LAURA LA PLANTE IS AT PALACE ON SUNDAY

They call her Laura-serious. beautiful, vivacious Laura-at Uni yersal City, California, where she stars.
 She is Laura La Plante, who co-stars with Edward Everett Horton in Poker Faces" the flea. ture which is coming to the Pal ace Theatre on Sunday.
 Miss La Plante proves a mys- tery to the people who watch her on the set They cannot under stand her. A girl of such con trasts is seldom met in normal life.
 Her roles always call for live ly sparkling acting. Screen act ing is always fatiguing and Miss La Plante believes in conserving her strength so that she will pho tograph as freshly at the close of the day as she did at the open ing.
 Consequently in her moments between scenes on the set she rests quietly in corner where no one will bother her. Motion less she reclines in repose. Peo- pie wonder if this is the same girl they saw on the set, so sparkling -so lively moment before.

----- GILBERT DELIGHTS HIS
 ADMIRERS AT PALACE

In "Bardelys the Magnificent" !" King Vidor's picture for Metro Goldwyn-Mayer, which opened at the Palace Theatre last night, John Gilbert has role that will be an everlasting delight to his constantly increasing number of admirers.
 If Rafael Sabat:ni, the author of "Bardelys the Magnificent" had personally chosen the hero for the picturization of his stirring romance. he could not have made happier selection.
 He swims raging rivers on horseback, engages in fierce en- counters with hordes of strenuous and determined enemies, pole vaults over a line of charging spearsmen and scales walls of dizzying height.
 Eleanor Boardman as the hero inc is thoroughly acceptable, look ing every bit the kind of a girl for such a heart-winner as Bar delys.
 Gilbert's acting is of the smooth, restrained sort that makes the spectators feel that they are witnessing the intimate develop ment of genuine romance.
 A brilliant supporting cast sur rounds the star, including Roy Darcy as the cruel and treacher- ous Chatellarault, the villain of the opsu; Karl Dane, comedy star of "The Big Parade" as the lu- dicrous Rodenard, Bardelys' at tendant, and Arthur Lubin, George K. Arthur, John T. Murray, Lionel Belmore and others.

The argument, so far as these six are concerned, rests with the figures because there isn't any other avail able or reliable yardstick by which to measure their comparative merits.
 Tech occupies the spotlight for a variety of reasons even though it hasn't a monopoly of the southern honors. Tennessee's talented young band finished it's second successive season with only tie to mar the victorious sweep Of the volunteers. Over three year stretch Tennessee has only one defeat on it's record in 2S games. Twenty-four triumphs two ties and one setback testify to the results obtained under the West Point system of Major Bob Neyland.
 Florida. even though upset by this Tennessee team in the final game at Knoxville last Saturday enjoys the distinction of scoring the highest total of points of any major team in the country. The Gators, drop ping their final game by single point after winning eight in a row, ran up 336 points.
 Tech has furnished most of the south's contributions to the all-star argument. the Tornado stalwarts monopolize all southern selections. taking four of the eleven places on the Associated Press consensus team. They also have appeared prominent ly in every All-America group sub mitted thus far. To show how diff ficult it has been for the experts to name any single man to stand above the rest. Frank Speer, Peter Pund and Warner Mizell all have been selected as first choice on one or more All-American arrays. No oth- CT team can show such contribu- tion.
 By winning the Southern Confer ence championship for the second straight year, Tech shares in anoth- CT distinction in year chiefly con- spicuous for it's upsets on the grid iron and the overthrow Of 1927 championship teams. Only Illinois in the Big Ten and Southern Cali fornia on the Pacific coast, among the others, managed to stay on top.
 Utah in the Rocky Mountain area. Texas in the southwest, and Nebras- ka in the new Big Six group all have known what 1t is to collect the vic- tors spells but they are back on top again this year after varying in- tervals of less successful campaign ing. In the east where no single team has an undisputed claim to sectional honors. Boston College at least boasts the best record of con- siStency.

PEACE EXPECTED
 AT LEAGUE MEET
Very Little to Be Done When National SolonS Gather

New York, Dec. 10 R1If there are any fireworks at the National leagues annual meeting. the experts will have lost the last measure of what self-confidence remains with them.
 They have taken 1t on the chin with monotonous regularity when they attempted to pick winners in actual sport competition. But most of them have predicted. and with some show of confidence, that all will be calm and peaceful when Ma tional league officials open their two- day session at the Waldorf-Astoria today.
 Offhand it appears that aside from the election of a president, the league has little to do that is other wise than rountine procedure. As . matter of fact the presidential cleo ton can be classed as routine bus mess. John A. Heydler, it is expect ed, will be reelected for long term of years and may get prema- ture Christmas present in the form of 8 raise in the $25,0oO salary he already receives.

The St. Louis Cardinals officially will be named the 1928 league cham pions. but 1t is somewhat doubtful whether any mention will be made of the late world series. which was the cause of considerable lamenta- tion on the part of National league followers. Plans also will be made for the joint meeting with the Amer ican league in Chicago next Thurs day.
 With this schedule. it would ap- pear that a few trades will have to come to the rescue of the baseball writers. At the minor league meet ing in Toronto last week 1t was in- dicated that the majors have com- pleted several outstanding deals that they preferred to keep unlar their collective hat until the time came for their own league meetings. These may come to light in the next two days, or perhaps not until Thursday at the joint Chicago meet ing. There is at least one trade, either made or in the making. by which the New York Giants would add a good righthanded pitcher to ! their somewhat shaky mound staff. Rumor has had 1t that John Mo Graw would not object to finding Pete Donohue or 'Dolf Luaue. or both. in 8 Giant uniform next sea- son. The Pittsburgh Pirates also are on the hunt for pitchers and may be persuaded to part with Glenn Wright, Q great shortstop no more l than two years ago. The Chicago Cubs. it is supposed, will make a grab for any third baseman that can hit
 It may be that all the National leagues sensations will be developed at a meeting of the Brooklyn club at Ebbets field today. Wilbert Rob- inson. president t-manager. has been the target for some very plain spoken criticism from Stephen Me- Keever and members of his sup porting stockholding faction. There l have been many rumors that Robin son was to be busted from one or both of his jobA although his salary of t25.O00 would be paid his con- tract expires. McKeever. however. has made 1t rather plain that he will wait until next year before going 1 after Rabinson's scalp. The Brook lyn club. he says. can't afford to pay Robinson his contract salary and give someone else big sum to do the work Robinson is paid for. Be- sides. Robinson is certain that he is not going to step down until his con- tract expires.

FOOTBALL TUMULT
 FINALLY SPILLED
Experts Nov Busy Picking Al-
 America Selections
By Allan J. Gould Associated Press Sports Editor

 New York. Dec. 10 R-Except for a few echoing post t-season shouts in the far west. the college football tumult for 1928 is stilled.
 The experts, as soon as they have finished lodging the All-America re- bounds, may turn their attention from now on. among other affairs of sport. to baseball palaver as we'll as such burning questions as whether Dempsey will stage a comeback. Nurmi turn pro or Tilden be re- instated. Of hand the answer to all three of these issues inclines to the affirmative. but for the moment they have nothing to do with summing up the gridiron grist.
 The south has had the last few words in the football debate. 50 far as the regular season is concerned, but also will have full share of interest in the main post season argument as we'll. Georgia Tech is going to Pasadena New Years day to play California and attempt to succeed where no outfit east of the Mississippi has won thus far this year against far western opposition.
 The Tornado of Tech figures to do better than any entry from this side of the country for it goes west with as fine record of achievement as any team has shown this season. There are only a half dozen major teams with unheaten records and Tech-a powerful array has a strong claim to the tcp of this list. Here's how this select half dozen finished:

Speaking p e of Sports

Although the fans at the basket ball game Saturday night were un- aware of it. the game between New Britain and the Elm City Five nearly finished after the first half. This was due to . demand made of Manager Clarence Lanphsr by the New Haven manager for the teams guarantee at the rest period accompanied by the threat that the team wouldn't so on the floor if it didn't get it.
 The demand was made in the dressing room and Manager Lam phers answer was prompt. He noti- fled the New Haven pilot that his team could dress up right away and go home for all he cared because the guarantee wouldn't be paid un- til after the game was completed.
 Not once has any team manager had to question the integrity of the local team manager. Never has any complaint come to our ears about his failure to be prompt in paying the guarantee due to the visiting teams. The Celtics. Brooklyn Visi- tations, Johnny Beckman's All Stars, Lou Gehrig's team and all the rest. big leaguers every one, have come to this city and have had no kick on the treatment accorded them.
New Britain herald., 1928-12-10

Then a combination like that of last Saturday night has the nerve to demand its guarantee after the first half has been played. If it was question of good faith, why didn't the New Haven manager hold good to his promise to bring the team here that he advertised?
