In spite of the reprovals.that we feel sure will come from the clean sports advocates, hockey owes a great deal of its claim to popularity to the frequent fights. They make the game m),Vre ex citing. They are what the spectators secretly hope for and what they really come to see. Consequently, the fights have become part of the game F&r this reason, we are not as ashaincd of our hockey team as we might be when we see one of the members punch an opponent in the jaw. We are really not ashamed at all. In fact, secretly, of course, we are glad, and, if he wins the fight before the referee benches him, a little bit proud.

W ATER HAS BEEN a dominant po- litical issue in Ann Arbor for years, as important to the city as the beer ques- tion is and has been to the nation. All that has been necessary to start a controversy has been to utter the word, "water." But, for the past year, the issue has been dor- mant. A few weeks ago the water board threw a bombshell to break the spell when it recommend-a E. EBEERBACH& SON CO. ESTABLISHED 1843 WHEN JUSTICE TRIUMPHS Prosecutor Albert J; Rapp has withdrawn charges against William K. Richards, air-minded defrauder of students and local merchants. Rich- ards is free and homeward bound to discuss the matter with his father and "voluntarily" enter a Minnesota institution to "rest and recover."- It seems that Richards has paid his debts to the big business interests of the city and evidently thus satisfied, the court has withdrawn the prosecu- tion. It matters little that many students were fleeced and that some had to borrow money in order to return home for Christmas vacation. Those who were taken home were not brought back in spite of the round trip agreement of the tickets. Richards had advertised 3 1-2 hour service to New York in tri-motored, dual-piloted, heated, mail planes equipped with radio beacon. Those who were "fortunate" enough to receive half-way transportation were taken in small, refrigerated, single piloted, single-motored planes, which had no radio facilities whatsoever. (The writers are omitting the marked details of the trip as these cannot be blamed upon Richards) At any rate, the plane reached its destination after about 6 1-2 hours actual flying time. Now that the merchants of Ann Arbor have been repaid, the amount owed the students seems to be of no concern. The court, under control of Judge Sample, deserves much praise for allowing the outcome of the matter to rest upon the dis- cretion of the mentally unbalanced criminal. Since when are swindlers permitted to go free and return home to talk things over with their parents? -(Ci. M.) (W. L.)

Myrna ,Loy Red Regan ............ William Gargan Who said the best acting was in' the old days of the silents? This picture goes to show that soon our pro- phecy will come true-that the greatest actors will all be in the films. Look at Arliss, the Barrymores. And Leslie Howard, who was great in '"Outward Bound," though relegated by unintelligent pro- ducers to a comparatively minor part, is little short of superb in "The -Animal Kingdom. Those of you who saw the play in Robert Hen- derson's, wonderful season last spring will recog- nize this as a practically unchanged version; only Ann Harding as the blond mistress is left without many of the funny lines Barry gave Daisy Sage in the play. The novelty in "The Animal Kingdom" is, of course, that the roles assigned to the wife and mistress of Tom Collier are reversed. Collier deserts his mistress--more-than-friend of several years' standing- for a girl he met only a month before, and in the end goes back to the mis- . tress when he finds he has .. to "pay on the mantel" for that which he expects in a wife.

Collier is a smooth, small New York ANN HA WS ipublisher who is' made up slightly older than his man- ner and lines indicate, thus giving the delightful impression of being a wistful kid. William Gargan is his ex-boxer butler, imbibes voer-freely for a domestic and is 'ery funny. His funniest scene: when he, slightly in his cups, trys to gather cour- age to resign while Collier is trying to gather courage to fire him. Good shots: Tom appraising Cecelia's charms on the night their betrothal is announced; Daisy, the mistress, asking Collier to marry her, in her high apartment overlooking the East River. Typical good lines: the famous one about the brass monkeys, injected into a conversation with ultra-smoothness; Collier telling his butler that he is leaving Cecelia. We disagree with the frequent criticism leveled against "The Animal Kingdom": that H wai'd. and Harding are too lifelike to be plausible. Ce- celia is perhaps more lifelike than Daisy Sage, but there is little doubt in our minds but that they are plausible enough. Added: Hal Roach's Taxi Boys in "Taxi for Two" (pretty funny in spots); Paul Tompkins mixing tunes, tempos, and colors on the organ. -W. S. W.
