 CAPITOL SCREEN
"Lddy S1drfd1e Shares Bill Here with "Hono-
 lulu Lu" Tonight

How an ambitious girl photo grapher gets involved in the dan gerous pursuit of desperate fe- male gangster, is the stirring story of Lady Scarface." Dennis O'Keefe, Judith Anderson and Frances Neal, top the cast. The picture is show ing at the Capitol on a double bill.
 Following a big Chicago robbery and murder by Slade, the female Dillinger, and her ruthless hench- men, young police officer is as- signed to track down the gang. The trail leads him to New York.
 Hula with a Spanish accent!
 That's the way Lupe Valez de- scribes her own original version of the undulating South Seas dance she performs in Columbia's "Hono- lulu Lu," boisterous new comedy at the Capitol Theatre.
 Although the Latin beauty has performed many Mexican dances on the screen, this marks her first attempt with the langourous rhy- thms of the tropics. Leo Carrillo and Bruce Bennett share top hon. OTIS in Honolulu Luz with tenn pestuous Miss Valez. The actress introduces two original songs, That's the Kind of Work I Do, and Honolulu Lu,' both composed by Sammy Calm and Saul Chap lin.

In recent years O'Brien operated

delphia Jack O'Brien.
One of the most colorful charac-
tiers in ring history, O'Brien believed
to his death that no other light
heavyweight ever surpassed him in
ability since the Marquis Of Queens

He gave only one other 175-pounder
credit for being even his rival
Tommy Loughran, his Philadelphia
pal" who later became light
heavyweight champion and retired
undefeated.
OBrien's greatest fight, q ring
classic, was his first fight with the

|On Africa Caught
| Axis By Surprise

American Short-Wave broadcaStS,
announcing the opening of the
offensive in North Africa, caught
the Axis so much by surprise Sat-
urday night that the enemy was not
prepared to Jam our transmissions
effectively, the Office of War In
formation said in a press announce
ment today.
The Owl statement gave a COM
prehensive review of the greatest
radio propaganda barrage attempted
yet by the short-wave stations of
this country. Many details of this
campaign were first revealed in a
story in The Star on Tuesday.
The Owl went on the air in New
York at 1857 pm. Saturday in
preparation for the announcement
of the action in Africa. In Is
second spot announcements in Eng
lish, French, German, italian, Span
ish and Portuguese, foreign listeners
were advised to:
Stand by for an important an
nouncement from the United States
of America"
Then, on three short-wave net
works beamed toward Europe and
Africa, the Owl poured forth the
recorded speech by President Roose-
welt, the announcement from the
White House concerning the action,
the Army communique covering the
offensive, the statement by 1t. Gen.
Dwight Eisenhower and other Off
cial announcements.
Reception condtions-which for
some weeks had been bad-were
good at the time. Axis transmitters
were caught so much by surprise
that they did not increase their
tanning activities to meet owns
increased transmissions, it was said.
Since that time the story of our
detectives and activities in North
Africa have been poured out to the
world in % languages on transmits
sions beamed to every corner of the
earth.

NEW YORK, Nov. ia re-
port reached the Associated
Press today from a reliable Euro
pean source that Pierre Laval
carried terms for an immediate
German-French peace settle
ment when he flew back to Vichy
yesterday from his three-day
meeting with Adolf Hitler at
Munich.
The informant. who may not be
identified, said the report originated
in sources which, while -diplo-
matte, had close Vichy connections.
Acceptance Unlikely.
The reported terms. which lacked
official confirmation, involved points
which the French people were
deemed not likely to accept. These
are the supposed terms:
/. France will regain her 1889
frontiers except for Alsace-Lorraine
which will be given autonomy.
2. France will keep her empire.
3. Her fleet will cooperate with
the Germans to regain the empire
4. Italy will renounce her terri
torial claims on France.
This information pictured Marshal
Petain, however, as still undecided
on his own course and Laval as
having rejected military alliance
with Germany, as would be re-
quired by the terms affecting the
French fleet.
