SEES MINCED MOVIES ALL DAYS

The 35 to 40 reels Q projection ist handles daily are not, oi course. all complete pictures. Each scene of q new picture is viewed as soon as it can be developed and printed. so film flows into the projection room in odd ngths-sometimes a whole pic lures, sometimes reel or half a reel, and sometimes scenes or parts of scenes 250 feet, 100 feet or even as little as 10 or 15 1eet long.

 By the time he puts on his hat at the end of a day his head is buzzing with a. hundred odds and ends of situations and close-ups.

"RICH BUT HONEST" IS
 AT COLISEUM TONIGHT

Rich But Honest" Fox Films version of the clever short story by Arthur Somers Roche, which comes to the Coliseum tonight only, is very well worth seeing according to all advance reports It is the story of very mod ern girl who, leaving her job in a big department store for the chorus, finds herself forced to choose between her old "sweetie' and a new and extremely rich ad mirer. The way in which she makes her choice and the man she chooses in the end brings the story to an interesting and un usual ending.
 Nancy Nash, one of the most promising of the newer actresses plays the part of the girl. Charles Morton and Clifford Holland. botl of them new additions to motion pictures, have the featured male roles.
 This feature is given in con junction with the lecture by Fath CT Hubbard. mention of which is made elsewhere in today's Elm pire.

SECOND HUBBARD 
Scenic Wonders of Coun- try Around Juneau
 to Be Subject

An enthusiastic crowd heard the extremely interesting lecture by the Rev. B. k. Hubbard on Noun tain Climbing in the Alps" 6t the Coliseum Theatre last night and it is expected that an even larger number of people will be present at the same theatre to. night when he talks on "Tho Scenic Wonders Near Juneau. The lecture tonight, will be il. lustrated, as was that last night with beautifully colored slides made from pictures which Father Hubbard has taken.
 Those who attend the lecture tonight will be rewarded by see ing pictures of the beautiful In side passage. Glacier Highway and other familiar scenes around Juneau. Mendenhall and Taku Glaciers and many pictures of the vast ice fields between Men lenhall and Taku taken by Fath- Y Hubbard last summer when le was in Alaska.
 The lecture will begin with a Alaska from the view point of one who made it for the first ime, bits about experiences in Juneau, the trip to Mendenhall md the interglacial forest, to he White Spot" in the interior behind Mt Juneau and will end yJsh a description of the arduous md difficult trip made by Father Hubbard, Henry Figg and Jack Hoby and the latter's three dogs ,ver the ice fields from Menden- hall to Taku.
 Father Hubbard, last night, proved himself a master photo yrapher and story teller..as well IS explorer, mountain climber md geologist. The audience list ened with attention as he told of the dangers attending the climbing of mountains and tray ersing glaciers. Many of the peaks shown looked inaccessible except for the fact that Father Hubbard's party was shown in climbing them. The silence of
 he audience was interspersed with chuckles and laughter, az ne told stories, amusing and Iuainf of the people living in 'nnsbqook and the Alpine country surrounding that city.
 In many of the slides last night one saw quiet pastoral scenes. green meadows, browsing cattle, picturesque villages and murmuring brooks, all nestled at he very foot of awesome cliffs 5urmounted by the ruins of old medieval castles and in the background the, majesty of Al pine peaks and glaciers.
 Others showed the hostices perohed among the crags which Ire maintained to give shelter Q ambitious mountain climbers 30 that they need not spend nights in the open, still others were beautifully tinted scenes of the snow covered ice among the very summits of the Alps.
 That the lecture was a pro nounced success was evidenced by the enthusiastic applause which it received.

VIRGINIA NOW AIMS
TO BEAT GENERALS

UNIVERSITY, Va, October 3d.
Beat Washington and Lee" was the cry
from thousand University of Virginia
students who met the Cavalier squad
as it returned from the Vanderbilt
game.
And this same Cavalier squad has
started training on Lambeth Field for
the game Saturday with just one pur-
| pose In view, which Is to- try to get
into shape to beat the Generals.
Defeat at the hands of Vanderbilt
was not as discouraging as 1t might
seem, for the Cavaliers sent crippled
| team on the field and most of the
game was between the second elevens
of the two squads. Sloan, at quarter
back, and DeButts at tackle, were the
only two Virginians who played through
| the game.
Captain Luke, veteran 200-pound
| tackle, was not in uniform, and several
other regulars were kept on the bench
on account of injuries. Most of Van
derbilt's gains were through the tackle
where Luke would have played. Cap
tain Armistead and his men were stop
ped at other points, but none of the
three substitute tackles on the left side
of the line could check the Commodore
| thruStS consistently.
Hope that Captain Luke and Close
and Faulconer and others Of the Grip
| pied Cavaliers may be back in uniform

members of the squad who missed these
veterans In the game with the Commo-
dores.

Western Tech Grid Struggles
Close in Past Five Campaigns

IF the Western public high
/ school foot ball championship game
Friday in Central High Stadium
proves as close as have struggles
between these elevens during the
past five seasons, it will be a rouSing
battle. Since 1923, when Hardell became
Tech coach and Ahern Western mentor,
the game has never been decided by
more than one touchdown. Tech has
won two of the matches and the other
three have resulted in ties.
In 1923 Tech triumphed, to o; in
1924 the score was 7 to Z: in 1925,
0 to O.; in 1926, 6 to 6, and last Fall
Tech was victor, 6 to 0.
Hardell says that Techs material
this year is not as good as 1t was last
Fall, but that he hopes TO OFFSET this
by improved teamwork From his OBJ
servation the Western material appears
to be better than last season. Hardell
believes it will be anybody's game-a
typical Tech-Western battle of recent
years.
If several dependables can pass tests
to overcome scholastic failures, West
the field Friday markedly stronger than
to a 60 victory last Friday.
Should Western make strong show
ing in the public high school series this
Fall despite the handicap of starting
the season with an unusually limited
squad, it will be the second season
in the past three in which Ahern has
done well under these circumstances.
1t was in 1925 that Western, as
was the case this Fall, started the
season with just 13 players. Ahern re-
ceived additional material that year af-
ter the first advisory. as he hopes he
will this Fall. and contrived to tie
Tech for the championship at two wins
and two ties each.
Tech plans to start the same line
up Friday it has been using all season,
but Western will be unable to deter
mine upon its lineup until day or
two.
