Brown in "Fit tor a dorf who dares to oppose the Nazi regime. In spite of threats against himself and against Ms beautiful daughter Pastor Hall remains firm in his beliefs and fearlessly refuses to accept the pagan pressure of the new German order. As the conflict mounts, the complications increase because the leading Storm Trooper has fallen in love with the Pastor's daughter, thus making her a pawn in the gripping struggle which ensues. The story thus reaches a climax filled with thrills and drama and the picture ends on a note of high-pitched excitement Because Mrs. Franklin Delano Roosevelt, wife of the President, considered "Pastor Hall" one of the most important and most powerful films to have been produced recently, the First Lady became a motion picture actress for the first time in her many-faceted career.

Mrs. Roosevelt made her film debut by appearing in a prologue to the picture which wis written by Robert E. Sherwood, famous playwright. In this prologue, Mrs. Roosevelt says: the story of 'Pastor Hall', of his undying faith, his unconquerable courage is the story of all men who love freedom and Justice so deeply' that they ate pre-pared to live eternally for their convictions.

rel, make up, fall in love and marry. The star can't stand the thought of her husband's taking the desperate chances his profession requires. At her request, he gives it up and looks for another and less hazardous job, but cant find one. Even his efforts to become an actor meet with ridicule. When another stunt-man is killed doing a crash scene he thinks he should have performed himself, he can stand the strain no longer.

Against his wife's entreaties, he sets out with his 'plane on a barnstorming exhibition around the country, while the star tries every means she can think of to bring him back, but without success. When at last he does return, compelled by an injury to give up flying and take a ground Job, he believes his wife is in love with his former assistant A surprising and dramatic outcome of this complication makes the exciting conclusion of this timely film. Kent Taylor, a pilot himself in private life, is said to give an unusually convincing -performance as the husky stunt-man. Miss Hayes shares leading honors with him in a role that allows full use of her dramatic talents. The supporting cast includes Howard da Silva, Ralph Morgan, Don Dilla-way, Lee Phelps and Alec Craig.

Revealing much of the behind-the-scenes methods employed in filming dangerous stunts for the screen, "I'm Still Alive" also discloses what the littler known stunt-men themselves are like, and how they feel about their hazardous occupation.

Te rmls British Com mohweqlth Greatest Stabilizing Factor Dayid de Waal Meyer Addresses Members Of Kiwanis Glub at Ottawa Luncheon "The British Commonwealth of. Nations is the greatest stabilizing, factor In a world gone said David de Waal Meyer, accredited representative of the Union of South Africa, at a luncheon meeting of the Kiwanis Club on Friday. Mr.

Meyer was the third speaker in a series entitled "The Empire's Modern "The close co-operation of the Empire countries had enabled Great Britain to carry on against Hitler and now the United States was giving all possible assistance the horizon is getting said Mr. Meyer. Gives Five Reasons. Mr. Meyer emphasized five reasons, recently given by a cabinet minister of the Union of South Africa, why the British nations would emerge victorious from the great conflict The reasons were the might of the Royal Navy and the mercantile marine; the strength of Great Britain as an island fortress; the assistance now being given by the United States; the gallantry of the Royal Air Force which would prove the decisive factor in the war, and the moral factor which in war was more important than anything else.

The diplomat's speech principally concerned South Africa's part in the conflict and he said in order' to understand the position of the Union it was necessary to understand its composition. He spoke of the French Huguenots settling in the country in the 17th century after a colony had been started by sturdy Hollanders, and the settling of the English Some years later with its unpleasant results. Relationship More Pleasant After the Boer War the relationship with the British became, more pleasant and England gave them every opportunity of developing their own lives. The Union was formed in 1910 but there was still the cry for South Africa first from a large section of the population headed by General Hertzog. When the war started the situation was in doubt as to whether the Union would Join in the conflict or stay out of it until its freedom wss threatened.

When Hertzog was beaten in the House and' Smuts took over office, war was declared and South Africa fell in line with other Empire countries. The Government was now pledged tt aid Great Britain in every possible way although there remained a group which believed in a separate, peace. "But today I believe the feeling behind the war is much stronger than it wss a few months age. Many Incidents of horror are consolidating CINEMA TIME TABLE CAPITOL "City Tor Conqueat" 1J.43. tit.

She starts at the-rate of 180 words per minute and works up to 282. On the air, 250 words per minute considered just about the fastest that a commentator can. speak without falling over his own tongue. Joan read her lines without a single "fluff, and although sound recorder Gavin Burns confessed himself a little dazed. when he finished twirling the dials, he had to admit that no mistakes were made.

It Proved a Strain. Joan, however, wouldn't have cared to keep up that speed for any length of time, and confessed afterwards the strain on her vocal cords was such that she was advised to speak only in a whisper for several hours after completing the scene.
