The fate of many people, his own large for tune, and the hearts of two beautt- ful women are the objects of his conquest in the story, which is filled with a wealth of exciting 1n- cidents.

"To Es or Mot To Be- the pie tlre everyone wants to see arrived at Warmers sSate theater this aft- erifcon with Carole Lombard and Jack Benny in co-ssarring roles.
 This picture is Carole Lombard's last and greatest picture acGordins to reports. The beloved star1is said to cap her long and brilliant career in this picture which skillfully blends melodran1a and comedy. Critics from coast to coast cheer this spectacular riot of laughs. It is not only Miss Lombard at her greatest but Jack Benny at his hilarious best.
 The setting of the picture is War saw at the time of the German in- vasion, and the chief characters are bunch of "ham"- actors of the Theater Pols.ki who are forced to give up their theatrical roles for real life ones that are. far more ex- citing than any they have ever played in the theater.
 One of the principal public squares in Warsaw was erected on huge stage and more than three hundred extras were hired to ap- pear as Polish citizens. Months of research preceded the designing of the sets. Thousands of photographs, magazines and books were carefully studded, and preliminary drawings and sketches were prepared.
 Briefly, the story of ITO Be or Not To Be" reaches a high point of dra- matic action when the ham" actors Jack Benny, Carole Lombard, Lionel Atwill, Felix Bressart, Tom Dugan, Charles Halton and George Lynn become involved with thei invaders and find themselves inpersonating every important Nazi figure from Hitler on down. After 8 series ot startling complications, the members of the troupe are delivered out o1 Poland into England snatched from the very jaws of the Gestapo.
 All in all here is a picture that should be on everyones must" list Carole Lombard is her last art greatest picture-Jack Benny at his hilarious best-truly picture every one wants to see.
 "Go West, Young Lady" 8 rol. licking comedy of the west is the second hit of the program and flea. lures such favorites as Penny Sin. gleton, Ann Miller, Glen Ford, ant Charlie Ruggles.

store about 10 o'clock and went to
the house nearby to give t h Ell r

her husband failed to return in
about 80 minutes she went back

ing the results of the battle also
disclosed that U. S. submarines
operating in the Western Pacific
had sunk three more japanese
ships. Thus, the enemy's total ship
losses announced today were elev.
en- sunk, including seven Warshlpsr
and four damaged, as follows:
The Toll
In the Solomons:
Sunk-one light cruiser, two de.
stroyers, four gun boats and one
supply vessel.
Damaged - one 5000 ton sea-
plane tender, one light cruiser, one
cargo vessel and one transport.
In U. S. submarines operations:
Sunk-one medium sized cargo
ship, one medium sized tanker,
and one small cargo ship.
The sinkings raised the unoffi-
cially tabulated total of Japanese
ship losses due to United Nations
operations to $50, including 1875
warships of all types and S. com.
merical vessels. They also raised
the bag of Japanese ships success
fully attacked by far ranging U. S.
undersea raiders to 80 sunk, IL
probably sunk and eleven damag-
ed.
Not since the combined Austral-
ian-American bombing of an ene-
my ship concentration off Lee and
Salamaua, New Guinea, had such
a United States success been re-
ported by the Navy.
That action, carried out mostly
by American forces, resulted, the
Navy announced March 18, in the
sinking or damaging of % Japa-
nese ships including II war ves-
sells.
The Solomon islands action COM
pensated to considerable extent
for the American-British-Dutch los
ses in the great battle of the Java
sea in late February when the AL

anese had seven sunk or damaged.
The exact nature of the battle in
the Solomons was not shown by
the Navy's communique, which
was restricted to relation of re-
suits obtained. A fuller account,
officers said, must await later re.
ports from the Pacific.
Large Scale Battle
But on the basis of what the
conmunique indicated, Naval ex-
perts said that the Solomons action
appeared to have been large
scale sea battle between strictly
American and Japanese forces and
since results were so clearly
known to the Americans it may
have occurred in daylight. The use
of the term Naval engagement
it was said, definitely meant that
American surface ships as well as
aircraft had participated.
The battle was regarded as hav-
ing high strategic importance be-
cause of it's relation to the vital
necessity of keeping open the sup

BRITISH CRUISER
EDINBURGH LOST
Warship Sunk After Hits
By Enemy Torpedoes In
Attack On Convoy
BY The Associated Press

LONDON, May 1.-THE 10,000-ton
British cruiser Edinburgh was lost
last week in German submarine,
surface and air attacks on two
British conveys plying the vital
Arctic supply route to Russia, the
announced tonight, but
despite the severity of the assaults,
spread over several days, the Brit
ish accomplished their mission with
relatively small loss among the
other naval and merchant vessels.
One attacking German destroyer
was sunk and another was hit and
severely damaged, and at least
three Nazi bombers We're destroyed.
The Edinburgh was crippled by
enemy torpedoes and had to be
abandoned in tow and sunk by the
British themselves while she was
homeward bound with convoy
which already had delivered it's
goods. One conveyed vessel also
was sunk.
The second convoy attacked was
a large string of ships carrying
important war supplies" to the
bitterly-contested Russian front. AL
though it was attacked by repeated
waves of dive-bombers and torpedo
carrying planes which sank three
ships, the British nevertheless sue
ceeded in delivering g. per cent of
their cargo, the admiralty stated.
Assuming all of the convoy ships
were of approximately the same
size, this would indicate that the
convoy originally was composed of
about 80 ships.
Casualties apparently were rela-
lively small, although it was not
specifically so stated. Casualties
