dozen people every day attempt to
take with them a souvenir until
they discover that the flowers are
not the plucking kind.
With misty eyes and a reminiscent
mood, a young lady Bitting in the
back of the theatre, during one of
the showings of "The Big Parade,"
wrote a letter. We wonder at the
contents of a letter written under
such unusual circumstances.

"Spooks," as the name suggests,
is a mystery play. An exciting story
that keeps winding and twisting and
turning into more and more of a
maze until, to save your life, you
can't guess who committed the crime,
even though it took place before
your very eyes. Suddenly with a
surprising, dramatic denouement you
discover that the last person you sus
pected is really the guilt yparty.
"Spooks" is a fast moving play,
vrith enough comedy to keep you
amused and plenty of mystery and
romance to keep you thoroughly in

Here blood stained souls revel in
lust, in hatred, in the foul depths of
vile and corrupt sin. One instant

plunder, to torture, to kill to flout
the law of civilization until some
tsrocious act causes it to jend their
career.
Such is the setting of the picture
"Underworld." The Btory is a
glimpse into the life of an under
world king. A life spent outside
the law. A life spent in robbing, in
plundering, in jealously guarding a
woman he had selected for himself.
The life of a killer, who avenged an
assault to his sweetheart, by coolly
taking the lige of the assailant. A
spectacular break for freedom on the
eve of his execution. Just an inci
dent in the daily routine of that
other world.
George Bancroft as "Bull Weed,"
the underworld king, does some very
fine acting. He is well supported by
Evelyn Brent and Clive Brook.
News, a short comedy and one act
of singing and dancing round out an
interesting program.

Raines and Avey lead the bill with
their comedy chatter, dancing and
home made" music. Raines with
his garden hose affair, "which." he
says, "some of my audience call a
violin. No, no. Not a violin but
anyway, some other vile name," suc
ceeds in getting a big laugh.
Eva Mandell as "little Eva"
(don't let her name fool you) re
cites some funny songs in a very
pleasing way.
The Shore Sisters, "pretty and pe
tite dancers," are just what that
phrase explains.
Billy Claire sings, dances and
plays the organ (a mouth organ).
The feature,' "A Gentleman, of
Paris," is a clever and entertaining
picture. The cast is headed by Adol
phe Menjou. He does some clever
acting.
It is the story of a wealthy
French "gentlemen," who spends a
good deal more time with other men's
wives than with his betrothed wife.
Incidentally his harem includes the
wife of his most trustworthy friend,
his valet. The vtlet proceeds to
avenge himself by disclosing his mas
ter as a cheat and thief. Just when
things appear to be the blackest, the
clever Menjou pulls out another of
his bagful of tricks and for the hun
dredth time gets himself out of a
mighty tight pinch.
The picture is a pleasant even
ing's entertainment.
Chenoweth at the wurlitzer plays
a number of popular and old time
songs, very cleverly arranged.
This with the orchestra, which
plays from the stage, succedds in
making one forget his troubles for
the rest of the evening.

An unusual type of picture, this
"Metropolis." Made in Germany, this
picture with its unusual photography
and settings, might be called another
Cinemiracle.
The story of a city a thousand
years from now. The rich people
live on top of the earth while the
workers' homes are below ground.
The master mind of the Metropolis
has a soulless woman made and tells
her to preach contentment to the
workmen. Instead she advises them
to revolt. When they revolt and
leave their machines, water floods
their homes.
Oh, Gosh. I forget what hap
pened next. Anyway, it has me so
interested I was sweating.
It's an unusual picture and mose
everv one should enjoy seeing: it.

interested as they intend to break the

have won. The sophomores believe
that with the changes made in the

stantly kept in troubled areas such as
China and South America. The re
gion near the Panama- canal zone is
constantly guarded and patrolled by
the United States navy.
Just as some people abandon the
game of football as being too rough,
stated the captain, people do not sup
port the navy and attempt to advo
cate the limiting of the navy to a few
ships. After every war, seemingly,
people get the idea that it is to be)
the last one and that an era of per
petual peace is at hand. America
has had to fight a war in every gen
eration to maintain that peace which
is so dear to every citizen.
We are a rich and prosperous na
tion and have a very high standard of
living. A rich country always has
many euemies. We are in competi
tion commercially with every nation ;
of the world. As our merchant ves
sels ply every sea and enter every i
port in the world, naturally there is
bound to be some friction. It is a
known fact that every war in history
has had commercial complications of
some kind; therefore it might be
hoove us to adopt Theodore Roose
velt's policy, "Speak softly but carry
a big stick."

stated Captain Blackburn. United
States has built a smaller number of
ships since the agreement than any
other power. Great Britain exceeds
United States by several thousand
tons, while France has built about
three times as many ships as United
States.
"Some people think that the navy
is the first line of defense for the
nation, but I believe that diplo
macy acts in that capacity," Captain
Blackburn said in closing. When
diplomacy fails, then, and only then
does the navy act. The navy is the
servant of the people and if, in turn1
the people support the navy, it will
receive money enough to keep it up
to datel and will be ready to defend
us at the critical moment.

Faculties Control Students
Each college is composed of from
150 200 students and run on the
'fraternity' plan. The faculty of
each college controls the students,
make rules for them and forms the
policies which the students must fol
low while in school. The colleges
are fairly well endowed, Mr. Tefft
stated, and some of the buildings are
from 200 to 400 years old. There
are dormitories for the men, provid
ing a suite of two rooms for one or
two men.
There is also a university chanel.
and the English church is strictly ad
hered to, according to rules and reg
ulations set by the faculty. Mr.
Tefft explained the need of an af
ternoon 'tea' for an Englishman.
However, he stated that the 'tea' is
in reality an afternoon meal and that
dinner is generally served about 7:30

o'clock. The halls of the dining-hall
are spacious and are patterned after
the style described in Scott's Ivan-
hoe. The faculty is served at a table
which is set higher than the students'
tables.
Rooms Are Not Very Modern
Instead of upholstered chairs, the
students sit on long wooden benches.
The rooms are heated by large fire
places, and water is provided only by
pitcher and basin. lie stated that
baths are an innovation at Oxford.
After the student has spent a few
months in Oxford, Mr. Tefft relates,
he begins to appreciate the buildings,
and the age and traditions of the
school. There is no campus, the
buildings being scattered throughout
the little town of Oxford. Each
student upon matriculating receives
a 'Code of Habits.' Students may
not be outside of the buildings after
12 o'clock, must dress uniformly,
can only play certain games, fresh
men cannot keep cars at the univer
sity and upperclassmen can keep cars
only by special permit from the fa
culty. Several sets of examinations are
given to first year students. After
the first year, the student has only a
yearly examination to work toward
his degree. The method of prepara
tion is left entirely to the student.
He may or may not attend lectures,
but he is responsible for the work
carried on during that period.
"Ipatieff House," the house in
Sverdlovsk where the czar and other
members of the Russian imperial
family were murdered in July 1918,

anniversary of the Bolshevist revolu
tion late this year.
