WHAT SHOW TONIGHT?

Heilig Richard Earthelmess
in “The Dawn Patrol.”
State—Bessie Love in "Cha.s

Drama of Tiger Hunt Comes
From Marco Polo to Kipling,
tellers of tales have used India
as the background for some of
their most interesting narratives.
Now the talking pictures have dis
covered its possibilities and its
contrasts of poverty and splendor,
densely inhabited cities and wide
expanse of jungle, vice, and relig
ion, insinuate themselves into the
talking motion picture, “Hunting
Tigers in India,” which starts a
three-day run at the Colonial to
night.
McDonald Shows Fine Western
Those who crave action in their
pictures will find plenty of it in
King Vidor’s new M-G-M talkie,
“Billy the Kid,” which opens today
at the Fox McDonald for a three
day run.
With John Mack Brown as the
historic Billy, 21-year-old terror of
New Mexico in the '80’s, and the
inimitable Wallace Beery as Sher
iff Garrett, Vidor has recreated
what is probably the most exciting
tale of the old west. And he has
done the job faithfully, with the
only authorized addition of being
the love interest in the person of
Kay Johnson who as usual contrib
utes a distinctive charm to her
role.
All the fervor and adventure of
the old frontier days have been
included in this picture which de
picts the famous three-day siege
which ends in the burning of the
McSween home with “The Kid”
making a run for his life.
Karl Dane is funnier than ever
as a Swedish cowboy, and historic
characterizations are admirably
portrayed by Wyndham Standing,
Russell Simpson, Blanche Freder
ici, Roscoe Ates, Warner P, Rich
mond and James Marcus.
Backstage Comedy at State
Bessie Love starts a two-day
run at the State theatre today in
Chasing Rainbows,” with Charlie
King as the support.
The picture is a story of a trav
eling theatrical troupe, telling all
about midnight trains, one-night
stands, and quarreling actors. The
veteran comediennes, Marie Dress
ier and Polly Moran in the cast.
Air Pictures at Heilig
“The Dawn Patrol,” starring
Richard Barthelmess and which
opens at the Heilig today for the
rest of the week, is the most costly
picture Barthelmess has appeared
in since the coming of the talkies.
It took twice as long to make and
thousands of extras were used in
the outdoor scenes. Two huge air
dromes and battlefields were con
structed on location, and twenty
airplanes were used in air sequenc
es. Right planes were crashed for
thrilling effects.
Cannibal Action at Ilex
"Gow", the second of Captain
Salisbury’s thrilling pictures will
be shown at the Fox Rex theatre
Tuesday and Wednesday. In it is
depicted the cannibals of Ecuador
and other savage tribes of the low
er hemisphere. Captain Salisbury
makes a personal appearance at
these showings and gives an in
tensely interesting recount of the
strange customs, habits, and ap
pearances of these strange people
who eat their own kin. His mo
tion pictures are of tribes some of
whom had never seen a white man
before, and contains dangerous and
thrilling scenes.

Word has just been received of
the marriage of Miss Mary Cohn,
who was graduated in 1923, to Joe
Brown, who was graduated last
year, on the sixth of October at
the bride's home in Lakeview.
Mr. and Mrs. Brown passed
through Eugene on their way to
the game. They plan to make their
home in Redmond after October

One of the most interesting
guests on the campus last week
was Miss Camilla Anderson, who
was graduated from the Univer
sity in 1925.
Miss Anderson is on her way to
London where she will spend six
months studying tropical medicines
before entraining for Nigeria,
whfere she will serve as a mission

lary. The tour was more weari
some and much more educative
than a tour of our Gerlinger hall.
We looked as wise as we could.
I remember now that the library
was not shown, probably because
the students buy their own paper
bound books from the excellent
book store (Librairle Garneau). A
considerable art gallery was tem
porarily closed but we were shown
a suite of reception rooms hung
with richly framed paintings and
reproductions— Raphaels, Correg
gios, full-length portraits of Eng
lish kings and dukes and a large
portrait of Pius IX, who well rep
resents the spirit of French Can
ada genial but very conservative.
A professor of literature and
rhetoric, in his priestly robes, was
meditatively walking the floor of
his study. When I was introduced,
Monsieur K (as I shall call him)
offered me cigarettes and smoked
a couple himself. Our conversation
contained passages similar to
these:
"What do most of the Laval stu
dents study as their chief inter
est?" I asked.
"About 250 of the 500 study
medicine. The next largest num
ber study law.”
"How many specialize in his
tory?" I asked hopefully.
"None outside of the Ecole Nor
male, which trains the history
teachers. Of course those of our
students who spe c i a 1 i z e in
(French) literature study their his
tory with it.”
"In preparatory school, also, we
give all students a good deal of
history. They have a series of two
hour courses: one year of Greek
history, one year of Homan, one
year of medieval, one year of early
modern, one year of contemporary
European, one-half year of church
history, and one year of Canadian
history.” (The preparatory stage
apparently reaches to the end of
our sophomore year, i. e. to the
threshold of real specialization.
During about two of these years,
students apparently carried two
history courses at a time.)
"Are your classes large?” I
asked.
“No, they are not large.”
"Then you have a chance for
discussion as well as lectures?”
"Yes, we have discussion; but
we depend more upon a written ex
ercise about every month to see
how the students are getting on."
(How familiar!)
“Would I be permitted to visit
some classes today?”
"There are no classes today or
tomorrow. After registration and
the opening of classes, the students
have three days of Retreat, to

Dorothy Thomas
j By DOROTHY WADE
When one mentions football,
Miss Dorothy Thomas is immed
iately interested. And no wonder!
For Miss Thomas has six football
stars in her family, three of whom
are coaches.
Miss ThomAs is one of the small
est girls on the campus, so small
that she has to stand on tiptoe to
see the punts while her six cous
ins are the giant Hanley brothers.
"Dick Hanley, the eldest,” said
Miss Thomas with pardonable
pride, “is head coach at Northwes
tern university, while Roy Hanley
is his assistant.
"Myron Hanley, who played for
| the University of Washington, is
coaching at Nebraska State Col
lege.
"Dick, Roy, and Harold Hanley
played on Washington State team.
When the United States entered
the World war, they joined the ma
rines and all played on the team
at Mare Island, California.
"Leland Hanley played for
Northwestern, and Homer played
on the frosh team at Washington
State college.
"Another unusual fact,” Miss
Thomas smiled, “is that each of
the boys played either end or quar
terback.
"I saw my first game when I
was about three, and have been a
fan ever since.” Miss Thomas la
mented that she had been unable
to see the night football game
with Willamette. “Of course it
would be on preference night, when
we were busy with rushees. But I
certainly saw the Washington
game at Portland,” she emphati
cally concluded.

study hard and to behave them
selves well.”
Monsieur K— graciously con
ducted me to the outside door of
the building, passing classrooms
with fixed chairs and hung with
paintings. As I returned to our
boarding house, I reflected upon
the different lot of the students of
Laval university. They enter the
grey buildings of a university near
ly three hundred years old (1665);
they are taught in small classes by
professors who speak their lan
guage as clearly and beautifully as
Monsieur K—and they have three
days for meditation during the
first week of school. My visit had
doubtless interrupted M. K—’s
own meditation.

Seen at the Game—
Advertising schemes at the big
game in Portland predominated
aerially. A popular radio was ad
vertised by means of a blimp out
lined against the clear sky. An
airplane with a ribbon streamer
trailing behind advertised ice
cream. Ice cream didn’t need ad
vertising in that hot bowl.
Mautz and the “Mike”-—
The human interest element
makes itself conspicuous at various
times in possible conditions. Bob
Mautz, ex-Oregon end, every solid 1
six feet of him, stood on the stand
at the rally Friday night and
boomed out his answer to the in
junction to take the mike. “I
don't need a mike!” he thundered.
And Bob didn’t. He should have
taken the place of those amplifiers
on the field.
Burking Dogs—
The Washington Husky- -the lit
eral one on seeing Oregon's Web
foot waddling around, took out in
hot pursuit, but had to be content
with a couple of barks to his cred
it. Well, a barking dog never bites,
you know.
Half Have No Ticket—
Irony, with more of a numorous
punch, met a ticket buyer face to
face. After waiting patiently in
line for nearly an hour, our friend
finally reached the window only
to have it shut in his face with the
announcement: “Sold out.”

To Take Pictures
For The Oregana
A new photographer employed
especially lor the purpose will take
all the pictures from now on for
the 1931 Oregana, it is announced
by the Kermell-Ellis Studio, where
the work is being done.
One house or hall is being pho
tographed each day, and according
to the present schedule all the ap
pointments will be finished before
the beginning of fall term examin
ations. Those students who for any
reason have been unable to go to
the studio on their appointed days
can be accommodated in the morn
ings only, on account of the full
ness of the schedule.
William DePaus, who is to carry
on the photography work, arrived
in Eugene last week from Los An
geles, where he has been with the
Witzel Studios for the past seven
years. For two years he handled
yearbook pictures for the Univer
sity of California at Los Angeles.
“Mr. DePauk comes to Eugene
direct from the famous Witzel
Studios of Los Angeles and Holly
wood where his portraits have re
ceived national recognition,” Mr.
Ellis said in a statement to the
Emerald yesterday.
Students are taking more inter
est in their Oregana photographs
this year than ever before, accord
ing to Mr. Ellis. The dormitory
representations, instead of the us
ual small number, have been al
most 100 per cent, he said.
just preceding the game, we no
ticed there were nearly as many
people on the field as in the grand

second, third, and fourth teams of
each school, and coaching staffs
hustling and bustling around.

'T'HE total capacity of waterwheel generators

twenty cities of one million population.
Installed in power houses along the waterways,
these machines transform the strength of mighty

YOU don’t have to make any

"Athlete’s Foot.” The glee club
probably has some victims. The
man who gets all his exercise
out of differential calculus, not
to mention the "crammer” and

ing about that redness between
the toes, w ith i-t-c-h-i-n-g. Or it
may show up with a thick, moist
skiij condition. Or again, with
tiny blisters on toes, or a dry
ness with scales.
The fact is, all these symptoms
point straight at the ringworm
germ known to the boys in
Science Hall as tinea trichophy
ton. This tiny parasite of the
vegetable kingdom has infected
about half the men in college,
according to many authorities.
The U. S. Health Service reports
that "at least half of all adults
suffer from it at some time.”
Universities as far apart as Cal
ifornia and Pennsylvania have
found 50% of the men infected.
And the co-eds get it too. Little
tinea trichophyton has made it
self a campus pest.
