DIETRICH IN DARING PICTURE
 AT 10TH CENTURY

A film romance very much on the daring side comes to the 20th Century Theatre tonight for a three-day run, in Paramount's s Golden Earrings" This love story of the seductive gypsy and the British man-of-the-world co-stars Ray Midland and Marlene Dietrich.
 Golden Earrings concerns the adventures of a top-ranking British officer who, in eluding his Nazi pursuers in the Romany forests, comes upon Hungarian gypsy wo- man. The woman offers to help him, disguises him as gypsy, com plete with pierced ears and stained skin, and then proceeds to make him fall in love with her. Consid- ering the fact that her ragged. un- kenpt appearance is offensive to the fastidious Englishman, the ulti- mate accomplishment of her pur- pose is monumental achievement.
 The role of the courageous, fam ing gypsy woman marks the return of Miss Dietrich to films after a long absence.

LA55IE STARS IN
 HILLS OF HOME"
 ON CAPITOL BILL

LaSsie, the fascinating, almost human dog star. comes into his own again on the Capitol Theatre screen as the hero of Hills of Home to be seen tomorrow Mon- day and Tuesday.
 The absorbing Technicolor drama is of Scotch doctor in a moun- tainous sheep-raising village and his tattle to turn a farmers son into doctor despite his fathers opposition.
 It is Lassie who turns the scales in the conflict between Dr. William Mcclure (Edmund Gwenn and farmer Milton (Rhys Williams) when he becomes the guinea pig" in an experiment involving the use of the then little-known chloro- form. Convinced of its worth, Mac Lure is able to use the chloroform to save the life of Milton's son, Tammas (Tom Drake) and in grati- tude Milton permits the boy to full fill his lifelong ambition to study medicine. It is also Lassie who, branded a coward because of his inexplicable fear of water, finally redeems himself in the pictures sllspense-packed climax in which he brings aid to his injured master by guiding the search party across tumultuous, storm-swept stream.

lynching legislation. the annual
number OF deaths by mob vio-
lence has been drastically reduc-
ed from 100 at that time 10 two
last year.
Directly traceable TO the work
OF the Association is the vastly
expanded southern Negro vote
which in 1909 had all but dissp-
peared in the sub-Potomac states
from Virginia TO Texas. The Ne
gro's right to vote was re-estab-
lished by a series Of court actions,
instituted by the NAACP, inval-
idating the devious devices EN-
ployed by the southern states TO
disfranchise colored citizens.
Aiiaeked Army
The campaign against lynching
and the hard-fought battle for the
vote are but two of the important
achievements of the NAACP.
Working always within the con-
stitutional framework OF our gov
ernment, the Association has con-
Quoted its battle against discrim-
ination and segregation through
legal action, legislative pressure
and an educational campaign.
II has won for increasing num-
bers of Negroes the right to live
where they choose, the right to
secure a decent education, the
right TO aspire TO the vocation
they prefer and to seek training
for these vocations, and the right
to a fair trial. II has made pro-
gress in combating discrimination
in the armed forces, in attacking
Jim Crow in interstate travel and
in equalizing teachers salaries.
Seeks Million Dollar Fund
In its legislative program, the
Association has pressed for civil
rights and other social welfare
legislation and has spearheaded
the fight for amendment OF SEN
ate rules TO prevent filibusters
against such legislation.
Through its youth program, II
has concentrated on training
Young people for leadership. In
its church program, il has pro-
NOTED the cooperation Of church
groups with the NAACP in a
common program for social vel
fare.
Internationally. the Associa-
tion has opposed imperialism in
every form and was represent
ed by lis secretary. Waller
White. as a non. governmental
adviser 10 the United States
delegation 10 fhs Paris session
of me United Nations General
Assembly.
In its 40th anniversary year,
the NAACP, which has derived
its financial support from mem
berships and small contributions.
is seeking a Million Dollar Fund
to insure the continuance and ex-
pansion of the program envision-
ed by the founders. Although the
NAACP goal is now within sight.
the line is yet to be crossed. At
tainment Of that goal remains
among democracy's unfinished
business. Increased resources in
membership and contributions
will make possible the completion
OF that task undertaken 40 years
ago and carried on unremitting-
lv during that period by the Ma
tional Association for the Ad-
vancemcnt of Colored People.
