Laurel, Hardy draw laughs
from cinemites; Flynn rides
A comedy in which two street
cleaners get ft college hazing at
Oxford university when they en
roll there as students and a shoot
in' thriller of the romantic old
west will be the main features pro
viding excuses from the daily
grind for relaxing scholars and
"cinemites" in general at Lincoln
theatres this weekend.
The comic-team Laurel and
Hardy co-star in "A Chump at
Oxford" and turn the whole Ox
ford campus topsy-turvy on the
Nebraska screen starling Satur
day. Street cleaners.
While working as street clean
ers in America the two boys catch
a bank robber and are then
awarded educations at Oxford by
the bank president. The English
lads, seeing a chance to have some
fun, give the two new students a
genuine college hazing. Among
the various forms of mayhem is
a "dunking" in the pool and run
ning a line of paddles. Our heroes
return home after the dean be
comes involved in the melee.
A companion feature at the Ne

with Lynne Overman and Virginia

the Lincoln is the story of a city

Swinging Along
By Floyd Irving.
Colonel Manny Prager, Ben Ber
nies old Aide-kick, and popular of
"The Kings Horses" has top billing
at the Turnpike this weekend. For
a new band showing there is some
thing to cheer about. Eighteen-year-old
Betty Bonney really gives
with the voicage. If deservability
and hard work mean anything, this
outfit should go far.
Dick Jurgens, who long ago
swore he'd never have another girl
singer, evidently changed his mind.
Dick has signed 16-year-old Chi
cago high school girl, Gloria Gil
bert, to take over as vocalist.
Gloria will fill spot left vacant by
Eddie Howard, who left the band
to form a band of his own for
radio.
Trends.
Insiders in the band business
look to the colleges and univer
sities to the tip-off on orchestra
trends and popularity, and the
busiest barometer of collegiate
taste today seems to be Jack Tea
garten and his orchestra. Since
January Jack and his "band that
really plays the blues" have in
cluded seventeen college dates In
an already crowded cage, ballroom.
theater, recording and hotel sched
ule a record for college engage
ments, since seventeen dates are
more than the average band plays
in a year or more.
Howard Woods and band have
introduced a new and novel style
called, "Musical Echoes," in which
one section of the orchestra echoes
in tempo and melody which has
just been played by another sec
tion. "Budweiser Bob" is what his
cronies call Bob Eberlee, chanter
with the Jim Dorsoy gang. Eber
lee Is reputed to be able to down
three beers in three minutes, night
or day, before or after meals.
Twenty-five free ticket to "A
Chump at Oxford" with Laurel
and Hardy will be awarded to the
Htudents who pencil in the fun
niest finish to' this Laurel-Hardy
cartoon. Only your imagination
and your own ingenuity are needed
to show how the two might look
invading Oxford's halls of learn
