 New York, Oct. l5 Falls first new evening star has just risen over New York's famed night club sky line, Her name Is Aurora. All Americans = North and South - know of Aurora. They have been singing her praises for almost Q year, for 1t was she who inspired the hit Brazilian tune whose title bears her name. But 1t was not un- til her recent debut here at Monte Proser's Copacabana that North Americans have had a chance to hear her do the singing.
 Their verdict on this raven haired senorita from Cher billing reads) "the sultry, exotic, orchid- laden verdance of Brazil is: "Oh, oh, oh, oh, Aurora'
 Aurora's second name is as well known to North Americans as Is her first, It's Miranda. Yes, she's Carmen Miranda'S kid sister. You know 1t the moment you see her. Full-hgured, she has round face with Garments sparkling deep brown eyes and stubby nose. CMama has so beautiful a nose. Why Carmen and me we got papa's nose?'D
 THE FAMOUS"
 LIKE THE DIFFERENCE
 There the visual resemblance stops Aurora avoids any trace of the clothes of Baha which have become Garments trademark as assiduously as she refuses to use the name Miranda" She wants to stand on her own two feet and make her own name, just as she did in Brazil.
 Tn Brazil Miranda Is a very often name" Aurora announced. her expressive hands waving as she clutched for the correct Eng fish words. T am Aurora Mi- randa and people don't know am Garments sister. Like Carmen, only Carmen sings. When I begin, I sing the same songs like Carmen. But it's different. We are differ ent" The "Yanqu!s' who have tiVoAN nhAOAu oSSAh " 4AhS LIle Ull- ference.
 Aurora began singing five years ago in Brazil. Carmen didn't teach her. The whole family just sang naturally. (Two brothers and sister are not professional singers, however, Aurora used to 90 with Carmen when she broad cast twice week and listen. One day one of the other singers on the program forgot to show up. Aurora took her place. She's been busy ever since. She came to North America to visit Carmen few months ago and one thing led to another-and a job.
 1T am crazy about America. America and Brazil" She sighed with enthusiasm, made Brazil ian good luck fist, thumb sticking out between clenched first and sec- ond fingers. T don't think I'll ever see things more beautiful and bigger My great dream, 1t is to know New York. Every day>1 sec new things. Now I think I can die.

STRAND

Dive Bomber" Warner Bros. spectacular air drama, arrived at Warmers Strand theater yesterday and was enthusiastically greeted by capacity attendance at all per- fornances,
 Errol Flynn and Fred MacMur- ray head the cast of the thriller which has broken all attendance records from coast to coast,
 The super-pilotS who fly Urcle Sam,S superplanes, the dive bomb- CTS, are the heroes of this epic of the akyways, aud theirs is thrill a-second drama. The tremendously high altitude, the terrific rate Of speed at which they descend upon their targets makes diye-bombIng the most hazardous type of flying. The main theme of the story is the work being done by the flight sur- geons to lessen the physical hazards to the dive bomber pilots.
 Flynn is seen in the picture as cae of these flight surgeons who is out to overcome pilot fatigue, and develops a flying suit, similar to those used by deep-sea divers, to relieve the pressure of fight flying and dive bombing. MacMurray plays a seasoned pilot who at first scotfs at the work Flynn Is doing, put soon sees the importance Of 1t md eventually makes the test flight that proves It's worth.
 A better selection of stars for the two top roles cannot well be ima- Rined. Flynn performance combines the reckless daring which has made him such a wide favorlte with a depth and maturity that lends credence to his role of surgeon. MacMurray, natural as always, IS completely at home in his pilots garb and the hard-bitten cynicism of the seasoned flyer,
 Others in the cast include Alexis Smith, Ralph Bellamy, Robert Arm strong, Regis Toomey and Allen Jenkins.
 Penny Singleton, Arthur Lake and Larry SimmS are featured in the co-hit, Blonde in Society"
 Attractions coming soon to the Strand include Wild Geese Call ing" "Sun Valley Serenade," 'Dr, Jekyll and MT. Hyde "Aloma of the South Seas" Navy Blues 1" "When Ladies Meet" Lady Be Good" and among others, "Honky Tonk."

STATE

Something new in love-making even for Charles Boyer, arrived at Warmers State theater yesterday when Hold Back the Dawn" opened its engagement with Boyer, Olivia deHavilland and Paulette Goddard la the starring roles.
 According to the unanimous opin- ion of yesterdays audiences, the dark-eyed Gallic actor has the most exciting part of his career in this production.
 Orchids for fine performances are nothing new to the dark-eyed Boy CT. Critics state hi= work in this film should net him whole flor ist's shop, fixtures and all.
 AS George IScoveScu, a four-Star heel froE. the once-brightSpots 0f Europe where he fleeced wealthy women, he marries an unsuspectiag American girl, intentions strictly dishonorable. His Idea is simply to get across the border into the Unit sd States and, once by the immi- grafton gate, toss her over like a wormy apple and return to his easy living profession. Yet, for all It's .ense drama and swift adventurous pace, Hold Back the Dawn" is ,augh-filled and has many mo- mentS of hilarious comedy.
 Most of the action takes place in little Mexican border town, haven where European war refugees spend weary months and years waiting for their American visas.
 To say Hold Back the Dawn" IS different Is to put things mildly. In the female department the Misses de Hayilland and Goddard really do big things with their lush roles.
 Supporting the stars is an eX- ceptionally able cast, including Wal ter Abel, Curt BotS Rosemary De- Camp and little Billy Lee.
 The funniest of all the Aldrtch Family hits, Henry Aldrich for President" is the second big hit and introduces Jimmy Lydon as the new Henry Aldrich, June Pries- ser, Mary Anderson, Charles Smith and c host of other faVorites are included in the supporting cast.
 Don't forget this show positive ly ends Saturday evening and a complete change of program will be presented Sunday for your rn- joyment. International Squaa- ron" starring Ronald Reagan heads Sundays show while "The Smiling Ghost" with Wayne Morris, Bren- da Marshall and Alexis Smith, is the second big hit of the show.

 She shook the pen, smiled gaily and, prorouncing, aloud, wrote:

and to say that the attitude Of the

F. towards me and every official
@ct y have done since being a
of Congress has been SO
false and unfair that l have no
confidence whatever in the good
faith Of your offer to intervene
i'll some way in my case, which

vorable conclusion. I have taken
care of the expense of this suit,
and with the aid of my attorney,
Richard E. Westbrooks, the case
has been br ght to the Supreme
Court and, We think, ably handled.
We do not feel that we need any
outside aid at this point. We
surely do not want any aid from
any organization whose attitude
has been so unfair and false as

Il most respectfully decline to
permit any intervention in this
case by the National Association
for the Advancement Of Colored
People. What caused this offer
anyway? Are the officers Of this
organization nettled by the edi-
torial ROY WILKINS VERSUS

the st. Louis Argus, April 4th?
DO you know that my case is only
one Of ten thousand such cases,
many Of which should and ought
to be prosecuted? Why has the
N. "A. "A. g. P. waited more than
d quarter of a century to express
interest in this type Of case, when
there have been hundreds Of
thousands Of them every year,
and even the officers of this as
sociation have suffered the same
humiliation visited upon me? No,
do not believe your offer is made
in good faith, and 1 do not be-
lieve we need your help. | have
no confidence in the genuineness
Of the offer, and not a great deal
in the ability and concern of those
making the offer.
