HOLLYWOOD.

Hollywood. since its earliest days,
has known that in union there is
not only strength, but boXoffice.
Since the time of Francis x.
Bushman and Beverley Bane, there
has been series of teams whose
cinematic adventures have proven of
great interest to the ticket-buying
public.
Wallace Reid and Gloria Swanson
formed a great romantic team. So
did John Gilbert and Greta Garbo,
and Rod La ROGUE and Wilma
Banky, who carried their screen ro-
nance right to real altar.
Possibly first of the comedy teams
was that Of Harold Lloyd and Bebe
Daniels, who appeared in a number
of pictures together. Wallace Beery
and the late Marie Dressler were
another favorite combination.
Hope Goddard Teamed
Teams still go right along today.
William Powell and Myrna 10y fur
nish annual entertainment in their
Thin Man" series. Paramont
united Bob Hope and Paulette God
dard in The Cat and the Canary"
and found the public so pleased
with the whole thing that the two
were cast right back again in The
Ghost Breakers and they're sched-
uled for more chills and thrills. The
new film finds them galloping
through haunted castle on an
island near Cuba.
Arthur Lake and Penny Singleton
have provided comedy in the
Blonde series. In the straight
dramatic and romantic line, Fred
MacMurray and Madeleine Carroll
have proven an effective attraction.
Fred doesn't appear with Madeleine
in "Safari,' North West Mounted
Police or Virginia. her three lat
est efforts, but they are scheduled
to be joined together soon
Married Couple United.
Dick Powell and Joan Blondell
appeared together several times
while they were at Warner Bro
thers, and eventually married. Then
Paramount reunited them in Il
Want Divorce"-which has moth
ing to do with their private lives.
Don Ameche and Alice Faye are
a popular combination, and have
toiled together in numerous films,
although Ameche has broken away
now and again to work with Clau-
dette Colbert and Loretta Young.
Dorothy Lamour and Robert Pres
ton formed a team for "Typhoon,"
and they'll doubtless make more
South Sea pictures together.

Mate a Citizen

there was one scene he didn't photo

Mate had to be present in the Fed

him part of one morning On
Mates return to the set he was
presented with a cake on which was
an American flag. Mate was born
in Poland, spent his childhood in
Hungary and was educated in Paris.

All Is Forgiven

While the Marx Bros. were on
the road for four weeks doing Go
West" on the stage, Billy Marx,
Harpo's 3-year-old son, wondered
where his daddy was. Even after
the stars got home they went into
a local week to stretch their total
tryouts to l03 performances. Harpo
was gone from home from early
morning until midnight. Billy was
taken to the final matinee by his
mother and he sat enchanted until
Harpo made his appearance, where
upon he piped loudly: Hello daddy,
Please come home" 1t was the
biggest laugh of the whole tour.

At The Roxy!

AT 4 ne hOIy.
A new bill came to the screen
at the Roxy theater yesterday to
bring another of the Doctor Kildare
stories and most unusual film
titled Beyond Tomorrow
The Kildare story again pre-
sents those familiar faces which
have been associated with the series
since the start Lionel Barry
more, Lew Ayres and a number
of others.
do not recall off hand
whether or not LARAMIE Day
has appeared In other Kildare
productions, but she is in this
one most emphatically. The
yarn this time is titled "Doc-
tor kildare's Strange Case"
and ii is perhaps one of the
best of the series.
AS has been the case in the past,
Lionel Barrymore adds the mas
ter's touch which makes all these
productions considerably better
than the average motion picture.
Miss Day and Lew Ayres give
excellent performances. and those
who enjoy this type of film story
will endorse the newest of the Kill
dare pictures.
The companion film, Beyond
Tomorrow" is as entertaining as
it is unusual, and the cast is hand
picked for the difficult portrayals
which bring the story to the screen.
Charles Winnigar, Richard
Carlson, Maria Ouspenskaya,
Jean Parker, Helen Vinson, C.
Aubrey Smith and Harry Carey
play lead roles in this screen
novel which concerns this world
and the next the here and
the hereafter.
You may not agree with the
authors viewpoint but you will
probably consider the production
entertaining, and the work of the
cast most commendable.

Is it that they excelled ~ soldier or

moral courage and spiritual strength.
They were reverent men, they shaped
their lives by the ideals given to man
kind by Jesus Christ. They believed that
God rules in the affairs of men and that
the enrichment Of life Is found in those
more secret places where man stands
alone before his God. They were human
and they had their frailties. but they
learned through success and defeat to be
humble and obedient to the will of God

felt this and they yielded to them, despite
their own judgment.

is an old saying, II you must use q
hammer, build~with It, The Amert-
can Youth Congress has never real
lied the truth of this or attempted
to give 1t a try"
Stern words are these, but they are
echoed by individual students, one
of whom quotes the axiom: If you
aren't radical by the time you are
twenty-five, you haven't head, and
If you do not lose your radical ideas
after that, you haven't a BRAIN"
1t would seem to follow that the
American Youth Congress is a useful
organization in quite another way
than its sponsors may have intended.
If 1t is generating a reaction against
revolutionary concepts of reform,
alien to the American way of life, it
deserves encouragement. Good some
times arises from evil. For example,
the alliance between Hitler and Sta
lin has taught the world. old and
young alike, to comprehend the psy-
Geological relation between Nazi
doctrines and Communism. Again,
the Russian assault upon Finland
has educated the peoples of other
countries to healthy skepticism
concerning MARKHAM objectives. The
American Youth Congress, perhaps,
has challenged conservative, rational
and patriotic young Americans to
support their own ideals with in
creased zeal and enthusiasm. If so,
all is well and everybody should be
happy.

Peace in China

Japan's latest military and diplo-
matte moves suggest willingness to
call it quits in the campaign against
the Nationalist government at Chung
king and to accept the area now
occupied as the basis for the regime
of Wang Ching-wei, chosen by the
Japanese to complete establishment
of the new order in Asia"
Early this week it was announced
that a Chinese army supporting
Wang had landed on the Fukien
coast, with Japanese naval assist
ance, and was fighting its way along
the southern coast of that province
toward Swatow. This was followed
by the proclamation of the Japanese
South China army, addressed to Gen.
Chang Kai-shek, urging him to lay
down his arms because Japan now
possessed enough territory for her
new order" and declaring that the
offensive now is Chiang's. Subse-
quently the Japanese admitted that
their armies were withdrawing in
both North and South China, avowed-
ly to prepared bases. ....
Japan's apparent policy of holding
present positions without pressing
more deeply into the Chinese hinter-
land is a retreat from her avowed
purpose of crushing the Nationalist
government, a feat which now ap-
pears virtually impossible for a num-
ber of reasons. Foremost. of course
is the tenacity with which Chang
and the Chinese people, whereve,
they are outside the range of Japa-
nese guns, have adhered to their
cause Of resistance to Japan's DOM
ination. In this they have received
