Colonial To Show Russian Picture Depicting a phase of Russia that has become one of the most inter esting in that country’s history, the “Road to Life,’’ playing at the Colonial theatre tomorrow and Thursday, is a picture that is high ly recommended by leading critics in the United States. The movie tells the story of the adventures of the “Wild Boys of Russia,” that group of young boys who during their regeneration constructed 50 miles of railroad, built their own homes, raised their own food and built a diminutive civilization for themselves. John H. Mueller, professor in the sociology department at the University, spent months in Russia on a recent trip and after viewing the film declared it to be one of the most authentic he had ever seen. The dialogue of the picture is in Russian but is explained with PI n g 1 i s h sub-titles which are worked in so smoothly that none of the effects of the attraction is lost. The picture has a slight plot to hold it together and to provide continuity but the main feature, of course, is to give a description of the Russian customs and life. INTERNATIONAL PLANS OUTLINED BY DR. NITOBE (Continued from Page One) of all nations, of' bringing diplo mats together into closer contact if the future generation is going to hinder commerce by tariff dis criminations or embargo, or is go ing to instruct the populace of one country to look upon that of another as a hypothetical enemy, or if it is going to regard the dip lomat of one government as the spy of another. If we want inter national cooperation, we must not be content with its form and ma terial only. It must be voluntary and sincere. Dr. Nitobe, who is a member of the Japanese house of peers, was from 1919 to 1927 under-secretary of the League of Nations. He has held many important international offices and is a leader in this field in his own country. He is now making a tour of the United States under the auspices of the Institute of Pacific Relations. Law Group Meets Otto Frohnmayer, senior in the law school and president of the lo cal chapter of Phi Delta Phi, na tional law honorary, represented the University chapter at the Province convention in Portland Friday and Saturday at the Mult nomah hotel. SHINE LOG •CABIN SHOP Next to Colonial | - CINEMA - ; By BOB GUILD COLONIAL—Washington Mas querade. McDONALD—Silver Dollar | - “Silver Dollar” Something new in the line of j epics, this time of the rough and | ready Leadville days of Colorado, when gold was the sesame that opened the gates of the wide world. The tale works its way up through the discovery of silver, the chance millions of Yates Martin, pioneer Coloradoan, the collapse of silver, and the death of the builder of | Denver. Great bits of picture here, j It has scope, depth and perspec i tive; it has irony, comedy and j tragedy; and its good entertain j ment from start to finish. For I once Liberty didn't go wrong on-its four-star choice. Especially good is Edward Rob inson, who plays his role in a j hearty beefsteak and onions fash 1 ion, which we are ready to believe ! is to the life. The story of the rise and fall of the silver empire was a natural for the movie busi ness-—if we didn't know this was from fact we'd be inclined to think of the super-colossal imagination of the moguls that make 'em J Bebe Daniels is very beautiful as i Yates’ second wife, the trollop that rode to fame behind his gran diloquence. and Aline MacMahon is very good indeed - as the bride of his gloomier days. # * * “Washington Masquerade” This is a tale o: the mad, mad capitol of this country and a sen ator and a beautiful girl -stop me if you’ve heard it. Nevertheless, and notwithstanding, it boasts : Lionel Barrymore and Karen Mor ] ley. With these two no picture could be bad. "Washington Mas querade" is timely and to the point, and if it just falls short of ring ing the bell on greatness, it is still very fine entertainment value. The Colonial's new price policy has taken a bit of the ginger out of dime night, but this is the nigh*, and for ten cents you can go, and couples are twenty. You’ll prob ably like it. University Band | Division in First Concert Sunday j Beginning with Lenhart’s i “Guard of Honor March," a typi j cal military number, the secona | division of the University band, : under the leadership of John H. j Stehn, director, presented its first concert of the new year Sunday. “Morning, Noon, and Night in Vienna" by Suppe was character ized by solos for one clarinet and clarinet section and by many cres cendos, finishing in a grand crash of all instruments. Excerpts from Friml’s lovely “Rose Marie" was a delightful contrast to the slow andante tem i po of Beethoven’s “Worship of God | in Nature” and of Bach’s “Choral,” which followed. "Slavonic Rhapsody” by Friede mann, a very beautiful number al-# lowed all instruments an oppor tunity to give their best perform ance. An encore, “American Patrol,” consisting of several melodies in cluding “Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean,” “Dixie,” and Yankee Doodle” played in true band style concluded the program.

She is seeking only to form a buffer state to protect herself j from Soviet Russia, which Japan fears,” the Japanese statesman said. He pointed out that the Rus sian encroachment is shown by the creation of the Republic of Mongo lia, whore the Russians are keep ing out foreigners including the Chinese, unless they present a passport from Moscow. “Using Mongolia as a base," he continued, “Russia’s next advance will be in Manchuria where she could get an ico-free port.

Display By ELINOR HENRY “Mother may I go out to swim? Yes, my darling daughter, But if you show an inch cf limb Don't come out of the water:” —1890 Warning. The W. A. A. intramural swim ming display in the Co-op window might well be termed a “study in abbreviations.” First it was the sleeves, then the pantalettes- and then they began slashing .wildly at the top and the bottom—and then a cut or two in between—and, lo! a modern bathing suit . . . pardon —swimming suit! Maidenly modesty has apparent ly taken a high dive and sunk out of sight, leaving freed femininity to cavort aquatically as she will. But picture a percale-draped and dripping figure dragging itself out of a shallow pool; then imagine a slim body flashing through the air to momentarily cut the surface of deep water and rise buoyantly and swiftly to the surface again -then make any judgments you wish on comparative modesty, safety, en joyment, and beauty. The two cups around which the display centers arc offered as priz es by the Women’s Athletic asso ciation in the intramural swim ming meets to be held this term, One is for the inter-house contest and the other for the winning class. Agnes Morgan is in charge of the contests. The 1890, 1900, 1910, and 192C bathing suits were loaned by the Jantzen Knitting mills and the 1932 model by McMorran and Washburne. -: EMERALD DOWN FOR 4 DAY WEEK BY SLASH (Continued from Page One) large slashes proportionately as the four above activities.
