VARSITY" Shapes Up as
Unusual College Film

Varsity" Charles Buddy Rogers
first starring picture now playing at
the Earle Theater, Is unusual in
that, although a picture of college
life, it contains none of the custom
ary embellishments which have
hitherto appeared on the screen as
characteristic of college life. 1t does
not show any football scenes or
scenes Of any climactic athletic
event. 1t has no deans daughter to
encourage here. Ukeleles are miss
ing entirely, and there are no refer
ences to clubs, fraternities or any
undergraduate social system. Back
slapping and tricks on professors
are omitted and ''kollege kut
klothes" find no market.
Varsity" is a story with a back
ground of college life as it is.

JACK DONAHUE
IS NATURAL
DANCER

Out of that greatest of all
actors training schools the
small-time vaudeville theater-
came Jack Donahue to stardom
and the place he now holds as
the featured comedian with Mari
Iyn Miller in Florenz Ziegfeld's
musical hit, "Rosalie" at the Err
langer Theater.
He was born in Boston, Mass,
and-in common with so many
theatrical biographies-it must be
stated here, his parents objected
strenuously to his ambition to
become dancer. Strangely
enough, they harbored a desire
that he would go to West Point
and he is now playing the role of
a West Point cadet in 'Rosalie.'
Donahue left school at an early
age and went into vaudeville, Sc
curing his first engagement in a
little theater in Boston. He is
natural dancer and prides himself
on the fact that he has never
had a dancing lesson in his life,
dlLHOuSIl. he Is iO" NO-pl Opi ACtOh

in the Times Square district
which caters principally to pro-
fessional dancers.
From small-time vaudeville his
incredible dancing steps and his
hilarious "clowning" won him a
place in the 1.-TWO. day" and he
is said to have been the highest
paid performer OF his type ever
to play the Palace Theater, the
mecca of all vaudeVillians.
His first role in New York
production was in 1.-TWO Little
Girls in Blue" where he won the
attention of Florenz Ziegfeld. who
saw in him the makings of a star
of no mean merit. His first big
hit on Broadway was in Sunny"
in which he was featured with
Marilyn Miller.
He is married and the father
OF three little girls. His hobby

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Tnere is much to excite the attention of Herbert Hoover, president-eleet in Peru as he reaches there on his good will tour of Latin American countries.
 The Tacna-Arica dispute. a na- tional controversy between Peru and Chile since 1883, now is in process of direct negotiations be- tween the two republics. The United States, after an active part in attempting to further a settle- ment, is standing by hoping for success of these negotiations.
 Aside from the possibility that this issue may be brought to the attention of the President-elect, Peru offers the goodwill party an intriguing view of South American culture, ancient and modern.
 Modern Architecture
 There will be unfolded to the tourists magnificent vista of modern architecture, bathed in the soft sunshine of the tropics. and fleeting glimpses of the remarkable civilization of the Incas of which even Plzarro, conqueror of the country, stood in awe.
 Lima, capital of the republic, known in ancient times as the "City of Kings is eight miles from the port of Callao. at which the Hoover boat, the battleship Maryland, will dock. It is Lima of which has been written:
 ''In awful pride, enthroned
 above the skies,
 Peaks upon peaks in match
 less grandeur rise;
 Mid frowning glaciers upon
 whose snowy crest,
 The savage vulture builds it's
 craggy nest"
 Peru's greatest resources of na- tional wealth are mining, Mir. Hoo ver's own profession. and agricul- ture. One of it's greatest needs is transportation facilities, parti- cularly modern highways. although much progress has been made in the last decade.
 Fine Highway
 Callao now is connected with Lima by 60-foot concrete road, considered one of the finest built highways, but progress in road building has been impeded by the expense and difficulty of con- structing highways in such a mountainous country. However.
