COLUMBIA" "A Society
Scandal"

"A Society Scandal" Gloria Swan
sons latest picture, swung into it's
second week at the Columbia yester-
day afternoon. attracting well filled
houses. Gloria is Seen as a misjudged
wife, her forte in several of her screen
successes. However. those who have
watched the work of this star since
her Mack Sennett days cannot deny
that she has gained steadily in acting
ability.
The picture is one of fashionable
life. 1t is war romance of a society
favorite whose hero husband in a very
short time turns out TO be more than
ordinarily stupid. For relief she turns
to male parasite. who in turn in
wolves her in scandal She is de-
Vorced from her husband after being
denounced by a clever lawyer whose
brilliant oratory turns a jury's verdict
against her. Her vow to be revenged
upon the young lawyer, which ends in
her capitulating to him, takes the star
through some highly dramatic scenes
that are handled very well. Rod
LaRocque plays the role of the lawyer
pleasingly. This young man labors
under the disadvantage of bearing a
physical resemblance to Valentino, but
with none of the latter's fire and mag

shown for the first time Yesterday
afternoon at CrandalTs METROPOLITAN

maurice, with settings actually filmed
in Rome and vicinity, the picture won
enthusiastic admiration from a ca

pressive are the scenes of thousands

masses of patriots in the principal

answer, because "revues" are fem

the facts compels the admission that
"I'll Say She Is" is not all feminine,

CHATTANOOGA, Oct. 4.-tSpe-

tennis TINT ever met on local field
fought a scoreless tie this afternoon on
Chamberlain field, when the University
of Chattanooga and Cumberland Uni
yersity football squads met. Long runs
by Tiny Knee in the first and second
auarters almost put the entire Chatta-
rooga team after him in the last two
periods, SO that wheE the great OPP
portunity came for his team to score
a touchdown, he was carefully watched
and unable to gain
Both teams showed an inyincible
array of forwards. Jim Scott, Chatta-
nooga guard, played with broken
nose, but shared the honors of the day
with Wallace and Milliken. Capt
Clements and Clancy were responsible
for the reserve power of the Cumbcr-
land line. 1t was this reserve strength
that threw Chattanooga backs for two
successive losses when the MOccasins
had the bali on Cumberlands six inch
line and two downs in which to make
the. touchdown.
Though no score was made, only
fumbles prevented them, for each team
gained ground almost at will, until the
ether team was forced to hold, or suffer
touchdown to be scored against them
Once, when Cumberland received. the
ball on her own AZ yard line and adj
vanced it by series of first downs
to the local thirteen-yard line, a
tumble by Knee lost the ball. Another
tumble by the big fullback ruined an
other chance for a score, while FUN
BILE by Capt. Williams for the Chatta
noogas when the local team was yart
from the goal lost the ball and good
opportunity.
Though the field was fast, few enc
runs or forward passes were successf il
the majority of the gains being mad,
through the line. WATSON, for Chatta
nooga, had the better of Knee in tn,
punting line. The ground gained wa
about even, Cumberland having tn
advantage of few yards, while tn
