MAJESTIC

Constance Talmadge will appear for
the last time today in her latest ve-
hicle. "In Search of a Sinner." In
this comedy production, the popular
star will play one of the sort of parts
in which she so excels, a dashing wid-
ow.
"In Search of a Sinner" is said to
one of the fair Constance's very best
films
, The other half of a double com-
. edy bill will consist of the Mack Sen-
ett comedy, "The Star Boarder,"
which is full of this producer's re-
nowned fun-making tactics.
THE ARCADE
"Alias Jimmy Valentine," in a screen
version, is the film in which Bert Ly-
tell will glimmer for the last times

today at the Arcade. This play by
Paul Armstrong enjoyed a long run on
the legitimate stage and was chos-
en as especially suitable for the dis-
play of the newly discovered acting
abilities of Bert Lytell.
The Christie comedy, "Fuss and Fol-
ly" will be the humorous attraction.
REGISTRAR HALL MAILS GRADES

progress of graduates coming to the

CRITICISES MOVIE SHOW
Editor, The Michigan Daily:
I'm nursing a grouch, Mr. Editor,
and that grouch has to do with the
movie situation here.
The other evening I saw a show ad-
vertised at one of the local moving
picture houses. Says I to myself,
"That ought to be a good picture," so
I paid good money and in I went.
Well, the first thing I noticed was
that the manager had not taken the
recent hints handed out for the show
was preceded by a string of ads guar-
anteed to drive a millionaire crazy in
these days of the H. C. of movie shows,
let alone a poor college student. Next
came a pitiful attempt to imitate the
Literary Digest's "Topics of the Day;"
then an unusually poor combination
of so-called "educational" films.
Next we were treated to one of the
poorest excuses for comedies I've seen
in many a day. Honestly, Mr. Editor,
it was so lacking in plot, action, sense
and humor that it was enough to bring
real tears into the eyes of a brass
monkey. It was far worse than the
average comedy and you know how
bad that is.
Somewhere in my past history I
have seen that picture before but when!
or where I cannot remember; it was
too long ago. It was one of the old
boys, dug up out of the scrap-heap
of some hard-up movie house, recap-
tioned and sent on its way to fool the
public. But if they want to fool the
wary public, Mr. Editor, they ought
first to remove all signs of antiquity
from the film. The age of this one!
was evidenced by the fact that the
only motor car in the play had acetyl-
ene lamps in front and their old kero-
sene assistants at the side.
The story was one of "college life,"
the kind we all used to read about.
If our producers would take some
time off and go to college once they
would rewrite more than one scenario
I'm thinking.
And the music at that show? Call
it "music" if you like. It was the old
pre-war, unemotional, shiver-my-tim-
bers kind which might do at a dist-
ance of a mile or so but which, in a
more or less crowded, theater, is ruin-
ous to ear-drums and nervous sys-
tems. Moreover, the musicians seem-
ed to need contant encouragement; a
riot of good old shuffling and stamp-
ing was apparently all that could keep
them awake and on the job. It must
be nice to get paid to watch movies.
Mr. Editor, I'm cured;' absolutely
cured. I paid good American cash to
see that show. Now I'm through. I'm
not writing this as propaganda but let
me say this, when a manager is too
-dense to use student demonstrations
of one kind or another as a criterion
in choosing his pictures, then there is
only one way to wake him up and
that is to patronize someone else.
How about it, Mr. Editor?

We don't have to explain who "Jim

than Leap Year-and fully as dangerous
He's craftier than a twice-widow stalking

the man who marries her. The most mag

famous than the Eighteenth Amendment
and many times as popular.

A possibility of a trip to Japan, should
the baseball team show up well, is
hoped to stimulate interest among the

Colgate College-Students and fra-
ternities of Colgate have pledged
themselves individually to support the
honor sytem more effectively. At a
mass meeting it was brought out that
the main reason for the apparent fail-
ure of the honor system lately was the
unwillingness of the students to report
another for the violation of the code.
Massachusetts Institute of Technol-
ogy-"The Tech," the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology paper, is in-
stituting a search through its columns
for the donor of Technology's mil-
lions. Henry Clay Frick is among
those who fulfill the two conditions,
namely, that of not- being a Massa-
chusetts man or a Technology alum-
nus. This is the only clue that has
been run down so far in the mystery
of who gave the institute $7,000,000.
Columbia University-According to
plans now under way at Columbia un-
iversity a system of training similar
to that employed for, the two or three
weeks before the annual Poughkeep-
sie regatta will be introduced during
the entire season. The plan consists
of installing a training table in the
Gould boat house and also providing
sleeping quarters for the first team
and the leading substitutes.
'The practice in past years has been,
to put the Columbia oarsmen through1
a hit-or-miss regime during the early'
part of the season and have real train-
ing only in the last few weeks. The
new plan has met with the approval
of the Columbia crew authorities and
