THEATERS

The best way to describe First
National new feature picture,
"The Poor Nut which opens to-
night at the Airdome theater with
Jack Mulhall in the title role, is to
cay that it will be enjoyed by ev-
eryone, from mother and father to
the last kiddie.
"The Poor Nut is the screen
version of the stage play of the
same title which ran for year i'll
New York. 1t is clean, extreme
ly funny story of college life, built
around young man who suffers
from an 'inferiority complex
which is finally removed through
the work of pretty coed and his
own victory as runner on the elm
der track.
A real track meet, the big annual
affair of the University of Arizona,
is shown in the picture and is one
of the outstanding features of the
film. Real athletes in real compe-
tition instead of the usual - fran
edo motion picture affairs takes
this sequence out of the usual run
1.-THE Poor Nut was directed by
Richard Wallace. In the cast, in
addition to Mulhall, are Charles
Murray. Jane Winton, Jean Arthur,
Cornelius Kecfe and many other
prominent screen players.

COOLIDGE MEANT 1T

Reading the national editorial comment on
the decision Of President Coolidge not to be candi
date for reelection in 1928 one is struck by the large
number of papers, many of them pledged to the Re
publican party that question the sincerity of the
Coolidge remuneration.
These doubters of the motives behind the terse
note, only political designed to feel out"
the opposition within the Republican ranks and
throughout the country at large based antpathy to
third term
1t is difficult 70 believe that man who has filled
the high office of president with the dignity that has
characterized Mr.. Coolidge throughout his term
would lower that dignity by giving out false state
ment to the public. We prefer to believe that Mr.
Coolidge wished i understood that he will not be
candidate in 1928 and not that he does not wish to be-
as some have interpreted his statement.
When he issued his famous twelve Words he
knew they would he interpreted as a remuneration of
his candidacy. The fact that he used the word
choose" might be misleading, but usage in
New England has given the word decisive
meaning than has in other parts of the country.
The President is shrewd politician and as such
he must know that to give the nation statement that
he is not to be a candidate and then allow his to
be used firStcass way be defeated at the polls.
1t smacks little too much of double dealing, some
thing that Americans do not like and something that
is foreign to the Coolidge makeup.
