to an even greater extent than Ameri-
can rubber consumers are worrying
over the British monopoly of rubber.
The motion picture industry, domi-
nated by American producers since its
first small begihning, is, according to
many students of international affairs,
Americanizing the world..
In an effort to combat the over-
whelming proportion of American1
made moving pictures now being
shown in the theaters of the British'
Isles, the\Federation of British Indus-
tries is urging en the government the
necessity of adopting a quota scheme,
whereby a motion : picture registry
board will be created, the duty of
which shall be to register all movies
to be shown in Britain, requiring that
a certain percentage of these, event-
ual y three British to every five for-
eign, shall be British films.
Reports from London indicate that
the government, recognizing the fact
that 30,000,000 persons attend moving
picture shows in Great Britain week-
ly, is certain to take some action to
cut down the amount of Aierican
propaganda that results from the
present preponderance of American-
made films, but has not yet decided
whether the quota scheme will pro-
vide the correct solution. Many Brit-
ish patriots are alarmed over what
they describe as the "Americaniza-
tion" of the middle classes by the pic-!
;tuxes from United States studios.
Travelers from Great Britain in the
colonies, especially Australia, have
returned home with stories that the
people are rapidly becoming, in many
respects, more like those of the
United States than those of England,
due to the fact that they see AmericanI
customs and American habits depicted!
daily on their moving picture screens.
The value of the movie as an agent
for spreading propaganda has longI
I been recognized, and England is de-
sirous of using it for her own bene-
fit, and not for the Americanization of
I her subjects.
President Coolidge, the New York
Times announces, narrowly escaped
being run down by an automobile last
I Monday. Fresh air has its handicaps.

THOSE FOSSIL PEARLS ,
Dear Sir Toby:
It is perfectly evident from Sun-
day's paper that you have not seen
those fossil pearls. They are the size1
of shriveled peas. Now 20,000,000'
years ago only mastodons and mega-
theria 'roamed the earth. As you
know (or will learn if you investigate
the subject), these animals are as
big as houses. These pearls are sot
small that animals so large could'
not possibly have seen them without
the use of a microscope. Now whot
ever heard of men, much less ani-
mals, playing marbles or golf with
microscope?I

The Sad Tale of Country Innocence
Amid The Vile Intrigues Of ,

I was only a poor chorus man.
How could I know what to do? I was
dumb but happy. Ah, how happy 1
was! Alt, 'how dumb! Everything
went well with me until that day, that
fateful day when I met Her. How
beautiful she looked that first day
I saw her. She sent me down a note
by the usher, saying she wanted to
take me to supper. after the show. I
agreed little realizing what my ulti-
mate fate would be.
I met her that night at the place
she appointed. How beautiful she
was! She was dressed not in restrain-
ed colors as a less original and en-
terprising woman would, but in
startling green and mauve. Her dress
was of that slinky, snaky sort that
Nita Naldi always wears But I must
pause and recollect,-this is no fash-
ion magazine. When I found out how
beautiful she was I also found out
her name. She was Mrs. --, the
dashing society matron who lived with
but always was fighting her hus-~
band.
Of course, she fell in love with me,
although of that I had no idea until
long afterward. But at that, how
could she help, with my slender fig-
ure with its graceful strength, and
my not too masculine features, hand-
some, yet not girlish ,striking, yet I
not too brutish.
"We must become good friends,"
she said, her oriental eyes fastening
themselves upon me like some Greek
basiliak. To this I assented. Why
not? I was young and innocent, hav-
ing come to New York from the cou-
try only a few weeks before. Besides,
friends are always good things to
have, and when they can afford to pay,
the dinner checks they are doubly
worth while. So, as I have said be-
fore, I assented.
Then she suggested that she give
me a party to introduce me to her so-
ciety friends. It was here that I
found myself in a predicament. How
was I to refrain from using the
Wrong Fork? I, who hod never han-
died more than one such implement
at the same meal in all my life? It,
was then that this vile hearted wo-
man's fell purpose manifested itself.

in those hearty years was largely
musclebound, and to be the leading
man demanded sheer athletic endur-
ance. There were fistfights in their
plays, custard pies were flung two
centuries ahead of this cinematogra-
phic age, and the humor occasionally
made the ladies blush through the
carmine of their cheeks.
Even today their rowdy farces can
give no offense, so board and frank
are the gestures; and even today
their whacking good spirits, the whole
robust good nature of the lines are
making the revival of these comedies
amazingly successful entertainment.
After all, it is the old hokum which
makes the box-office plod on, and
Shakespeare, Moliere, Jonson, Hol-
berg are reproving their triumphant
sense of unholy farce.
The Mimes' production of Holberg's
"Beggarman"-its accurate title is
"Jeppe of the Hill," save that no one
would patronize such a name-is at-
tempting to capture such a bouncing
atmosphere, even at the risk of a few
matrons leaving in shocked indigna-
tion as was the case with "Great
Catherine." There is to, be a cow-
bell jazz orchestra-at least the
spirit, if not the letter, of the fifteenth
century-settings of colors that
jangle, and costumes as grotesque as
their characters.
The entire undertaking-the first
performances in America-is another
experiment: remember "Great Cah-
erine" and "Engaged."

THE FACULTY CONCERT
A review, by Alan HathwayT
The School of Music string quartet
opened the Faculty Concert program
with a group of numbers by Schu-
mann, starting with rather a of co-
ordination, but with a striking mel-
ody. After the second number the I
technicalities were better mastered
and the whole was made pleasing by
the continuity of melody. Mr. Samuel;
Lockwood's success with the technical
work supplimented by Miss Pauline
Kaiser's vigor and heartfulness were
perhaps the outstanding points.
The vocal solos rendered by Miss
Nora Crane Hunt, a rich contralto
voice stirred the greatest enthusiasm
of the audience during the program,
bringing her back for an encore,
Homer's 'Dearest' after four well bal-
anced numbers. Her voice was full
toned and her numbers rich in expres-
sion. The accompanist, Miss Grace
Richards added materially to the
vocal renditions of the singer by her
impressive touch.
The appearance of Mr. Albert Lock-
wood and Mrs. Marion Struble-Free-
man, who with the string quartet gave
a concert ensemble visibly lifted the
instrumental numbers from possible
mediocrity. These two carried the
main burden of Chausson's 'Concerto,
D major' throughout twenty minutes
of expressive art.
THE ORGAN RECITAL
The following program will be pre-
sented by Mr. Christian tomorrow
afternoon at four-fiteen o'clock in
Hill auditorium for the weekly Organ
Recital:
Prelude and Fugue in D major..Bach
En Bateau .................. Debussy
Beatitude ..................... Bossi
Pierre a Notre Dame.....Boellman
Toccata .................. Boellman
Rondo Capriccio ..............emare
Ave Maria .................Schubert
Finale (Symphony 1) .........Vierne
"The Drawn Shade" also "Portrait of
a White Sheet." This is one of his
few human studies.
