PUPIL NOW
A STAR

College college love-
and college romance plays an
important role In the all dia-
logue picture entitled The
Sophomore" now playing the
Rialto Theater. Discriminating
film fans win find much to
quench their thirst for real
screen comedy in THE Sopho-

Sally O'Neil and jeanette Loft.
and Q host Of other clever and
talented youngsters, this humor.
Gus story Of modern college life
has proved itself one Of the
most popular pictures Of the
day.
Eddie Quillan. that youthful
comedian who first got his
chance in Mack Sennett's pie
throwing institution, but who
graduated into feature produc-
tions when he appeared in The
Goddess Girl" gives a delight
full performance.
QuiIlan Is Of the ideal, wise
cracking college boy type-an
exaggerated college boy to be
sure, but nevertheless the kind
we are accustomed to see in real
life as well as In reel life.
Sally O'Neil and jeanette
Loft lend splendid support In
important roles. Miss O'Nen in
this picture proves beyond o
doubt that the talkies are her
forte.
There's a human and charm
ing romance In "The Sopho-
more" The football game is
different from any yet pictured
on the screen. The hero goes
into the game at the crucial
moment but instead Of making
q sensational play, he Is knocked
out in the first scrimmage and
carried off the field. A few
moments later, however, he
saves the game In a sensational
scene in which he tackles his
teams captain as the latter Is
making a thrilling run in Che
wrong direction. This climax
is one that will bring q gasp
from any audience and start
every football fan in every city
in America discussing the play
and the picture.

AND WHAT HE
LIKES

Bert wheeler longed to be Q
matinee idol.
For years his greatest amoi'
ton was to carry a cane down
Broadway-without getting the
bird. He ventured spats-he
braved the mob in q top hat
but somehow he never could
dare q cane.
Then, when he Joined the
Lambs-that union league OF
the stage-the president gave
him q swanky stick. He carried
II one night. He walked 10
blocks-no one even turned
around. Then just as he was
passing his own theater, . little
newsboy who used TO sell him
papers, gave him the bird
Biz bird-a loud bird. Wheeler
turned and glared. The urchin
glared back and gave him the
bird again-and said: I mean
Your see Bert Wheeler In
Radio Pictures "Rio Rita" But
did you ever see him in the
"Follies?" He was the comedian
who came out, sat down in the
footlight trough, cried, ate Q
ham sandwich, and sang a love
ditty. all at the same time.
He's an earnest little fellow,
this revue clown, who has
brought more cheer to Broadway
than the skyrocketing Of any
stock. Sort Of a dreamer. Says
that for years before his name
was put up in electric lights
along Applesauce Alley. he used
to go into his dressing room
every night with the same eager,
sort of fearful hope, that a let
ter from Ziegfeld offering him .
Job would be awaiting him
that intense eagerneSS-that
never faltering hope-that
watchful eye for that long
awaited letter became q part Of
his life.
"And when I finally signed
with Ziegfeld and began work
ing in his theater, and went to
work every night knowing that
there wasn't that letter to look
forward to, something seemed
missing in life. I think I grew
up when I finally stopped hop
ing for that letter"
That face and his funmaking
have brought him fame and for
tune since, though, and q lot Of
happiness.
He's the sort Of man that likes
vivid colorS-never wears jew
elry. He's mad about six-day
bicycle races. Used to arrange
his vaudeville bookings so that
he could take a vacation when
the Madison Square races were
on. Smokes CheSterfields-
drives a Chrysler-and has
driven 1t crosS-country three
timeS-and doesn't like pictures
Of himself around.
You'll like Bert Wheeler.
You'll laugh at him, too. And
you'll see in him behind the gag
comedy-the little boy that
wanted to be Carter de Haven
and carry a cane.
