AMS INVITATION DECLINED
_ NO REGRETS
The United States has at last
been offered a way out of the
international dilemma.
About all we have to do is set
up a dictator, kick out the Con
stitution. reject the fundament
al principles on which the na
tion was founded, set up concen
tration camps. persecute racial
minorities and religious sects,
swoop down on our neighbors on
•both American continents, scut
tle our pro-British sentiments
and agree that Hitler, Mussolini
and the Japanese are pretty good
guys after all.
That's all. Then we shall be
eligible to become part of the
bloody axis,
The invitation came from Mus
solini's newspaper Popolo D’lt
. alia. It is a slightly left-handed
1 invitation. It carries with it the
threat that if we are so silly as
to prefer our democratic way of
life and if we insist on shouting
loudly across the Atlantic how
much each of us in enjoying our
liberties, then the Axis — Ger
many. Italy and Japan — will
have to beat a little sense into
our heads.
America must realize the fact,
the paper says, that there’s a
new world order. We must con
cede the fact that the planet is
under new management, with
main offices in Berlin, Rome and
Tokio. If we are willing to agree
to this, our corner of the world
will be set asid: for our exclus
ive use—or at least for as long
a-; headquarters things we are
behaving.
You see. there have been signs
lately that th. United Slates is
fo coming a little bit recalcitrant.
We’ve been shouting ch ering
words to the Bri! ns. We've been
u-ing our moral influence to
k p Hitler from quietly sinking
1 - • British Isles. That has been
i iced in t ta'itaric.n capitals,
< i the,c ha- h rn no end of
1 v ning and viewing with al
err.i.
So Italy thought maybe we
c 'h; to be warn d.
ay. we’ve b n warned. The
i" .ion to, join the Axis has
I reeciv d and p’aced on file.
1 no not -, r yet whether it’s
a implement to our slrmgth in

Roll Call
November 11-30
The annual American Nation
al Red Cross Roll Call will be
I held this year from November 11
to 30.
In view of the expanding dom
, pstic program of the Red Cross
‘national organization, its 3,721
.chapters and 0.58.1 blanches, and
the increasing necessity of fur
nishing aid to the expanding
military forces of this Nation—a
Charter obligation the Roll Call
this year has greater significance
than in previous years and will
need even greater support than
has been so willingly given in
the past.
Although the American Red
Cross recently successfully com
pleted a $20,000,000 European
War Relief Campaign, this fund
is ear-marked solely for relief
overs:as "while all funds receiv
ed through Red Cross member
ships during the Roll Cali period
are used entirely for domestic
purposes.
All Americans are urged to
join the ranks of the American
Red Cross so that its broad help
fulness may be extended to even
greater number of suffering hu
manity, at home and abroad. Cit
izens who join as- members of
their local chapters during the
Annual Roll Call are joining in
a work of mercy, which knows
no creed or race, which reaches
into millions of our homes in the
United States, and which ans
wers, within its resourc s the
pleas of homeless, starving,
wounded and orphaned refugees
in unhappy lands across the
seas. Victims of disaster at home
always have the first call on the
forces of thi Red Cross. Not only
is the Red Cross organized for
reli.f after catastrophe, but it car
ries on every day in the year
through its 3,700 Chapters all
over the nation, programs of
safety, nursing education and
farr-il.- i habilitation to prevent

Greek high command acknowledged that heavier Italan forces
Reinforced Greek troops were reported fighting staunchly on the
Albanian front where Italian troops had pierced the border (1) on
the line to Salonika and in the Epirus regions (2) where the It
alians asserted they had smashed 40 miles into the interior. The
were striking in the Epirus. Corfu (?) posed a mystery. Following
reports that British naval forces had landed on the island and that
an Italian force followed and engaged the British In combat, London
sources denied his Majesty’s forces had landed at Corfu.

HOLLYWOOD (Exclusive) —
“Spring Parade” is Deanna
Durbin’s eighth straight hit pic
ture—and her best— Cast: D-an
na Durbin, Robert Cummings,
Mischa Auer, Henry Stephenson
and S. Z. Sakall. Story: Of a
country girl who goes to Vienna
(in the old world) works in a
bakery and falls in love with an
army officer while trying to get
his musical efforts recognised
she gets in all sorts of trouble
with the Emperor (via sending
notes to him in tasty roles) S. Z.
Saks 11 a most steals the picture
as the kind-loving baker—he is
a close second to Miss Durbin—
H r voice never sounded more
j beautiful and the songs are
! grand.
“A Dispatch From Reuters”
presents Edward G. Robinson,
Edna Best, Eddie Albert, Albert
Basserman, Gene Lockhart, Otto
Kruger and Nigel Bruce in a
story of the present style of jour
nalism (and how it got that way)
The story of wire services. A Dis
patch from this desk to Warners
is —put Mr. Robinson in more
films like this one and keep him
out of ones like “Brother Or
chid.”
“The Western r” is a western
film that should appeal to those
who like these kind of pictures.
Cast: Gary Cooper, Walter Bren
nan, Doris Davenport, and Fred
S one. The Story: very trite and
moth-worn. Only th _ grand act
ing bv Mr. Cooper and Mr. Bren
nan save it from being a dull
film.
Filmatorial
What the movies need today
is new id '- s. New ideas means a
: complete charge in the type of
films b ing made today. It m^ans
n w ways of presenting old stor
ies. It means new technique. New
ways of photographing. New
ways of editing (cutting pictur
es) films. Developments in the
field of lighting. When th: silent
pictures were reaching their low
est ebb in the late twenties the'
talkies saved the day. Everyone
though color pictures would do
the same a few years back—but
so far they haven’t done a thing.
Maybe a new kind of color will
do the trick but at any rate
Hollywood needs to march on to
n:w ideas in pictures.
