AMERICAN Film
WINS EUROPE 5
FAVOR

Due probably to the rapidly in
creasing perfection Of American mo-
tion picture plays, the movies are
gaining steadily greater popularity
In Europe, according to Trade Com.
missioner George r. Canty. OF the
Commerce Department.
New Atheaters OF the American
type are being built with the most
improved equipment. and increased
seating capacity in many sections
OF Europe. During the past year
there were 7cc ilicaters either newly
built or reconstructed in Great
Britain and the continental cOun.
tries, having an aggregate seating
capacity of nearly 4OO, 900.
In the matter Of new construction,
according to CAVITY, Germany had a
long lead with ESQ theaters with i
seating capacity OF 10000. Great
Britain followed with 100 theaters,
capable of seating $1,000, while
France built SO theaters with q
total seating capacity OF $4,000.
Better Features
These countries are all producing
more and better feature films than
ever before. At the same time
many Of the smaller countries are
exerting every effort to establish
native motion picture industry.
Canty estimated that In 1927 the
feature pictures produced in Europe
numbered 100, involving an expen.
dftiIrc Of about SIC. 900, 900.
Most OF these pictures came from
German, British and French stu
dos. Germany produced PAL, and
France "A and Great Britain ~

were produced. Austria is, Czechn.

obtained BY American exporters Of
motion picture films.
Last year we sent to this area
about 10000 900 feet OF film which
was an. increase OF 1000, 900 over
1925. American features distributed
In Great Britain numbered 1913,
an Increase OF 100 over the pre-.
#cedinK year.
Buying Declines
"At the same time, however, our
relative share OF the British buying
declined slightly. Germany took
1872 American films In 1927, drop
Of 81 from the year before. willis

Fessenden Must Whip
Raw Material Into
Shape For Hardest
Schedule in Years


Facing an outlook worse in many
respects than those OF previous
years, Douglas "Curley" Fessenden,
high school football mentor. has set
about whipping his material into
shape TO face one Of the toughest
schedules to be booked for a
Brownsville high school aggregation
in the history Of the institution.
The fact that only eight lettermen
have returned for the coming season.,
Fessenden must face the ordeal of
building up a formidable eleven out
Of practically green material.
This Is not the first tough job that
the coach has had TO face in the
few years that he has been guiding
the destinies Of the Ieather-cleated
gentry.
Starting Easy
just last year at Main Avenue Sc
Nor high school in San Antonio he
had practically the same conditions
TO face but succeeded, after many
ups and downs, in whipping into
shape q machine that was capable
Of taking the number OF the Breck-
enridge Hi Eagles in the Turkey Day
clash which has become q cinsss-
to San Antonio followers Of the
game.
Uniforms have been issued 10 go
players and the Brownsville Hi
squad was put through its first real
workouts during the past week.
F~essenden allowed his men 10 take
i rather easy during the first few
days Of loosening up, but he has
mapped a schedule OF workouts that
viii grow In intensity during the
coming three weeks in preparation

The eight lettermen who have r.
ported for duty are headed by two

These men are Bob O,Brvan. team

Failures Rough Hands

although have perhaps achieved more than
the average person at my age, still what have

that life is not worth living"
After writing note containing these words Henry
Druckliev, midde-aged New York real estate broker

head.
1t is tragic to reach middle age and find that ones

to make many people besides this real estate broker

never quite do the things we want to do.
This inevitable disparity between the desires of the
spirit and the capabilities of the flesh is at once

handspring Of all human progress
Never young man began life without high hopes
boy in his teens looks ahead to certain triumphs
He will be better man than his father; the STUN
bling blocks that trip others will not trip him. He
feels his own expanding powers and is sure that they
will carry him through to any goal he seeks.
In the fullness of time the boy becomes man

Criticism of Mobile

Savage as the Russians may be
in the criticism of General Mobiles
conduct and of the still improved
desertion of Malmgren, they have
earned the right to make it. Men
who have riSked their lives to save
others for no reason in the world
except love of humanity, can afford
to talk.
When the Russians declare that
the time has come for Mobile to
speak they are within the bounds
of propriety.
The Russians have gambled with
death to rescue mer whom they
owed nothing except what the laws
of common decency demand.
Those same laws apply to Gen
eral Mobile. If he had a right to
leave before the last man was saved
the Russians had a right to remain
at home, and so, too did Roald
Amundsen.
We are not dealing with silly sem
timent here, but with a conception
of conduct which forms the bedrock
of civilized life, which spells the
difference not only between man
and other animals, but between man
and his primitive ancestors.
All that we are, all that we have
and all that we hope for rests on
the idea that strength must bear
the heaviest burden, wealth pay the
highest tax, and leadership assume
the greatest risk. Scrap that idea
and there is nothing left but the
caVeman's code
