“All Quiet” at Rex
In "All Quiet on the Western
Front,” playing today at the Rex,
thousands of men go down to
death in the horrible, searing in
ferno of battle to show the effect
on the souls of men. To this same
end, others are tortured and
maimed by wounds inflicted by
shot and steel. To this end, thou
sands of shells whine and scream
their maddening way across the
battlefields of Europe which the
hate of man has turned into the
living grave of youth.
The film is beyond all power of
words to describe. It holds one
so entranced as to lose personal
identity, carrying audiences along
horrified but hypnotized, swearing
by all the gods to rot in prison
before adding their hates to an
other conflict.

A fine attempt to convey to the
audience a glimpse of the stirring,

In spite of a weak, puerile plot,

“Sez Sue”
SHOPPING NEWS
“Sue” was conversing recently
with a very prominent stylist from
New York and “Sue” is passing on
to you some hints. It seems that
some of the newest skirts swing
their fullness to the front, giving a
straighter silhouette, and that pleats
are another outgrowth of this vertical persuasion. As
to necklines, the semi-cowl is the newest collar develop
ment. with 1 he daytime necklines rising and the evening
deeolletage lower in the back. “Watch your styles!”
says “Sue.”
Costume
Accessories!
My, how needy they are—
because they put just that
final individual touch to each
costume. If it is an enamel
compact, jev/elry, mesh bags,
watches or even repairs,
just go into Laraway’s Jew
elry store on Willamette and
you’ll certainly find what
you want. “Sue” saw some
very pretty mesh bags in
black and white, and pastel
shades, also just the things
to put in them—enamel com
pacts and pocket perfume
flacons. "Sue” advises you
to go in before the last min
ute and then you can see
other tempting articles.
“Corsage
de Luxe”
For the Military Ball can
be made at the University
Florist on Thirteenth and
you will certainly be satis
fied. Sweeping evening
gowns call for that finer
touch which skillfully-made
corsages achieve. If your
boy-friend has any doubt as
to'.the shade of your gown,
just let nim have the florist
call you and then all will be
corresponding. Violets, gar
denias, lily of the valley,
sweet peas, and many other
flowers all go into the mak
ing of the "corsage de luxe."
Every Woman
Knows
That no evening dress is
truly smart without at least
one lovely jewel to set it off.
With all the formals sched
uled for this term, you
should be choosing the jewel
ry for your new formal. At
the Oriental Art Shop, next
to the Eugene Hotel, can be
found imported Oriental and
Italian jewelry in all sorts
of rings and pendants and
earrings. And some of the
very loveliest of all are one
third of their regular price
now! See them today.
It's Hard to Tell
W hen you see Buster
Brown's beautiful hosiery
display whether the hose are
more like $2 or $2.50 values
—and when you learn that
they are regularly $1.50 now
priced at $1, you’ll be as
aghast as “Sue” was! A
pair of these silk-to-the-top
hose, full-fashioned and in
the new spring shades, will
be just what you have been
looking for to complete your
latest ensemble. They are so
very good-looking that you
will want several pairs too.
