Brown returns to the Cap itol Theatre screen tonight in Co., lumbia's Shut My Big Mouth" a laugh loaded comedy of the wide open faces, sharing a double bill with Cadets on Parade" Hailed by Hollywood as a rodeo of roars, in which the cave-mouthed comic ap- pears as fun-totin' fool who licks gun-totin band of range rene gades, Shut My Big Mouth also serves to introduce one of the screens loveliest and most talented newcomers, the brunette beautiful Adele Mara.
 Shut My Big Mouth" presents Joe E. in one of his most delightful roles or, if the truth must be told, in two of his most delightful roles.

Make believe Stuff Is Old To Them As They Have
 Seen Real Thing
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, Oct. The ter rifying whistle of tie incendiaries falling about them, the raucous racket of ack-ack, and the comfort ing sound of the "all clear" are old hat to Gladys Cooper, Rhys Will Hams, Brenda Forbes and Jill Es- mond. This quartet of English ac- tors, currently portraying the roles of embattled Londoners in The Morning Star" Emlyn Williams play about the Battle of Britain, know all about the sound and the fury although they were happily far removed from their native city when the Luftwaffe struck.
 Last year they were together in the film version of This Above All" Like Morning Star. it dealt with England under fire. Oddly enough Gladys Cooper. Brenda Forbes, Jill Esmond and Rnys Will Hams didn't realize they had played together in the same picture until Guthrie McClintic's press depart ment dug up the strange fact. It seems that movies are shot episodic- ally in quick takes, and the four never were called together on the same set. Each of their roles was so fleeting that they had no reason to remember their colleagues were also in the cast. Incidentally Brenda Forbes and Rhys Williams also went through a blitzkrieg in Mrs. Miniver," and, like England, they can take it.
 Rhys Williams, who plays a

Welshman, as he did in Emlyn Will Hams great hit of two years ago, The Corn Is Green" explains that the blitz is much more terrifying on stage than on the screen. In pictures the explosion of bombs is dubbed in afterwards. The actors never hear them until they see the finished product. The director mo-
 tions them when to duck a bomb or hold their ears. On the stage
 the blitz lands all around them:
 actually it is louder to the eardrums of the actors than to the audience.
 One of the reasons for Morning Stars" great hopes in New York is because, CD, 1t is by Emlyn Will Hams, who is well liked on Broad- way and, CD, the play has already 300 performances behind 1t in Lon don. This gives Londoners the op- portunity to see and laugh at them selves under fire, and New Workers are wondering how they would be- have under similar circumstances, as it is entirely possible for bombs to begin raining down in Manhattan.

Incidentally, Dorothy Gish, who with Louis Calhern has been wow ing New York as MT. and Mrs. Day C"Life With Father') is a baseball fan and for a most unusual reason. She simply cannot get over un- pires.
 Watching an ump' says Mrs C.. "is like watching ballet. Every- thing they do is so stylized. Their motions seldom vary. When tho players bulge out their necks and shake their, fists in each otherS faces it is perfect pantomime"
 Dot got to be fan in a peculiar manner. At her first game the ac- tivities deteriuated into one of. those general brawls where every body is swinging but nobody gets hurt. It focused her attention on the umps, and made her want to see more baseball. which again i5 odd because Miss G. cant use prize fights at all.

MAYOR BOWEN OF

Newton, Mass, June 20--(UP)- Mayor Faxon Bowen, 66, of North Adams was to be married here this afternoon to Q Little Rock, Ark, woman who answered his advertise ment for a secretary smart enough to be worth $40 a week and dumb enough to work for $18."
 Miss Audrea Miner, 36, replied as a "gag" to the mayors newspaper advertisement while visiting Boston last fall. She was not hired as the mayors secretary but several months later left her Arkansas job and became @ clerk with the North Adams rationing board.
 The engagement was announced several weeks ago and they ob- tained a 1ive-day waiver in North Adams yesterday after filing mar riage intentions. The marriage will be the third for the mayor.

(Continued from Page D dicated by the announcement that the defenders had destroyed more than regiment (3,000 men) of irl- fantry and 20 tanks in one days presumably yesterday's-fghting.
 Hitler'S expectations were long overdue. The TasS Agency said German prisoners revealed that Nazi officers had believed Sevastopol would be taken by June 10.
 The assault is in it's 18th day, German plans are already 10 days behind and Sevastopol's garrison and civilian population-sworn to die rather than submit-show no signs of weakening.
 Situation Tense
 (Paul Winterton, British Broad- casting Corporation correspondent in Moscow, said the situation was tense, but the Germans had not made an important penetration of Sevastopol'S defenses)
 The object of suddenly stepping up the attack to @ seemingly su- preme effort appeared to be to sup ply Hitler with victory by Monday first anniversary of his invasion of Russia.
 The prisoners, Tass said, revealed that the German 72nd Division had lost 60 per cent of its strength in two days, and that other divisions had lost 50 per cent of their ef- fectiveS.
 All together, Col Gen. Fritz Erich von Manstein was believed to be using 10 divisions of infantry-150,- 900 men--plus dive bombers, artil- lery and tanks.
 It was reliably estimated that the Germans and their Rumanian stooges average 5000 men killed a day---a total of 45,O00 since the be- ginning of the assault. Hence, 1t was obvious that the Germans must be continually reinforced.
 Russian losses were understood to be relatively small.

border or try to take Tobruk first.
 However, in other quarters 1t was doubted that the Germans would again leave Tobruk on their flank, where its garrison could make sortie timed with possible new British offensive.
 But the position of Tobruk was now difficult because the British navy did not possess the same measure of command of the Medi- terranean as 1t did a year ago.
 The Germans also had received considerable reinforcepents in ar- tillery, including 115 millimeter and 21O millimeter (4h and 8h inch) flowitzers.
 It was assumed here that the Germans still had many heavy tanks despite their recent big losses.
 If an attack on Tobruk succeeded, 1t was said, the Germans could then attack the main British line front- ally.
 The area just north and west of the British line, in the Hardia area, was described here as a No Mans Land with British forces having the advantage.
 Light British colmns were lancing at the Axis forces in the interior desert far west of the main line.

 The 2l flyers who landed here in three of the Consolidated planes which raided the Rumanian oil fields were bored and disgusted at the prospect of internment for the rest of the war. But they are en- toying the beer made at a brewery a few blocks from their internment quarters, and are swimming and playing tennis daily.
 The secret German Gustave Sieg- fried radio station reported late yesterday that as the result of the United States raid on the Ru- manian oil fields, two squadrons of German fighter p1anes had been sent to the area from the eastern front.
 According to this station, Albert Hermann Goering, who has man. aged to become @ multi-millionaire in Rumania, urgently wired his un- cle, Marshal Hermann Goering, chief of the German air force. The fat marshal sent the planes at once, the station said, if only be- cause he has salted away nearly $40,000,000 worth of Rumanian oil interests which his nephew handles.

HEAVY STORM IN
 EASTERN MASS.
Property, Crops Heavily Damaged; Flooded Areas
 in City of Boston

Boston, June 20-(UP)-One of the heaviest electrical storms of the year, accompanied by torrential rains, caused considerable property damage and injured crops late last night and early today in many sec tions of eastern Massachusetts. \ Throughout the city, there were scores of flooded areas where wa- ter was two feet deep. Tn East Bos- ton, the down-pour caused the roof of 8 house to collapse, but no one was injured.
 In Bedford, lightning struck the belfry of the First Parish Unita- rian Church, starting a fire in the cupola IA feet above the ground. Outside help was called when local firemen found they lacked ladder long enough to reach the blaze. A bolt put out all street lights in Melrose, and fired home, causing $3600 damage.
