Ac tress in "The Lady From Louisiana" Much has been written about the famous New Orleans lottery, which made the headlines back in the days of the 1880's, but Republic Pictures has stolen a march on the other film companies in' utilizing this fascinating background for photoplay purposes. "Lady From Louisiana," which opened at the Rio, presents John Wayne and Ona Munson in an absorbing photo drama of the era, with Henry Stephenson, Helen Westley, Ray Middleton and Jacqueline Dalya in prominent supporting roles.

Miss Munson portrays the beauteous Julie Mirbeau, whose father, General Mirbeau (Henry Stephenson) is owner and operator of the lottery, whose magic wheel spins fortune for the few and disappointment for the many. John Wayne portrays the role of the young Bostonian lawyer, who has been brought to New Orleans by the anti lottery league headed by Mrs. Brunot (Helen Westley), to smash the lottery and ruin its owners and operators. John and Ona inevitably meet and fall in love, but because of the conflicting position in which Fate has placed them, their love turns into spirited Ultimately the way is cleared for a most satisfactory working out of their problems, and the manner in which this is done makes for a most entertaining and absorbing photoplay. The Rio Theatre's other film is an exciting crime drama, War ner "Strange Alibi," the story of fearless detectives and their hazardous work.

In the leading role is Arthur Kennedy, "City For Conquest" discovery whom Hollywood picked from the Broadway stage. Beautiful, vivacious Joan Perry plays his heart interest and in the featured cast are Jonathan Hale and Florence Bates. An unusual turn in the story is given the fast paced narrative. The film deals with mob of gangsters and an ingenious young detective portrayed by Kennedy, out to get them.

A council of ministers was held today with Gen. Maxime Weygand, France's North African commander and expert on Syrian defense, attending. Vice Premier Admiral Jean Darlan, with whom Weygand was expected to confer today, was absent, however.

The North African commander conferred yesterday with Chief of State Marshal Philippe Petain. Today's War Picture (Continued From Paze 1) heart sick French armies of Syria against their former Allies, the British; intimations from German spokesmen that they will "permit" the French to have what is called the sacred right of fighting the British if the latter try to seize Syria from next door Iraq and Palestine; reports (denied by Ger mans) that the vanguard of motor ized Nazi desert fighting units already are in Syria; British predictions that France will give unto German protection all her pos sessions from Dakar to Damascus, No one need be surprised to see an Axis air borne attack on the British fortified island of Cyprus, less than 100 miles from Syria, by the Nazi planes which already squat on the air bases of Syria and Lebanon; or tremendous air raids on the Suez Canal, which is less than 300 miles from Damascus; or, eventually, a mechanized land assault on Haifa, headed for the canal, and a sweep of the Panzers and dive bombers into Iraq. The men and supplies for such land drives probably would have to come through Turkey to Syria, and not by sea, but the Germans are counting oh that. On the other side of Suez, French Tunisia is a useful extra base for tf ahsshipment of men and material for the eastward drive on the canal, once the Axis has plucked the hardy British thorn from its flank at Tobruk. Gibraltar on List Already, to M.

Darlan's inspired rage, the are attacking Axis munitions, and supply ships at Sf ax, Farther west visualize the Axis firmly controlling French Morocco and. Dakar, with Wey gand's African army pledged to immobility. Weygand, indeed, may have been, told today that he has no other, choice, lacking bullets, air power and supplies. Then the Axis might besiege Gibraltar which is of transcendent importance not only in the battle of the Mediterranean but in the battle of the Atlantic. Take away the powerful British fleet units which use the rock's deep harbor as a blockade base and the Ger mans would have a clean sweep of sea, hundreds of miles wide, through which, to move sea borne supplies from South America to Brest and in which boats and based on Dakar and Morocco, could.

attack British South Atlantic For those who. like to do their reading between the lines, Ad miral Darlan furnished rich ma terial Saturday with, two charges: (a) That Britain is responsible for splitting France, away from Italy, her Latin friends; (b) That France has lost to the British more money in ship tonnage than she has paid to the German forces of It is possible to speculate, then, that (a), Darlan is foreshadowing French acquiescence in the formation of a Latin bloc of France, Italy and Spain which the Axis keenly desires to make western Europe an Axis fortress; that (b) Dalan is saying, in effect, that France is being forced to let the Axis take over and "protect" the shipping she has left, plus the bases for their use. House Defeats Bottle Sales Bill to Legalize State Coal Quotas Sent Back to Committee The House last night defeated by a vote of 64 to 84 a move to revive the twice beaten bill to permit taprooms to sell bottled liquor for consumption off the premises after State liquor stores are closed. The vote came oh the request of Joseph Scanlon (D Phila.) for suspension of the rules to permit consideration of his bill with an amendment prescribing a $1000 fme for "bootlegging." The measure would have allowed taprooms to add 10 per cent, to liquor store prices. On the motion of Rep.

John F. Stank (D Northumberland) the House recommitted bills to require mining operations to be licensed by the mines department and allow six years for filing damage suits stemming from mine settlements. Both bills were sponsored by Edward M. Regan (D Lacka wanna). The licensing measure prescribed a $25,000 bond for coal operators and independents argued it would put them out of business.

Sent back to committee at the request of its co sponsor Rep. Leo A. Achterman, Democratic floor leader, was a bill to legalize the anthracite industry's voluntary production control plan. The measure was given second reading and Achterman asked that it be returned for further study, The Shamokin Independent Miners' Association has vigorously opposed the measure which pro vided that the State Commerce Department "promulgate" rules for the industry. Senate Passes Bill on Chief Assessors A bill providing for appoint ment of a chief assessor in fourth to eighth class counties won Sen ate approval today and was sent to the House by a vote of 37 to 9.

The measure also provided that three county commissioners would make up a board of assessment and revision to hear the appeals. They would also appoint the chief assessor who would direct the work of other assessors who would be elected as they now are. The Senate also approved 32 to 13 a bill authorizing treasurers in second to eighth class counties to appoint a solicitor whose salary would be paid by the county.

LaGuardia, national director of civilian defense, to address a State wide meeting of local defense council representatives to be held in Harrisburg late this month. A call for the meeting will be issued by Governor James, chairman of the State Council of Defense.
