WOOD AND LOVE PROVIDE THEME
 IN NEW PICTURE
2Oth Century Now Showing Moon Over Burma"
 with Dorothy Lamour


 Take a good-looking gal from Brooklyn and put her to singing in cafe in Rangoon, and a couple of likely American lads who are in the teak logging business up in the Burmese hills, and let 'em meet at the cafe. Mix well with good dialogue, snappy situations new songs, fine direction and you have: Moon Over Burma" the Paramount comedy-romance now playing at the 20th Century Thea tre with Dorothy Lamour at the girl, and Robert Preston and Pres ton Foster as the lads.
 The lads start things moving nicely at the cafe when they both fall in love with Miss Lamour. new short hair-do and all, after hear ing her sing. Eventually she winds up at the compound where they op- crate their teak business.
 Further development of the story hinges on the fact that the boys went down to Rangoon to borrow enough money to keep their busi- ness going. The man from whom they borrowed the money wants their business, too; and he sets an operative to work to slow down the output of teak.
 But the real fun and romance comes in because the money lend- CTS daughter, played by Doris Mo- Ian, loves Foster. He loves Lamour and she loves him. Miss Nolan, jealous, tells Robert Preston, who also loves Lamour. That makes for lots of fun before it is determined who will win who. On top of all that there are log jam and fo.- est fire for excitement.
 Albert Basserman is in good form in a supporting role and Louis King directed with a nice feeling for the fast pace required.

 Eighteen years ago the idea that tantalized the Westropps took con- crete form. Miss Lillian had grad uated with top honors from Cleve- land Law School 8 good many years before women had suffrage, when female lawyers were an eighth wonder. And Miss Clara had had some business experience.

 Pooling their. talents, they started the present concern. Business men turned up their noses, but the Wes- troops went ahead attending to their business. Miss Lillian looked after the legal matters, Miss Clara went after business for the company.

 Make no mistake about the power of Hitler" he warned. Tn the first attack against the north of France he used about 500 low-flying bom- bers, against which there is yet nc adequate defense.
 'These powerful weapons of war required four men each, or total of 2,000 men. He used about 1000 heavy tanks, each with crew of 12
 "A total of 14,000 men alone equipped with machines and a knowledge of their use, captured a nation and put into stockades 2,OO0,- 900 soldier prisoners who never knew what it was all about. Hitler's 100000 foot soldiers stood about with nothing to do.'
 1 Cites Sabotage Incidents
 Long before this actual occupa- ton took place, however, Hitler had brought about the downfall cf France through undermining mill tary preparation, Wood declared. | Speaking from his own eyewitness discoveries and other facts checked by his own engineering knowledge, Wood said:
 Just why did France fall SC swiftly?
 We found many machine gun belts which contained cartridges stuffed with cotton. Failure of the explosion caused the gun to jam.
 Tn a number of instances, we examined charges placed under bridges. All we found in the sacks of charge was sawdust and sand.
 "At one point in Northern France near the Belgian border, the troops abandoned 200 American made planes. No effort was made to de- stroy them.
 Trucks Left Intact
 Nearby, in another field, was a battery of 800 Renault trucks, their tanks filled with gasoline. German soldiers walked up, climbed abroad and drove these trucks away with out any difficulty.
 Just before I returned to the United States from France, the chief engineer of a liner told me at Balboa, Spain, that his ship had been engaged in landing American war supplies at Le Havre. From time to time when the ship would return to Le Havre, the same sup plies would be piled up on the docks in an endless mountain of boxes.
 "The captain of the liner asked the French officer in charge what was wrong. The latter shrugged his shoulders and walked away with out replying.
