AMERICAN GIRL IS PRETTIER THAN ENGLISH (Continued from Vugc One) ‘The American girl is far pret I tier and gayer than the English,” | she asserted yesterday, as she | talked with several Oregon girls I at Hendricks Hall where she is living. "I don’t think one is > more interested in having a ca I reer than the other now, though i of course there are many more girls in college here.” It is true that the English do | not have the easy friendliness of | Americans, particularly the type i she is finding in the West, Miss ' Morwood believes. ‘‘I'm enjoying it here so much s already,” she said, ‘‘and finding I interesting people to know.” Miss Morwood is an assistant in the > English department and is busy 90 with her work, towards her mas ter's degree. She hopes some day to take her Ph. D. degree with a view toward working in a pub lishing house. She will be hon ored at a tea on Tuesday, after noon by' the Woman’s league at the Gerlinger building.

Sunday, "Movie-Tone Follies of 1929." ‘Simba*’ Jungle Epic Starts Colonial Run A great drama of the primitive will open at the Colonial theatre today when "Simba” is thrown on the screen. Filmed by Martin and Osa Johnson, already famous for their adventurous exploits, it is a graphic picture of life in the jungles of Africa. It is unvarn ished with the claptrap of civili zation. It is a very difficult job to de scribe the magnificence of "Sim ba.” Four costly years were spent in making it. Every effort to make the picture a true rec ord nearly cost the lives of mem bers of the expedition. It is a film of "bxtraordinary vividness, offering moments as thrilling as you are likely to see on any of the screens of life. Some of the Johnson's shots are so fraught with a chill sort of tension, that there is an illu sion of actual presence in the jungle. In contrast with a ter rific fight with lions (Simba is the Swaliili word for the king of beasts) are the • astonishing photos of their quiet domestic life. Baclanova Suffers From Russian Revolt The hardships suffered by the pioneers in the days pictured in Zane Grey’s newest Paramount screen drama, “Avalanche,” at the Colonial Sunday, were no greater than those of real life experienced by Baclanova, the Russian actress who appears with Jack Holt in one of the principal roles of this production. Baclanova was one of the fea tured players in the Moscow Art theatre before and during the war. When Bolshevists took over the government reins, Baclanova found her status changed in many ways. She continued to play with the theatre but her salary consisted not of money but of, an apartment in which to live, and food and drink. A pair of shoes and a gown or two might be the salary for one week, food rations might repre sent her salary the next. Baclanova's introduction into Paramount pictures was made through Emil Jannings’ “The Street of Sin.” Tense Drama Stars Favorite of Stage “Madame X,” opening at the McDonald Sunday, is one of the greatest masterpieces of drama, a favorite of great actors and Of the theatre-going public alike, has been translated into a new enter tainment medium, the talking film, and in that guise will be seen for the first time in Eugene at the McDonald theatre. Ruth Chatterton, who left the theatre, where she had gained an enviable reputation as a dramatic and musical comedy star as well, to enter the films at the time the talking picture made its appear ance, plays the title role, a role originally created on the French stage by Sarah Bernhardt. The remainder of the cast is also a noteworthy one, composed ®®S®SEI2JSJ3ISISJSjSjM3JSJSJSMOH5Mc of many stage and screen celeb rities. Lewis Stone plays the husband of the tragic and mys terious woman and Raymond Hackett plays her son, who, as a young attorney at the bar, de fends her when she goes on trial for murder, without knowing that she is his mother. Racketeer Thrill Film Opens for Sunday “Speakeasy,” which starts at ! the Rex Sunday, runs through j the whole thrill catalogue. With 1 100 per cent talk and sound ac | companiment, the fighting and ' racing scenes have a genuine | kick. It has some up-to-date j racketeering and tenderloin at i mosphere. The scenes inside the j dives are colorful and entertain | ing. It’s good, snappy-moving j entertainment. VERN BLUE TELLS OF JOURNEY IN JAPAN \Kjuniinuva jrom rage une) | Conversations with Buddhist and Shintoist preists at the var ious shrines and monasteries took a large part of Professor Blue's time. “Shintoism is undoubtedly still the dominant religion of Japan,” said Blue. “Buddhism is second and Christianity seems scarcely to have made a dent on the relig ious consciousness of the people. "Shintoism is essentially the worship of the spirits of one's an cestors and of deities who are regarded as the progenitors of the whole Japanese race. Accord ing to this belief, all Japanese are members of one big family des cended from common ancestors, and even the poorest wretch in the land may console himself with the thought that he is related to the heaven-born Emperor himself. “Shintoism is in no sense a heathen religion,” declared Blue. "The philosophy and thought of its leaders and priests is very in telligent and logical. This is per haps not true with all its devotees, and the Shintoists of the lower classes may be as heathen as the Christianity of a Tennessee Bap tist church.” Doshisha University, founded about fifty years ago by a Japan ese converted to Christianity, is today the only co-educational uni versity in the country, according to Blue. “Japanese universities seem to be hotbeds of radical thought,” he commented. “As they are nearly all state spported, this ten dency makes censorship of stu dent thought rather rigid and at times harsh. Students are fre uently expelled from the univer sity for radical statements. When asked what expression of opinion he heard from Japanese regarding the problems of the Pacific and Japan’s attitude to ward the United States, Blue laughed a little. “The Japanese are a very po lite people,” he said. "Most of those whom I met seemed pur posely to refrain from bringing those matters into the conversa tion. This was particularly true among the university students. However, many older men told me that patient waiting and careful diplomacy between Japan and the United States, combined with genuine good will, would be the only way to solve common problems. Blue was accompanied on his trip from Seattle to Japan by Professor Edwin T. Hodge of the geology department, who was on his way to Africa to make an ex ‘ tensive geological trip. EISEISISJSJSHSISJSISJSJSISISfSiSISJSJSJSJSISJSJ Portland Photo Exhibit Brought To Local Museum Oregon Camera Club Barks Two Weeks Showing In Art Gallery The school of architecture and allied arts has just received an exhibit from the Pacific Interna tional Salon of Photographic Art which group has been on exhibit in the Portland museum. The pictures will be shown on the campus in the art gallery from October 5 to 15, beginning today noon, under the auspices of the Oregon Camera Club. The gallery will be open today until five o'clock; on Sunday from two to five and on week days from nine to five, closing during the noon hours. This ex position of international photo graphic art marks a complete and radical departure from all those that have preceded it. Instead of the usual three-man jury whose names were seldom mentioned, the salon now has a jury of se lection composed of nine compe tent and well qualified judges, whose names are published in a newly arranged catalogue. Ellis F. Lawrence, dean of the school of architecture and allied arts, states that the jury of selection is unique and that Albert Jourdan, a member of the salon committee, is the sponsor of the idea; also that it is through Jourdan’s inter est in the school here on the cam pus that the exposition is made available. Mr. Jourdan is a prom inent architect of Portland and the son of a Paris art dealer. The group is not only an ex hibition of unusual photography but includes reproductions of a great variety of noted portraits and pictures. Types The genius knows where he is going and what he can do and is willing to make any sacrifice in order to prepare his way. The freak also knows what he will do because he can do only one thing. But the average young person must choose which of several lines for which he is fitted he will fol low. Then the questions begin to arise concerning his decision—is it needful, is it worthwhile, is it progressive, is it a pleasure, and many others, until at last he is satisfied--The Collegian, Walla Walla, Wn.
