STATE

If you intend to see the smash double bill currently at the air conditioned State theater you'll have to hurry as performances tomorrow evening positively conclude its en- gagement. Headllning the bill is "The Bride Came c. O. D., co-star- ring James Cagney and Bette Davis while the second big hit is "rhe Nurses Secret" with Lee Patrick and Regis Toomey.
 When @ great cast, great story and great director are assembled for motion picture, it's inevitable that theatergoerS are in for & treat. That treat will be forthcoming for To- calitieS when the technicolor film version of the famous novel by liar. old Bell Wright, "The Shepherd of the Hills" arrives at the State on Saturday for four day engage ment, with John Wayne, Betty Field and Harry Carey in starring roles.
 As most people know, even If they haven't read the book, the story of "The Shepherd of the Hills" has heen read by millions of people, and has become what can fairly be called classic in American fiction. Literally millions of Harold Bell Wright fans must have been won- dering when this great story would be transferred to the screen. Who will be Young Matt, who Sammy Lane, who Old Matt, they must have wondered. Who will be The shep- herd?
 John Wayne takes the part of Young Matt, and Q splendid por- trayal of the hot-blooded, reckless character this handsome, young over-six footer is reported to give; Betty Field is seen as Sammy Lane the half-wild, lovable little noun tain girl who could fight and love with the ferocity of a wildcat; Harry Carey, that veteran of a hundred perfect screen characterizations, is The Shepherd himself, and Old Matt will be seen enacted by James Bar- ton famous as the Jeeter Lester of the Broadway stage play, "To- bacco Road"
 Other major characters in the story are acted out by a brilliant featured cast including Beulah Bondi, Marjorie Main, Samuel S. Kinds and Marc Lawrence.
 The second big hit to be enjoyed in air conditioned comfort is "They Met in Argentina" a delightful screen musical that teens with ro- nance, adventure, and high excite- ment under the pampas moon. The

STRAND

Crammed with audience eYiter- tainment values, the new comedy "In the Navy" starring Bud Abbott, Lou Costello and Dick Powell opened at Warmers Strand theater this aft ernoon for an engagement of four days.
 According to audience reaction "1n the Navy" will probably go down in cinematic history as one of the laugh hits of this generation. High lighted by brilliant performances and adorned with new songs, the of- fering promises to surpasS in box office attendance even the record- breaking figures piled up by Buck PrivateS."
 Heading the big cast playing in support of the three stars are the Andrews Sisters-Patty, Maxene and LaVerne; Claire Dodd, Dick Foran, Butch and Buddy and Shemp How ard. Deserving special mention are those sensational opponents of the dance, the celebrated Condos Broth CTS.
 Several new numbers were writ ten especially for the new hit and are sung by Dick Powell, the An drews Sisters, Butch and Buddy, Dick Foran and Abbott and Cos tello and huge choral ensembles. Two of the major musical moments are backgrounded against the An- drews' rendition of "Gimmie Some Skin" and Hula BaLuau.' both of which follow the currently popular boogie-woogie trend.

there sums of money drawn from
the indemnity France has to pay
for the upkeep of the German forces
of occupation that such an enlarge
ment of Germany's means OF action
cannot be dismissed as merely ad-
miniStrative routine in relation to
the normal enforcement OF the
armiStice.
The Nazi government intends to
avail itself of strategical positions
in Morocco to improve Germany's
prospects in the battle of the At
lantic. All the effort required in
Madrid at this very moment to in
volve the Spanish government in
the war throws indirect light on
its undertakings in Morocco. Vichy
learned last winter that Adolf Hit
Ter had compelled Premier MuSSolini
to agree to the exclusion of Morocco
from the areas where, once VIC
tory has been won, Italy expects
to piece together an empire of her
own. Italy's empire will be strictly
Mediterranean and Morocco has
been termed by Hitler an Atlantic
country"
Laval Was Ready to Yield.
From those details it may be in
ferred that the Germans are en-
deavoring once more with all their
might to entangle Vichy in a far
reaching policy of cooperation. Last
November and December, Pierre
Laval, notwithstanding all denials,
was ready to place naval and air
bases at the disposal of the Nazi
victor on the theory that France
had no chance to escape unrestricted
bondage unless she reused herself
actively to contribute to the creation
of Germanys new order"
The commitments M. Laval had
made were disclosed to Marshal
Petain by Capt. Fonck, the famous
air fighter of the first World War,
who, while in Berlin, heard of them
from friends of Marshal Hermann
Goering. 1t now turns out that
Admiral Darlan, if left to himself,
evinces propensity to follow in the
footsteps of his predecessor.
The German-controlled press in
France again mentions Laval as the
man best qualified to get relatively
favorable peace terms for probably
no other purpose than intimidating
Marshal Petain and compelling Ad-
miral Darlan to toe the line. In
the long run, the issue of the strug-
gle in Libya and in Egypt which
rightly overshadows everything oc-
curing in the Balkans, may turn
the scale in Vichy.

fruitful. Two important sets OF
facts are being quoted In support
of that view.
About a fortnight ago, the Brit
ish government, was informed that
the French 26,000-ton battleship
Dunkerque was about to be trans
ferred from Mers-el-Kebir, near
Oran, tc Toulon. The Dunkerque
was severely damaged by British
gunfire last July 3. Since then 1t
has been under repair in MerS-el-
Kebir, but the work which remains
to be done is beyond the capacity
of the local navy yards, so the
facilities of Frances main arsenal,
on the other side of the Medlter-
ranean. must be used.
1t will be understood why Prime
Minister Winston Churchill, in the
House of Commons recently, warned
the Vichy government against re-
turning to home ports "half-de-
molished battleships" in African
waters. While London was asking
Washington for help, an American
representative in Vichy directed
Marshal Henri Philippe Petrain's
attention to the serious steps that
would be taken by the British were
the Dunkerque to sail.
Order Cancelled BY Petain.
Admiral Francois Darlan was on
a tour of inspection in Marseille
and Toulon. Marshal Petain pro-
fessed complete ignorance of the
decision arrived at by Admiral
Darlan and he Cancelled the order
to sail. For the time being, the
Dunkerque will not be moved from
Mers-el-Kebir. The apprehensions
of the British Admiralty are only too
intelligible to any one who keep in
mind that not one French vessel,
warship or merchantmen, is allowed
to put to sea unless the approval of
the German authorities has been
obtained previously.
The other development to which
competent circles pay great heed,
concerns French Morocco. The
German Commission of ArmiStice
which has been active there for
weeks, was augmented recently.
According to the government of
Vichy, which not long ago had to
answer a pointed question put
through diplomatic channels, the
commission consisted originally of
81 persons including some Is officers.
Now its staff has been extended to
include 130 new members. Here
again, the figures we're supplied
from official sources.
