American countries.
This is not only highly desirable. but
quite practical, as a measure of in
ternal defense to prevent the forma-
ton of disaffected groups of people.
while we need important prod
ucts which can be grown in South
American countries, those countries
also need some of our products that
they are not now getting. For eX-
ample, in 1887 one South American
country was paying $3.50 a bushel
for corn grown on its domestically
protected farms, at a time when
United States corn was being sold
under subsidy to Europe at Is cents
bushel. Similarly, a South Amer
ican country was paying 81 a bushel
for wheat when we Wpre selling IL
for less than ST a bushel."
The development of the American
plan, Dr. Beard writes, will provide
an opportunity for the United States
to prove that Lord Bryce, the Eng
lishman, was wrong in implying that
democracies are incapable of de-
veloping foreign policies.

items In the construction Of 4 car
is the steering arrangement.
Must Steer Easily.
"The car must steer easily and
properly to be fitted to race" the
Derby director said. 80 before you
turn your car in for inspection be
sure that 1t is all right"
Another important item is the
total cost of the car. Under the
rules no car may cost more than
$40. A good idea, Mr.. Hamilton
suggested, would be for each boy
to prepare a short itemized state
ment of the cost of each part of his
car to present If the inspector
should ask any questions.

Mr.. Hester is expected to be sue

A resolution to permit him to take

Mr.. Hester, who is to enter private

Improvement of transportation and

DR.. Beard stressed the dangers to
the United States and its political
and social system in world with
Europe controlled by National So
cialist Germany. He writes:
1T is obvious that if no measures
of protection, other than military
preparedness, are taken in the
United States, this country would be
almost Immediately rendered help
less by the disruptive effects OF
Europe's centrally controlled foreign
trade.
Economic Union Needed.
"It is obviously necessary to build
an economic union, guaranteeing
complete protection not only to our
own territory but to all the free ma
tions with which we may be as
sociated for defense against the die
tatorships. Across this wall of pro-
lection, it is clear. no private trade
nor opportunity for bribery nor eco
nomlc pressure can be permitted to
pass. 1t appears certain that the
establishment and maintenance of
an effective barrier against the eco
nomic weapons of Germany will in
volve certain drastic changes.
The United States should act
promptly to expand its present
sources of supply of strategic raw
materials in the Western Hemi-
sphere and to establish the produc-
ton in Latin America of the many
essential materials which can be
produced here but which we now
import from remote areas in Asia
and Africa. We know now, from
our experience of the past 20 years
that international politics, so long
as relationships exist, are merely
a form of war. Under these condi-
tions we cannot afford to neglect
our own defense under the illusion
that we are at peace"
The Western Hemisphere can sup
ply the United States with all its
essential needs, the manifesto says
advocating a policy of complete CO.
operation with the Americas in a
manner that will make any program
the 81 nations joint enterprise.
Exchange in Hemisphere.
''In order to build up prosperous
American economy" DR.. Beard
urged, sit will be necessary to plan
for the exchange within this hemis-
phere of goods which will increase
the standards of living of the Latin
American countries as well as those
of Canada and the United States.
1--WE must arrange for collective
bargaining by the countries of the
Western Hemisphere in dealing with
the totalitarian systems as no indi-
vidual American country, dealing
alone, would be a match for the
totalitarian powers in the field of
international trade. If the United
States attempted to outbid Europe
