Picture Tells Simple Story Ot Ed, Co-Ed Cinema Porirays Romance of Lumberjack Who Gels Collegiate Film Kmls Happily When Leads Forgive "Searing Souls” was the title of a picture of which the hero was a cook in a seaside resort, and “Guns of Passion” was largely concerned with the World War, but "Ed's Co-Ed,” strange as it may seem, is the title of a pic ture which is all about a boy named Edward and his co-ed. Edward, or Ed, as he was called by his fellow mill-workers and the girl he loved, is, at the beginning of the story, the owner and oper ator of a small sawmill in south ern Oregon which had been owned by his father up until the time of his death. This is where the boy is first visited by his cousin, Les ter, but more important still, this Is the place where Ed meets the girl in the case; the heroine, so to speak; the gal of his dreams— Joanne. Joanne is evidently favorably impressed by the young lumber jack, and when Ed, induced to do so by his cousin, comes to school, he expects to carry on the friend ship (still in the egg form, of course) which seems to have be gun so auspiciously. But when he arrives on the campus (still decid edly in the egg form himself), he finds that some beast in human form has turned the damsel from him. And in spite of all his honor able and creditable actions from that point on she remains in the aforestated condition for some time. Then, at last brought to realize that Ed is the only true one of her bevy of admirers, she goes to him asking forgiveness for her scorn of him, only to find that now the ■boy of her heart has turned from her. They are standing in a vine covered gateway: “I’m sorry, Ed,’’ says Joanne. His lips curl. “Yes you’re sorry, all right. I'm through with this place, do you hear? I’m through with school, and I'm through with you! And if I never see you again, it'll be too soon.” He shoves her away abruptly, and leaves her standing there, under the vine-covered gatewuy. There we have tragedy, awful tragedy. The man she has laughed at all along, but whom she now realizes she loves, has left her. ■ There should be a way for them to j reunite . There must be. And as j it finally turns out, there is. Anti ' how sweet a reunion it is! Buddy’s Sweetheart Phyllis Van Kimmcll nlays one of the bent parts in the campus movie as Norman Eastman’s girl friend. Kleig Lights Hold JSo Lure for Helen Allen "I've always thought that I wanted to be a movie actress,” said Helen Allen, “until last spring term. I don’t want to now. I don’t know why. “I would rather go on the stage. It is so hard to keep in character in the movies; you take one scene for just about three minutes, and then you break.” JOANNE OF MOVIE WANTS HAPPINESS, NOT CAREER (Continued from Page Three) that I don’t feel that I should complain. Why, he had to be a freshman all over again, and wear a green lid. He had to go through the mill race in the tug of war, and help paint the ‘O.’ Believe me, It wasn’t faked either. “Then when they paddled him on the library steps, it was an honest-to-goodness board they used and you could hear it clear across the street. STUDENTS AND FACULTY OIVE FILM BACKING (Continued from I’age Three) be shown. These conditions were agreed to on the part of the Cam pus Movie. in the columns of the Oregon Daily Emerald on February 15 of this year, the source of the finan cial aid was made public. The entire working capital of the Campus Movie was subscribed to by students and faculty members. This group not only invested sev eral thousand dollars in the enter prise, but shouldered the respon sibility of guaranteeing subse quent liabilities which were neces sarily many. A large proportion of the ex penditures of the Campus Movie have gone into the purchasing of the best film available, securing the rental of a first rate camera, and the printing of the picture in a laboratory that would assure excellent quality. The proceeds of the picture will be used to pay outstanding liabil ities, and to reimburse those who invested their money in the pro ject. Such a plan was made and fully approved by the University before the picture was even be gun, and has been strictly ad hered to. VERNE NOT SPOILED BY SUCCESS IN CAMPUS FILM (Continued from Page Three) movies. I’m going Into business with my dad.” “Do you think it would be a good idea to have a movie every year?” “No,” he said, “because it is too expensive, and then it takes too much time. It isn't like a play of any kind. It’s a big undertaking. Sometime the school might dis cover a potential star, but it isn’t worth it. “One thing I’d like to say, though, to go into the paper, is that the cast appreciated all the help the students gave. So many of them turned out and helped us. If it weren’t for them it just could n’t have been.” The interview was over, and the reporter walked down the street with the star. It was dusk. Neither said anything. One thing was supremely evident from the interview: all the John Gilbert— Gary Cooper—Buddy Rogers pic tures hadn’t made him conceited— not any more than any junior is with his first pair of dirty cords. PHYLLIS VAN KIMMELL DOESN’T LIKE MOVIE LOVE (Continued from Page Three) win the golf championship. I’m not athletic. "We had a perfect time working i on the movie,” she changed the subject and put her hair back over one ear, “but I think it is too big an undertaking. It nearly drove us crazy. “I can see now,” Phyllis was very serious, "how those people can go to extremes. It's so hard on your nerves. I don’t blame them for going out on the toots they do.
