THRILLS GALORE IN "BAGDAD" FILM Douglas Fairbanks will, in "The Thief of Bagdad," at the Star theater Sunday and Monday, transport his audience to' the land of mystery and romance, where all things are possi ble and all dreams come true. This "Thief of Bagdad" is, according to all accounts, a glorious fantasy of the Arabian Nights. In it the agile Doug leads the way through the winding streets of Bagdad, past the farfamed bazaars, stopping long enough to pick up a string of pearls or a gorgeous robe; down into the den of thieves and then over the palace walls into the boudoir of the beauteous Princess of Bagdad; a journey over the desert to the Old Man of the Sea, a descent t'i the bottom of the sea, and then up to the Citadel of the Moon. A Winged Horse, a Silver' Wishing Box, a Gold en Apple with the secret of life in its core, and then up to the Caliph's palace again. Greatest of all is the tdventure which lies in the Magic Carpet on which the Thief and Prin cess soar over the house-tops. The flamour and thrills that came with a childhood reading of the "Arabian Nights," are doubled in "The Thief rf Bagdad." It is said to be a re markable visualization of the glories of Old Bagdad, with nothing to mar the beauty or to weaken the intensity of the fantasy. The fantastic spirit o; the thing is carried out 'to the smallest detail. The vases, urns, stair ways, walls and even the rose blush in the Princess' garden have all been touched with a wand of magic. The illusion is complete. It is a land of dreams and romance, where humor, however, 1b not unknown and where "happiness must be earned." Doug las Fairbanks is said to have selected a splendid role, the greatest of hit career. It is, then, Fairbanks at his best the Fairbanks who scales walls, drops into rose bushes, leaps over anything that obstructs his way, and rides prancing horses through the clouds, and soars over the house-tops cn a Magic Carpet. He is supported by an excellent cast. The part of the Princess is delightfully played by the attractive Julanne Johnston. The Pine Tree and a Christ mat Inspiration THE creaking, crunching snow under foot, as well ai the crisp, frosty air bespoke a temperature some degrees below xero. How ever, native mid-westerners looked for, anticipated and expected a quantity of snow and cold weather for the Christmas holidays. Their expectations were usually right, with an added cold stretch long before the holidays, and long after them. The hard lines of the massive, bulky, stone Central Administration building of the college was delight fully contrasted against the dead white, fluffy, falry-Uke snow all about It This building, as did four others, faced a huge stretch of campus, with groupings of trees scatered pleasingly about to break the wide expanse. Trees, heavily hung with the almost artificial looking cottony webbing formed an artistic group across the road and In front of the building. In the center of the group stood a well formed, tall, perfect specimen of a long-needled pine. It was singled out to be the proud possessor of many-colored lights distributed about generously among Its branches. Deserving of praise was this awesome tree, and Its sur roundings. Silhouetted against the sky, form ing a background for the proud pine tree stood the campanile, the pride of every student on the campus. In the dull afterglow of the winter twilight the chimes were extolling the Christmas carols. At the foot of the narrow wind ing staircase of iron which leads to the belfry of the campanile, upon close Inspection could be seen a maid and young man not the first time, nor would it be the last time the campanile should witness such a sight. The meeting had been planned in view of their separa tion on the morrow when both would go to their homes. Moved by the sight of the proud pine, Its symbolism, and the chimes, they bade each other farewell In fond embrace, carrying away with them the spirit of the proud pine tree In their hearts.
