CIVIC THEATRE
4, THURSDAY AND FRIDAY "Get me Hitler, Mussolini and a Jap ambassador," came a voice over the dictograph in the casting office of the Hal Roach Studios. and th°re "was launched one of the most widesnread and thorough searches of Hollywood's acting personnei unoi. the casting of "Gone With the Wind." The voice was that of producer Glenn Tryon and the occasion was the start of production on ihe est Hal Roach comedy, "Thd Devil With Hitler," at the Civic Theatre. The story revolving about the axis partners is broad satire, but the characters themselves bear as close a physical resemblance as it was possible to obtain. For too long a time that delightful, light-fingered gentleman of fiction — Arsene Lupin — has been absent from the scr "• versal Studio has rectified that by making "JEnter Arsene Lupin," which also shows at the Civic Theatre. This reviewer is happy to report that the film brings Monsier Lupin up to date in a story that will delight picture fans everywhere, as will the star who nnrt.vavs him.
