The Rubicon, as you know, is
a modist little stream, very in
nocent to the unwary eye; yet
to cross it, even figuratively, is a
step no less fateful today than it
was thousands of years ago when
Caesar stood on the soil of Tus-
cany and looked across with
calcula ting eye at the legions of
Pompey. Therefore. to say that
Pitt, Tennessee. Tulane, Utah and
st. Mary's are to cross their
Rubicon tomorrow is to concede
that the climax of their careers
it at hand.
Each is undefeated and united
to date, thus taking rank with
Notre Dame, Purdue, Texas Christ
ian and other national leaders.
Each draws live one for it's
opponent on this, the final day
of their schedules, although it
must be admitted that most of
the opposition could be better
without coming downright
good.

1t is a delightful story with an old

everybody knows the family affairs

audience.
Novelty, also, will be displayed in

and Jean Arthur. The production
is talking throughout and is cor
sidered one of the best of its kind
because of the splendid screen voices
of the stars in this cast.
The story is built around the
mysterious murder of a Broadway
chorus favorite known as the can
ary." She was the type who thought
nothing of employing her charms
for the purpose of e%nsnaring mil
lionaires and it was while in the
act of Matchmaking her victims that
she was murdered.
So careful was the killer with
his plans that police were about to
give up when Philo Vance took a
hand. His keen sense of deduction
and the methods employed as a
means of detecting the guilty party
make of this mystery story one of
the best offered to the public.

In many respects 1.-THE Goddess

brought to the motion picture
screen. The sequences from start

their realistic treatment.
The story has to do with the
spreading OF "modernistic thought"
in American schools and colleges.
Miss Basquette as the Goddess
Girl" is seen as the head of a society
which promotes such thought and
more or less ScornS at conventions.
The disSension resulting among

spectacular sequences ever filmed.
In the rush a girl student Is killed.
AS a result of this the leaders of
the two student bodies are sentenced
to a penal institution where most of
the picture is screened. The realism
Of De Mile is again seen here when
the terrible conditions of the institu-

A love story runs throughout the
picture and the latter part of it is

WASHINGTON, June 26.-Re-

velopments indicate a general trend
unfavOrable to recognition Of the

quarter today.
There has been a movement ia

The outstanding characteristic of
this type Of communism is said to
be the theory that the Russian
soViets can not endure on COM

world is converted. This belief is
advanced as the cause of the inter-

against the Russian communist
party.
