Cobyrighl, 1935, by United Press, BERLIN. March 23. — <U.P> — The peace of Europe appeared tonight to hang on the success or failure of a British mission, here to confer tomorrow with Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler on his re-armament program in violation of the treatry of Versailles.
Thousands lined the streets of Berlin this evening to cheer the British statesmen as they drove to their hotel in famous Unter den Linden, two minutes from the chancellory where they meet Der Fuehrer in vital conversations tomorrow and Tuesday.
By Airplay Sir John Simon, British foreign secretary, and Capt. Anthony Eden, lord privy seal, arrived by airplane, via Amsterdam. They were met at the mrport by the British ambassador, Sir Eric Phipps, and a German delegation headed by the foreign minister, Baron Konstantin von Neurath.
A throng cheered them lustily as their plane circled down—a possible harbinger of peace from the former allied powers.
Sir John and Baron von Neurath exchanged brief greetings and then the Britons drove into the capital to a hotel.
Storm Troop Guard A company of Hitler’s elite storm troops fonned a guard of honor. Aside from that, however, there was little military display in connection with their reception.
Hitler flew to Berlin from the south, arriving shortly after noon to prepare for the conferences to* morrow, which are expected to decide whether the Reich returns to Geneva and enters the skein of interlocking peace pacts which France, Italy, and England have evolved in recent months of almost constant, inter-govemmental nego-

Actual production of an experimental sound picture is scheduled, as well as classroom lectures by prominent members of the movie industry.

HONGKONG. Monday, Harch 25. —(UP)—The British steamer HaUio is agrounud in shallow water south of Fuchow, in latitude 25.42 north, and longitude 119.40 east, radio advices from the ship indicated today.
“See Naples and Die.”
Elmer Rice must have been dealing in contradictions when he thought up the title of his most satirical comedy, the S. C. presentation of which will be seen on Bovard stage this Friday evening, tinder the sponsorship of National Collegiate players.
The author of the play saw Naples and did not die! Many of his characters are made to see the Neopolitan villa without suffering the predicted demise, and students of the University of Southern California will be given a view of the authentic Neopolitan settiner and
of Rice’s brain child.
Sojourning in “sunny Italy" in order to recover his health, the author of the play seized the opportunity of caricaturing those whom he met in the land of “lemon groves and bougainvillea.” is he states in the dialogue. Not only are the tourists the victims of his wit, but he is also fond of poking fun at the native Italians, themselves, with their devil-may-care, lazy attitudes.
Had Shakespeare ever known a midwestem American, he probably would have used this character in th* nln^e of his famous clown, for
Martin is the cause of more than a little mirth, with her never-ending curiosity and her ridiculous naivete.
Providing the remainder of the Americanism to the play are Charlie Carroll and Nanette Dodge, played respectively by Walter Prill and Nadine Adams, and Mary Elizabeth Dodge Norton, played by Jane Pohantgen. sister of Nanette. Charlie and Nanette are destined to provide the love-interest in the play, but their mutual affection is somewhat complicated by the fact that Nanete has married Prince Kosoff,
the fact that Charlie does not at first realize that the fatal step was taken to protect sister Mary Elizabeth, now a happy wife and mother, who previously had written foolish letters to Kosoff.
Adding continental color to the atmosphere is the guitar-strumming Angelo de Medici, played by Craig Thomas, who is stirred from his lethargy only by his interest in the seductive Luisa, portrayed by Gloria Curran, whose flirtatious ways make life miserable for Mrs. de Medici, Helen Hougen McCall, who curses her roundly for “stealing hsr man.”
