BETTE DAVIS,
 ERR0L FLYNN
 ARE STARRED
Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex" on Sunday
 at 20th Century

.'The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex, the new Warner Bros. Technicolor production starring Bette Davis and Errol Flynn has it's first showing Sunday at the 20th Century Theatre, carrying to still greater heights their parade of new show season hits which has included such memorable films as The Old Maid Each Dawn l Die, ;" "On Your Toes"
 Bette Davis, of course, is cast as the self willed, vain and domineer- ing Queen Elizabeth, torn between her love of England and it's peo- pie and her overwhelming love for the handsome and dashing young Earl of Essex. Flynn as Essex has precisely the type Of role in which he has endeared himself to au- diences the world over--that of a handsome, swashbuckling hero, as victorious in love as he is in war. But his victory over Elizabeth is short lived in the film; for, loving him, she sends him to the execu- tioner's block, because she realizes that if England is to live, Essex must die. Played against the spec tacular background of the pomp and pageantry of the Elizabethian court, the love story is still the all-im- portant theme on which he film is focused.

Reuters said the British Ambas. :.
sador to Toxic, Sir. Robert Leslie

men throughJapanese Foreign Min
lister Yosuke Matsuoka.
Authoritative quarters in Lon
don, confirming reports of the
arrests, said it was expected the

The arrests were understood to
have occurred in five cities. Word
of the action followed the dis
closure that Melville James Cox.
Reuters correspondent in Toxic. had
been taken into custody for mill
tary reasons
First reports said nine British citi-
zens were arrested in the raids, but
the number later was increased
to IL.
Listed among those seized were:'
Capt. c. H. N. James, retired
naval officer and chief representa-
tive OF the British Federation of

Craigie already had called upon
Matsuoka in Tokyo and had received
his promise to expedite his investi-
cation.
Japanese authorities were reported
to be making an exhaustive investi-
cation of the backgrounds of the

The fact that Japanese news
papers were not allowed to carry
stories of the arrests increased spec>

the seizure and led to unconfirmed
