Saint Takes Over
To Be Shown Thursday

Telling a vivid story of a re-
sourceful super-crook's campaign
to save the reputation of a police
inspector in the l%atter's time OF
need, RKO Radios The Saint
Takes Over" which plays Thurs
day at the Bijou theatre, again

Barrie and Jonathan Hale to the

of the noted fiction figure, The
Saint.

Saints endeavors to get Fernack
out of a serious predicament.
Unable to account for $50, DOC
found in his private safe, Fernack
is dismissed from the force and
faces trial. The Saint, knowing
Fernack's integrity, decides to take
a hand in the affair, and he speedi-
ly finds that a ring of racetrack
sharpers planted the money to dis
grace the Inspector, who was get
ting uncomfortably hot on their
trail.

gram will include two serials,

legendary death-curse, said to have
been handed down by the ancient
Gods of Egypt, on all who attempt

LUM AND ABNER
MOVIE IS BILLED
dreaming Out Loud Opens
Four-Day Run At Royal
Theatre Monday

For ten years they have peer
known affectionately as those TWO
"old gentlemen" of Pine Ridge
Bv millions of fans they are vlsu-
allied as a pair of white-halred,
stopped old men. Yet Lum and
Abner are actually very young
men.
Both in their early thirties, Ches-
ter Ium) Lauck and Norris CAB
rer) Golf, who appear in their flrst
scheen roles as stars OF Dream
ing Out Loud" which comes to the
ROYAL tomorrow for a four day en-
gagement, are in private life ro-
bust and active youths.
Dicarding the mustache and
grey hair of "Lum," Chester Lauck
goes home after his days work to
activities that might be compared
to those of a college boy. In a
huge swimming pool he proves a
better than average swimmer. He
has taught his two daughters to
swim expertly. On the professional
tennis court that stretches across
the back of his lawn, Lauck finds
himself sometimes hard pressed to
compete with his wife at the stren-
uous game. Lauck is also an en-
thusiastic horse lover, and with
Don Ameche of the movies owns
one of the most famous and sue
cessful thoroughbred stables on the
West Coast.
Friends of Norris (Abner) Golf
have given him the nickname TUT
fy." They say he deserves it. He
is an expert fisherman and more
than orce has demonstrated his
ability 20 stay on the right side of
a bronco. He says he learned how
to take a bronco in his stride by
staying aboard a pitching launch
on Lake Michigan during a couple
of severe storms. Golf, too, likes
horses and owns several prize show
animals, among them two cham
ion walking horses from the fam
ed Tennessee line. He carries on a
constant rivalry with Lauck for
honors as a marksman, and each
of them proudly wears a badge de-
noting 100 consecutive clay pigeons
broken on the skeet range.

far as I heard them, had nothing

In the way of blood stirring songs.
1t appears to have paid good divi-
dends to have thrown countless ra-
dio trucks into the military opera
tions zone.
These broadcasts served twofold
purpose: To provide relief from
tedious monotony and to keep SOL
diers popped up with news of VIC
toriouS progress.
One day I stood at the largest pom
toon bridge constructed by German
engineers during this war, the bridge
spanning the Schelde River in Ant
werp. 1t was hot day. The troops
poured across this narrow bridge in
and endless stream. They showed
signs of wear, of forced marches,
of lack of sleep. About five min
utes later a radio truck took posi-
ton beside the first pontoon and a
snappy, jolly march blared forth
The effect on the troops was battling
to see. Everybody relaxed, every
body felt better, everybody began
whistling or singing.
Another impression I will never
forget is that of soldiers crowding
around radio trucks during news
broadcasts, sitting on top of them
or perching on the limbs of trees
overhanging them. The soldier at
the front thus was always abreast
of news reports. In addition he re-
ceived a daily paper entitled West
Front, which filled him in on de-
tails.
The soldiers good humor also was
kept alive by certain weekly broad
casts in which family news was fea-
tured. Thus Pvt. Fritz Mueller
heard on the radio, long before the
letter from home arrived, that his
wife had given birth to a strapping
son. Heinrich Schultz learned that
his aged parents celebrated their
golden wedding in perfect health.
Radio played an important part
in working on the minds of the
population in occupied areas. For
instance, our entry into capitulated
Paris was Immediately followed by
radio trucks which informed Paris
ians how certain French statesmen
had fled, how Churchill was trying
to discredit Petain
In Poland, Norway, Denmark,
Holland, Belgium, France, every
where, broadcasts in the language
of the country began subtly to win
the population over to the German
viewpoint.

correspondents, cameramen and
newsreel photographers the status

abled these newsmen to go to the
most dangerous positions with type

result Germany possesses an ar

BERLIN. - Two invisible divi-
sions," as one officer put it to me,
helped win Germanys war against
France.
They were the "Engelland Lied"
and the "Frankreich Lied" eng
land song and France song)-two
stirring tunes composed especially
for the western offensive.
The general in command of these
invisible divisions was Propaganda
Minister Goebbels, whose army"
further included daredevil camera
men, uniformed reporters whose
feats often won them Iron Crosses;
radio reporters who stood in the
thick of battle, and all modern
technical devices for influencing
public opinion.
AS an example of minute atten-
ton to details let me repeat what
my officer associate told me about
the France song.
''The song writer and composer
trusted with the writing of this
song" he said, merely furnished
the raw material. Thereafter seven
of us, including Goebbels, took
hand. We went over every line Of
the stirring text eXhorting our SOL

went over the musical score.

never could turn on the radio for
German news without hearing it.
AS soldiers clustered around the
radio cars they would join in the
chorus
There can be no doubt about the
psychological value of this song.
The same thing applies to the
"Engelland Lied" 1t began to form
part of the news broadcast rite even
before the France song. in fact right
after the conclusion of the Polish
campaign.
During the Polish operations, in
cidentally, the Pollen Lied" was
played with equal effect, just as a

ISTANBUL, July 8--RusSian Am
bassador Alexei Terentiev was re-
ported en- route to Moscow today
aboard the Black Sea steamer
Svanecia following one-hour con-
ference here with Franz Won Papen,
German Ambassador to Turkey.
Informed sources said the two
Ambassadors had discussed demands
which Russia is expected to make on
Turkey shortly.
In Turkish political circles, note
from Russia setting forth these de-
mands was expected some time after
Terentiev reaches Moscow.
Speculation concerned the posi-
bility Russia might ask for conces-
sions in the Dardanelles, fortified
straits guarding the entrance to the
Black sea or in the Kars region
of the Caucasus, which Russia lost
in the World War.
Foreign diplomats say they under
stand Germany, Italy and Russia
are working closely together in de-
Gliding what attitude should be taken
toward Turkey, which last fall
signed a mutual assistance pact
with Britain and France.
Many of these expressed belief
that Germany was fully supporting
Russian demands for an extension
of Russian interest in this area.
Diplomatic circles expressed be-
lief that Italy, although reluctant to
see Russia approach the Mediter-
ranean, would likewise have to sup
port Moscow.
