Working with Can- adian officers, they smashed an in- | ternational ring of gold thieves and smugglers who in three years had bhought “high graded” (stolen) nuggets from Canadan mines and smuggled them into the United States to the tune of $3,000,000. Thanks to the Secret Service “Know Your Money” campaign, the first six months of war found it rough going for the counterfeiters, making it less likely that enemy nations can get away here with financing fifth column activities and sabotage with counterfeit money as they did in many of ‘the conquered nations. and war News of Douglas young men en- listed in military service just re- ceived holds interest for two in particular, George Stragier and Douglas, Wahto, and affords justi- fiable pride for their many friends and especially their folks. The former recently completed his first solo flight at Sana Ana, California, and the latter training with commando forces, in Helena, Montana made his first parachute Jjump. The “good neighbor policy” was called into play for Treasury’s greatest counterfeiting haul. Work- ing with Mexican police and with weveral of its own investigating agencies cooperating, the Treas- ury captured an internationally known counterfeiter in Mexico City. His plant was complete, agents said, for the manufacture of $50 and $100 U. S. notes, as well as Mexican currency.

The cast is headed by Wendy Hiller, Robert Morley and Rex Har- rison. Miss Hiller is the brilliant star who won international acclaim for her performance in “Pygma- lion,” while Morley is remembered for his brilliant work as the un- happy Louis XVI opposite Norma Shearer in “Marie Antoinette.” Rex Harrison, who is known as Eng- land’s Gary Cooper, plays the ro- mantic lead opposite Miss Hiller. The supporting + cast, which also reads like a Who's Who of filmdom, features Emlyn Williams, Marie Lohr, Penelope Dudley Ward, David Tree, Sybil Thorndike and Miles Malleson. Dartington Hall, a model farm and school community located in the heart of Devon, was selected by Pascal as the ideal spot to photo- graph the great munitions city| owned by Undershaft in the film. Dartingion Hall is famous through- out the world for its ultra-modern school and it provided, ready made, the exact realization of the social experiment as conceived by Shaw. It is a self-supporting community with its own sawmills, textile de- partment, farms and schools, to- gether with the white-walled cot- tages used by the actual employees on the estate.
