well West Point authorities are
thinking OF buying the film to use
instead OF classroom courses In cav
airy instruction.
The plot of the story Is very IN
teresting. The picture contains many
dramatic sequences and several hu-
morous scenes to relieve the tense
ness.
The companion feature for this
program is Marshall Neilan's latest
story. "Everybody's Acting" which
is true tale of life behind the
wings. The picture contains cast
that is supreme. Each name is a
headliner. Betty Bronson, Ford Ster-
ling, Louise Dresser, Lawrence Gray,
Henry Walthall. and Raymond
Hitchcock.
The versatile author director I'M
derstands the value Of picturesque
background and he has shrewdly
placed his story in the glamorous
environment of the theater. Much
of the pictures charm is due to its
fascinating setting.
There will be two shows Sunday,
the second starting at $3.50.

NEWING1ON NEWS

Joseph Angelello was fined IS and
costs before Justice E. Stanley
Welles in town court last night.
Angelello had refused to send his
children to school, was reported by
Supervisor William H. Mandrey, and
arrested by Constable John f.
Walsh.
Angelello had not been sending
his children to school because he
claimed there was no proper way
to send them. A school bus goes as
far as the corner of the turnpike
and East Robbins avenue, making
it necessary for Angelello's children
to walk from their home near the
0. I. C. Garage to meet the bus.
Supervisor Mandrey claimed it was
unreasonable to have to send the
bus down the turnpike for one or
two children since the distance was
very short. Angelello took the mat
ter Up with the state board of edu-
cation.
The fact that Justice Welles' de-
cision was favorable to the local
school board clears up matters in
regard to transportation to and
from school. Not long ago a sim
liar matter was brought before the
state board Of education after the
local board refused to act. The de-
cision was unfavorable and since
that time the hands of the school
committee in this connection have
been tied.

Thirty-five years ago there
lived in Chapel Hill a certain
young woman whose beauty and
winning ways made her ex-
tremely popular with the stu
dents. She was what they call
"a reigning BELLE" When l hap
pened to meet her, in the North,
she was in her forties.
Il spent the happiest years
of my life in Chapel Hill." she
said. Il left when l was nine
),een and l never expect to see
the place again. The honey
suckle, the wistaria, the trees
meeting over the street, the
shaded porches, the. moonlight
nights, the walks in Battles
Park and-the dances at the Uni
versity-all this is a beautiful
memory. 1t was my youth, and

by going back to find my old
home torn down, to see strange
houses and strange faces and

Of course Chapel Hill is not
peculiar in being the object of
such reflections. This is an old
story-the same feeling has been
expressed about thousand 9TH
er villages. AS the poet put it,

scenes of my childhood" For

The Fishers Come
Pensacola Alumnus, with His Son
Revisits Campus and Village

William Fisher of Pensacola,
Florida, and his eighteen-year-
old son, William Fisher, Jr.,
drove into Chapel Hill Monday
afternoon. They left Tuesday
to rejoin Mrs. Fisher and the
two girls at the family's sum-
mer home at Montreal.
Mr.. Fisher Yho was distin-
guished here as a varsity foot
ball player, graduated from the
University in 1904. After study
ing law in Columbia University
he settled in his home city of
Pensacola and has lived there
ever since. For the last twelve
years he has been prosecuting
attorney of Escambia county.
Until this week he had not
been in Chapel Hill for seventeen
years, and he spent several
hours exploring the campus and
the village. In the evening he
dropped in at the Venables', and
paid a call at the Beta Theta
Pi house.
He said he had been looking
forward for years to sending his
son here to college, but at last,
because William, Jr., was destin-
ed to live in Florida, he had de-
cided he had better put him in
the University of Florida. The
boy plans to study law, after he
has completed his academic
work, and then to enter prac-
tice>with his father in Pensa-
cola.

Lindsay's Car Stolen
Chapel Hill Financier Loses Hudson
That Cost $4,000

c. l.. Lindsay's car, which
cost him $4,000 about a year
ago, was stolen Monday. He
parked it on Corcoran street by
the First National Bank, in Dur
ham, and went to the Washing
ton Duke Hotel to join his wife
and daughter. When he came
back to get the car two or three
hours later it was gone.
He notified the police, and the
usual alarm was sent out.
II thought locked the steer
ing wheel, but | can't swear to
it," said Mr.. Lindsay when he
was telling a Chapel Hill friend
of his loss.
For the last week or so the
Lindsays have been living in the
Washington Duke, having had
to give up the Moody Durham
home here when the owner re-
turned from the West. Having
been accustomed to leaving his
car unlocked here in Chapel Hill,
probably the financier found it
difficult to change his habit
when he moved to the city.
This was the same car which,
with the whole Lindsay family
aboard, overturned on the Chapel
Hill-Durham highway a few
months ago. On that occasion
Mr.. Lindsay was going too fast
around a curve. When he put
on the brakes the car left the
pavement and went into the
ditch.

Changes in the Village

A University student of the
early 90's came back to Chapel
Hill last fall. He looked at the
South building, where he had
once lived, and found it's front
wall covered with vines. This
made him shake his head sadly.
Il don't like it," he said. It's
not the South building l used to
know"
A few months later / was talk
ing to another alumnus, of about
the 1905 period. He, too, had
been looking at the South build
ing. He saw it after the recon
struction had begun, and the
vines had had to be torn away,
temporarily. He, likewise, was
overcome by gloom. 'It doesn't
look the same," he said. ut
looks bare without the ivy"
After the first of these men
had left the University, and be-
fore the first came, the vines
had been planted and had clam
bered up the face of the South
To the one the foliage didn't fiji
in the picture at all. To the
other-who no doubt thought il
had been there for a hundred
years-it was an essential part
of the University tradition.
This led me to reflect upor
the reaction of old-timers to the
changes in the village.
The Chapel lillian of a past
generation, who comes back af.
ter a long absence, is disappoint,
ed not to see. the place just as
he left it. His memory clings
affectionately to the scene of hi:
youth, and any alteration in the
scene is that much lost charm.

Five members of the Chapel

gion went to the state conven-

Charles Martindale, Paul Rob-
ertson, Willie Hogan, Lonnie
Hogan, and J. O. Harmon.
The village has it on the best
authority that Chaplain Crib

the Legion men did not apply to
the Chapel Hill delegates, whose
behavior is reported as exem-
plary. In short, our representa-

Mrs. R.. S. MacRae was the

men resolved to have nothing tt

a vacant lot, which the mayor
put at their disposal, only two
blocks from headquarters.
