STATE

Capacity attendance at Warmers State theater yesterday marked the opening performances of Humphrey Bogart in "The Big Shot" featuring Irene Manning, newcomer, in the leading feminine role.
 ''The Big Shot" is by far the best performance of Bogart to date. The temporary reform he underwent for '"The Maltese Falcon" and "All Through the Night" has not in the least softened him for his latest role. All the old cold-blooded terse- ness, ruthless action and sharp tongued retorts still make Bogart the screens number one tough guy no matter which side of the law he's on.
 Appearing opposite Bogart is Irene Manning, who makes her film debut in "The Big Shot," Her charm plus her acting ability assures this young lady of a very successful screen career.
 "The Big Shot" is loaded with action and suspense, coupled with Bogart's fine characterization of a ttree-time loser who is over-cau- tious against any future acts which will send him up for life.
 The pace of the film Is rapid but never does its speed give you the feeling that anything has been cut short of left out. Its continuity flows smoothly and holds ones in- terest throughout. The dialogue is brisk mad realistic, lending. spice and color to the production.
 Richard Travis, Susan Peters, Chick Chandler and Howard da Silva all give splendid perform ances in the supporting roles.
 Laughs, songs, dances. and TO- nance with the screwiest screen fav- orites and the newest sing and swing sensation of radio and records will highlight. the second hit of the program Sing Your worries Away" starring Alvina Rey mad his orches- tra and the King Sisters.
 Bert Lahr and Buddy Ebsen, two of the foremost comics in stage an- nals are said to hit new heights as screen funster in the new comedy while June Havoc and Patsy Kelly and other members of the support- ing cast also do splendid job.

this instruction was not observed, and one cameraman lost his permit to work because he tried to retain such a snapshot as a curiosity. When he is photographed at his headquarters studying maps, re- ports, etc., 1t Is always only with 8 magnifying glass.
 For Hitler, simplicity in dress is emphasized and he calls tails" for men Imaginable get-up. He wears them only when 1t is impossible to avoid putting them on, as at a re- ception for foreign diplomats.
 A really fashionably dressed man is upbearable to him. His aversion to Anthony Eden was based on this antipathy.
 However, he likes elegant military uniforms on his generals. Hitler himself practically always carried gloves, whether at Berchtesgaden, in Berlin, or wherever. Most often he merely carries them in his right hand
 His attitude toward women's dress is quite different from that toward mems clothing. He likes to see we'll dressed women around him, and even has reports and lectures de- livered to him on the question of the creation of a German mode for women. Occasionally he even takes up his sketching pencil to make what he considers to be improve ments in a particular model.
 Designed Costumes
 It was said, in fact, that he per- sonally designed costume for the weIl-known German dancers, the Hoepfner Sisters, which they wore when they made special appear ance on the terrace of the chan cellory.
 Hitler never uses the words beautiful" or "undignifed." He does not like to see women smoke and they do not do SO in his presence. This is probably due less to the fact that it is women who are smoking than to his dislike for tobacco. As a rule men, also, do not smoke in his presence, although now in war time he makes frequent exceptions in the case of soldiers.
 Hitler is as particular about the furnishings in his office and living quarters as he is about his clothing.
 In the great hall of his quarters in the chancellory. there are IA gor- geous Gobelin tapestries selected by Hitler personally, in some 10 of which the horse motif is predomi- nant either in hunting scenes or in war scenes. Every one of these horses is 8 stallion, which is an- other fetish of Hitler's. Hitler likes animals but only males and those with power. He has two male shepherd dogs, Castor and Wolf, which he also took with him to the so-called Feuhrer's headquarters wen he went to the western and eastern fronts.
 Virtually the only horse pictures he will allow around the place are of stallions. If those parts of the body which would identify the beast as a stallion are concealed in the tapestry or photograph by foliage or other objects he has experts establish the sex from the nostrils, the mane and the bone formation. Then if 8 person who is supposedly horse fancier visits him, he en- gagged him in talk on horses and says casually, "by the way you are an expert, what do you think of this stallion?" And if they say modestly I can't tell whether 1t is 8 stallion or mare," he says, with an expert air, "why, you don't know anything about horses. That is 8 stallion" |" And then proceeds to explain how he knows this, based, of course, on

what the real experts have told him
 Passion for Pictures


 Passion for Pictures
 Hitler's passion for architectural pictures and photographs is illus trated by an incident which con- cerns Foreign Minister von Rib- bentrop. When Ribbentrop returned from Moscow in August, 1939, after signing the Soviet-G German pact, he brought with him 100 pictures of Russian architecture. Going into the chancelloly to give his report to Hitler on the momentous pact which he had signed in Moscow, he pre- sented the pictures also. Hitler lifted the cover, became absorbed and when Ribbentrop politely suggested that he might give his report, Hit Ter said impatiently, "No, no, leave me alone with these for an hour: want to study them; then we can talk" Ribbentrop retired, came back in. an hour, whereupon Hitler said, %these pictures show me that there | Is great kinship between the Rus sian and the German souls. If I had seen these pictures a year ago I would have entered this pact then" l" Dependence upon this psychic re- action for his decisions is not un- common in Hitler. I have been told in Berlin by persons in position to know that when Hitler and Mus solini first met they talked almost not at all on specific political de- tails but about matters like archi- lecture. painting. even philosophical subjects, and Hitler,s attitude was that if he and Mussolini understood one another in such matters they would talk the same political lan- guage.

 These photographs were sent Hit Ter, but unfortunately the artist who created the wax head had given the face mustache much broader than Hitler's, making him look more or less like Stalin's cousin. Hitler was enraged, and ordered a careful Investigation as to whether any one had done 1t deliberately, but no evidence of sabotage was found. The l incident, however, is typical, both in the photographing of the caps and an Hitler's distress over the mus tache, of his extreme and over- weening vanity.
 It was after this incident that Hitler forbade anyone in his imme- diate circle to wear rnustache or a beard. The one exception on the ll1l1stache edict was Julius Schreck, who had been his chauffeur for many years.
 Plenty Of Pistols
 @chreck, who in the early days of hard campaign fighting drove Hitler tens of thousands of miles, vas called Pistol" Schreck. Prior to 1883 he carried a revolver in every pocket that would hold one. He was said, in fact, to have seven Brownings or him large part of the time he was with Hitler when of course, 1t was perfectly conceiv- able that he might have needed them. He was a primitive, brutal, animal-type of man utterly devoted to Hitler. Early in 1887 he received Instructions to take Hitler's column of automobiles, great, shiny Merce- des cars, from Berlin to Munich where Hitler, having come on by airplane, was to pick 1t up. In Ber- lin Ecfreck contracted an abscessed tooth and when he came to Hitler's adjusant with great swollen jaw, the adjutant said to him, my God, man, the Chief (Hitler) is always DPJhGAA VI dS GSL NAlCA uAiOAlS b4LC Reichschancellory staff, although never of course in his presence) won't let you drive If he sees you like that. Go to a doctor"
 Schreck having only & very brief Gfrn0 before the column was to start and being unwilling to let anyone but himself drive Hitler, went out Into the garage at the Chancellory, took c screw-driver from his tool case, gouged and scraped the in- fected tooth, broke open an abscess covering four teeth, admidst hor- rihle pain, tried to pull the worst tooth with 6 pair of pliers and started to Munich with a tempera- tIre of over 100.
 Arriving in Munich mad with pain and fever, Schreck drank cognac trying to find some relief, went into Q delirium, was taken to a hospital and subsequently, died of the infec- ton. Hitler wept bitterly at his death.
 Wore Glasses Once
 For some time Hitler has worn glasses occasionally. He wore them publicly first for the signing of the Munich agreement with Daladier, Chamberlain and Mussolini. It was only when he signed his name or had to read through short docu- 1nent that he put on his glasses. Photographers. newsreel men, etc., had strict instructions from Hitler's adiutant, Wilhelm Brueckner, to photograph him only when he had removed his glasses. Several rolls of film had to be destroyed because
