Reds Score Victory At Oesel;
Shah OF Iran Quits Throne

With the first touch of winter
weather, fighting continued at a
high pitch between the Russian
and German forces this week.
Nazi southern armies claimed
last night to be sweeping east
ward from the lower Dnieper riv-
er over broad and hard-won
bridgeheads toward the Nogaisk
steppe and by these accounts it
appeared that grand offensive
to isolate the Crimean Peninsu-
la from the Russian mainland
was we'll under way. Berlin laid
claim to general successes all the
way from Leningrad - where it
was said that Soviet bunkers and
blockhouses were being slowly
and bloodily reduced-clear down
to the Black Sea.
Russians claimed Furnishing de-
feat of German mechanical col
umns before Leningrad, defeat of
German tank division further
to the north; also claimed Soviet
and aerial forces smashed a total
of 10 German vessels, seven of
them ladened with troops.
Axis warplanes were declared
by the British to have bombed
Cairo, which like Mecca to the
Moslem world has the aspect Of
holiness that Rome has for Catho-
lies, killing 80 persons ano
wounding SO. The British, in
statement from the Prime Minis
ter's residence in London on las
April Is, had warned that il
either Athens or Cairo was
bombed, Rome would be bombed
in reprisal.
British and Russians, impatien
with what they called the stallin&
tactics of Reza Sha Pahlavi in no
meeting their demands for putting
an end to Axis intrigues and in
fluence in his country sent troops
to occupy the Iranian capital O.
Teheran. The Shah abdicated II

In the death of Rev. Harvey
Lewis, of Ashland, this commu

months suffering from an attack
of paralysis the Grim Reaper

Red Gross Film
Will Be Shown

"Marching With Old Glory"
new one-reel movie offered by the
American Red Cross, is scheduled
to play the Parkway theatre next
Tuesday along with the featured
screen attraction.
This memorable patriotic prod
uction shows graphically how the
Red Cross acts as friend and coun-
selor to the men in the army and
navy. And, because it reveals the
many other humanitarian aspects
of Red Cross work, it gives the
answer to those who are asking
how they can best serve their
country.
Larry P. Coward, who is chair
man of the Ashe chapter Of the
Red Cross, recommends this
movie to the general public.

M The Local TheGte1:S
POL.l'S

Delighted throngs yesterday greeted "Maisie" on her screen ap- pearance at the Loew-Poli theater, and Ann Sothern, cast in the title role of "Ringside Maisie," certainly wins the award as the favorite fe- male comedy star of the screen.
 Tn this film Maisie starts going the rounds with a prize fighter and his manager, who is real hard. boiled, the manager being George Murphy, the entertainment banners fly high, and they will until Mon- day night which will witness the final showings of the film.
 All of the adventures of the popu- lar chorus girl from Brooklyn seem only to build up for this, the fast est-moving and funniest of the lot. Miss Sothern has never been af- forded better lines and situations and she makes the most of every one of them. Her jitterbug number is something that the new as well as the old Malsie fans will not for- get.
 A strong supporting cast is seen in support of the star in this film, which tells the story of Maisie's experiences, when she enters the household of young fighter and his manager. Cast as the manager Is George Murhpy, the boxer is Robert Sterling, two great cOrned- ians, "Slapsie" Maxie Rosenblooln and Rags" Ragland, also are fea- tured and then there is Virginia O'Brien, the swing singer with the frozen" pan, to complete the cast.
 All of the other episodes in the life of Maisie can now be rated as preliminaries, in the language of the ring, bubt here Is the cham- pionship bout 1t is 8 knockout of a gal in 8 knockout comedy and don't have your. friends tell you after 1t has left how good it was be on hand before Monday night, when the last performances will be staged.
 On the same program, at the re. quest of many patrons of the Loew- Poli theater, there will be presented one of the popular creepy, mystery thrillers, the title of this one being Horror Island" and after seeing 1t you will be sure that there are more pleasant spots to spend your time.
 Jack Benny, in "Charley's Aunt" will be seen starting next Friday.

 The bathroom is a major prob lem on week lends unless your hostess is lucky enought to be able to present you with your very own. Use 1t considerately-alSo the things in it. Treat your host- ess' towels as you would your own. Cream your face in your room put your makeup on there also. MINIMUM OF MAKEUP
 DURING THE DAY
 There's really no need for more than 8 mere suggestion of cosri1et- ics during the day. Tennis and swim- ming call for outdoorsy faces. But 1t never hurts to keep your hand in in the evenings. No matter what the doting males tell you about lik. ing you without makeup, give them chance to see you at your best when the moon rides high.
 Beauty doesn't "just come natu- ral" to anyone. Glamor gals put ln as many experimental hours of "try out" work as the humblest stenographer. Do that essential ground work at home.

 If you follow all these rules, your week -end will be a success-and, what's more, I guarante a return engagement.

STRAND

Ending this evening at Warmers Strand Theater Is Robert Taylor in the technicolor thriller Billy the Kid" with 8 big supporting cast headed by Brian Donlevy; also Ned Sparks, Ted North and Marjorie Weaver in For Beauty's Sake"
 Contrary to reports, no laughing gas will be loosed in this city to- morrow. True, the populace will be in near mysteries, but the reason is irgole. Those n1adcap Marx Brothers, Groucho, Chico and Harpo, will be on the loose again for three days on the screen of the Strand theater.
 This time they're private detec- tives running wild in department store, the setting for most of their new picture.
 "The Big Store" is a musical riot of fun, with no less than five song numbers interspread with the usual Marxian hilarity. Tony Martin, two songs, including the spectacu- playing the romantic lead, sings lar tenement Symuhpony." During this number Harpo and Chico are seen at their favorite instruments the harp and piano. and forty pece band of youngsters combines with a twenty -four boy chair to lend accompaniment.
 If you think previous Marx pic- lures reached 6 maximum of fun, wait until you see what Groucho. Chico and Harpo do with forty-six youngsters of ell nationalities in a room full of the strangest folding wall beds ever concocted. And if you survive that see what happens when the Mars,es don roller skates to elude the klHer in the goofiest chase sequence ever filmed.
 Adding to the entertainment of "The Big store" are beautiful Vir- ginia Grey. as the romantic lead opposite Tony Martin: Margaret Dumont, Virginia 0'Brien, the frozsn.faced swing singer, and such tried and true stars as Doug. las Dumbriiie. Marion Martin and Henry Arnetta.
