'phe Shadow Screen - Evelyn Shaner, Editor McDonald—Jack Mulhall in "Twin Beds," with Patsy Ruth Miller. REX—Laura La Plante in "The Love Trap.” COLONIAL—Rod La Rocque in "Hold ’Em Yale." STATE—"Fox Movietone Follies of 1929." Last day. Rex Has Love Trap For Last Time Today Laura La Plante will be seen today for the last time in "The Love Trap," her latest starring vehicle in the role of a woman who by determination alone saves her reputation and the love of her hus band. Movietone Follies Leaves State Today The "Follies of 1929” will play its last day at the State today and will be followed by "Two Lovers,” the latest co-starring attraction of Vilma Banky and Ronald Coleman. This is the last picture of this famous team, as each has reached the point of being a star in his own right. McDonald Picture Has Humorous Plot Lilting melodies and snappy dancing have made the rollicking comedy, “Twin Beds,” even more of a success on the screen than it was as a stage play. Jack Mulhall sings the theme song which has been labelled “If You Were Mine,” and Patsy Ruth Miller plays the part of his bride with great gusto. The plot, that of a newly married couple separated on their wedding night, affords a great deal of hilarious comedy. Rod Im Roque Stars In Hold ’Em Yale Breathing the very spirit of undergraduate life, football, box ing, student activities of every de scription, “Hold 'Em Yale” comes to the Colonial theatre today with the dark, romantic Rod La Rocque tearing his way to victory for his alma mater. It abounds in action, life, ro mance, color, and reveals the actu al heart of the modern American campus and the typical college hero. Senior Kid Party ! To be Postponed Till Winter Term Initial Meeting of Class Held in Villard 'f Assembly The annual senior “kid” party, usually held during the fall term, will be postponed until winter, it was decided at a meeting of the senior class in the assembly room of Villard hall yesterday after noon. The difficulty of finding a date in the crowded fall social calendar was the cause of moving the event, to which the guests come clad in juvenile costume, ahead to the winter term. The date of the par ty will be announced later. The senior formal ball will also be held during winter term, and senior leap week is set for spring term. The treasurer’s report stated that there is on hand in the class treasury, more than $600, and that this sum does not include the tax, which is collected by the university in the registration fees, and which has not yet been turned over to the class. About a hundred seniors attend ed the meeting, which was presid ed over by Eleanor Poorman, vice president, in the absence of Carl Nelson, president. DR. BARNES TELLS OF MUSEUM WORK (Continued from rage One) that I should study these two men and not Pelham, but you see, the j papers of Pelham were most all j lost or destroyed. The Duke of Newcastle and Lord Hardwicke, together with Pelham practically ran the British government from 1745 to 1754. Pelham was prime J minister. They carried on a pro digious correspondence and kept ' most all the letters sent out and those receiveed. Thus it is easy to get the material on Pelham. They had several secretaries who wrote in a beautiful hand, I should say, that is like the business col leges try to teach this Spencerian script, you know. Newcastle was spasmodic, though at times he wrote very well, but when he was peeved he was practically unread able, and he was peeved most of the time.” It was an unusually severe and cold winter in 1928, and Dr. Barnes said by March he was rather tired out by his concentra k tion and took a nine weeks vaca tion on the continent, mostly in southern France and Italy. The remembrance of charms of a lit tle village, called Mentone, on the Mediterranean, almost sent him into ecstasy. “The air,” he sighed, “the blue sky, the sun; Mrs. Barnes and I stretched out on the beach and absorbed little violet rays all day long. The people are so kindly; and made one feel so at home, they are cheerful and bubbling with the joy of life. It makes you want to stand up and shout for joy, and most likely the people will join in with you, so different from London where you would be ar rested for disturbing the peace, you’dmow.” Dr. Barnes had not been there since 1922, during the post war depression, and he noted a vast improvement since then. Amazing strides have been taken in nearly all directions. The greatsCt change he noticed in Italy was the fact that nearly all the beggars have been run out. “Quite different from London,” he said, waving a small sharp knife around in a preoccupied manner; he had been playing with it all the time and it kept me on the edge of the chair worrying about it. “London,” he continued is in fested with them. They draw pic tures on the side walks and beg you for money for looking at their works of art. I heard rumors that they no longer are independent concerns but have been syndicat ed, and one man makes the rounds drawing all the pictures, then they hire fellows to sit with them and look mournful and hold out a hat. Most of them claim to be ex-ser vice men, but few of them are about 21 or 22, so it’s quite amus ing. "Another form of begging is to sell matches. But just try and get the matches after you think you have purchased them, why in their eyes it amounts almost to a crime.” Saturday Last Time To Register at U. of O. Saturday, October 12, will be the last day to register in the Uni versity of Oregon for fall term it was announced yesterday by Bari Pallett, registrar. All graduate students failing to register Friday will be required to pay late registration fees. Don’t Blame the Shine Man.... If he doesn’t make your old shoes look like new.

SENIOR OF OREGON TRIES CHICAGO SLUMS (Continued from Page One) the employees were swollen to the albows.” The wages for her nine and a half to ten hours labor were about five dollars a week. “The room in which I stayed,” she went on, “was about five by seven and reminded one of a cell. It contained a very narrow cot and a locker the size of those used at the gym in which to keep all of my clothes. There was one dingy little window opening out on a court where garbage cans were kept.” Miss Edmunson stated that sanitary conditions in general were very bad. “Of course,” she said, “we could not tell anyone that we were stu dents or everything would have been spoiled. One of the most fre uent questions was 'What nation ality are you?’—something else which we could not tell. One time we counted the different national ities which were represented at the table where we worked and there were seven. Another question fre quently asked was ‘are you mar ried?’ and the main topic of con versation was the latest boy fridnd.” Miss Edmunson was able to ac tually see severally very interest ing events, one of which was a Salted Nuts That are toasted—Fresh and Crisp. Are they good? Well, you be the judge. There are Pecans, Almonds, Pignolias, Pis tachio Peanuts, Cashews and the new crop of Ore gon Filberts. Walora Candies 851 13th Ave. East FOX WEST COAST STARTING FRIDAY All-TALKiNO ttuaterq/ I Thriller; - * communist riot, when the people were “just like a herd of cattle." Another was a newspaper strike. A dope raid was also staged in a nearby hotel. It was found that a system of bells had been worked out in the rooms whereby the oc cupants could be warned and es cape by means of a trap door. "The first week seemed like an adventure,” Miss Edmunson de clared but after that it was drudg ery. Many of the girls working in the factories get married to escape working but after they are married they find that they must continue to work. Many of them are also carrying a great deal of responsibility. One who made forty dollars a month was obligat ed to send thirty of it home. As her room cost one dollar a week and her board four it was impossi ble for her to make ends meet. It is very hard for a girl to live un der the conditions which are pres ent and on the amount of money she earns.” The college women who were living in Chicago met twice each week to discuss problems and to hear lectures. Miss Edmunson af firmed that Chicago girls who knew of the students said: “We don't expect you to go out and revolutionize the world but this will help you to make yourself a better person in your profession.” Those people who are more fortu nate than those who live in the slums may help them by buying union made articles and by legis lation. Miss Edmunson says that she would like to go back again next year but different people are chos en by the Y. W. C. A. each sum mer. Grad Returns From German University Miss Elizabeth Karpenstein, who is a graduate of the univer sity, has returned from a year’s absence in Germany. She attend ed the University of Heidelberg and is now an instructor in Ger man and French at Albany col lege. The University of Heidel berg is offering a holiday course for foreigners from June 30 to August 9, 1930. Lectures will be given on Ger man literature, music, art, peda gogy, history, economics and the intellectual problems of Germany. A conducted visit to the castle, the museum and the bontanic gar dens and many other interesting attractions are scheduled. FROSH PARADE FAMILIAR STUNT (Continued from Page One) mony in conveying to Beverley the information that he was to run the gauntlet, which, otherwise stated, meant that the Indians would form themselves in two par allel lines facing each other about six feet apart, and that the pris oner would be expected to run down the length of the space be tween, thus affording the warriors an opportunity, greatly- coveted and relished by their fiendish na tures, to beat him cruelly during his flight. This sort of thing was to the Indians, indeed, and' exquisite amusement, as fascinating to them as the theatre is to the more en lightened people. No sooner was it agreed upon that the entertain ment should again be undertaken than all the younger men began to scurry around getting every ing ready for it. Their faces glow ed with a droll cruelty strange to see, and they further expressed their lively expectations by play ful yet curiously solemn antics. ‘‘The preparations were simple and quickly made. Each man armed himself with a stick three feet long and about three-quarters of an inch in diameter. Rough weapons they were, cut from boughs of scrub-oak, knotty and tough as horn.
