 Mir. Maitland arrived in the Bal- Sans from Berlin a few weeks pe. ere Hitler moved into Prague, got wind of the coming Swoop and was n Czechoslovakia when the Ger. mans took over. He learned in 1d- vance of Mussolini's descent upon Albania, chartered 6 private air. plane and was the sole British journalist in Albania when the Ital- ans landed on Good Friday, 1889.
 His life as a correspondent has been packed with dramatic per- sonal adventures. He was in War saw when the war broke out, and broadcast during that city's bom- bardment. He escaped to Rumania, thence to Turkey and a few months later Arlatolia was wrecked by the worst earthquake in years. Whole villages were swallowed up, moun- tains changed shape overnight, roads disappeared and rivers al- tered their courses. He saw law and order collapse in Rumania when the Iron Guard became the un- challenged power throughout the land. During a reign of terror against British subjects, he escaped to Greece, after a friend on the Rumanian general staff warned hiIu of the coming attack on that coun- try. He was the. first journalist to learn of the ultimatum - an houl after Premier Metaxas received 1t. On the Albanian front. he saw Greeks take machine-gun posts at the points of bayonets; he shared the soldiers privations, their food, and partook of their Shivering plight in the snowy mountains.
 Three times Alr. Maitland was caught in the German blitz. Twice, he escaped. The last time he was taken prisoner by the Italians and flown to Italy in an enemy bomb CT. After several weeks he was re- leased internationally, and man. aged to reach Lisbon and eventual ly New York.

Hollywood.-Lupe Velez rarely has any trouble with the Hays office. Some of her cavortings, costumes and comments before the camera would curl the whiskers of film cen- sorsship if any other actress were involved. But Lupes' exuberant com edy wins her a lot of latitude.
 It's anybody's guess, though, what will happen when Honolulu Lou" Is submitted for Purity Seal and Miss Velez is seen In @ sailors honky- -tonk taking of her pants. To be sure, they're merely sailor pants, and it's true that she is found to be wear ing d celophane hula skirt under them. But this still constitutes a strip tease and, combined with the dance that follows, may be regarded as more seductive than silly.
 MT. Leo Carillo's reaction is signi- flcant. After most of @ day spent in watching the preliminary strip and the Latinized version of a South Seas hip-slinging, he went home and to bed with a temperature of 104. Also on the set was @ paid audience of about 100 extras in naval uni- forms. There was some talk among them of marching to Colunbia'S s front office and handing back their checks in appreciation of the days entertainment.
 EASY TO LOOK AT
 Miss Velez, must say, looks fine. There are times when I think that If she would Squelch some of her wise- e-crackery and retard the tempo of her acting to the feline languor of Hedy Lamar, she could make half the screens glanor gals look like Edna May Oliver.
 But hlIpe is loopy, and she is just iflably content to remain unique. She does get kick out of initiating some of the slinky screen queens. Tn fact, she Tnimics Katie Hepburn and Mar lene Dietrich in this picture, and gets extra satisfaction from the lat ter burlesque because Legs Dietrich is working on the same lot, in "The Lady Is Willing" and has a dressing room across the hall from Miss Velez. Lupe will be seen in a Blue Angel" costume and will be heard singing e screwy medly of Falling in Love With You" and "See What the Boys in the Back Room Will Have" in a low, tuneleSs voice.
 IMITATIN' ADOLF
 IN Up to now 1t has been a great se- cret, but among the limitations that the peppery tamale will do in "Hon- olulu Lou" Is one of Adolf Hitler. She showed me some clips from the film.
 Lupe is e star, but sine consistently refuses to behave like one. When l went on the set I found her in Q heated argument with Director Charles Barton over whether she

would work that evening. He had some scenes that needed doing, but 1t was fight night at the Legion Stadium, and Miss Velez always goes. The unusual feature of this argu- ment was that Barton was saying that she had been working too hard and ought to go, and she was insist ing that she'd stay at the studio and do the night scenes.
 Her unStarlike behavior on the set is equally remarkable. When the assistant director goes to look for her to tell her they're ready for a scene, he may find her outside the stage, In the middle of a delighted group of technicians and extras, giving forth with her original story about the three polar bears, or the one about the little owl.
 When Miss Velez blows up in her lines, she reproacheS herself with an acrobatic kick that lands where kicks are supposed to land. No mat ter that she may be wearing a long evening gown, or that she has just mutted a serious dramatic scene; she kicks herself and storms: "Lupe, you are terr-r-rible! Lupe, you steee-e- -e-enkp
 I watched a brief shot in which, having been insulted by Jack Ray mond, she delivers couple of hay- making slaps. This was repeated three times before the director okayed 1t. Miss Velez, her fine rage forgotten, rushed back and showered the blushing actor with apologetic kisses.

In The Local TheGterS
STATE

Sergeant York" starring Gary Cooper comes to close at Warmers State theater tonight and if you haven't seen this great show to date plan to do so before the final performances this evening.
 Tomorrow the State uShers in another smash double hit show with the comedy drama, "New York Town, co-starring Fred MacNIur- ray, Mary Martin and Robert Pres ton.
 Unlike the hundreds of screen plays made about the Big City the three stars portray the lives of typical New Workers, not those of the penthouse set.
 They're ingratiating inhabitants of the huge melting pot. Fred Mac Murray plays the role of side walk photographer - one of those breezy young men who snaps your picture and then hands you sales talk to order some copies. Mary Martin, appearing in her first non- musical dramatic role, portrays Q small-town girl whom Fred rorlan- tically rescues from starvation and loneliness.
 The fun starts when Fred, con- vinced that his interest in Mary is governed purely by his brotherly instincts, paves the way for q TO- nance between Mary and Robert Preston, wealthy young bachelor.
 How Fred contriveS to break up his rivals romance and win the girl back for himself accounts for 8 hilarious climax which straight ems everything out.
 It's an unusually candid story of New Workers as they really are. No gangsters, nightclubs or fancy penthouses. Instead, just the heart- throb of the Big City it's glamor for those who make good = and those who don't, told as a gay comedy romance with Akim Tamil rolf, Lynne Overman and an ale star cast.
 Kisses for Breakfast, an effer- vescent comedy with novel, gay hearted twist Is the second big hit of the program and features Dennis Morgan, Jane Wyatt and Shirley Ross in the principal roles.

plenty that do = the Dunkirk evac- uation done as only goth Century Fox's Production Chief Daryl E. Zanuck can do it, with the cast of thousands performing realistic ally to provide the years top battle scene; the dog fights which were actually filmed by the R.AF. in action; a tense flight in a British bomber flying high over Germany; dive bombers attacking fleeing boats.
 Tyrone Power gives his finest per- formance as the bored Tank who is anxious to 90 into action. A brash, nippant young man, he again has the kind of role which demands and gets-superb acting. And Betty Grable in her first dramatic role, shows that she is tops as an actress. In addition to her dramatic scenes in which she excels, she sings and dances to two new hit tunes.
 The thrilling story follows the Tank pilot as he joins the R.AF. Bored by the instruction he must take and the discipline of the corps, he rebels and incurs the enmity of his commander. Losing the love of his dancing sweetheart, he sets the stage for the stirring, smashing climax high in the cloudE over Dun kirk.
 John Sutton, as Tyr0nes com n1ander and rival in love, Reginald Gardiner, as the pilot who can never get a girl friend, and Gladys Cooper, as a flyers mother, give excellent support.
 The new streamlned comedy hit, Niagara Falls" is the second big feature on this outstanding bill. Featuring Tom Brown, Marjorie Woodworth and Zasu Pitts, is one of the seasons funniest comedies.
 "Smilin' Through, filmed entirely in gorgeous color, and starring Jea- nette Mcdonald, the screens golden voiced queen of song, comes to Loew's Poli next week. Brian Aherne and Gene Raymond are featured.

matic sesting of Warnnw Bgosha milm. '.Bad Men of zEissouzis, open. ing tomorrow at the strand as tne headiiner of the giant weekend show.
 Those were the days when the returning soldiers found their homes and farms taken over hy skinfIint, fraudulent bankers Wl,o had taken advantage of the aver age persons ignorance of finance. It was they who were responsible for breeding the lawlessness which spawned the James brothers the Daltons and those bad men Of Mis- soufi, the Younger brothers.
 Dennis Morgan, wayne Mcrris and Arthur Kennedy are cast in tl1e roles of the Younger brothers, the most carefree, gun-toting trio to have blazed It's names in the adventurous history of the old West. Pert Jane Wynnan supplies the romance as the girl friend Of Arthur Kennedy who takes the part of Jim Younger.
 The Younger brothers return from the Civil War to find el1at their father had been Killed during an attempt to dispossess him by a banker, played by vic- tor Jory. They also find that this same action of taking over homes had been going on among all the neighboring farmers. Esnbittered, they set out upon career of bank and train robbing with the inten- ton Of reimbursing the farmers. Be- cause of this they became known as the Robin Hood bandits.
 So clever and 50 daring were their deeds that no sheriff or posse could bring them to bay. The sud- den and climatic end of their reign is the strangest story in all of the bullet-splashed saga of the West.

The thrilling story about Britain's flying fighters, "A Tank in the R.A.F." was shown last night at the Loew Poi theater to an enthusiastic audience that immediately acclaimed 1t hit. It Is a really outstanding film, with action dominating the well paced story. Star Tyrone Power is magnificent as the Tank; Betty Grable is grand as his American dancer sweetheart - 1t is Hollywood at It's best, a great picture.
