Zanuck's production of "ThexRains Came," sensational novel bj Lonia Bromfield, con tinues at the Grand theatre today with Myrna Loy, Tyrone Power and George Brent sharing the stellar roles. This powerful story of human emotions at the breaking point and human lives at the climax, while the untamed forces of na ture ravaged the earth, has been retold in thia 20 th Century-Fox film, in which all of Bromtield's colorful characters are brought to vivid life. Myrna Loy is seen as the amor ous Lady Esketh, Tyrone Power has his most romantic role as Major Rama. Safti, and George Brent plays the world-weary Tom Ransome. Brenda Joyce, star-maker Zan uck's newest discovery, interprets the role of young Fern Simon, while others featured in the great cast are , Nigel Bruce, Maria - Ouspenskaya, Joseph Schildkraut, Jane Darwell, Marjorle Ram beau, Henry Travers and H. B. Warner. Clarence Brown directed the production, which reproduces with breath-taking realism the earth quake, flood, fire and plague highlighting the novel.

Interviewed after his first showing of the film, Bromfield declared his delight with Zanuck's picturization of his novel and the expertness of frown's direction. FallOp ening Plans Listed Annual Event Thursday All Day Affair, Ad President Says . Thursday,- September 2S, will mark the annual fall opening celebration being sponsored by the Salem Ad club. As a definite departure from past years, this "opening" event is to be an all day affair accord ing to Robert Sprague, president of the Ad club. . Under the leadership of E. A. "Ted" Brown, as chairman of the special committee, plans are well under way to make Thursday a success in every possible way. Many special inducements are to be offered by local merchants for the morning and afternoon, while the evening will be given over to special events of entertainment including gorgeous window illu . ruinations and, style shows, bands on the streets,.- entertainment ga lore, and the big dance- at the : Crystal Garden as the climax of the day's festivities. While an 'laU-day opening" will be iffiw to Salem, it has' been tried in other locations with very gratifying results, namely in ; Portland, Chicago, and many Cali fornia cities. The added advantage of shelf - and counter display space in the ; stores will be noted as a definite ' Improvement over past "opening I. Improvement over past "opening" nights, when a majority of mer- chants made use of their windows only. This new system will allow for a much greater flexibility of ' displays and assure a finer varie ty of merchandise presentation than ever before.

"Wuthering Heights" casts slim and sylph-like Merle as Cathy, hot- tempered, devil - may - care 19th century lass who runs wild over the moors and crags of Yorkshire. Cathy's beauty and vi vacity attract the loves of two men brooding and darksome Heathcliff,- and wealthy and so- cially prominent Edgar Linton. In her youth Cathy turns to Heath- cliff in spite of his boorish man ners and strange ways because their love is mingled with the mystery of the moors. But Cathy's love is not strong enough to stand the blows of disappointment. Heathcliff does not fulfill her childish dreams and conquer the world to lay at her feet. Instead, he deteriorates into a lowly sta ble boy, content to be near her and worship her. A strange and unhappy climax separates the lovers. Heathcliff disappears and Cathy marries Ed gar Linton. But after two years Heathcliff returns, determined on revenge to teach the woman he still loves the ways of pain. Among the many sets construct ed for "Wuthering Heights" is one called "Thrushcross Grange,' a 19th century manor house, and one of the largest ever construct ed indoors by Goldwyn, being eclipsed only by the $100,000 palace of the Kublai Khan built for "Marco Polo and erected on the same stage. Miss Oberon bad seven changes of hoop-skirt costume during the filming of "Wuthering Heights,' and 30 supporting players aver aged two changes each.

So do all the international advisers of the White House, particularly Berle and Louis Johnson. You will note the legislation being framed by Senator Pittman to carry out' ad ministration views Is along that old line, rather than a cold re turn to international law. The leading advocate of inter national law has been Mr. Borah, spearhead of the neutrality bloc. Of coarse, international law Is merely a codification of generally accepted practices, subject to widely variable interpretations, The kind of interpretation Borah gives it is not at all the kind that Mr. Roosevelt specified in his message. But the president's use of. the phrase will be con fusing to his opposition, and will simultaneously open the way for adoption by congress of a com promisecash and carry. Roosevelt devotees are, there fore, describing the president's message as the greatest of all Roosevelt strategems. The republicans were mat fooling when they said there would be sto partisanship ta hawlllag the foreign policy leg islation. There could have beta none. Mr. Roosevelt's nice invitation to adjourn politics has in reality become a God-given excuse to cover the fact that the repub licans are Sincerely and deeply split wide open. So are the demo crats. Such old political friends as Vice President Garner end Senator Bennett Clark have fall en out in the democratic side. In the republican camp you have senate Leader McNary with Borah and the neutrality bloc, his es sisant leader Austin on the presi dent's side.

Jackie, Freddie Teamed, Capitol Wildcat Oil Operations Are Motif for Picture of Two Bright Boys' Jackie Cooper and Freddie Bar tholomew share co-starring hon ors in their new Universay film "Two Bright Boys," which opened yesterday at'the Capitol theatre. Here is a story into which are woven heart-throbs, laughter and the absorbing drama of a young ster's courage in the face of im pending disaster. Jackie is the penniless youth who defies an unscrupulous oil baron while trying desperately to drill a wfldcat well on a rundown Texas' farm. Bartholomew's portrayal of the young English stranger and the unwilling obstacle to Jackie's plans, is more varied and finely done than any role he has played since "David Copperfield." By turns he is a scoundrel, hero, trai tor and then, in the climax, a brave friend who is willing to risk everything to prove his loyalty to a pal. Matching Cooper's skill at every point in the narrative, he scores a personal hit, Alan Dinehart lends firm real ism as the scheming oil baron who tries to steal Jackie's land. "Mr. Wong in Chinatown, starring Boris Karloff in the third in a series of detective mysteries about a Chinese super-sleuth, is also billed at the Capitol today.

' - ' This needs to b realized when we hear passionate pleas for "America first" from people and organizations whose allegiance Is elsewhere. This war is being fought in a very peculiar way. It is in the first line a war of ideas. In this war of ideas no neutrality is re spected. On the other hand, neu trality itself and the various in terpretations of neutrality are part of the strategy of the. war. At this time when the Nazis in the United States are insisting that to repeal the embargo on arms and to return to traditional international law would amount to an act of war against Germany, they interpret the Russian action as "neutrality." And the German concept of neutrality as applied, for instance, to Rumania and to Italy, is of a neutrality wholly benevolent to Germany whereby Germany profits more by their neutrality than by the actual par ticipation, of these countries in the war. The campaign of thosje who wish this country to aid Germany consists entirely in presenting the war as a purely Internal Euro pean struggle in spite of the fact that it Is already being waged on every continent of the world, ex cept South America, where It is still In the "cold" stage. It also consists in attributing the entire cause of the war to the Treaty of Versailles which again is Colonel Lindbergh's view and this despite the fact that the Treaty of Versailles was as extinct as the dodo before this war began. Every effort is made to mini mize the revolutionary character of Nazism and to present Russia as a purged nation and a no long er menacing world ideology de spite the fact that Premier Molo tov on the day that the Russians marched into Poland hailed the triumphal procession of the world revolution. To lift the embargo on arms by no means indicates that this na tion is going to plunge into the war.

But we would do very well to take a look at some of the things that are going on within our own borders. For the worst possible place to have this war fought out would be on our own Boil. There are minor riots going on in this coun try; at this minute.
