AND NEXT WEEK ANOTHER DEPARTMENT WILL BE INTERVIEWED . CONCERNING OUTSTANDING WRITINGS. W. S. N. S.- A SUGGESTION Miniature Leagues of Nations have been organized in the student groups interested in international relations all the way from Mount Holyoke Collge in Massachusetts to the University of Hawaii... Working sessions of these model "Leagues" have proved to be a great help to the teaching of international procedure by the results of greater satisfaction on the part of the student when he finds himself in the position of a delegate in a multi-national assembly of lawmakers This should be a stimulus to those interested in this sort of thing in the Normal. We have the students here who are interested; all we need is the spark of organization. W. S. N. S. "The ability to sell oneself social-lly and in business is the one outstanding benfit that a student can derive from participation in extracurricular activities. The necessity to mix well with other students in activities in order to accomplish anything in campus affairs is excellent discipline. If I train myself to be an efficient committeeman in a class or student body committee, I train myself to be efficent in service work when I become a citizen of my city, state and nation." —U. of W. Daily. W. S. N. S. Fish Well Received in Picture-Talk on Jungle Experiences "Experiences Near a Jungle Laboratory" was the topic of the illustrated lecture delivered in assembly Friday, April 12, by Professor Harold D. Fish, of the University of Michigan. The jungle laboratory is located at Kartabo, British Guiana. In giving his audience an idea of the surrounding country Professor Fish mentioned the fact that a completely unexplored region exists approximately 2000 miles from New York City. He also emphasized the fact that the Amazon region was the pioneer country of the future and that our descendants would emigrate to South America as our forefathers emigrated to North America. Humorous Vein A humorous vein followed the serious subject matter of the lecture in which he showed appreciation for student life in his brief narrative of his own college career. The pictures accompanying the lecture were unusually interesting. Some of them were made at great expense, owing to the fact that the development of the color films must be done in water at a temperature below that possible in this tropical climate, and in order to do this ice had to be imported to the laboratory from the coast. o DR.

Wood, superintendent of Music in the schools of Oakland, California. Due to his contract with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, Karl Krueger, director of the Seattle Symphony was unable to assume his duties as conductor of this splendid orchestra, which met for the first time on Tuesday of last week and was presented in concert Thursday, April 11, a t the Armory in Spokane, after three days of practice together. Four students from Bellingham high schools were members of this orchestra They were Alys Braun and Arlene Neher violinists, Geneva Erholm, flutist, and Clinton Cramer trumpeter. o—— Instructors Attend Seattle Convention Dean James Bever, Mr. Arthur Kolstad, and Miss Olive Gunderson left last Tuesday to attend the seventeenth annual session of the American Association of College Registrars held in Seattle. President C. H. Fisher is attending the meetings on Thursday and Friday. These last two days are devoted to the reorganization of the first two years of college work. The speakers include some of the most noted specialists on junior colleges in the United States. The meetings are being held at the Olympic Hotel and the University of Washington. The special sessions include a boat trip on Lake Washington and several luncheons and banquets. The meeting will close today with the election of officers. o—'-—'• Ford Attends Dealers- lt; Meet in San Francisco "The Pacific and World Peace," was the keynote of the address delivered by Dr. Frank Milner, of New Zealand, in a special assembly last Tuesday. Dr Frank Milner took a prominent part in the proceedings of the educational meeting at Vancouver, B. C. Dr. Milner, in opening his address, stated that he brought "a message of fraternal greeting to fellow countries bordering on the Pacific." Dr. Milner was born and educated in New Zealand, one of the five dominions of Great Britain which was acquired by England in 1840, and now has a homogeneous population of English speaking people. Dr. Milner spoke concerning the bugaboo of a war on the Pacific. He stated that the situations of "yellow peril", immigration, population pressure and military preparations for territorial aggrandizement were the results of "journalistic imagination" and were not based on fact. Dr. Milner said that he was greatly inspired by his contacts with Dr. David Starr Jordan, one of the foremost educational workers in this country. Under his inspiration and the ideals advanced while in attendance at a convention at Hawaii he has successfully developed the junior high school system in New Zealand Would Abolish War Dr. Milner spoke on the awful-ness of war, its wanton waste of human life and destruction of property. He stated, "The modern weapons of war are a gross perversion of applied science." The next war is rendered an impossibility by the advance of science. In summing up his address he said that we must direct the education of the youth of today in such a manner that the thought of entering into war will be foreign to their nature. Dr. Milner was greatly applauded by an enthusiastic audience. He had an immense vocabulary at his command which easily displayed his broad knowledge of international affairs. His commanding personality and ready wit immediately won the attention of all. o ALL-GIRLS' DANCE Petitions for the Women's League spring informal were posted on the main bulletin board Wednesday and the first one hundred and ten girls signing will be permitted to attend. The list will be taken down today at four o'clock and all girls planning to go should sign up before that time. Catherine Morse, social chairman of the Women's League, has plans well under way for the "Dance of Dreams' which is the theme of the quarterly informal to be given May 3. "The decorations will be like a beautiful dream, billowy—depictive of growing things," said Miss Morse. Committees Appointed Chairmen of the various committees for the dance are: Katherine Friese, invitations and faculty programs; Katherine Korthauer, refreshments; Ouida Davidson, decorations; Katherine Rood, programs. President and Mrs. C. H. Fisher, Mr. and Mrs. V. H. Hoppe, Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Fowler, Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Ruckmick, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Marquis, Miss Kathleen Skalley, Miss Adele M. Jones, Miss Hilda Ro sene, and Mr. Arthur Kolstad are the patrons and patronesses of the dance. o BAUGHMAN CHANGES PLAN OF PHARMACY E TO BE HELD Two Individuals Will be Picked to Compete in Assembly April 26, with Winners of Former Contests.

And are you just aching to express that opinion? Here is the outlet for your wish of expression. There are items in every quarter when each student meets with topics that cause much comment within a group, and, after a satisfactory discussion, he feels that he has reached a definite and intelligent opinion concerning the subject of the controversy. When these conclusions are reached, you can find an outlet for your beliefs in the Viking. Worth while student opinions are always welcomed as material for publication. As Emerson said, "Speak your latent conviction and it shall be the universal sense." No matter how adversely critical your opinions may be, please remember, your views will be respected but, by all means, show that you have the courage of your convictions by signing your name to all contributions. After this issue anonymous and fictitious initialed communications will have no value and will be simply relegated to the waste basket. T O T H E L I T T L E S Y M P H O NY The Bellingham Little Symphony Orchestra, still less than a year old, but already developing the characteristics of real symphony orchestra, concluded its first orchestral season, last Tuesday. Mr. Harold B. Smith deserves an unlimited amount of praise, as well as those who made up the orchestra. We, of the Bellingham Normal, are especially proud of this organization as it affords a delightful means of displaying the enviable talent of the musicians picked from the student body, as well as that of the young people of the city. The concert which we heard last Tuesday, as well as the former recitals warranted much favorable criticism, and we hope that the Little Symphony will continue, and become a permanent institution of Bellingham. COLLEGE T R A I N I NG In an address to college students, President M. Lyle Spenser of the .University of Washington urged them to "get rid of the inexcusable conceit which characterizes many college students in their relations with those who may not have had those advantages", adding that many of our great men were not college graduates at all. We like' President Spencer's speech. It is so typical of the democratic West, and we believe we can truthfully boast that as we send our own graduates on to instituions of higher learning, there will not be one among them who will be guilty of such petty mannerisms. In spite of the fact that many great men were not college graduates, we intend, nevertheless, to attend school as long as it is possible to do so. We feel the "those great men" would have been great in any circumstances, perhaps if they had had the education they longed for, they would have been, if possible, greater—Who knows? In the current issue of the Sci-. entific Monthly there is an interesting article by Dr. Albert W. Herre, who for several years was professor of biology and hygiene at Bellingham Normal. The Sibutu Islands, the southernmost islands of the Philippine group, are the subject of Dr. Herre's article. He gives a very clear description of the life of the inhabitants, also of the geo-grapic conditions and biological life of the islands. Several good illustrations showing native life and customs give the article a live interest. Professor Herre left Bellingham Normal in 1920 to take a position as director of the department of fisheries of the Philippine Bureau of Science, which position he held until 1928, when he returned to the United States to become curator of the Zoological Museum at Stanford University. He has done a great deal during his stay hi the Philippines to increase the supply of available data on the isolated islands of the Philippine group and the Sulu Sea. The Sibutu Islands, discussed in this article, are a group of small islands whose peoples racially and geographically belong to - Borneo but politically to the Philippines. They are far from the lanes of travel and therefore unique and very interesting. Dr. Herre is now a member of an expedition which will spend two years in the South Seas collecting zoological data and specimens for the museum. At the present time the expedition is at Java. o THE LIBRARY LIGHT wwwwwwwwtnwwrfwwwwwfvwtf^^wflfwwi Student Opinion VMV^AVMF^^^i^^^J^FMVJVAr^MV^^^^JV^^^MV^^^ A M B I T I ON "Hitch your wagon to a star" Oft times we have been told; Even though to us it looks too far, The path might be pure gold. We may not see the journey's end-1— Mishaps will come to each, But just the job of hitching, friend, Is bound to make you reach! N A T I O N A L H U M A N E W E EK We are nearing the end of "Humane Week"—While most of us are naturally kind to unfortunates, whether human or animal, it is a good thing for everyone to be jogged up a bit now and then, and that is what this week, with its humane posters its humorous or pathetic antedotes and publicity, does for us. There is something unspeakably fine in the child or man who pauses in his hurry to comfort some helpless creature. The world still remembers the policeman who held up traffic while a mother cat moved her kittens across the street. And while this man or any of us would not do a deed just for the reward of having the world's approbation, nevertheless there is no doubt that, even as we do an act of mercy our own lives are gladdened accordingly. Sitting at night In the library room— Pondering over A book of gloom— / Wonder about The library light— How is it that ICs so darn bright! I envy it! I do not know:— And this is why I wonder so,— How is it that It is so bright— When it goes out On every night! J O H N FINNEGAN o Dorothy Sollie, president of the W. A. A., Mary Beth Parkhurst, and Miss Helen Dozier represented the Bellingham Normal last Thursday and Friday at the Western Sectional Conference of the Athletic Conference of American College Women, held in Seattle. Nearly sixty official delegates from thirty-two colleges met to discuss problems of interest in women's athletics. Thursday night the delegates were entertained at dinner at the Via Fontana dining room at the Wilsonian. The musical program was given by the University girls. Later in the evening the orchestra, dancing group presented a recital at a reception in the dance studio of the gym. Perfect Hostesses The U. of W. girls were perfect hostesses to all, meeting the delegates at the train and entertaining in every way possible. A luncheon on the Campfire Ship and a two hour motor rtip were given by the Women's "W" club They enjoyed a luncheon at the Inglewood Country club. Alpha Chi Omega housed the delegates serving them breakfast and luncheon. o - EL NIDO i Viola Scovel and Anne Kaller-son spent the week-end at their homes in Arlington and Lake Stevens. Esther Dow visited in Ferndale Sunday. Irene Sargent visited over the week-end with friends in Bellingham. Nanda Brooks and Mary Miller were guests of Erma Burgen and Florence Elliott at a bridge luncheon Sunday evening. Theoretically, we Americans are a hurry-scurry' lot—never have leisure and utilize every moment for productive work I wonder sometimes, as I sit in the library during a study period and note the time which students allot themselves for the journey from the library to the classroom. Promptly at 18 minutes to the hour the exodus begins. At 16 and 17 minutes to, the traffic is at its height and then dwindles. Only a few daring souls remain in the library till ten minutes of the hour (the time at which classes are dismissed). Now, three minutes will take a person from the library to the Art Department, and less time is required for most 'trips from library to class. Allowing three minutes as average time, and assuming the student leaves the library at 18 minutes to the hour, fifteen minutes have been wasted. Fifteen minutes will give a student time to study five pages, to read 10 pages, or to skim from 20 to 50 pages, depending upon the intensity of work required. But, however much time it takes a person to read 10 pages, fifteen minutes is a quarter of an hour, and the student who leaves the library at 18 minutes to the hour loses one-fourth of his study period. Strange to say, the same student that leaves the library at 18 minutes before class, rarely arrives in the classroom till he has spent the last possible moment in the main halls. It is a safe assumption that if we were allowed only three or five minutes between classes there ---------- Northwest Viking - 1929 April 19 - Page 3 ---------- ^§'91 ^!%S;; ^iv^ '.'•;^.!'^;V!j:5.'^!it VtkiJa:^W#0t':Kag:e TENNIS TOURNAMENT MATCHES ARE BEGUN Adverse .Weather Conditions Have Hindered Players but Games So Far Show Promise of Real Speed. With adverse weather conditions holding "reign", snow, ice, wind, or what have you, the tennis wielders have been!having the time of their lives trying to get into condition. • Few matches have been played, but decided changes have taken place in the ladder tournament. Art Cram, by .defeating Glen Fairbanks, went into the third position. The scores for the match were 3-6, 6-3, 6-1. Cram, after losing the first' set settled down and finally won the following sets to take the match. Prendergast' defeated Spring-steel in straight sets, 6-0, 6-1, and this wiri moved him into second place. "Jimmy" had little trouble and showed a good brand of tennis. Sid Thai moved up into fifth place by a decisive win over Glen Fairbanks; the scores were 6-0, 6-2. Both Thai and Fairbanks were "off color," missing many volleys and "kills" at the net. Sid has been slow in getting into form and his play although ragged is improving. A few days of concentrated playing and more sunshine is what the boys need very badly. Ladder for Week In the other match played this week, Church defeated Parker 6-2, 6-2, in a rather spirited contest. The ladder for this week is as follows: Ludwig, Prendergast, Cram, Springsteel, Thai, Command, Fairbanks, Leen, Cox, Keplinger, Legoe, Church, Parker, Hermsen, and Er-ickson. Challenges for this week will be played off as sdon as the weather permits. Parker has challenged Legoe Church vs. Keplinger, Cram vs. Ludwig, Erickson vs. the loser of the Parker-Legoe match, and Thai vs. loser of Cram-Ludwig match. W HAMS HACKS and HEEZES by CHARLIE HORSE S€N SAYS CARVE Coach in a Pessimistic Mood on Eve of Inter-Class Meet; Frosh Are Given Edge Over Veterans. Despite the enthusiasm track candidates showed in response to the announcement of the inter-class meet to be held Thursday and Friday of this week, Coach Carver was very pessimistic concerning the season's prospects. "Tell the Dear Public that I am ashamed to enter this year's team in their scheduled meets. They will be totally out of the running against such teams as the U. of W. Frosh." Mr. Carver went on further to say that no new material showed signs of developing and that this year's team would probably be made up of last year's veterans with very few additions from the new men on the squad. The coach's dark predictions were not held by the class captain, Howell, for the sophomore and Brink-man for the Frosh, as they have at least two candidates for each event on their respective teams. Captain Howell was especially optimistic when he learned that Axelson, member of last year's relay team, had run the veteran Hemmi a dead • heat in the hundred yard dash during a recent practice. The time given, ten and two-fifths seconds, is fairly fast. Frosh Slated to Win The- Freshmen depend upon winning in the longer runs and rolling up enough points in the field events to bring them out ahead. Brinkman is a fair bet in the two mile and will probably put up a good race in the half. Other candidates that may show up in scoring for the Frosh are Egan and Cole in the runs, and Gaither, Bay and Grave-rock in the field events. Besides the '"Iron Man" Axel-son, who is entered in six of the events, the Sophomores have Ham-ilotri and Howell in the sprints and runs, while Jewell, Johnston and Wanamaker are enterd in the weights; Clark, Oberlatz, and Chichester are others entered that may spring surprises. The events open Thursday at 4 p. m. The meet is extended over the two days in order that each man may compete in four instead of the usual two events. March weather still persisted at the opening of this Week. x One author has written "If Winter Comes.".. It is our opinion that this author never lived in Belling-ham, where the favorite expression is, "If Summer Comes". Normal Vikings thought that the winter was here to stay, and that we would never have a summer, when the game last Saturday had to be postponed on account of the wet grounds and the rain that deluged the field. Thus did Jupe Pluuius halt the first game of the Viking ball season. "Keep your eye on the ball", is a favorite saying of baseball men, but we challenge anyone to follow the flight of the old apple after Johnny Dixon smacks it on the kisser. The Vikings are going to make it hot for anyone opposing them on the mound, for there are plenty of them who can lay the willow to the horsehide in real Babe Ruth fashion Dixon, Clarke, Odell, Bailey, Thorsen, and others, make the ball fairly sizzle. It is going to he hard on the U. of W. chuckers when the Norsemen face them tomorrow in Seattle. Our sympathy is all for the poor fellow who has the nerve to face the Viking battering rams... They will need it. Varsity track candidates are working hard to get in shape for the first meet. Also others are doing their best to make a showing in the interclass meet that is being held this week. Spring tennis tournament is Well under Way. Several of last year's men are listed and are furnishing plenty of Work for the others that are new in school. A real battle looms as the rac-queteers loosen up their arms and swing into competition for varsity team positions. BIOGRAPHY Another of the Blue W winners is Johnny Dixon, who won his sweater in the winter quarter just passed. Johnny played center on the Viking basketball team, and made some stiff competition for the • opposing centers He is best known to his friends and team mates as "Flash". Though sometimes he is known as the "Killer", so called because of his way with the feminine group of the institution. Johnny is also thought of as about the best dancer in the "W" club. And that is a real recommendation. "Flash" proved his dancing ability to the club the evening when he was initiated into the organization of the Blue W. wearers. Receiving his early athletic training in Everett high school, "Flash" came to Normal last fall. He did not participate in football but conserved his energy for the hoop season. And now that the basket season is finished, John is out on the diamond making it warm for the contenders for the fielding positions on the Viking ball club. And, to judge from the way he is pounding the ball around the lot, he is in a good way to make a berth as a regular. FRESHMEN NINE WILL MEET VIKINGS FRIDAY Norsemen Will Try to Repeat the Record Established During Last Year by Wins over U. W. Frosh Enoch Bagshaw announced through his attorney, Ward Klumn, Tuesday that he would accept the offer made by the Students' Association on condition that he be allowed' to stay one more year and then resign or that all three of the sub-coaches under him also send their resignations and make a clean sweep of it, The Board rejected the first proposal and are considering the second but it is' distasteful to them in that it involves men that are in no way implicated In the quarrel and are satisfactorily serving the University. Next Saturday, April 27, the Normal Vikings will meet the University of Washington Freshmen on Waldo Field, in the first game that the Norsemen will play at home this season. Last year, it will be remembered that the Frosh were not up to the class of the Vikings and dropped two games to the Normalites. The first one, Eddie Wingard chucked the Bellingham team to a close victory. Then in the last contest of the season the Frosh dropped the other one to Granny Thorlakson in a hard and bitterly contested game. Out for Revenge Due to the double defeat at the hands of the Norsemen last season, the Husky Babes will be out to down the locals if it is at all possible. One may expect to see a good game whenever the Frosh present themselves, for t.heir coaches have plenty of material from which to select a team, and they can be counted on to put out a fast diamond aggregation. The Vikings will be in better shape for the game than they have been in the past couple of weeks, since they will be fresh from their tussle with the Washington varsity, and consequently better organized and more experienced. The fans are promised a rare treat in the form of a baseball game for next Saturday. The Vikings with eight experienced men on the squad are going to make Viking baseball history this season. Watch them go. Some ---------- Northwest Viking - 1929 April 19 - Page 4 ---------- ISc^Wl^MJ^r. WASHINGTON ftORMAL HP(fe^ \ anizations House Notes 10CAL MUSIC CLUB PRESENTS PROGRAM Bellingham Women's Music Club Chorus Give Annual Concert in Tuesday Morning's Assembly. SOPRANO IS SOLOIST Under the direction of Harrison Raymond, the Bellingham Women's Music Club Chorus presented its annual concert in the Normal School auditorium, April 16. They were assisted by Veona Socolofsky, dramatic soprano, Winifred Arthur Ells, violinist and Paul Lustermann, cellist. The program was begun by the singing of three lovely selections by the chorus, among which 'The Lonely Pine' by Hachmaninoff was per-ticularily well rendered. The others were "The Sweet O' the Year" by Salter and "Babylon" by Clokey. "Ocean, Du Ungehemer," "Shepherd, Thy Demeanor Vary," "Were You There?" and "May Magic" were the selections rendered pleasingly by Veona Soeolfsky, Miss Socolfsky has a rich voice and sings with fluency. The popular aria, "Ocean Du Ungeheuer" and the negro spiritual "Were You There?" received an ovation from the audience that showed their keen appreciation of music well renderd. The second part of the concert consisted of the singing of the "Slumber Songs" from the Madonna Cantata by May A. Strong, with words by Alfred Noyes. In these beautiful lullabies, the chorus displayed the results of the careful training of their director and the individual skill of each of the participants. The addition of the violin and cello helped to make this performance one of the outstanding features of the school year. GRANDISTMIE New Grand Theater Remodeled, Redecorated, and Re-opened with Remarkable Reproducing Device. Vancouver Educational Meeting Has Many Interesting Highlights The National Council of Education which met at Vancouver, B. C, last week was attended by eighteen members of the Normal faculty, although none were able to be present for the entire session. President C. H. Fisher was present at the meetings on the first-day but was unable to attend more because of the conflict with Inland Empire Education Association which met in Spokane last week. The Misses Mary E. Rich, Hilda Rosene, Leona Sundquist, Nora B. Cummins, Bertha Crawford, and Mr. Herbert C. Ruckmick attended over half of the meetings while several others attended one or more of the sessions. Besides representatives from all parts of Canada, England and the British dominions, Japan, France, Italy, Germany, and Czecho-Slo-vakia sent delegates to this fourth great Triennial Conference. The Science of Leisure The challenge to the conference was "the-Science of Leisure", and discussion centered upon the topic, "How shall we make use of our leisure time?" From this angle literature, art, music, play, health, movies and radio was ^discussed. The lecturers believed that the citizens should assume responsibility for the educational forces being exerted by these outside factors. Dr. Frank Milner said in the course of his lecture of his address on "Ideal Citizenship" that "the people of the United States had lost part of their heritage in that they had not kept court procedure free from political influence." Tagore, the Philosopher But perhaps the highlight of the whole council was in the address given Saturday evening by Dr. Ra-bindra Nath Tagore, Hindu poet and philosopher. In -his subject, "The Teaching of Religion", Tagore expressed hope for the reconciliation of science and religion. He is described as a wonderful speaker with a wonderful philosophy; a genial and kindly snowy-haired gentleman; and as expressed by one who heard him, his lecture was a benediction to the whole meeting. He is the author of numerous poems and essays and winner of the Nobel Prize of 1913. Former Instructor Visits Friends in City The new Grand Theater reopened Wednesday, after being entirely remodeled and redecorated where necessary. The biggest feliture of the Grand is the installation of the Radio Cor-portation of America, "Photophone The Photophone is a similar device to the Movietone and Vitaphone equipment, but differs markedly in the system of amplification. Six Dynamic Speakers The Photophone uses six dynamic reproducing loud speakers instead of two or three horn type amplifying loud speakers. The "Photophone" may be considerd the highest type of life-like "Talkie" yet available to the public. The effect is similar to that of perfect radio reception; a slight, almost imperceptible hiss is audible but without any cracking or static. The reproduction by means of the "Photophone" abolishes all traces of a mechanical effect which is noticeable in some loud speakers. It is as life-like, as vitalistic a reproduction as has been perfected. Preview Test As an illustration of this fact a test film was shown at a preview last Tuesday. Frequencies of one hundred cycles were reproduced faithfully, then frequencies of two hundred cycles .and so on until the limit of human audibility was reached. Another improvement is noticed in the lighting effect. It is possible to give over a dozen color effects to the stage setting and arch by means of a newly completed lighting circuit. New seats complete the theater's attractiveness.

Theater Comments by Bob "Mollie and Me", the gala opening production now being shown at the new Grand Theater starring Belle Bennett and Joe E. Brown is a show a bit different from the usual. - Instead of following the usual line of stories which are somewhat untrue to life, "Molly and Me" follows a'theme that might easily be found in any theatrical production city. Stage Troupers "Molly", Belle Bennett, and "Joe Wilson", Joe Brown, are stage troupers trying to get ahead—to Broadway, the goal of stage troupes. Finally after years of effort Joe gets a chance on Broad way, but Molly is not given the opportunity. Like many an unselfish girl, Molly gives up the troupers to go to the big city with Joe. Joe is given another partner and finally Molly in desperation goes back to her troupers and Joe, not realizing her sacrifices, carries on with his new partner and even fancies. However, before this goes too far she becomes engaged and the climax comes when Joe suddenly appears in the old act of the troupers with' Molly and Molly again sacrifices pride for —Love. Bennett Favorite Belle Bennett is an old favorite of the stage and has usually taken "Mother" parts in the movies; however, with the advent of the "talkie" she now comes into her own, especially in "Molly and Me". The theme song is "The Land of the Make Believe" and is well carried out instrumentally and vocally. Next week we hope to give you a complete theatrical review.
