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.

“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.

Excerpts from Friml’s lovely

contrast to the slow andante tem

which followed.
"Slavonic Rhapsody” by Friede

lowed all instruments an oppor

An encore, “American Patrol,”

Dr. Inazo Nitobe
Gives Opinion on
Japanese Trouble
i _
The fear of Russia, the violation
of Japanese treaty rights by the
Chinese, and the disorganized state
of China which has made Japan
suffer for 20 years, are three rea
sons w’hy Japan went to Man
churia, Dr. Inazo Nitobe, of Tokio,
j told a group of Eugene ministers
; yesterday afternoon at the Firsi

Dr. Nitobe is probably the most
j prominent Japanese that ever vis

A NEW rental plan whereby

tem was announced this week
by Miss Nancy Roberts, in

This plan provides students

“Japan Uoesn’t want Manchu

buffer state to protect herself
j from Soviet Russia, which Japan
fears,” the Japanese statesman
said. He pointed out that the Rus

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

to put a check to the further
spread of communistic doctrine.”

Bathing Dress of Bygone Day
At 'Co-Op1 in W.A.A. 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.
