“Private Affairs." the new Univer-

sal film starring Nancy Keilv. Rob--

ert Cummings, Hugh Herbert and Roland _Young, which opens todav at the "Prince ndward" is a comedy of

bright contrasts.

lvlodern and breezy in spirit, 2L5‘ action is played in counterpoint against a background oi Boston's where traoiutn holds sway and family sometimes Y.

Roland Young, long famed as the familiar “1.'0ppel" oi that papular film series, wins new laui-els iii u sympathetic role that iinos him as

an estranged member 0t a Boston, _clan who chose to be a

sheep" rather than be dictated to in his choice of a bride.

Nancy Kelly is his daughter, a pretty girl who has grovm up viiith her crotchely grandfather, lvi.n- tagu Love, in the Back Bay atmos- phere without ever having seen n~.r lather. Action of the film hinges on the fact that Miss Kelly laces the

isaiiie romantic quandary that an-

iiuiicd her lore. Nancy loves handsome young Rob- ert Cummings, but her gfandllilhtl‘ wants her to marry G. P. Huntley, Jr.. who has monev and ancestors lo reccmmeno hiin. She ---takes Aer troubles to her father, From tilen on the story concerns itself with meni- bers of the triumvirate solving their

Free French Navy Now Vast Fleet

(By Louis V. Hunter] (Canadian Press Staff Writer] LONDON. June 2 -icP) _'1'11¢ l-"ree French Navy. one year old this month, has grown in that short time from two warships to a vast fleet of more than 100 ves- sels. all playing an important role beside units of the hard-pressed

gainst tlie Axis. ‘The flcct came into being June , 28, 1940, at Gibraltar where twu French naval units took refuge| after the collapse of France. In- I Splféd by the determination of, their crews to continue the strug- i gle against the Nazis, Admiral i Emile Musclicr flew to London from Gibraltar and placed himself under the orders of Gen. Charles De Gnulle. leader of the Free French Forces.

De Galrle entrusted Muselier

months later that he learned the

submarine Narvai, now sunk, ati Malta, and thc minelaying sub-' marine Rubis, in the North Sea, f were carrying on the fight i

Famous Telegram l

It was the captain of the Narval l who sent the famous telegram to the entire flrei after armistice was ‘ signed: “Treachery all along the ‘inc, Am heading for a British port." He went to Malta.

The Rubis, after a brilliant cam- paign in the North Sea decided to rally to Muselicr. The captain was decorated with the distincuishcd service order on July 19. 1940, for outstanding service ivhich resulted in the destruction of several Ger- man vesrcls. He is considered by British authorities to be one of the foremost specialists at present in action

On Jilly 1. Museller issued his first order of the day, which in-

structedfFrcnch vrarships, merch- i

At 3 a. m. a new and heavier wave of bombs. hlge explosive and, incendiary, fell father down the street. One incendiary had gone through to the basement of a dent- ists premises and lodged in a cup- board. When the two Scouts arriv- ed the fire was blazing furiously, but thev attacked it with stirrup pumps and sand, and eventually had it out.

Next, seeing s blaze on the roof of a five-storey building, they climbed in through a window and made their way to the top. No stir- rup Dumps were available there, but they found some buckets. With these they ran down to the lower floor for water, and hastened back; up a ladder. through a trap duct‘ to the roof. The fire had gained tool great a start, however, and they lelt the fight to the firemen who had arrived.
