Movie Revues “‘TIL WE MEET AGAIN” IS OFFERED AT BIJOU “’Til We Meet Again”, co-star ring Merle Oberon and George Brent, makes its local showing to day at the Bijou theatre. Featured in the stellar cast are Pat O’Brien, Geraldine Fitzgerald, Binnie Barnes and Frank McHugh. The poignant and tender love story begins in Hong Kong. At the Bar of All Nations, Dan and Joan, (the roles played by Brent and Miss Oberon), meet over a cocktail. It is a hail and farewell meeting, for she is sailing back to San Francisco immediately. They part, and Dan runs straight into the waiting hands of Steve Burke (Pat O’Brien), a detective who has trailed him all over .the world since Dan, sentenced to death for murder, had escaped on his way to San Quentin. So Dan and Joan meet again on the boat, but she doesn’t know he’s a prisoner, for Burke allows him the freedom of the ship. A cartoon, “Lucky Duck,” and the latest News Reel complete the program. 4 “SO YOU WON’T TALK’’ IS FEATURED AT ROYAL Joe E. Brown returned to the Royal theatre yesterday to fill a gaping void in the screen comedy scene, a void which resulted when he was severely injured in an au tomobile accident several months ago. Since that time there has been, until “So You Won’t Talk?’1 opened yesterday, no comedy of that peculiar genre, half-way be tween sophistication and bui lesque, which is Joe E. Brown’s specialty. “So You Won’t Talk?” presents the open-mouthed star in one of his most delightful roles—or ra ther, in two of his most delightful roles. As a timid book critic who hides his inferiority complex be hind a beard, Joe E. Brown again proves himself a major exounent of the “willing, eager and unfor tunate ’’school of philosophy whose members inevitably get them selves into difficult situations and hilariously contrive to get, them selves out again. As a tight-lipped mobster newly released from pri son, Rrown proves himself as bril liant a dramatic actor as he is a comedy star. The dual nature of his starring performance in "So You W o n’t Talk?” involves a great deal more than merely the portraiture of two dissimilar characters. Brov-n is called upon, at times, to appear as the killer masquerading as the critic, and as the critic masquer ading as the killer. That he tri umphantly succeeds was attested to by the absorbed Royal theatre audience, who found in irequent and hilarious laughter a pleasant escape from the ingenious com plications of the well-told film. Frances Robinson, lovely young starlet, is seen to perfection as Joe E. Brown’s leading lady, and other valuable members of the cast of the new comedy include Bernard Nedell. Vivienne Osborne and Tom Dugan. The show remains today for the Thanksgiving holiday and is ex cellent vacation fare. Royal Varie ties has a Musical and Color Pa rade to round out a bang-up show. LOY AND DOUGLAS STAR IN CAROLINA FEATURE Myrna Loy, teamed for the first time with Melvyn Douglas, aban dons her role as the “perfect wife” to keep the man who made Garbo laugh in continuous hot water in “Third Finger, Left Hand,” hilar ious story of a romantic mix-up, opening today at the Carolina theatre. Miss Loy plays a magazine edi I tor who, because her boss’ wife is jealous, invents a mythical hus band whom she’s supposed to be trying to find to get a divorcf. The deception is perfect until Douglas, who has learned about it and is in love with her, blandly shows up and assumes the role of the missing spouse. Her family likes him. She doesn’t—and pro ceed" to keep him in all manner of trials and tribulations. She scan dalizes Niagara Falls on their “honeymoon.” He inv ’.es another couple to join them in a “double honeymoon.” Her attorney plans ways and means of getting her a divorce so that he can marry her himself. And all three start to wards Reno together. Put after all the laugh-packed troubles they go through, Myrna and Melvyn find they’ve really beer in love with each other all along. The cast includes Lee Bowman,t latest discovery in leading men, as the attorney. Raymond Wal burn is seen as Miss Loy’s father. Donald Meek, eccentric apiarist and detective in the Nick Carter series, plays an equally eccentric and comical art dc ler. Felix Bressart, of “Ninotchka” and “Shop Around the Corner” fame, adds more laughs to the situa tions as the art editor who helps Myrna in her deceptions. Bonita Granvile, erstwhile child actress, plays her first sub-deb role as Miss Loy’s very active younger sister. Ann Morriss and’ other fea tured players unite to keep the comedy pot boiling at full steam. As addtd attractions, Walt Dis ney’s cartoon, “The Window Cleaners” and News ,f the Day will be presented. 4 Two Negroes Arrested In Kirkland Liquor Raid ABC agents and sheriff’s depu ties yesterday reported the arrest of two negroes and the seizure of a quantity of illicit whiskey in a raid conducted at Kirkland. Officers said Henry Nixon and Thelma Simmons, negroes, were ar rested on charges of violating the liquor laws and reported the seizure of six half gallon jars of non-tax paid liquor in a house occupied by the negress. J RUMANIAN IRON GUARDS KILL 64 POLITICAL FOES (Continued From Page One) Codreanu’s grave in the yard for the execution. (Listed among the victims were a former premier, General George Argesanu, former minister of se curity General Gabriel Marinescu, former military intelligence chief General Bengliu, former supreme court president Radu Pascu, and General Moruzow, credited with building up King Carol’s espionage system. All were high in the coun cils of the ousted Carol regime.) . It was reported here that Prof. Virgil Madgearu, former minister of finance and veteran of other cabinet posts as a peasant party leader, had been found slain in the forest near Bucharest. (Ap parently he was one of the purge victims, though the Bucharest dis patch was silent on this point.) The affair has its genesis in the Iron Guard’s early struggles for power, when, on Nov. 30, 1938, Codreanu and 13 of his imprisoned followers were killed at Jilava. The . Carol regime listed their deaths as executions for attempted escape; the Iron Guard says they were strangled without provoca tinn. Released Tonight's government communi que said that after the killings this morning, former" premiers Gheorghe Tatarescu, Ion Gigurtu and Constantine Argetoianu and former War Minister Gheorghe Ilasievici were placed in protective custody but were released tonight. No mention was made of other arrests, but scores were rumored. Nicolas Lupu, head of the spe cial supreme court which had been created to try the political prison ers now dead, has resigned his post. It was reported that an Iron Guard who recently tried to help General Marinescu escape from Jilava, and who was himself im prisoned, had committed suicide in his cell. Vice Premier Sima, in appealing to the Guardists, said: "The only law must be that of saving our fatherland. Every independent ac tion endangers the country and will be punished. I order every Legionnaire to follow the orders of his leader, who always orders what is right . . . comrades, order and discipline are our watchwords.” Earlier. Sima renewed the pledge of guardist obedience to General Antonescu. The minister of justice mean while significantly directed justice department officials as well as po lice to stand by for possible spe cial orders. ‘CURB’ ON ARNOLD DEMANDED BY AFL (Continued From Page One) mittee was ready to confer with the Congress of Industrial Organ zations on labor peace, decided to continue “assistance” to unor ganized workers. The adopted resolutions com mittee report stated: “Regardless of the trend taken by peace negotiations, it is manda tory that the AFL make use of all ite agencies so that trade uniouism may be brought to the assisance of those at present unorganized.” But president William Green, in a brief addrees of gratitude for the return to the AFL of the Inter national Ladies Garment Workers which came back to the fold last June after helping organize the CIO. declared: “We express the hope that others who have left us will now be suf ficiently disillusioned and coura geous to do as the ILGWU did and turn their face to us, open the door and come back home to the AFL during the next year.” The report, however, did not in dicate in a single phrase that the AFL intended any further step to ward settling the differences which have kept it at arm’s length from the CIO since 1935.
