'Snafu' Next State Film
 Late Robert BenchIey
 Has Leading Role

Now showing at Warmers State theater is the thrilling melodrama, Danger Signal" starring Faye Elm erson and Zachary Scott. The CO., feature, Blonde From Brooklyn" stars Robert Stanton and Lynn Merrick and is a combination of a merry love story and musical ex- travaganza.
 When "Snafu", which starts Sun day, was presented on the Broad way stage last season, it was hailed as an exhilarating comedy.
 Since George Abbott, who pro- duced this comedy hit, and Louis Soloman and Harold Buckman, who wrote it--plus the expert direction Of Jack Moss-are also responsible for the motion picture version, it is very safe assumption the qualities which went into making "Snafu" such delightful affair on the stage have been retained in the screen account.
 Starred are the late Robert Benchley, Vera Vague, Conrad Janis Nanette Parks, Janis Wilson, Jim my Lloyd and Enid Markey. The second hit is a psychological nys-

CoImon Tops Strand Cast
 "PrisoneF of zenda"
 Features Dual Role
He did it with mirrors!

11C A1Nl AG WAbA1 AAAAA 404c!
 Ronald Colman has succeeded in !mparting to his dual role in David c. SelZnick's 'The Prisoner of zenda," showing now at the Strand theater, the most distinct separa- tion of two personalities ever por- trayed on the screen by single star. His method was unique in the annals of filmdom.
 Colman. who with Madeleine Carroll and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., heads the "Zenda" cast used mir TOTS to achieve the striking result. He plays the part of both King Rudolf, 6 reigning monarch, and Rudolph Rassendyll, an English gentleman, two persons whose per- sonalities and traits are different, though their looks are the same.
 Mirrors entered the picture in Colman's rehearsa:s for the most difficult parts, those in which Ru- dolf and RaSSendyll meet, shake hands. and discuss matters both hu- niorous and serious. To make sure that his reactions to certain lines would differ from character to character, Colman observed him. self as he ran through each part. If changes in technique were need ed, he made them.
 ''The king" explained Colman, lis sort of light-hearted fel- lew without too much regard for his obligations, and quite liking for wine. He greets things with a jest on his lips, and perhaps just . trace of bitterness for the isola- ton his exalted position brings.
 "Rassendyll, on the other hand, is more serious though ready in with and with jest. He Is daring, adventurous, but quite level head cd"
 The actual placing of the two characters on the screen of the came time withtheir amazing ex- change of greetings, is carefully guarded technical secret. But, &C., cording to Director John Cromwell eah person is striking different from the other, despite the 1act that Cohnan plays both.
 In a single day, Colman would be called upon to step from one character to the other several times, dropping the previous characteriza- ton like a cloak with each move.
 'The Prisoner of Zenda' is re- leased through United Artists.
 On the same program is another revival "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" featuring Tom Kelly ana Mae Robson.

other in the Solomons under Ad- miral William F. Halsey.
 It was General MacArhtur's in tention to proceed by a series of developments up the coast of New Guinea and into the Philippines. We now enjoyed superiority both on the sea and in the air. He was therefore able to land his troops where the Japanese were weak est and contine their stronger forces in pockets from which, be- cause of incredibly difficult ter rain and our air and sea superi- ority, they could never break out As 8 result there were at the time of surrender hundreds of thou sands of Japanese troops isolated in the irngles of the Pacific islands, dying on the vine and of no further use to their Emperor. As General MacArthur reported toward the end of 1914:
 ~The enemy gaTisons which have been bypassed in the Solo, mons and New Guinea represent no menace to current or future operations. Their capacity for or ganized offensive effort has passed. The various processes of attrition will eventually account for their final disposition. The actual time of their destruction is of little or no importance and their influence as contributing factor the the war is already negligible. The actual process of their immediate destruction by assault methods would unquestionably involve heavy loss of life without adequate com pensating strategic advantages"
 Even with the intense preoccu- patton in the campaigns in Europe during the past two years, this great nation has been able stead fly to increase the resources avail able in the Pacific until at the moment of German collapse Gen. eral Macarthur and Admiral Nimitz were established on the threshold of the Japanese home- land and the industries and cities of Japan were crumbling under our aerial bombardment. The U. s. Navy dominated the Pacific. The Commonwealth Government under President Osmena, had been reestablished in power and in residence in the Philippines
