THEATRES
Majestic Theatre

1t is a not uncommon complaint
that there is much too little meat"
in the run of p~hotoplays which are
offered. Those who hold this con-
viction will be particularly interest
cd in "a Woman of No Importance"
which has been secured as the spe-
cia! attraction at the Majestic The
atre for three days, beginning today.
The picture is the faithful screen
version of the famous Oscar Wilde
play by the same name which has
been an outstanding stage classic
for q good many years.
Oscar Wilde, famous English
playwright who wrote fearlessly of
modern society conditions, is one of
the most interesting figures in lit
erary history. A number of things
about the man himself, for a time,
interfered with an unbiased judg-
n,ent OF the work he did with the
result that, just now, the plays of
Wilde are very much in the ascend
eucy in popular favor. Scarcely a
theatrical season on Broadway
passes that some particular elabo-
rate presentation of an Oscar Wilde
play is not attempted; an outstand-
ing event of the eason of 1922 is a
production of Wilde's play based
upon the biblical story of "Salome,"
Lady Windemere's Fan and 1.-The
Importance of Being Earnest" are
other Wilde plays which are part.c-
ularly well known to theatregoers
throughout the country.

Meet HilISddle
Here on SATURDAY.

Not scored on since the opening
fray of the season with the Michigan
Aggies, which found Alma in poor
shape for hard go, the Maroon and
Cream aggregation of footballers will
attempt to keep up its brilliant record
against teams Of its own class this
week end when the eleven clashes
with the Hillsdale outfit on Davis
field.
Hillsdale will come to Alma with
the strongest lineup that the Blue
and White has shown in years and ii
will not be an easy matter to stop
Coach Ost's crack team, which has
played brilliant game since the
opening Of the football year
Expectations are that the Alma
College eleven will be far stronger
for the game this week than it was
for the Olivet game last Saturday
and hopes are high that Alma can
keep her goal line clean. The strength
of the Hilsdale eleven is so well
known here, however, that Coach
Campbell and his huskies are not
looking for an easy time, but rather
are anticipating that the team will
be pushed to the limit if it is to pull
out the victory that it needs to keep
up the pace in the M. |. A. A. race.

Game Should Cure
The COck-Sureness

Coach Carlson's scrappy and hard
fighting Alma High eleven will meet
the Ithaca High aggregation at
Ithaca on Friday afternoon, and
while having wholesome respect
for the ability of the County Seaters,
is determined to add their scalp to
Alma's rapidly increasing list Of
victims.
Ithaca has won victories over some
Of the same elevens that Alma has
taken into camp, notably Midland
and ST. Johns High School teams,
and is not weak by any means. The
Ithaca teams usually have a habit Of
putting up a real fight against the
aggregations from Alma and it is
not certainty that the Orange and
Black warriors will find the going
at all easy.
Indications are that Carlson's
team will be in the best shape for a
game this week that the men have
been in all season, or at least should
be. Some of the men have been suf-
fering slightly from an over large at
tack of we-are-it-itis and have been
somewhat loath to turn out for prac-
tice every night as is needful in
the development of real teams, but
it is expected that Ithaca will hand
them scare enough in large doses to
cure this troublesome malady, and
keep the men on the jump the bal
ance of the season.
