II The Japanese now have a 4,0OU-
! mile front from Ceylon 20 the

h arc of $500 miles from the Amur

4 The only way 10 prevent the

and stop Japan's advance Is by

n II the Allied naval forces in the
area are not sufficiently power
full TO give battle. a continuous
attack on Japan's long and tenuous
lines pf communication by sub
marines and bombers should be
established.
The more these are spread out
the more vulnerable they become
for a large-scale concentrated at

Shipp;ng Weakness
As shiWdng Is one OF Jspan's
most dangerous wealnesses--hav-

first four months Of the war. or
more than the average annual ship

Il Yet the Japanese, both on land
and at sea, apparently are de-
termined 10 push ahead in the
direction Of India.
To invade such a country wall
take a long time, even with only
wcak-l1need opposition.
Can't Spare Vessels
On the other hand. because the
limited American tonnage is kept
busy in the Atlantic supplying
Russia and the Near East with
rnunitions, the japanese figure
that no vessels can be spared for
n large-scale overseas operation IN
the Pacific against Japan in the
near future.
Therefore, as the monsoon sea-
son is due in India in a very few
weeks--a period distinctly un-
favorable for invasion purposes
the Japanese probably win push
on as rapidly as possible while
the weather still serves.
AS though 10 accentuate the
menace, Prime Minister Winston
Churchill i'm his statement TO the
House Of Commons regarding re-
cent naval and air losses disclosed

Last week, while driving to the
RKO studio from his San Fer
nando Valley home, Cary happened
to take route much frequented by
school children. Standing on a cor
ner waiting for bus was a little
9-year -old boy, with school books
and lunch pail in his arms.
Cary stopped the car and asked
the boy if he would like lift. The
kid answered, "Sure!" and jumped
in. He began to talk to the man
behind the wheel. and then sud-
denly stopped. He had recognized
the driver.
Evidently he told the story when
he got to school. because the next
morning he was on the corner with
two of his buddies. Cary stopped
the car again and the boys squeezed
in.
The following morning the corner
looked like young football rally.
The original patron was surrounded
by bunch of 9-year-olds who quite
obviously didn't believe the story.
but Cary managed to get seven of
them in the car.
Now Cary drives to work along
a different route, He hopes that his
passengers will forgive his not stop

Plan to Aid Dramatists
ADJUSTMENTS.

Duncan, who has been a distin-
guished actor and director on the
Broadway stage for four decades,
has been blind for IA years. Despite
that handicap he has done bril-
liant job of both directing the play
! and of playing the leading role. And
| his performance, despite the fact
that he cannot see, was as perfect
as when he was cheered by the
critics for his performance of John
of Gaunt in Maurice Evans 1887
production of Richard H." Duncan,
who directed the Pulitzer prize
winning "HeL-Bent for Heaven" in
1923, was as sure in his movements
about the stage as the youngest
actor who could see clearly.
Homecoming" is a play that was
written Is years ago, but is just now
approaching the doors of Broadway

Of moods that an audience could

mittedly it is difficult to imagine
combining the atmospheres of those
two plays. but Homecoming" has

Duncan plays the role of Nate

NEW YORK

I'VE" 1O1S1A.
In the battered little Province
town Playhouse in New York's Bo-
hemian Greenwich Village there
was unfolded this week the first
presentation of new theatrical
venture which is interesting to those
who like to help unknown play
wrights and unknown actors.
The ProvincetoWn Playhouse,
which is just a few steps from the
foot of Manhattan's fashionable
Fifth avenue, is the stage where
plays by Eugene O'Neill and many
other noted dramatists first had a
hearing by producers, critics. direc-
tors and others who are influential
further uptown on the bright-hght
stages of Broadway.
Now the Provincetown has been
taken over by a group who are pre-
senting new plays and, for the most
part. unknown actors with the in
tention that the first-string pro-
ducers can see both the plays and
actors there and judge whether
they are worthy of flight pres
entations on Broadway and other
leading theaters across country.
Each new production is scheduled
for only two weeks and if it proves
hit in that time it will, most
likely, move uptown to Broadway.
Acts and Directs.
There are several producers, di-
rectors and talent scouts who are
interested in this tryout venture,
but the chief feature of their first
play. Homecoming" is that the
leading role is acted by Augustin
Duncan and he also directed the
production in collaboration with the
North Carolina author, Edward
PeytOn Harris.

King Of Cowboys Told to Stay Off Bicycle
Roy Rogers Warned He Must Never Be Seen
Riding Anything but Horse in Public
By Robert Myers.

HOLLYWOOD R.-Tom Mix was
the greatest cowboy star Of the
screen, in my opinion, and that goes
for Roy Rogers. today's new king
of the cowboys" the Republic Pie
lures bills him.
I told Roy himself about this
world shaking thought. ana ducked,
thinking he might whip out his
trusty six-gun and start firm.
Instead he grinneo and agreed:
"Darned if don't think the same
thing. Mix was my hero, too"
II wish I had all the fifteen
cents I paid to see Mix" he went
on, ignoring the fact that he has
more f1fteen-centses than he knows
what to do with now.
One Of the things he does with
them, incidentally, is to buy four
gear bicycles or motorcycles. That
very morning he had been riled by
a message from Republics president,
Herbert Yates. demanding that he
stay of motorcycles or bicycles.
Republics king Of cowboys must
never be seen riding anything but
a horse" was the tone OF the COM
mand.
Roy was born in Cincinnati,
Ohio. but now talks with q slight
drawl. He probably picked it up
from the script for his Westerns,
or maybe from Gabby Hays.
Picks Up Easily.
Rogers picks up things very cas-
lily. One of the first things he
picked up was ambition. His father
worked in shoe factory at Ports
mouth, Ohio, and Roy, born Leon
ard Slye and one of seven little
Slyes, seemed destined for a career
at cobbler's bench.
AS one punster put 1t. however,
he was one shoemaker who didn't
stick to his last.
Roy laughs when any one tries to
make him out as real cowboy,
although as youngster he did milk
a COW. Tended pigs, too-and spent
his nickels at the movie to see Mix,
Buck Jones, Ken Maynard and
other shoot 'em up heroes Of the
period prior to 1920.
Roy's first interest in the West
came from pair of boots. A friend
of the family owned a ranch and
wanted custom made boots Roy's
dad made them, and one summer
Roy got to visit the mans ranch.
Later the family moved to Cali
fornia in jalopy elegance. and Roy
made the usual rounds of pickup
jobs. He also strummed away on a
guitar (second-hand) and dreamed
idly Of doing something with his
repertoire of hillbily songs.
Later he and two pals organized
the Sons of the Pioneers" and
