The Saint’s Double
Trouble.
‘The Saint’s Double Trouble"
ta'-est melodrama in the popular
Kim series depicting the ama-
zrng exploits of one af fiction’s
audacious heroes, brings
George Sanders again in the
colourful role of Simon Templar,
The Saint.
As the story opens The Saint
Knds himself in Philadelphia
'where he has come to visit an
oldtime friend, a college profes-
sor. He learns, however, that a
man who is his perfect double
has preceded him,, has killed a
man on the premises and left
a clue identifying The Saint with
^he murder. The police immed-
iately launches a search for the
Notorious Saint, and even the
Professor himself, as well as his
Pretty daughter, cannot help but
suspect him.
The Saint, determined to clear
himself and to apprehend the
real criminal, calls on inspector
Ternack whose past experience
With the lone wolf makes him
ln a sense a friendly-enemy.
he audacious avenger asks the
inspector for forty-eight hours to
solve the crime in his own fas-
hion.
Thus does the danger-loving
crime-buster take to the trail of
the criminal who so resembles
him and makes use of his rem-
arkable likeness to carry out sch-
emes of crime. He quickly le-
arns that the impostor is leader
of a well-organized smuggling
ring illegally importing diamonds
from Africa, the latest of which
booty was secreted in a mummy
innocently received by the coll-
ege professor.
From this point on The Saint’s
adventures are exciting to the
utmost. He poses as the daring
ringleader, is captured, only to
escape in time to save the pe-
dagogue’s beautiful daughter, and
eventually leads the smuggler in-
to a trap which brings about the
latter’s death at the hands of the
police who are under the im-
pression that they have killed
the notorious Simon Templar.
Throughout the chain of thrill-
ing, melodramatic events is wov-
|en a unique romance, carried by
George Sanders as the gay des-
perado and Helene Whitney, as
cthe professor’s daughter. Other
noted players vitally involved in
the vivid action are Jonathan
Hale, as inspector Fernack, Bela
Lugos, as the smuggler’s acc-
omplice. Donald MacBride, as a
deceive; John F. Hamilton, as
another henchman, and Thomas
ftoss as the professor. And, of
course, George Sanders also pla-
ys the role of the sinister gang
'leader. < 1 i

Note: We apologise to our read-
ers for having published this not-
ice last week in error.
After we had gone to press the
management of the cinema were
obliged to change the opening
date.
The film will be shown some
time next week.
The bravery of men who give
their lives that others may live
is brought to the screen in Co-
lumbia’s „Coast Guard", hailed
by Hollywood as one of the most
thrilling and dramatic records ever
to be screened. Story of the Uni-
ted States Coast Guard, the new
film comes to the Nyja Bio this
week, with Randolph Scott, Fran-
ces Dee, Ralph Bellamy and
Walter Connolly featured.
Authentic and spectacular
scenes provide the background
against which the romantic story
is painted. Magnificent episodes
in which the Coast Guard car-
ries on its multiplicity of duties
Der Fuehrer’s
master.
Seven years ago a strange en-
counter took place in Essen, Ger-
many. Dr. Krupp von Bohlen and
Halbech, director of the Fredrich
Krupp Aktiengesellschaft, Ger-
many’s foremost armament plant,
controller of an international net-
work of finance and industry,
shook hands with a pale sloppy
nervoUs-eyed man in a raincoat.
That handshake made Adolf Hitl-
er Chancellor of Germany. Fear-
ing the continuance of German
democracy, Krupp had put his
decisive weight in the scales
which were to soar the puppet
Hi ler to heights of world infamy.
Krupp kept behind' the scenes,
added millions to his millions,
enormously increased his wor,d
power, while Hitler and his Naz-
is strutted in the limeleght as
the ,masters of Germany. For
seven years, with Krupp’s power
behind him at home, Krupp’s in-
fluence and inferosts working for
him abroad, Hjtler has marched
from victory to victory. In July
last he returned to Essen and
paid official homage to his mast-
er Krupp. It was a public visit
— Hitler’s first public acknow-
ledgment of his debt to German
industrialists whose representat-
ive he is. But Hitler's subjects
are supposed to be National Soc-
ialists, and Nazi propaganda
since the war has been wordily
"anti-plutocratic". Not at a’l em-
barrassed, Hitler awarded Krupp
a golden Nazi party medal and
named the munitions king, _
“First Pioneer of Labour".
fedd a genuine thrill to the film.
The picture reveals the heroic
saga of the Coast Guard, with
their stations standing on, every
coastline of America, from out-
posts in Alaska to modern quar-
ters on the Gulf of Mexico. The
activities of the Service are c’ear-
ly shown; the cutters patrolling
the iceberg lanes of the North
Atlantic or guarding seals from
the depredations of poachers;
Aircraft wing over little-frequen-
ted shorelines and great ambu-
lance planes take seriously in-
jured men from ships at sea.
Storms, shipwrecks, floods, di-
saster at sea, hurricanes — these
are the elements from which the
stirring story of ’’Coast Guard" is
is taken.
The romance centres around
the whirlwind courtship of Miss
Dee, the grand daughter of Wal-
ter Connolly, sea-captain, by
Sro‘t, reckless pi’ot of a Coast
Guard ambirar.es p’ane, and Bel-
lamy. officer in the service.
