WHAT SHOW TONIGHT ? COLONIAL—Charles Chaplin 1 in "City Lights.” Heilig — “The Lightning Fly er.” James Hall. McDonald — William Haines in i "Tailor-Made Man.” State • "Little Accident” and "Case of Sergeant Grischa.” Haines nt McDonald William Haines, fast and glib, one of the best liked "wisecrack ers” of the screen, appears for the last time today at the McDonald theatre in “A Tailor Made Man.” In this comedy, Haines takes the part of a pants-presser who ' sallies forth to the elite parts of a big city in borrowed evening clothes. A series of laughably compromising situations, the main one centering around finding the "one and only” girl, makes pleas ant amusement. State Has Double Bill The weekly Tuesday double bill at the State theatre today includes. Doug Fairbanks Jr., in “Little Ac cident,” and "The Case of Sergeant Grischa.” Both are well known features whose second run should draw large crowds. Chaplin Film Is Sensation "City Lights,” awaited for three years as a defiant gesture against talking pictures by Charles Chap lin, the last of the silent stars, is at last being revealed to Colonial theatre patrons today and the rest of the week. No speaking voices, though the use of sound is made with striking effect, and the sensation of silent pantomime after these few years of talking pictures, makes this si lent experiment of Chaplin’s indeed a sensation. In his own words he describes the film as a romantic comedy in pantomime. It is in deed that, including many laughs, and a dash of exquisite pathos. Charles Chaplin in a scene from “City Lights.” Hellig Has Thrill Film A daredevil race between a high powered automobile and a loco motive going full blast, the stirring spectacle of a wild freight dashing pell rnell down a steep grade, are samples of stock thrills that bol ster up the stock romantic story of "The Lightning Flyer,” with James Hall, and featured at the Heilig Theatre today. Will please the average millions.

Buy Book on Business By Banker, Says Dean ‘‘Radical ideas from a conserva tive sources,” is the best way to explain the latest book on busi ness,” according to Dean David E. Faville, of the school of business administration. The book is ‘Busi ness Adrift,’ by Wallace B. Don ham, dean of the Harvard graduate school of business administration since 1919. “The author, former vice-presi dent and at present a director of the Old Colony Trust company, which is one of the more consorva tive institutions of its kind, ad vises business men to wrake up to labor conditions,” the dean said.

Hauls for ('aiupus Use Arc Grown Here Already the miniature green house back of the infirmary which was constructed by the University last term is being made to serve its purpose.

When these become of sufficient, size they will be transplanted to cul ture beds located at various places on the campus and from there they will be transplanted to their permanent location, Mr. Nicklson said. In previous years the University I University Band Gives Best Performance Yet at Concert .— *— • i Stalin's Musicians Bring Large Audience To Hall By HAVE WILSON The increase in the size of the crowds which attend the concerts given by the University band is testimony of the constantly im proving quality of its performance. A near capacity crowd filled the music auditorium Sunday after noon to hear John Stehn's concert bandsmen give the best program they have presented in the past two years. Better co-ordination between the brass and wind sec tions, and considerably improved intonation were the earmarks of the general improvement, together with much smoother handling of the slow passages which in former years have made band audiences a bit uncomfortable. The program opened with a march, “The Noble Commander,” which was played with good mar tial spirit spiced with discriminat ing shadings of tone' and volume which made it suitable hors d’oeuvres for a formal program. Director Stehn explained the or ganization and the themes of Mas sanet’s overture to “Phedre” be fore the band swung into it. His remarks stimulated the audience’s enjoyment of the musical version of the old Greek legend as set down in Racine’s tragedy. The la ment of Phedre was well done by clarinets and flutes, and the brasses showed to advantage in the storm scene. Ethelbert Nevin’s suite, "A Day in Venice,” was done with the grace of a stringed orchestra. The catchy rhythm of “The Gondoliers” vied for attention with the grace ful waltz time of “Dawn,” and "Venetian Love Song” and “Good Night” were given a lyrical treat ment in which the French horns did most of the work and did it well. The “Blue Danube Waltzes” (Strauss) ran through all the va riations, and were given a well modulated Viennese sparkle which has made them world favorites for two generations. Liszt's Second Hungarian Rhap sody is a big mouthful for any band or orchestra, but the student musicians polished it off very cred itably. Director Stehn’s reading seemed a bit slower than the ac cepted standard in the first half of the work, but the last part and the finale were superbly done. The clarinets figured strongly in the success of the rendition, aided and abetted by some nice French horn technique. Throughout the program percus sion was ably handled, and the tubas climbed out of the football band class very definitely into the concert field. has had to purchase all shrubbery and other plants used in land scaping the campus, and it is thought that the establishment of the green house will result in a considerably saving. It may also be used in performing some bo tanical experiments.

The con test was held at Pacific (calm, quiet, peaceful) college, New berg, Oregon, (also calm, quiet, peaceful). “We plunged ourselves into the last war to make the world safe for democracy, yet nations are preparing, during this period of armistice, for a more devas tating war,” Pfaff declared.

In the past it has been cus tomary for girls to sign up to be Big Sisters, with about three hun dred generally used. Each girl was then assigned one or two lit tle sisters, and her main job was to help them with registration. This year the number of Big Sis ters has been materially reduced, and each Big Sister will have about ten freshman women to help get adjusted to college life and activities. The Big Sister job this year will be one of personnel work, Miss Macduff declared. YWCA Meetings W ill Open W ith Singing At 7:45 on every second anc fourth Tuesday of each month thi: term, the Y.
