TN THE Land of Film, all has been
 metamorphoscd by the sudden en- trance of the sound pictures.
 Stars of yesterday are wiped out to day; unknowns of today are luminaries next week.
 Seasoned, expert producers have to go back to school and learn new technique. new mechanics, new psyche logies, new methods of operation, new elements of thought The overnight revolution has changed Hollywood almost as thoroughly as the French revolution changed Paris.
 Song-writers. composers, dialogue sharks, singers-they dominate today where all their combined talents yeal ago weren't worth railroad fare to the Coast, Has-beens are being brushed off and rushed on.
 And collateral industries have felt the shock of the shake. The fabulous music publishing field has gone Holly wood as Hollywood has gone song, and today it is almost impossible to get number" published but through its acceptance first by a talkie maker The ancient "pugger" is in the dis, card. A successful sound film can sell more songs in day than an army of humans ever could in a year.
 The craze for shorts" in the new medium has opened dozen indepen- dent studios. Vaudeville acts are canned intact. Whole Broadway re. vues are being made piecemeal by the original casts. Sermons are preached in churches on Sundays from the screen, by nationally famous divines. "Legit" theatres are scrambling to be wired.
 Not since the advent of the radio has there been so much "going on' in the amusement worlds.
 But the extra seems to be about in statu QUO.

When only pulchritude was the test, there wasn't one who wasn't confident that if ever the great opportunity came, she would be ready and her troubles would he in the bag.

NO FUNDS ID AID
 STARVING AUSTRIA
Vienna Mayor Says Population
 Lives in Stark Misery

Vienna. Feb. P R-The Austrian parliament learned today that the country. in pathetic plight be- cause of the unprecedented winter, has no relief funds available in the national treasury or in the coffers of the city of Vienna.
 Dr. Karl Seitz. mayor of Vienna, said that the population of the city was living in the darkest misery with one man of every four unem- ployed and families of six or more persons forced to live in one room on government dole of only B weekly.
 The municipal government is feeding 10000 widows and or phans." he said. Unlike other countries. where sunshine succeeds the darkness of winter, Austria seems doomed to perpetual gloom. l ask the federal government to give us $2.000,000 additional for the re- lief of the starving population. All our funds have been exhausted"
 Dr. Joseph Resh. minister of so- cial welfare in the cabinet, replied that the national government was fully alive to the sufferings of the population, but that it would not advance further relief funds from its depleted treasry.

 "In dealing with the undergradu- ate problem including the freshmen we have after long study pitched upon a program which. while meet ing the immediate need of this group will allow us to build in accordance with an extremely flexible plan and permit us to experiment with small residential quadrangles around which We believe . wholesome and significant social life may develop.
 No Wholesale Disruption
 By beginning in this way on . modest scale, we shall avoid any sudden wholesale disruption of stu- dent habits and organizations and we can wisely adjust our procedure in the light of actual experience. The scheme contemplates the erection as rapidly as practicable of . number of quadrangles each housing from 150 to 25O students with dining halls. There will be commodious quarters for the head of the house groups who will naturally be members of the faculty and for as many assist ants as may be thought expedient
