already been "shot" in England.

"Folies Bergere" as presented in
old Paris, is announced by the
Michigan Theater for next Satur-
day, November 29.-All seats will
be reserved for this show which,
in addition to a stage revue pre-
scnting 60 people in 20 glittering
scenes, will offer "Sneak" pre-

MANY ACTS

Acts TO be featured in the show
include hilarious Cass Daley, the
all American Screwball; Little
Freddy and his funny football
dogs; Gene Sheldon. the dead-pan
star Of the singing strings; thrills
with Lalage in aerial and ring
novelties that are breath-taking
Lucienne and Ashour. dancers: the
Ratoucheff Midgets from the orig
inal Chauvre Soiris, and many
others.
For sentimental reasons the
Folies Bergere company has de-
cided to present the show for a
performance as Paris
saw ii before the 'blitZ.'
On the screen with "FolieS" will
be Claudette Colbert, Ray Milland
and Brian Aherne in "Skylark, "
one of Paramounts top flight
films Of the year. taken from the
stage show. and the Saturday Eve
ming Post serial.

COLBERT is FAN

Latest example, and one which
should prove both amusing and
interesting is the fan worship
which Claudette Colbert has had
for Gertrude Lawrence. Actually
they are not at all alike. Miss
Lawrence, a creature of whims
and mistress of the light touch,
changes with the wind and her
airy handling of some roles. only
amounts to froth.
Miss Colbert is also a light COM
edlenne, but she is much less
evaSive much more direct in how
she tackles any line be it comedy
or tragic. This directneSS is evil
denced in the way she made up
her mind after seeing Miss Law
renee "Skylark" She did every
thing but buy up the screen rights
and sit on her contract refusing TO
bulge unless Paramount let her
do il.

SOUGHT CORNELL TITLE

Norma Sheafer has long sought
for the title of the Katharine
Cornell of the Screen" and TO that
point has worked TO translate
every successful Cornell role 10
the screen with "BarrettS of VIM
pole Street" and Romeo And
Juliet" as the principal examples.
Ida Lupino's admiration for
Flora Robson led to her taking her
role in the sinister cinema OF
Ladies in Retirement"
Ina Claire. Lynn Fontanne and
Pauline Lord. all have, at various
times. stirred up such feelings of
desire under the sound stages that
Hollywood stars have cried for
their roles.
OF course, IL is a platitude that
actors and actresses are notably
poor judges of what roles they can
best enact and many a big star
has slipped just because he or she
has insisted on doing their own
plain and fancy picking.
Film stars are, however, likely
to be insured against this peril by
the New York or road success
prior TO the purchase of the film
rights.

Democracy VS..
FaSCiSm
Democracy versus Fascism.

Democracy versus Fascism.
Words that gather together the
titanic struggle raging throughout
the world. The battle lines have
been drawn in Europe, in the At
lantic and in Africa. On every
side democracy today seeks to
defend itself against the onslaught
of dynamic fascism.
AS America gives every aid to
the embattled democracy of Eng
land, it is our duty to make every
effort to understand the funda-
mental issues at stake. Nowhere
have we seen it more brilliantly
and cSncisely stated than in ''The
Issue Before the American PeO-
pIe," a speech delivered by Archi-
bald MacLeish last October.
Speaking at a time when all
freedom-loving people were prey
to doubts and worries, MacLeish
said, 1.-THE actual issue is an issue
which puts the vitality of demo
cratic faith over against the fan
atical destructiveness of fascism,
1t is an issue which presents the
question whether or not democ-
racy is still fighting faith this
nation can defend"
"The real ISSUE" MacLeish be-
lieves, sis an issue between the
frenzy on the one side Of herd
ed, whipped up crowd-begotten
cause, and on the other side the
single mans belief in liberty of
mind and spirit, and his willing
