Basil Rathbone, no longer the suave villain, plays a truly ro- mantic role for the first time in his screen career, and contributes a performance which stamps him as versatile actor of unusual attain- ments. The leading feminine role is portrayed by Marion Claire, famous radio singer, who gives every prom- ise of future screen stardom. The explosive Italian, Henry Armetta, is vastly humorous in a characteriza- tion that is literally a comedy gem. Others in the big cast who do es- pecially commendable work are Ralph Forbes, Leon Errol, Donald Meek, Leonid Kinskey and Herbert Rawlinson. Much of the action of “Make a Wish,” adapted from an original story by Gertrude Berg, takes place at a boys’ summer camp in Maine, where Bobby forms a close friend- ship with Basil Rathbone, a com- poser. Rathbone becomes interested in the boy's lovely young mother, Marion Claire, and a romance de- velops between the two, despite her flance, Ralph Forbes. This tangled | situation reaches a tensely drama- tic climax in her New York home and at the rehearsal of an oper- etta.

OO OO 00 M { Lo e |HOW HITLER GOT THERE : Iron Ruler of Germany’s Seventy-five Million Persons First Tempered in Firein World War Great events can best be under- stood if one understands the men behind them. Behind the great events in Europe today stands Adolph Hitler., Morgan Beatty, student of men and events, here now tells the re- markable story of Hitler's career and reports what the biograph- ers and commentators say about him. This is the first of Beatty’s three articles. By MORGAN M. BEATTY AP Feature Service Writer If Barnum were alive and running | a wax works of famous living men, he probably would bill Adolf Hitler as the greatest human enigma 01‘ all time. | That, of course, would be a Barn- um exaggeration, but it would be a showman's way of explaining the) unpredictable man who is dictator over 75,000,000 Germanic peoples. For whatever else one may think about Hitler he certainly is a puzzle—more so than other fa- mous dictators, | Even the beginning of his life present contradictions, a tempting field for students of human char- acter. The Hitler ancestral home is Spittal, Austria, across the border from Germany. The region is peo- pled with honest, illiterate peas- ants, whose tragedy has long been poverty and inbreeding. | Father Strong-Willed Hitler's father, Alois, is pic-| tured by biographers as a strong- willed cobbler who obtained 2| financial nest egg when he mar- ried the first of three wives. Then | he wangled an Austrian civil ser- vice job, and started a family,| moving from town to town along the border as a customs inspector. | In a few years, the first Mrs. Hitler | died, and Alois took a second wife.| She lived only a few months after | the marriage. One day, the widowed Alois spied tall .dark-eyed Clara Poelzl, | a young woman who had been housemaid for the first Mrs. Hit- ler. Clara had left her rural home for Vienna in her teens. Now she was back, a mature woman. | Although Alois Hitler was more| than forty and fond of tavern eve-| nings, he pursued and | married | Clara Poelzl, and their first child| was Adolf Hitler. He was born in| 1889 in Braunau, another border | |town. Most accounts agree the| elder Hitler thought Adolf some- thing of a weakling. | Certainly Adolf was a sensitive | child, and now that he has become a national leader, biographers have dug up gossip and incidents about his early life that seemed to fore- shadow coming events. Censtant Cry For Union One of the earliest pictures you get of Hitler is that of an intense lad standing on a moon-drenched hillside, bawling a political speech: to a couple of fruit trees. School- mates hidden nearby giggled theiv enjoyment—and told the story to a curious world years later. Again you are told that Hitler’s border birthplace was a natural spot to develop any political sense he may have had, for along the border was heard the constant cry for a2 union of all Germanic peo- ples—a dream Hitler himself has only now brought close to reality. The next thing you know, the lad Hitler is being expelled from school for smoking. That's odd, | | for Hitler, the man, neither smokes nor drinks. | Later Hitler attended a Catholic | monastery school and there devel-| oped a taste for music and art—es- | | pecially art. This roiled Alois who | told Adolf he was to follow in his father's footsteps in the civil ser- vice. He punctuated the declara-| tion with a spanking. | The young Hitler obviously pre-| ferred his mother. This favoritism | seemed to develop in him into a| reverential love for her, and a/ positive dislike of his father. Cer-| tain it is he fought shy in later life of alcohol and over-eating, both 1liked, say biographers, by the elder Hitler. Fared Badly As Artist When Adolf was 13, his father | died and the son continued his| different progress, and leaning more | heavily toward that art career. Al-| though his mother was slowly dying | of cancer she determined Adolf | should settle the course of his life | #n his own way. She helped him go| | to Vienna to study art when he was 117, In a year or so the young painter, | dubbed “handsome Adolf,” tried to enter the Vienna School of Fine Arts but was turned down twice.| Then his mother died. | For five years he lived from pillar to post, earning his bread as a hack artist, house painter, paper | hanger. “In the years 1909-10," he wrote, “I had so far improved my condition as not to have to earn |my daily bread as an assistant| worker. I was working indepen- dently as a draughtsman and paint- | er in water colors.” He was also dipping into history |and economics, and attending po- litical meetings now and then |Once, he says, he came across a being in a long caftan, with black side-locks. “My first thought was: Is that a Jew?” And then, “Is that a German.” He studied the Semitic lquestwn a long time, he says, be- | Kraft, radio engineer.

The pres- ent studios in the Goldstein Build-| ing will remain the main studios and will be enlarged and modernized, Kraft said. The transmitting station at the rock dump will be a concrete-stucco structure one story high. The new tower, to be erected at the end of the dump will be 255 feet high. Change in wattage will put KINY at 1430 on the radio dial instead of 1310 kilocycles. Work is expected to be arted with steamshovels, grading a level spot for the station, and pouring concrete for foundations within the next week or two, Kraft said. e LINGOS LEAVE M:. and Mrs, George A.
