 Most pictures end up with a mar riage, or with gesture that would indicate impending marriage, but Loves Blindness" opens up with one. Pauline Starke as Vanessa Levy. the London money-lender's daughter. and Antonio Moreno. as Hubert Culverdale, the Eighth Earl of St. Austel, who enters the match to save himself from bankruptcy. are the principals. and the elaborate wedding scene might easily be con- sidered one of the features of the film.

It is a great comedy and will be thoroughly en- ioyed by all. The Capitol orchestra have a new program of music for the pictures.

SMILES AND TEARS
 IN QUEENS TALK
Marie Emphasizes Love Of
 Rumania at Chicago

Chicago, Nov. r R,-Queen Ma rie came to this country ito put Rumania on the map"
 The granddaughter of Queen Vic- toria made that frank confession here in speech that started with smile and ended with a tear when she added, "and remember, those of you who belittle Rumania, that you are treading on the heart of queen"
 There not only were tears in the queens eyes when she had finished her story of her love for her adopt ed country to which she had given 'six children. who speak Rumanian and are Rumanians," but also in the eyes of many who heard her on the eve of her departure from the sprawling city by the inland sea.
 After a four day visit in the city which had been described to her by her son. Prince Carol, as the most beautiful in America, the queen and her entourage prepared today to continue their journey eastward, with Indianapolis the next stop. In any picture she carries away the weather will play prominent part. | Leaden skies, almost continuous rain. with a touch of snow and cold weather have marked the royal visit, but have failed to quench the | queens ready smile, except for that moment of tears when she spoke in the drawing room of the Union League club yesterday.
 Tt Is true that I have come to
 America to put Rumania on the
 map" she said in one of the most
 candid addresses ever uttered by
 royalty. T am here and every where to defend my country, which
 is Rumania. In 1t my life. my
 work. my love, my children, my
 family, my all-the very essence of
 my existence. Remember, when
 you belittle Rumania, you are treading on the heart of a queen."
 Recalling her attendance at the Versailles peace conference, she con- tinued:
 "When I went there-and shock ed the world, perhaps-they asked me why I had come. And I told
 them this; Every country needs g
 face. So when you gather for your deliberations, I want Rumania tc have a face. I am to be that face.' And I have come to America fol
 the same reason. I hope you like my face here"
 She then sketched bit of Ru-
 manian history.

In spite Of the fact that lectures must
be prepared and student papers cor.

be gainsaid that teaching offers more
leisure than ordinary business jobs.
Sometimes the leisure is sought for
the opportunity to cultivate hobby
or to accomplish a piece Of work which
will not pay it's own way. Moreover,
the teacher gets a longer vacation
than the man in business and the pro-
fessions (again excepting preaching).

The British coal strike, which has

favored last year by the indirect bene-
fits of the strike In the domestic an

year by the cessation of work in the
British mines.
Incidentally. all the anthracite coal
carriers in the United States are ia.
vored by much better earning pros.

V hat 1 will be like. Am l real? Am

So turn to these faces, these indi-

Well, then / single out one face
