RONALD C0LMAN
IS AT CAPITOL
IN GAY COMEDY
MY Life with Caroline
Opens Ionight-Anna
Lee Is Star

Ranking among the stars finest
light comedy efforts, Ronald Col
mans new vehicle for RKO Radio,
MY Life With Caroline" is said
to be a charming and ingenious
film fare that opens tonight at
the Capitol.
The plot deals in gay fashion
with the efforts of a tolerant and
understanding husband (Colman)
to keep his butterfly wife from leav-
ing him for various persuasive adj
mirers. The wife means well, but
she is susceptible to flattery and
is easily convinced that she's ne
elected and misunderstood and that
she'd be much happier married to
the particular gentleman who in
trigues her fancy at the moment.
With infinite tact and adrcit
maneuvering the husband manages
to break up these incipient affairs,
and his strategy comprises the de-
lightful basis of the story and its
many surprises.
The British star, Anna Lee, makes
her bow to American filmgoers as
the vacillating wife, and her blonde
loneliness and brilliant handling of
the part guarantee her acceptance
as a definite new asset to Holly
woods film offerings.

Britain Declared Ready
For Any Nazi Invasion
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, May 23.-Sr Norman
Birkett, famous British barrister,
said today "just let them come" was
the attitude of the British people
toward any threat Of a German in
vasion.
I'VE are ready for them," he as
serted.
That was not the case q year ago.
When we lacked the necessary air.
planes, tanks and supplies there was
some apprehension about the threat
of invasion.
But now we have the trained
men and materials. There are
100000 men In the Home Guard
and their audacious spirit is a Won
derful thing"
Sir Norman also lauded the spirit
OF the British seaman and said.
Notwithstanding all the torpedoings
that have taken place, no British

Navy Certain Patrols
Bar Martinique's Use
By Axis Submarines
Concern Is Felt, However,
Over Need to Maintain
War Vessels There
By CHANDLER DIEHL,

Associated Press War correspondent.
UNITED STATES NAVAL AIR
STATION AT ST. LUCIA IN THE
CARIBBEAN, May 23-The concern
which the French island of Martini
que has caused the American people
because of fears that it might be
used secretly as an Axis submarine
base is not shared by the United
States Navy.
But naval officers at this station,
from which Martinique is clearly
visible, do feel concern over the pos
sibility that French warshipS and
merchantmen now at Fort de
France, Martinique, might be de-
livered to the Axis, and because
Navy units now required for special
patrol duty might otherwise be used
to greater advantage against the
enemy.
Navy men are confident that their
system of checks and patrols ne
gates any possibility of Axis sub
marine operations of any value from
Martinique. They state that rumors
that German air-borne troops are
stationed at Martinique are fam
tastes.
Naval Observer at Martinique.
The United States has a naval OBJ
server, Capt. Jesse Gay, at Martini
que whose principal job is the COL
lection of information for the Navy.
He has an ensign assistant. Consul
General Marcel Etienne Malige
Vice-ConSul Robert Sheehan and
Assistant Consul Al Goodhart are
slmarly employed for the State De-
partment.
All five have free run of the
Island. They have made many
friends in all walks of life, including
French naval personnel, and the
population in general is openly
friendly. Little occurs on the island
without the knowledge of the
friendly natives.
Malige boards every ship enter
Ing the harbor. examining the cargo,
papers and passenger list He can
request the opening of any package
or packing case. Likewise. he checks
departing ships. Identical eXamin-
atlons are made al CaSablanca,
Morocco, to which one ship is per-
mitted to go each month by the
British. The check of fuel con-
sumption makes it next 10 impossible
for these ships to supply a sub
marine en- route.
United States representatives are
able to visit Guadeloupe by plane
on short notice.
Warship Routes Checked.
French Warships do not depart
without giving beforehand their
itinerary and the times of departure
and return. Patrol planes frequent
L. check the route, and other patrol
planes count the ships in harbor
several times daily, One of these
planes lands daily for contact with
United States representatives.
Whenever there is a tense sltua-
ton with Vichy, destroyer patrols
also are established and task forces
are readied for any eventuality.
Officers admit that if the speedy
French cruiser Emile Bertin, now
at Martinique. chose to slip out
some night it conceivably could
travel as much as 500 miles before
being detected Therefore, every
report of possible AXIS activity is
investigated.
They acknowledge that many spots
about the island afford cover for
submarines to charge their batter
les at night, but so far every u
boat" reported has proved to be a
barge or sailboat.
