Fine Football Fir,
Held Over at
RiaIto

Realistic gridiron action,
coupled with a smoothly running,
interesting story of college life.
makes "The Spirit of Notre
Dame" something out of the
ordinary in football pictures. The
film is being held over for a
second week at the Rialto.
It's a story of glorified college
spirit, of loyalty to coach. to
team and, above all. to Alma
Mater. 1t manages to hold the
attention throughout, without a
love interest or the usual hokum
one expects to find in college
pictures.
The excellent casting is largely
responsible for the films success.
Farrell Mcdonald, gives a
thoroughly convincing charac-
terization of Knute Rockne and
Lew Ayres Is well cast in the
role of the cocky high school
football star who comes to Notre
Dame to show his stuff.
Rockne's famous backfield. the
Four HorSeTnen and Frank
Carideo are employed to make
the gridiron scenes genuine
Many scenes from big games are
worked into the story effectively
with all the color and atmos
phere one finds on the Saturday
afternoon attractions.

Cayety FroIics
Over Emergency

After almost an hours delay
caused by an breakdown of the
truck on which much of the
scenery for this weeks show was
being carried, La Boheme Girls
opened with a bang and pre-
sented two hours of good enter
tainment.
The annoyance merely gave
Jimmy Lake another chance to
display his showmanship. After
explaining the trouble, he ordered
the asbestos curtain raised and
let his audience watch the stage
hands assemble the scenery. AL
Fisher, banjo player and featured
singer came to the rescue with
an impromptu bit in which a
blond-haired youth named Max,
who was seated in Row "A" "
volunteered to accompany him
on the piano and how that boy
could tickle the worries. Joe, the
popular cornet player, also helped
fill in with a comical version all
his own, of She'll Be Coming
Round the Mountain"
The Washington times., 1931-10-19
Bebe Yields
Honors to
Novice

Otis Skinner would have to look
twice to recognize in "The Honor
of the Family at the Earle this
week, the romance which served
him we'll as a vehicle for many
seasons.
The play has been modernized,
and, unless memory plays false. a
number of the names of the
characters are different. This is
written not in disparagment OF
the picture, but to call this play
to the attention of SINNERS old
fans.
Bebe Is Second
No one will object to the mag
netic Warren Williams, a screen
newcomer, in the swashbucklirg
role made imm 3ftal by Skinner
Bebe Daniels is starred, and never
appeared to better advantage;
but Williams walks away with the
picture. Alan Mowbray is a com
petent and convincing "heavy,"
and old Frederick Kerr is unSur-
passable.
The picture relates the method
in which a young captain, fresh
from Foreign Legion service, caves
his uncle from an adventures
and her male accomplices, to pre-
serve not only the honor of the
family. but its more material
assets.
Good Stage Show
Sammy Lewis and Patti Moore,
heading the stage show, are as
sisted by Ba,ney Dean and the
La Verne sisters in an act notable
for good dancing. Norman Fres-
colt, astrologer and mind reader,
with Bebe Stanton, mystifies the
audience. Tyler Mason offers
comedy. and the Six American
Belfords prese equilibristic
thrills. Maxine Doyle announces.
There's another good number of
Football Thrills" and the news
reel.-J. I. M.
