WHO'S
NEWS
THIS
WEEK
By LEMUEL F. PARTON
N EW YORK.—Early this year,
Germany and Italy were mak
ing vigorous efforts to swing Brazil
into their lineup, perhaps knowing
_ ^ „ better than the
Brazil General’s rest 0 f the
Plea for Unity world what
HnrtauU.S. ’ a J ahead -
There were
disquieting reports of their progress,
later offset by more comforting
news and now quite definitely
scotched, it would appear. The cur
rent insistence of General Pedro
Aurelio Goes Monteiro that there
must be continental unity in the
Western hemisphere is the most def
initely responsive message that our
state department has yet obtained
in its overtures to Latin-America.
“We mast be prepared to
face any eventuality/' says the
general, “and to ward off at- '
tacks against this continent of
liberty and tolerance."
He is known as the “General
Grant of Brazil," this tag being due
to his suppressing the San Paolo
revolt in 1932, and disclosing a pen
chant for co-operation with the
government thereafter. Washington
made a great fuss over him, when
he was here last July, having pre
vailed over Germany in an encoun
ter of international tuft-hunting—
Germany was readying a big party
for him, but he stopped off here,
instead.
Fifty years old, round-faced
and amiable, he is professional
soldier, but bears none of the
impress of the military career-
% ist. He moved up slowly through
' grades in the army, and did not
become a captain until 1924. He
became chief of staff in 1932,
commanding an army of 65,000.
•In 1936, his son, Lieut. Pedro
Aurelio Goes Monteiro Jr., was
killed in an airplane accident. He
has one daughter.
\7iISCOUNT GORT, commanding
. * the British forces in France, is
only 53 years old and therefore es
caped War Minister Leslie Hore-
» •*• a Belisha’s army
British Oldsters youth move-
Reossured by ment of 1937.
Gen. Gort on Job 5*. was one , of
Kitchener ’ s
men in the early days of the World
war, a staff officer, in many en
gagements, honored with the Mili
tary cross, the Victoria cross and
the Distinguished Senrice order. He
is rather slight iii stature,' with
thinning hair, quietly unassuming,
given to reserve in manner and
quiet, easy speech.
He was trained at Sandhurst,
and in the World war gained a
reputation as a shrewd strate
gist, capable of scoring with
out sacrificing too many men.
He is distinctly of the pre-1914
school of army tradition, and
that has been a matter of con
siderable satisfaction in Eng
land.
Septuagenarians, whispering in
their clubs, complained that this
young Hore-Belisha, only 43, was
raising the very devil with the
army. With the sixth Viscount Gort
still on the job, there is reassur
ance.
T HERE seems to be a bit of nov
elty in a college course on how
not to get hysterical in wartime.
President Ralph C. Hutchison, pres-
_ ,, _ _ ident of Wash-
College Offers ington and
Course in Sanity Jefferson col-
In Time of War le «'. quite
given to aca
demic innovations, announces the
course, or rather courses, with
four faculty members teaching four
courses, each yielding full college
credit. Origins and inducements of
war, the propaganda build-up .and
. particularized information on any
particular war which might be in
the offing will be elaborated to boost
calm reason and prevent “mass
hysteria."
It was in 1933 that Dr. Hutchi
son told a state convention of
New Jersey school teachers that
“education in high schools, col
leges and universities has be
come the great American rack
et." His idea, later expounded
and amplified, is that the above
is made manifest by the appall
ing number of college graduates
who are just a jump or two
ahead of the police in “defalca
tions, corrupt practices, munic
ipal graft" and the like.
He is a former Presbyterian min
ister of Florissant, Colo., president
of W. & J. since 1932.

Golden Banquet Hall
The Golden Banquet chamber of
the city hall of Stockholm, Sweden,
has mosaic walls against a back
ground of glittering gold. Over a
million tiny pieces of colored stones
went to make the decoration and
each separate piece gleams on the
visitor.
Oops! Don’t Stop Now—It Might Be Dangerous
.They're not prodding each other on, these soldiers of Soviet Russia’s red army. They’re marching to the
west. Russia already has taken over the Polish Ukraine and the Polish section of White Russia. An unknown
quantity in the war, the red army 4s Europe’s largest from the standpoint of numbers.
Fine! Says Germany; Hooey! Says England.
This incident of the war in Poland was passed by both German and English censors. Under the picture,
the German caption said of Hitler: “The leader and supreme commander of the armored forces appeared
unexpectedly among his soldiers, whilst they crossed the 'Vistula river. He was in the front line and was
greeted with great enthusiasm." The English censor added a note: “This picture, dated from Germany, shows
hardly anybody in full war kit." ,

Maps show how Germany’s expansion the past five years has created
a nation far larger than the kaiser’s pre-war empire. Principal World
war losses were Alsace Lorraine, to France; the Polish corridor, Posen
and Upper Silesia to Poland; Danzig, which became a free city, and
the Rhineland, demilitarized. All but Alsace Lorraine have now been
recaptured, although Polish seizures are not recognized and therefore not
shown on the 1939 map. Germany has also seized Austria and most of
the former Czecho-Slovakia. Germany is still below her pre-war size, how
ever, because all foreign colonies were confiscated at Versailles.

Japan’s New Premier
As visual proof that England’s humor isn’t dead, these members of
the London balloon barrage, trying to select a suitable name for their
canteen, decided that “Berchtesgaden" would be just the thing. Berchtes-
gaden, Germany, is the Bavarian retreat of Adolf Hitler.
Nobuyuki Abe, Japan’s new pre
mier, succeeded Kiichiro Hiranuma
to that post when the Japanese cab
inet resigned in a body following
announcement of the German-Rus-
sian pact. Abe was briefly acting
war minister in 1928, and retired in
1936. “Japan," Abe said upon tak
ing office, “will have a troubled
future.”

By Virginia Vale
W AR pictures of all varie
ties* are on their way to
your neighborhood theater or
one near it. Some are new,
some are old.^.Those of us who
were going to movies during
the last war will recognize in
some everything but the actors
as products of the past. How
ever, with sound, and new peo
ple going through the motions,
no doubt theyTl seem new
enough.
“The Road Back" is to be re
issued by Universal, with the
scenes that were deleted when the
picture was made in 1937 because
of an official request that they be
omitted, in a desire not to annoy
Germany.
It looks as if Gary Cooper might
as well reconcile himself to wear
ing a uniform whenever he steps in
front of a camera. His current pic
ture, “The Real Glory," presents
him as an American lieutenant in
the medical corps, way back in 1906.
He’ll begin work shortly in “Black
out Over Europe," which deals
with air raids in the present war.
*
Andrea Leeds has announced her
engagement, and not to an actor.
It’s to be hoped that marriage won’t
mean her giving up her career; she
has come so fast in so short a time.
ANDREA LEEDS
Rising to fame with a scream in
“Stage Door," she’s gone right
along; in “The Real Glory" shq
gives an excellent performance.
The March of Time is stepping
into the full-length feature field with
“The Ramparts We Watch,” based
on the book by Major George Field
ing Eliot. According to the an
nouncement, it “brings to the screen
a new production idea in feature
pictures with a realistic plot that
carries a terrific impact in view of
the events in Europe today." Work
started about the middle of Septem
ber in New London, Conn., and the
picture will have no connection with
the regular March of Time issues.
*
Many a girl would like to know
Joan Fontaine’s formula for getting
what she wants. She does it every
time. She married Brian Ahearne,
causing several young actresses in
New York and points west to gnaw
the woodwork in rage. Now she’s
slated for the lead in “Rebecca,"
for which many tests were made
and many wires were pulled. Olivia
de Haviland’s younger sister seems
to be doing all right for herself,
while Olivia goes right along, look
ing perfectly beautiful in costume
pictures and confining romance to
the screen.
—*—
Maybe those spectacular musical
pictures will return to the screen,
if you show that you like them. “On
your toes," with Zorina, will act as
a thermometer; if audience approv
al shows that the temperature is
right, there’ll be more like it.
Grace Moore may do one called
“Say It With Music," incorporating
incidents from her own life and a
lot of Irving Berlin’s music. Inci
dentally, Miss Moore once again
proved herself the darling of the
ship news reporters, when she re
turned from Europe recently; she
always makes a statement that
makes the headlines, whether she’s
sailing away or sailing home. This
time she was going to rush back to
France and join an ambulance corps
—after she finished engagements to
sing in concert and opera, etc.
&
Johnny Green, who used to wave
the baton for Columbia pictures,
and does now for the Johnny Pre
sents programs on the air, has
proved that he is a serious com
poser. He has finished a concerto,
“Music for Elizabeth," which Jose
Iturbi (that veteran of the Bing Cros
by hour) will introduce at Carnegie
Hall this season. “Elizabeth" hap
pens to be Mrs. Johnny Green as
well as Betty Furness of the films.
*
ODDS AND ENDS—Kaye Kayser re
fused recently to play “Over There,'* feels
that all marches and military mufic should
be burred in this country at present . . .
Raymond Paige is collecting voice record
ings of dignitaries and statesmen involved
in the current crisis . . . Gracie Allen's
been indulging in a shopping splurge, buy
ing frocks to wear before the microphone
. . . But Beatrice Kay, of “Columbia's Gay
Nineties Revue," just digs into her great-
aunts' trunks; she came up with a pair of
red cotton stockings with lace inserts the
other afternoon.
