Also, a play so full of complications and inter-complications that you may have to be patient with your re viewer while he tries to re-unravel the tangled thread. Mrs. Sommers No. 2 (Genevieve Tobin) decides that Mr. Sommers is a brute, and that her married life is very unhappy ana needs a little variation. Robert McNear, (George Brent) being of a mina to marry her if they can surmount the obstacle of the present hus band, agrees. After they have rid themselves of the spying brother-in-law by swimming out to a raft in the ocean, they plan a week end at a mountain lode-e. Un known to them, Mrs. Sommers !

And you may stay to see parts of it again. This is one of those rare productions where the producers realize that because one or two scenes are funny, eight or ten like it and twice as long may not be side splitting and that perhaps the house may not want its sides split when the operation is so painful. The humor is never offensive, and even though the story Is a bit weak and worn in places, and takes a few liberties, you won't mind for it's all for the sake of fun. Of course, if you want to take it very seriously, if you like your humor that way, then you may object to parts but I'd see a doctor, if I were you glands, you know The stoiy concerns Jack Benny, i Eroadway columnist, keyhole and j transom inspector for the people who are somebody: Robert Tay lor, Broadway producer with a show and no money; June KnSsrht. 1 Broadway widow with a yen for the producer and the show, for herstlf; and Eleanor Powell, the girl from back home with the bright lights strong in her eyes.

Stir in a dash of Robert Wild hack, and his learned treatise on snores, with Illustrations: season liberally with some beautiful danc ing and ensemble scenes, a trick set in the opening, many striking ly beautiful effects and you have a concoction successfully designed rarily, to a relation slightly more intimate than speaking. Finding that his present wife is the young lady of the raft, and being slightlv irritated with him for the manner in which he disposed of her, Mrs. Sommers No. 1 artfully arranges a little get-together at her lodge in the mountains for all parties concerned. The unexpected enters in the form of a couple of crooks, any everything becomes very compli cated, but always laughable in the same casual vein. Some excellent humor effects. A sliding over of the more serious problems which might be invoked in passing. Tbe acting is the characters, and tbe characters are parts fitting to gether to make a play. There may be some objection by the more rigid-minded of the audience because it doesn't handle the institution of marriage in the style to which it would like to re main accustomed, but there's no harm meant, and if you want to take it seriously you'll only miss a few good laughs. A workman like show, with the parts well greased. OF U. S. OPPOSES WAR Associated Collegiate Press Conducts Study on Subject. Clax InrvKtigati'H Ue of Advertising To Stimulate Sale As Lady Tubbs Would Say "Your Evans Cleaners are too divine I send them all of mine Ei pert Launderer B66t Responsible Cleaners Possibilities of stimulated con sumption of Nebraska raised poul try and eggs thru the use of ad vertising is being investigated by tbe advanced class in advertising under the instruction of Dr. F. C. Biood. Thus far tbey have discov ered that the Califor-nia fruit grow ers association by advertising fruits for breakfast has sadly cramped the style of good "old fashioned" eggs and baron. "Eggs" stated Dr. Blood, "are not advertised as fruits are. Con sequently they have to be satisfied with a smaller market and lower prices." The effect of tbe prices of poul try and eggs on the volume of re tail sales in Nebraska trading cen ters is that the purchase of luxu ries in Nebraska baa increased when preceeded by rising poultry and egg prices. "I believe the pin money derived from the egg money is the most important retail factor in Ne braska" said Dr. Blood. "Tbe re tail market has gone up because the merchants are kept busy out side tbe purchase of bare necessi ties." The depression has had at least one beneficial effect in the belief of President Lotus D. Coif man of the University of Minnesota. He attributes the attainment of a ten year L.gh In scholarship last year to the fact that students bad less money, more time for study. Gasolene j Motor OH M WW 10c te 90e ci.

The college youth of America definitely does not want war, and can be expected to oppose vigorously and actively any effort to drag the United States into the general European war many experts predict will arise out of the Italo-Ethiopian conflict. This is the belief of Associated Collegiate Press correspondents who have just completed a survey of student opinion on the subject. Conclusions Reached. Outstanding among the conclu sions reached as a result of the survey are these-. 1. While most American stu dents are in decided sympathy with Ethiopia in the present un declared war in Africa, opinion is divided as to the wisdom of the United States joining the League of Nations in the application of aggressor penalties against Italy, with only a minority in suppoit. 2. Today, more students than ever before are prepared to view with cynical skepticism the flag waving jingoism and propaganda so successfully used to drive America into participation in the , World war. i 3. The flood of books, pamph lets and magazine articles expos- ing the origins of past wars, and particularly the World war. has found a wider circulation among college students and instructors than among any other group of the American public as a whole. 4. The number, of "conscientious objectors" and pacifists in the col leges and universities, both those who would refuse to enlist for a foreign war and those who are pledged not to fight for any rea- j son, has vastly increased during ; the pant few years. j Editorial Expresses Opinion. What collegiate America thinks of war is best expressed in the fol lowing editorial from the North east Missounan, student publica tion of Northeast Missouri teach ers college. The article has been widely reprinted in tbe college predH : "We, the young people of today, are faced with a world preparing for war. Italy is rapidly forcing the issue in Ethiopia; Great Britain is rushing ber navy to the Mediter ranean: the United States is stead ily increasing its military expendi tures and following policies which threaten to plunge us into tbe me lee. The League of Nations is a peace organization in name but is powerless to avert war unless Italy retracts, and Italy will not retract as long as there is a possible chance to gain land and resources. War in Europe seems inevitable. Tbe United States must not be drawn into tbe mess. Tbe young men of America are too valuable to waste in a squabble between selfish nations in Europe; Amerli can resources are too valuable to blow up In gun powder. "We feel the need for construc tive and dramatic demonstration against the rising war tendencies of our nation. We must bear down strongly on peace education. We must demonstrate our determina tion not to be cannon fodder for future wars." ""pHE Colleges, of all places, are showing a drop in literacy, says Bernard's Dean Virginia C. Gildersleeve. One wonders,. There is little question about the illiter acy; one wonders merely if it is on the increase. It sesms to us that collegiate society, like any other, is divided into literate and illiter ate, has always been so, and prob ably always will be. There is in any college a certain fixed proportion of students who have never read anything if there was a possible avenue of escape, and there is al ways a contingent of omnivorous and intelligent readers. 4 o o "Instead of taking things in thru the eye and becoming fa miliar with the aspect of Eng lish words," says Dean Gilder sleeve, "they take them in thru the ear, by the radio and the movies. This has a lementable effect on their spelling and on some other aspects of their writ ing." "Are we right in feeling that the present student is rather more il literate than were the students of the past," Dean Gildersleeve con tinues, "Has this condition, if it exists, much to do with our college requirements, or does it grow out of the state of affairs noticed in the schools also that is, the rap idly diminishing amount of reading done by our young people?" THE radio and the movies have of course raised figurative and literal hob with the status of learn ing in these United States. There is no simpler way of obtaining in formation than that afforded by the radio, just as there is nothing that affords amusement with less intellectual effort on the part of the audience, than the current cin ema. Not that either of these two praiseworthy phenomena is in trinsically debasing: it is merely that they both depend for success on an appeal to the mass mind, and the level of the mass mind is found at about 14 years. So. . . . But there are worse things to come, say the scientists. The only barier between us and il literacy is the American press, specifically the newspapers. The country is full of people who read nothing but newspapers. Already radio is encroaching on the news field; it is easier now, in some instances, to get one's news over the air than it is to read it for oneself And what of increased radio activity in this field, my masters, and what of television? Imagine the alert television reporter, broadcasting pictures and a running descrip tion of. for instance, a session of the United States senate, com plete with sound effects. Who'll read tbe newspapers then? A few people surely; there is some truth in the often-reiterated statement that "the newspapers will never go." But the people they will cater to in the future will be those who want interpre tative and background material, matter that can never be in stantly prepared. ogy students study 112 professors for two weeks and then turn in a report on the teachers' annoying habits and mannerisms. R. JOE i Carolina State collc-ee. E. MOOP.E, of North is an enterprising fellow, and a gentle man of parts in the psychological field.

Then came "Twisting mouth into odd shapes," with 63 earnest young psycnoio gists recording their aversion to this pleasantry. "Frowning" came next, with 55 votes, then "Play ing or tinkering with objects" type of object unspecified and next, "Cocking head" pulled an even 50 votes. The list runs on like that for quite a little while, various attitudes and mannerisms being listed. There are professors who did not know, perhaps, that "stand ing in an awkward position" is very painful to some students, and definitely retards their con centration. Similarly, your care ful pedagogue will not "walk around too much" nor will he effect "odd color combinations in clothing." And it Is de rigeur to speak in "complete state ments" and not scratch the head nor "talk too low." What with salary waivers. 8 o'clock classes, recalcitrant and bone-headed freshmen, and the high price of pork, life was hard enough before.
