Severe Plane Losses
will Curb Jap Fleet,
Admiral Barley Says
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, Aus
tralia, July 5.-Rear Admiral Daniel
E. Barley, commander of the 7th
Amphibious Force, said yesterday
the recent heavy Japanese air
losses in the Marianas area would
greatly restrict the use of the Jap
anese fleet.
II don't believe that we could
suffer such losses as Japan has
suffered recently without being
greatly embarrassed" Admiral Bar
hey said. And our replacement
capacity is certainly much greater
than the enemy's."
In an interview the admiral, Just
returned to his command from con-
ferences in the United States, pre-
dicted "the going in the Pacific
will be harder and harder from
now on as we near Japan and
have to conquer islands completely"
He cited the tough battle on Sal
pan as an example of what can be
expected in the Pacific.
People at home" he said. "erro-
neously assume that the greatest
dangers are at the beachhead during
the moment of invasion.
THE pattern of invasion is such
now that we bring overwhelming
air and Navy resources against the
point of attack to drive the enemy
from it while we land.
"Afterward, the heavy land fight
ing develops as the enemy gets his
opportunity to concentrate against
us"
Admiral Barley, who is from
Portland, Oreg., is a veteran of
more amphibious landings than any
admiral in the Pacific. He COM
manded forces during landings at
Woodlark and Kiriwina, Lac, Finsch-
hafen, Saidor, Arawe, Cape Glouces-

You've Seen That Face Before

the Hollywood minds picked that
old Southern gentleman, Herbert
Marshall. for the role.
Lobsters Between Jobs.
Conroy has run the usual theatrical
gamut for a man with 36 years of
stage life staring him in the back.
He has performed in Shakespearean
repertory and stock; he organized
and built the Greenwich Village
Theater in New York, where he
produced, directed and acted in
originals, revivals and old standbys,
to artistic if not great financial
success.
Conroy recently has been doing
New York in typical actor -on leave
fashion, seeing shows and taking up
friendships where he left off when
'The Little Foxes" closed.
Then it's back to Palos Verdes,
Calf. where he owns a comfortable
inn right on the beach. He loves to
go lobster fishing and loll about
between screen chores.
He particularly likes to stay close
to home these days, as the postman
daily delivers a letter from his 23-
year old son Richard, a coast
guardsman. Like any proud service
parent, there's star in the Conroy
window and fervent prayer each
night that the war will end soon
and that Richard will come out Of
it okav.
Then will have lived q full
life" Conroy declares.

for our side. It was an attitude
that brought deluge Of criticism
down upon the movie makers, but
they persisted In 1t through four
years.
The criticism was slow to Alter
down to the mass of moviegoers, but
eventually 1t, too, took up the cudgels
in behalf of an honest picture of
the enemy, not only as cruel and
degenerate species Of mankind, but
as q crafty one. Americans who
have met him face to face over so
much of the globe are well aware of
that and they were the first to
laugh, and laughed the loudest, over
misrepresentation.
1t would be absurd to expect q
motion picture maker Of Hitch
cocks caliber to distort the image
of the enemy in the light-hearted
fashion OF the average Hollywood
story teller. He is not only thor
oughly informed man, but q pro-
foundly honest one whose realism
compels him to state his conception
OF truth in the most emphatic and
exciting terms possible.
That is what he has done in Life
boat" and when he returns from
England he no doubt will be pre-
pared to defend himself in terms as
vigorous as those in which he has
stated his point in the picture which
will be the most fought over of 1914.

NEW YORK.

NEW YORK.
On the opening night of Mexican
Hayride' at the Winter Garden
Theater I ran into an unshaven,
thoroughly exhausted man.
His usually smooth black hair was
mussed up. His clothes were
wrinkled. The hand that held his
drink was shaking. To top things
off he had a bad cold and his face
had room only for a pronounced
froWn.
AS matter of fact, Mike Todd
looked like bum. A few minutes
later, at the rear of the theater,
just after the musical got under
way, he was bawling out couple
of ushers who were talking as Bobby
Clark went through the most
hilarious and successful perform
ance Of his career.
About half an hour later I ran
across Mr. Todd again. He was all
smiles. He had combed his hair.
His cold at least was 50 per cent
gone. He was entirely happy. He
had a right to be.
More Work for Todd.
The advance reports on Mexican
Hayride" were that it had too much
talent, was unwieldy and far too
long. Not many persons knew it
that is, not more than a thousand
or two who make it point to know
what is going on behind the cur
tains of Broadway and its outlying
precincts-but Mr.. Todd had spent
many hours pulling together and
shortening the production to pre-
sent it at it's almost full entertain
ment value.
He succeeded, lacking about 10
minutes, most of which can be
taken out of the first act. Today it
is one of New York's greatest musi-
cal hits.
The reasons are many:

Conroy, proving he is a fine actor
by looking extremely impressed.
"Yep, that same chair" the girl
repeated. Bet you wish some of
that talent rubbed off on you, eh?"
That sort of incident is not un-
usual for Frank Conroy. He always
is getting a second look from persons
who know they have seen him be-
fore, but can't make up their minds
whether it was last week at the
rationing board or in church last
Sunday.
His thespic history takes almost
a whole page in the theatrical bible,
who's Who in the Theater," but
his roles are the sort that keep him
obscured behind glamour stars SO
that he is not a "name"-merely a
familiar voice and face.
Gamut of Types.
He plays wealthy tycoons, judges,
character parts of various degrees
of heaviness from pure skullduggery
to wastrels of frontier sort. And
he never has-what's more, he says
he never will-sign term contract
with any movie company.
He uses his own prerogative in
picking roles. He gave up a good
part-Secretary of the Navy-in the
forthcoming Woodrow Wilson" to
star in Broadway play this season.

might have been more impressed If
she had been given a gander at the

debut in England in 1908, Conroy
now has amassed 81 lines in the
handy little tome, a stage history
easily comparable with the feats OF

In the same book.
His last New York effort was in
"The Little Foxes" and he drew

Movie Dancing
With Caution

Tamara Toumanova is "kipping
her fingers crossed" about her first
movie starring role and so, she says,
are great many of her ballet
friends who have written her.
Il am so excited I could die but
with so many people holding kind
thoughts I know it will be good" !"
She talks rapidly, with her pretty,
graceful hands weaving their own
choreographic patterns through the
air. This premier ballerina fairly
dances as she sits and talks, and
her eyes, a warm brown in classic
ally chiseled, olive-skinned face, are
dancing, too Her black hair tumbles
over her shoulders, wavy and unre-
strained.
Dancer-Guerrilla.
Toumanova, Siberian-born in
freight car as her Georgian princess
mother was fleeing the revolution to
Vladivostok, is making her feature
debut in Casey Robinsons Days
of Glory" story of the current war.
She plays dancer who becomes lost
while entertaining at the front and
finds hiding with band of Russian
guerrillas headed by Gregory Peck.
She plays a dancer but does not
dance in the picture, although once
she almost begins demonstration.
In her next picture, THE Little
Green Hussar," again with newcomer
Peck, she is also a dancer-but will
be seen dancing only in the back
row of chorus.
Oomph Is Dispensable.
There's reason for this departure
from the art in which, ever since she
was when Pavlowa made her a
protege in Paris, the slim exotic
beauty has gained world fame.

idea I should act, express myself

them very difficult indeed: a crea-
ture accustomed in her art to con-
quering space, she had to learn to
toe a mark and restrain herself
within camera range and set limita-
tions.
Now "a, girlish and vivacious,

but perhaps with just a partner and
a few couples" she says.
She lives with father and mother
In Beverly Hills home, where she

she uses for ballet practice-every

00r11t, ne mas plan. he knows
what he wants, which Is to be saved,
and has a definite notion Of how
that end is to be accomplished.
Contrast II Painful.
To some commentators it Is no less
than outrageous that Mr.. Hitchcock
should concede this much of wisdom
to the enemy, especially when he
denies any grace Of mind or per-
sonality to the Americans and Eng
lish characters aboard the nfeboat
The local critic audience which
viewed the picture last week with full
awareness Of the accusations against
1t concluded that Mr.. Hitchcock was
an entirely innocent man.
In the first place, It took the posi-
ton that the U-boat captain was
not an admirable fellow, nor ikable
in any respect. He is full of guile
and arrogance, neither of which is
a quality calculated to endear him
to either his companions aboard the
lifeboat nor to the average person
viewing his conduct from a COM
Portable seat in q motion picture
palace. When he has the courage
and the skill to perform an opera
ton to save q wounded merchant
marine sailors life, he arouses a
modicum Of admiration, but when
he later pushes the same man over
board because he demands a drink
of the Nazi,s boarded bottle Of
water, he becomes one Of the years
darkest-dyed villains.
AS for the mans organization, his
patiently greater wisdom than others
in the boat, it is not at all surpris-
ing to this commentator. After all,
he is a ranking officer in one of the
most carefully trained of military
services. He is accustomed to re-
sponsibility and there is no reason
why he should not take it among a
group OF incompetents and irrespon-
sibles. In that, he symbolizes some
thing that Is more than German
and the others appear neither stupid
nor irrational in allowing him to
take charge. He has been trained
for just such an emergency as that
In which the group finds itself and
logic Is on the side of taking advan-
tage Of his training.
The broad charge against Life
boat" is that 1t dares to imply that
there is any merit in the enemy.
Its opponents apparently would have
him presented as a weakling and a
fool when all the evidence points to
the contrary.
Previous Pictures Distorted.
That is the way, indeed, in which
he has been presented in altogether
too many movies. Before Life
boat" it was the custom of Holly
wood to try to make monkeys of the
Nazis, to offer them as sadistic
cloWns who were M match mentally
