RICHMAN FILM
HOLDS OVER

Putin On the Ritz" goes into
second week at Loew's Columbia
Theater. Certainly there are those
who may find in this picture
something which this reviewer
missed. AS sure-fire entertain
ment it just fails to click-it lacks
punch and it lacks novelty.
True Harry Richman. Broad
way star, does some excellent
singing though even the songs
seem not to do him justice. Joan
Bennett on the other hand is
more than pleasing in few short
song parts largely because OF the
suitability of the music.
The lovely little star is charm
ing and exquisite. Jimmy Glea-
son likewise is not afforded op-
portunity for his usual clever act
ing, while Lily Tashman, in a
small role. is particularly salts
factory, Aileen Pringle, Richard
Tucker, Purnell Pratt, and Eddie
Kane are numbered in the list
of performers.
Putin On the Ritz" claims
some tuneful song numbers, but
otherwise it is painfully made
quate, mere replic1 OF many
earlier sound productions but with
less of interest and appeal.
Hot Dog" the added feature
tells another story for it is quite
worth ones admission and time

NEW YORK, November 9 R.-After

Of its teams into the East Saturday to
Furnish the chief attraction on three
battle fronts.

T rs the same old story-Apaches VS..
Mohawks for the District cham
pionship.
The rout Of the Knickerbockers
last night and the Northerns last week
at the hands of the Mohawks and
Apaches, respectively. proved one thing
even a winning sandlot team cannot
be gathered together In one-half a
season.
There were some rear foot ball players
in the Knick line-up, but the Mohawks
served warning TO the Apaches that
they're ready. They worked smoothly
for the first time last night.
The Knicks lacked the experience Of
playing together. So did the Northerns,
for they lost many of their mainstays.
The Apaches and Mohawks still include
In their hne-ups many of the players
who were with those clubs from their
organization.
In humbling the Knicks last night,
q fine brand Of consistency was dis
played by the Abbey-coached club. In
each quarter one touchdown was regis
tered. The two extra points were made
In the first half.
The punting of two of the city's best,
Fee Colliere and Hooley Gass, was one
of the features Of the evening, while
the play of AL McAlwee, center, was
the feature of the Knick play.

trot out a pair of athletes against the
Irvingtons, who are expected to play a
big part toward the Indians tight to
retain their title. They are Ty Rau-

The Irvingtons held the Mohawks to
a scoreless tie last Sunday and an
idea of the comparative strength of the
Indian rivals probably will be gained
through this game.

BIG MUSIC OUTFITS
LIFE OF FOOT BALL
Job as BandSman Eagerly
Sought-PiStoI Shooter
Is important.

0HICAGO. November g.
1 Foot ball in the Western
~ Conference and Middle
West has become some
thing considerably more than q
contest between 20 running,
whirling and clutching young
maniacs. A game in the Big Ten
resembles a combined athletic
event, Elks' parade and music
festival. The pageantry attendant
upon a game is becoming more
colorful and intricate each sea-
son, while the marching and toot-
ing of the huge bands is almost
as important to the customers as
the final score.
The East will be initiated anew to
the color and Importance of Midwestern
college bands, Saturday, when the nlu-
sicians of Illinois, Ohio State, Michigan
and Notre Dame follow their gridiron
squads over the Alleghenies for games
with Army, Navy, Harvard and Penn
sylvania.

making" Band Real Task.
To be bandsman at one of the Big
Ten institutions requires almost as
much practice and certainly more
foot work than Is demanded of
tackle or halfback. A fellow earns his
place on the band in exactly the same
way as a foot ball player wins a posi-
tion-through competition. And then
If he is real slick with the oboe and
knows all the marching formations he's
in heavy with the goods for the year.
Illinois with $50 pieces has the larg-
est Of the Big Ten bands. but Ohio and
Michigan are not far behind with 100.
Notre Danes band that is more mill
tary in appearance will number less
than 100, but is a capable outfit. You
can find almost every sort Of an instru-

ment in these bands even down to
Swiss bells and the young men render a
fair sort Of music.
Until recently most of the bands
limited their repertory to their own
college songs and of those of their op-
ponentS. But now they can snap out
Betty Coed" March of the Vaga-
bonds" Strike up the Band" and, OF
course, Hail, Hail. the Gangs All
Here" which Is good for either victory
or defeat. AS an innovation this year
the bandsmen also sing. Next season
they may take up dancing.
Drum Majors Strut.
A PruSsian drum major used TO be
considered the Alpha and Omega Of
swank. But II an old Prussian only
could see one Of the Big Ten drum
majors, wearing q high bearskin shake
and polished Hessian boots, Roose-step-
ping down the field, with his back
arched into question mark, and flip
the baton over the gold bar--well, then
any old Prussian would take 10 the
nearest river.
The drum major has his picture lin
the papers at least once a week: al
ways Is mentioned prominently In &C
counts OF the game and Is just about
as important Is the coach and entire
foot ball team.
Next to being drum major the best
on the Big Ten band Is pistol shooter.
The pistol shooter marches we'll in the
rear ranks of the band and guides its
formations by firing blank cartridges.
The drum major cannot see where he
Is going, once he gets his back prop
erly arched, and the musicians are too
busy. SO the pistol shooter is the pilot
and there is much competition for the
job since 1t Is easier to fire AS than
learn how to finger a tuba.
Another undergraduates position
Is first assistant drum beater. All Of
the conference schools go in for big
drums. Purdue advertised the fact
that 1t Is owner Of the largest drum In
the world-one with a 7-foot diameter
that just barely can be trundled into a
freight car These drums ride on a
small cart that is pulled by crew of
four boys. The. regular drum beater
often gets tired hammering the huge
goat hide and that's where the first
assistant beater gets his chance for
fame.
