Billy the Kid" which will open
at the Palace Theater Saturday Tor
one week, has been (, led by King
Vidor of Metro-G oldwyn- Mayer to
the rapidly increasing list of pic
lures dedicated to various phases OF
American history.
Billy the Kid" relates the STIR
ring happenings at Lincoln, New
Mexico, during the famous cattle
mems war" of 1878, 1879 and 1880.
The career of William Bonney dur
ing that time is the crux of the
widest point the wild west ever
reached.
Billy the Kid occupies a period
between The Covered Wagon and
the present day. 1t concerns the
period in the late 70S, when the west
had grown both rich and lawless.
William Booney was tie most
distinctive figure of this era. A
product of his time. - defended
his friends with his pistol. He
thought nothing of open warfare
with other men. He was the ring
leader of the famous McSween gang
in the Lincoln county war.
THE Kids greatest attribute was
his courage" stated King Vidor,
director of the picture. "The man
lived by violence and died violently,
but possessed bravery and capacity
Tor leadership which in more peace
full times. would have made him a
valuable citizen.
John Mack Brown plays The
Kid" and Wallace Berry gives. an
other of his inimitable characteri-
cations as Sheriff Garrett. Kay
johnson has the feminine lead.
Karl Dane is seen as the comic cow
boy Swenson.
The large cast also includes Wynd-
ham Standing. Russell Simpson,
Blanche FREDERICK. Roscoe Ates,
Warner p. Richmond. James Mar

AS "On the Loose" now stands, it
is miles and miles away from being
a Broadway show. That applies
both to the cast and to the play as
a play.
Miss Moore at times appeals to
one as being cute but miscast. 1t
is a far cry from the Miss Moore we
have known on the screen for so
many years from the Colleen Moore
that we have on the stage.
In fairness, I want to state that
they are still doctoring and work.
ing on the play. Have been in
formed that the first act is going
to be shortened and many changes
made. AS the first act now stands
it will not do.
If the play could keep pace with
the natural charm and wit at the
beginning of the second act, ION
the Loose" would have a good
chance.
Have your own idea about ION
the Loose" I have and I have told
you about it,.
The important thing about the
/ play is that it brings back to Eng
liSh'S theater as a modern home of
the drama. The new owners have
done wonders in making over this
theater.
There was speech making last
night at the opening with Roltare
Eggleston, the new manager, out
lining the policy of the beautifully
done over theater.
Representatives of the state and
city made short talks. Then Miss
Moore came on and by being human
the cute COLLEEN we know on the
screen made hit in a curtain talk.
I am happy to state that Eng
liSh's with all of it's fine tradition
and history, is open once more,
wonderfully done over and expertly
managed.
Once more we have a home for
music, drama and musical comedy
of which we have every reason to
be proud.

night.

A NEW UNIVERSITY

Not only a new university but a
new kind of university is to spring
up this year at Newark, N. j., from
$5,OOO,0O0 and an original idea, both
supplied by Louis Bamberger, big
department store proprier of that
city
This Institute for Advanced Study,
as it is to be called, will be unique
in that the students will pursue only
one of the various college activities
work. There will be no football,
baseball, fraternities, glee clubs or
even debating societies. 1t is to be
a. school for scholars, for men and
women of every creed or color who
have already accomplished some
thing in the field of learning and
who are ambitious to pursue special
studies and research work. There
will be no undergraduates; no
"charms and diversions usually as
sociated with college life, but stu
dents in pursuance of their work
may incidentally achiev such high
degrees as doctor of philosophy. Mr..
Bamberger is aided in financing the
institution by his sister, Mrs. Felix

NO WINTER HOME FOR
HARLEQUIN

The picturesque Harlequin cab
bage bug-with its beautiful eggs
resembling miniature white barrels
bound with black hoops, and black
spots set in the proper places for
bungholes-may invade the cabbage
patch throughout the year in the
South. 1t also appears occasionally
in the North in spring and summer
in sufficient numbers to cause dam
age, especially in certain localities.
Clean cultural methods, especially i'll
the fall, that is, the cleaning up Of
old cabbage, kale or turnips crops
which may harbOr the pest during
the winter months, is the best means
known of waging war on this pest.
Insecticides such as strong nicotine
soap solutions and pyrethrum COM
pounds are. of some value against
the immature forms. Control of this
pest by contact insecticides, how
ever, is difficult not only because OF
it's natural resistance to such mate
rials, but also because when feeding
upon some types of plants it is not
easil preached. Singeing the bugs
with a small hand torch made by
wrapping a piece of cloth around the
end of a stick, the cloth being satu-
rated with kerosene and then lit, is
a method which is used in some sec
tions with good success against the
pest when it attacks such crops as
cabbage and collards.
