chief features.
The screen attraction is a wild
and wonderful farce. Murder, He
Says, which makes. for well
rounded and entertaining bill.
Carle is undoubtedly one of the
most popular and facile pianlstS to
front band today and he knows
how TO sell all of those clever
arrangements, which feature the
piano with an all-braSs back
ground.
Among these are Might and
Day" Time on My Hands, and
Lover" all of which he has re-
corded -
With Carle on this visit are
clever Jerry Mann, who is really
a very amusing comedian, espe-
cially with the help of his partner
Betty Linde, while Wink and Mae
serve some neat dance routine.

ed discourteous, because behind the
politeness was a rejection of Chi
ang's invitation.
In Chinese foreign circles it was
said that Chou, who has been sta
toned in the past in Chungking,
has had numerous discussions with
government delegates, but all have
been fruitless.
1t was considered possible that
Chang might extend another ap-
peal to Mao to come to Chung
king. Chou would have to refer
matters to Communist headquar-
tiers in Yenan for final decision,
which would tend to prolong tie
discussions, government sources
said.
Latest Communist reports en-
phasized gains in Shantung Prov
ince, location of the Yellow Sea
port of Tsingtao
CA Communist News Agency dis
patch from Yenan said that Shan
tung forces had occupied the
mountain headquarters of Tsingtao
and the way is now open for the
Eighth Route Forces to descend on
Tsingtao city,
fThe broadcast, heard by the
FEC, said the Communists had
scaled the La oshan mountains and
occupied heights less than two
miles east of the Tsangkow rail-
way station, which is about II
miles north of Tsingtao.)
The Communists claimed to have
captured Weih;aiwei, former British
naval station in Shantung, and to
have broken into the former treaty
port Of Chefoo. 40 miles to the
west. Chefoo was summer sta
ton for the United States Asiatic
Fleet in prewar days. They said
they were advancing towards the
city against stiff japanese oppo-
sition.
Still additional Communist troops
were said to have seized Fushan,
highway town lust southwest OF
and to have continued op-
erations to clear the Japanese
strongpoints on the Tsingtai-Tsinan
railroad.
(The Tokyo radio said $4,000 Ye-
nan troops were advancing against
Tsinan while the Chungking-ap-
pointed governor of Shantung was
attempting to occupy the city from
the east.)
