GAtage." The idea is to have
Ralph Morgan voice chapters in
the life Of a railroad magnate
for whom he was secretary and
the incidents are unfoIoed on the
screen. In some respects it is
desirable but others may find that
itSJumpy continuity is not an aid
to suspense. Time sequences are
adjusted to suit the authors con-
Aenience.
Tracy Is Star
Preston Stufges wrote the story
u Tom Garner, rail tycoon. His
character and career are followed
from the time that he was an
Hliterate track walker until he oc-
ctpieS the presidents mahogany
desk. Colleen Moore is his wife
from poverty to riches. Eventually
Garner falls in love with a cheat
ing siren and forces his wife's sui
eide. Then he married the vamp
only to have his second romance
go aStray and write self-destruc-
ton as the final chapter.
Power and the Glory" is a
beautifully acted picture. Spencer
Tracy is thoroughly fine as the
ruthless railroad czar who lost
happiness with success. Colleen
Moore in a less important role is
excellent and can give all of the
Hollywood girls cards and spades
when 1t comes to taking on years
convincingly for the camera.
Ralph Morgan and Helen Vinson
are competent in the other i'm
portant roles and good scores are
turned in by a clever group Of
juvenile actors.
I liked William K. Howard's d.
rection. In fact I liked about
everything in "Power and the
Glory" It is an adult picture
with well developed and thought
full theme.
Good Stage Revue
On the stage Jack Sidney head
lines with a very clever revue. Or
I should say a revue with clever
people. The Stewart Sisters are
his topnotchers, a trio who are at
home with the microphone in
novelty songs, and one steps out
to give smart imitation of Joe
Penner. Wilbur Halls trick violin
playing and Eddie Stewards dane
ing on prop piano were well ap-
plauded. Annette Ames, dimin-
utive dancer, singer and mimic,
and Birdie Dean, a graceful girl
who can bend like pretzel, COM
plete the act. Mr.. Sidney sells his
talent with a toothy smile and
baritoneS acceptably.
Eddie Carr generally vows 'em.
He found the 4 o'clock audience
cold and failed to wake 'em up.
Reception fair for anybody but
Carr, and my guess is he needs
some new limitations. Too many
are doing Chevalier. Jimmy Dur.
ante and Ed Wynn. Bill Telaak
proves that good acrobates seldom
make good comedians, and AL
1oyal's dogs are amusing as
always.
Phil Lampkin's overture this
week has a Bowery flavor. It is
filled with the tunes that grandpa
hummed and the stage is set in
the Sweet Adeline era. The audi
ence reliShed it. May I suggest
that Maestro Lampkin take his
musicians to lower playing level.

MORTON AND LEYS
DEVELOP SPEEDILY
Both Ends Who Will Oppose
Navy Were Taken From
Other Positions.

7 UNIVERSITY, Va, October
| 18.-Virginia's ends, which
~ early in the season ap-
peared to be the weakest
places in the Cavalier line, are
gradually developing into points
of real strength.
BY the time the Virginians get
through the Navy game next Saturday
and are ready for their Southern Con-
ference rivals. v. M. l.. Maryland.
Washington and Lee, v. P. I. and North
Carolina, Ken Morton and John Legs
will have won the right to be regarded
as seasoned veterans of wing play.
Morton it was who scored against
Columbia last Saturday when the ball
bounded out of the arms Of AL Barabas
into his grasp, and he lugged 1t 10
yards over the goal with Cliff Mont
gomery and Joe Maniaci both hanging
on for the last S of his jaunt.
OF THE four Virginia ends who saw
action against Columbia. three
have been converted from other
positions. Morton was a guard. Legs
and Gully Wilkin, who replaced him,
both played in the backfield. Bob Cut
ler was the only one who played end
last Fall
Cutler just missed a chance to score
against the Lions in the fourth period
when he took pass from Gene Munger
inside the 20-yard line for q 17-yard
gain. He was almost in the clear when
two tacklers snagged him.
When the season started Cutler was
the only end left over from last years
varsity squad. after Gene Wager had
been shifted back to center where he
had once played. Coach Fred Dawson,
aided by Gus Tebell and Butch
Slaughter. has had to develop men for
the hanks as the season progressed.
TINE way these Virginia ends kept
Columbia's fast backs inside them
was highly gratifying to their
tutors. They have been told, however,
that the Navy circling movement is
considerably stronger than that of Co.
lumbia. and, therefore, very dangerous
Virginia scouts who saw the Midship-
men play Mercer and Pittsburgh report
that speed Is the chief characteristic
of the Navy attack. Consequently Cut
Ter, Legs Morton, Wilkin and the other
Virginia ends are getting special in
structions in how to deal with fast playa
launched from the Notre Dame shift.

SLUMP IS SHAKEN
BY c. u. GR|DDERS
Team Heartens for Contest
With Chattanooga Friday
by Routing Frosh.
SPIRITED and thoroughly

A SPIRITED and thoroughly
~ aroused Catholic Univer-
a sity foot ball team, which
apparently has taken a
new lease on life, today was
awaiting eagerly Friday nights
intersectional clashing with the
University Of Chattanooga's Moe
casins at Griffith Stadium.
Emerging from the slump that had
terday dealt their supporters and
coaches alike pleasant surprise,
marching with clocklike precision
through a freshman eleven armed with
Chattanooga plays.
Whereas they had been pushed about
rather rudely by the freshies previously,
c. US varsity ploughed through the
first-year men at will scoring seven
touchdowns as the yearlings struggled
futilely.
DERCEPTIBLY heartened by the
showing of his varsity squadron,
- Head Coach Dutch Bergman to-
day was convinced that his eleven. If
it duplicates that performance tTloay
night, will be returned victorious over
Chattanooga.
THE boys played better yesterday
than at any other time this season"
Bergman declared. They've regained
their old fight, have more spirit than
ever and simply refuse to be stopped.
I've repeatedly stated that we've got
to be at the top of our game to beat
Chattanooga Friday night. And I'm
here to say that our squad was at the
top of its game with plenty to spare
yesterday"
1.-TWO changes in the starting lineup
will be effected when c. U. lines
up against Chattanooga. Tommy
Finn, passing wizard, will relieve the
injured Tom Gearty at left halfback,
while Harold McGann, ambitious soph-
omore. will replace John Ball at left end.
Although the fleet-footed Gearty Is
numbered among c. us outstanding
threats, Finn, a combination broken
field runner and aerial tosser, should IN
no way retard his teams progress. One
of the most promising backs on Cath
olic US roster, Tommy is picked by
many to develop into his eleven's stand
out threat
McGann. improving every time out,
has been given the call over Hall due to
his offensive work.
