with the current football sesson
needing only the annual "bowl"
games In various part of the coun
try to brlrg the year's fever to a
climax. It Is fitting that the finest
football picture yet with football as
Incidental to the main story of this
year should be at the New Craterian
theater today, where It opens a three
day showing. It la "Navy Blue and
Gold." with- an Army-Navy game aa
the climactic thrill to a series of
grldlrou adventures that have Robert

Young, Stewart and Brown portray
three cadets from different parts of

paying his way through a southern
university: Stewart as an ordinary
seaman who manages to pass the
test for entrance to the academy:
Brown aa the son of rich and socially
prominent New York folk. Both
Young and Stewart fall In love with
Brown's sister, Florence Rice, and It
is this rivalry that brings on much
of the drama and no Uttle of the
comedy with which the picture
abounds. Many scenes of the film
were actually made at Annapolis.
As added attraction on the pro
gram, the Craterian has two excep
tionally outstanding subjects, "The
Romance of Radium." with the usual
wise-cracking Pete Smith awed with
the wonderment of the drama he
discovered in the production of this
fascinating subject. The other at
