Farther toward Ventura boulevard is the mine—full of valuable movie ore, and providing the bone of contention in the plot. They are sheoting at the doorway of the big house. Basil Rathbone, in khaki shorts, biouse, helmet is rushing in, calling 5 “Helen! Helen!” and is met at the door by Helen (Barbara O'Neil) in khaki, boots and hat on, ready to go. The director, Rowland V. Lee, wears a battered straw hat, open shirt. He's waggish today. When Barbara and Basil, whose dialogue indicates they are about to flee together, have done the scene Lee says: “You look like Venus and Adonis.” It’'s their hats. To get their faces in, without too much hat, they've been running out of the camera like tango dancers poised cheek-to-cheek for a take-off. Two takes later, they've mastered it, managed an escape less graceful but more natural. “What'’s that whistling?” calls Lee.

ARMY CHIEF T0 VISIT BRAZIL; IS BLOW AT NAZIS| | and musical and Ginger and , mant yries; WASHINGTON, May latest Administration move for darity in the Americas, the War Department completed arrange- ments to send the Army’s prospec- tive Chief of Staff to Brazil aboard the cruiser Nashville. Administration sources said Brig Gen. Geo C. Marshall, who slated to assume the top ranking army post in September, would sail from New York for Rio de Janeiro | at once. He will be the official Gen. Aurelio De Goes Brazilian Chief of Staff, for about a week. The Brazilian nmander is expected to return with him for a visit to the United States. Marshall's trip, Administration sources indicated, was arranged at least partly to offset a move by Nazi Germany to woo Brazil. Gen- 1 Marshall was invited after Ger- many had invited General Monteiro to receive henors in the Reich. In another move to cement rela- tions with Latin America, diplo- matic clearances were being ar- ranged for a demonstration flight of ja new model American military plane through Central and South America. The plane, a two-motor Lockheed, {is expected to leave Brownsville, |Tex., soon with a crew of seven {officials were advised. The route extends through Central America, guest of Monteiro. erica to Argentina. The craft is of the same general |{type as a model ordered for the expanding army air corps, but the| {flight will be under commercial rather than official auspices. Offi- cials were advised a camera would be carried but not actual military equipment, such as bomb racks.
