REEL PLOT
Federal Trade Commission
Gives Thrilling Stories in
115,0Oo-Word Document
By ROBERT s. THORNBURGH

BY ROBERT 8. THORNBURGH
Between the covers of $4,000
word document attacking the legality
of Adolph Zukor's gigantic Famous
Players-Lasky motion picture COM
bine, the Federal Trade Commission
has written a more fantastic story
than ever the movie producers dared
flash on the silver screen.
Reeking with deep laid plots and
commercial intrigues, marked by
the rise and fall Of Americas most
popular photodrama stars, and the
losing battle Of the little fellow"
against the ''big fellow" are the
far.reaching charges preferred by
the Government
It's a drama In itself, vivid with
imagination, amazing in enormity
and scope, compelling In power
this internal battle Of wits and
dollars which, according to the Gov
eminent, has swept through the
billion-dollar movie industry as one
-Zukor- attempted to dominate
the business from studio to theater,
from ownership of stars to plays
plots and authors.
Huge Capital Invested
The drama. in which 10000. 900
Americans play the audience part,
where 81, 500, zoo, 900 in capital Is
working, has its settings from Hol-
lywood to Long Island, Paris 70
the Sahara, from the bleak steppes
Of Russia to the romantic Isles OF
the South Seas.
The curtain dropped on one phase
Of the play when the Famous Play
ers -Lasky corporation appeared be-
fore the Federal Trade Commission
with an answer to the Governments
on November "a the final argu-
ments will be held, after which the
commission will proceed to q YER
dict.
Another curtain may rise shortly
thereafter with the Governmental
legged villain in the hands. o. the
law, with the Attorney General tax
ing steps to drive him into the Fed
eral courts.
or it may turn out, as the Zukor
interests Insist, that he Is no VILLAIN
az all-simply an Industrial and
dramatic giant making It possible
for the film fans Of the United
States to enjoy their daily dramas
Tar superior to those produced IN
any other nation.

BEADED LIZARD APPEARS
ON HOSIERY OF WOMEN

PARIS, Nov. 1S.-Embroidered
lizards creep slyly around the new
style black stockings which are
spelling doom for the flesh-colored
mode Of recent years. Some OF
the new stockings-so thin that
thew resemble a finely-knit spiders
web-have garlands OF flowers as
decorations.
Occasionally the lizard is formed
of green beads which glitter in the
suns rays. Many manneQuins are
parading hosiery which sport gaily
colored butterflies.

MAIN HIGHS LINEUP
REVAMPED FOR GAME

As the result Of their close de-
feat at the hands Of Corpus Christi
High School last Friday, Coach Tim
Griesenbeck's Main Avenue High
eleven has undergone a general shak-
ing up in preparation for it's game
at 3 30 Saturday afternoon against
Houston Central at Schwab Field.
The biggest shift has been in the
transfer Of Minor Gull, powerful line
man, to the fullback post. Guilt play
ed backfield against Corpus last week
and looked good enough to earn a
regular berth. Captain Surtees and
Bohne will run from the balfback po'
sitions, while Jack Davis has been
converted into a very efficient quar-
terback.
Willie Dunsmore and Hopkins will
hold down the wings, with White and
Herring at tackles, Brown and Cros-
by at guards and Tom Holleran cen
ter These changes have apparently
strengthened the team to some ex-
tent.
Houston Central is expected TO start
the same lineup which defeated
Breckenridge High at Houston last
Friday. Main Avenue has centered
its attention during the last weeks
practice in building an alright de
tense against the brilliant Captai2
kattmann, quarterback and triple
threat man Of the invaders.
The Houston squad Of % men ar
riyed early Saturday morning for the
game.

"He amt so Dumb


This familiar declaration, some
claim, originated way back yonder
with reference to no certain person,
but there are others who profess N
know exactly when and how it re-
ceived its inception.
They swear that an astonished fan
coined the remark while seeing the
Texas Silents, otherwise known as
the Austin Dummies" in action for
the first time on the gridiron. Tho
quarterback had just called" his sig
mails and the statement was in the
nature Of a sincere tribute, they say.
Whether this latter explanation is
correct or not, it is safe to say that
San Antonio's football fans will be
surprised at the efficiency Of the
Dummies" when they clash with the
st. Mary's College Rattlers at Sshwab
Field Saturday.
NO ARGUMENT.
They will see an eleven trot out ON
the field and go through four quar-.
tiers Of play without a sound emery
ing from their lips. They will wit
ness game absolutely free Of wrans-
ling, because you can't make one of
the Dummies" sore by talking to him.
They're a cOol-headed lot.
The Silents, coached by Roger Pow
ell, former A. and NJ. player and
graduate of Knute Rocknes school
for coaches, are not quite as strong
as last year, having lost several stars
through graduation, but word from
Austin states that the Rattlers will
be faced by a fast, tricky team which
will make them extend themselves TO
win. Their first game was lost TO the
strong San Marcos Baptist Academy,
u to 0.
The Dummies" under Coach Pow
ellis direction, have developed a sys-
TEN whereby the quarterback gives the
signals to his men through the sign
language. The field general gives
his signals on his fingers, while his
teammates on the line and in the
DdChllclu I'sL bH OHt hnte WIN lA'Ai
heads turned toward him. There is
no time wasted. About the time the
quarterback gives a last little flour
ish of his index finger, the "Dun-
mics" opponents find themselves
wiping the dirt out Of their eyes
and wondering how the trouble
started.
ROOFING HAS KICK"
One Of the greatest kicks" is de-
rived from watching the schools root
ers after they get well warmed up
to their work. Although they can
speak only one or two words, they
have taught themselves by practice to
get harmony into the strange sounds
that they make until it sounds like the
real thing.
Another thing about the rooters is
that they never stop. 1t is not neces-
sary for a yell leader to urge them
on, and il someone hadn't told them
the timekeeper had blown his whistle
they would be yelling yet.
Last year the Silents enjoyed the
best season Of their career. Out Of
