A Boost for -Gagnon


Dear Sir Being constant reader Of your column
and noting the discussions of the of this football
season, would like to call to your attention the name
of "Chic' Gagnon, left halfback of the Holy Cross
eleven
In every game Gagnon has taken part in this year
he has stood out the individual star In the Harvard
game which was won by the Crimson, 3d. Gagnon was
admitted by practically every newspaper critic present
to be the best back the field. AS prominent writer
put 1t, there was only Chic the field In the
Dartmouth game he showed the same football despite
the fact that both Gagnon and the team had played
the fast Springfield College team three DAYS before
the Dartmouth game In the Syracuse game which he
won Gagnon head and shoulders over any back on
the field.
This is not Gagnon's first year as a star as last
year he was also the star of team tn, preceding
year he defeated Harvard, 60, Wilde playing for
Brown, by kicking two field goals.
And IT there is any question to whether he is a
star or not, | would advise you to look him over on
the afternoon of December 4, when Gagnon and the
rest of the Holy Cross team add Boston College to the
list OF defeated colleges. Yours truly W j. M
AS football coaches and go, Dr. John Wilce

Taylor Holmes Acts Well
In "Nothing but the Truth"

Taylor Holmes does some effective
acting in Nothing But the Truth y the
feature film at the Broadway Thea ~
this week Using the material with
which Willie Collier made his
audiences laugh in the play by the
same name, the film version provides
MIR. Holmes with excellent opportuni-
ties to show his ability as a character
actor. One weakness Of the picture is
tnat TOO much Of the story must be told
by the suo-titles
The theme Of the film. as is indicated
by the title, is simplicity itself. Robert
Bennett, played by Taylor Holmes,
makes bet of $4,000 each with three
trends that he can tell the truth for
one week and he proceeds TO carry out
the terms OF the wager. After a day
OF telling, the three skeptics who
DO not believe that it is possible to tell
tAe truth. have been so embarrassed
by Benefits revelations about them
at house party. that they are more
tran ANXIOUS TO call off the bet. They
resort to attempts of kidnapping; they
1rlsk the modern George Washingt)n
away to an insane asylum but in
spite of al their efforts he adheres
strictly to the truth and wins the bet
Luckily, as soon as the time limit is
up he straightens out the tangle in
which two OF his friends have become
involved with their wives because Of
his truth-telling
Nothing But the Truth" makes an
amusing screen comedy, but is not
as effective as it was on the stage be-
cause the vocalization is lost, neces-
stating the excessive dependence on
captions to keep the story running.

Letz Quartet Gives
Concert at the Ritz

The Letz Quartet. consisting of Hans

Gerald Mas, violoncello, assisted by
Harold Bauer, piano, and Louis Bailly,
viola, appeared t the concert given by
the Society of the Friends of Music
at the Hotel Ritz yesterday afternoon.
Two movements of an unfinished
quartet, dedicated by Mr. Harmati to
The first, "Allegro Msteroso.' was
more interesting than the "Adagio
Maestoso.' 1t was Immediately evident
that the composer had succeeded in
evoklng mood of mystery but whether
ne wished to suggest the mystery of
life. death or love, his music did not
clearly reveal.
A waltz strain. lyric passages and
pages which served to maintain the
enigmatical character of the movement
were set in pages which served TO main
tain he communal conflict by very mod
ern meth DDS. The second movement was
in its entirety.
Daniel Gregory Mason's Intermezzo
or String Quartet, op. II. Rubin Gold
marks Piano Quartet in A major, and
Ernest Bloch's Suite for Viola and
Piano were the other works on the
program. Mr.. B'och's Suite has been
played here before this winter by Mr..
Bauer and Mr.. Bailly. His music has
been overpraised and underrated. bu,
whether one admires it or not there
can be no doubt of its Importance as
an eloquent expression of new mu-
sical idiom
The opportunity Of listening to Mr..
Bauer is cause for rejoicing upon
any occasion. He did not disappoint
his hearers yesterday. In Bloch's
Suite he was admirably seconded bv

played in its usual reliable manner. but

INTERESTING TELEPHONE
SITUATION ON LOCAL LINES

An interesting telephone situation
has arisen in the vicinity of Hudson,
Certain subscribers of the Pierce
County Telephone Co. living near
Hudson have made an appeal to the
Railroad Commission to permit them
to get service from the Wisconsin
Telephone Company's Hudson ex-
change. There are % signers to the
petition. These complain that though
living near Hudson they have to be
connected with people in that city
through the River Falls exchange and
are required to pay toll to do so.
They contend that their business con-
nections are all with Hudson, and
that it would be much more to their
advantage to be connected with the
Wisconsin Telephone Co.
1t is alleged in the petition that
the Wisconsin Telephone Co. is will
ing to purchase from the Pierce
County Telephone Co. the lines with
which the petitioners are connected.
| Under the law, the territory having
been supplied with service first by
the Pierce County company, the Wis
consin Telephone Co. may not in
wade it unless the Railroad Commits
sion should grant it permit after
finding that convenience and necessi-
ty require the extension of its lines
into the territory.
The signers of the petition are
Geo. B. Kinney, M. S. Knott, John
Bulfus, John Lundy, T. S. Baker, w.

Back To
Gods Country
River Falls Firemen Secure Fam
Gus Film for Feb. II at the Princess
Theatre.
A WONDERFUL PICTURE
Gripping Story of the Far North,
Featuring Great Scenes of Wild An
imal Life.

The River Falls Volunteer Fire
Department has selected that Won
derful and thrilling film story of the
Far North, Back to Gods Country,
by James Oliver Curwood, for ben
eft show to be put on at the Prin-
cess Theatre here Feb. II, 1920.
Never film like this was ever
shown in this territory before. Be
sides the strong plot in its wonder
full scenic settings, there is the inter-
esting and instructive portrayal of
wild animal life, so finely woven in
to the story that the audience is
held spell-bound from start to finish.
The animals appear, not as pas
sive side issue, but take an active
part in the development of the play,
showing in some cases the fiercest
savagry of their natures.
Nell Shipman is the star, playing
the strenuous part of Dolores lie
Beau" who living with her father
in the wilds of Canada, was brought
up with bears, mountain lions and
wild cats, etc., as her pets.
The full intensity of the play can
not be described. 1t must be seen to
be appreciated.
The films will be shown at mat
inee in the afternoon and at the US
ual evening hours on Feb. IL, at the
Princess Theatre. For the matinee
the admission price will be SOC for
adults and 25c for children. The eve
ming shows will be so cents for all.

TEACHERS SALARIES

It is beginning to look like the pub
lie school teacher is coming into her
own. Practically every school in the
state has felt the necessity for adj
vancing salaries during the year in
order to keep corps of teachers. Pc
sitions that three years ago were pay
ing fifty-five to seventy dollars are
now paying twice that amount.
The Normal school has had an I'M
precedented call for teachers at this
season of the year. Every member
of the mid-year class has been placed,
and five times that number could have
secured splendid positions. Some IN
experienced girls are getting as large
salaries as some members of the Nor
NAL school faculty. The lowest sala-
ry accepted for any grade position
was 500. The lowest salary accept
ed for high school position was S12O
The highest salary paid to the mem
bers of last years class was $50 for
grades and 500 for high school. (This
statement applies to the young women
graduates only.) The situation is
really critical. The wise Board of Ed
ucation will act early in the matter OF
selecting teachers.
City boards will pay from $500 to
$3.50 for grade teachers. Experience
ed teachers will get from S125 to
sl75. Superior is now paying $1,000
per wear for grade teachers. Milwau-
kee pays $1,000 and other cities are
falling into line.
