"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!

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.”

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.

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.

“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—

with his first pair of dirty cords.

"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.
