as we'll as the director, are respon-
sible for this happy condition. This
picture has a comfortable glow
which reaches every one in the au-
dience. The screen for years has
needed the artistry Of Pauline LORD.
She brings many mannerlsms to
each character she portrays and her
Mrs. Wigs is no exception. Her
powerful expressive hands add even
greater interest to Mrs. Wigs. Miss
Lord makes Mrs. Wigs a normal
and devoted mother who faces pow
erty with her children. She gives
this movie great acting in at least
two great scenes. Watch her care
fully as she goes to the theater with
all of her children but one. It's hon
est acting. Although it may appeal
to some as hokum, Miss Lords SIN
cerity prevents it from being hokum.
Watch her as she tells her son,
Jimmy, played in a most persuasive
way by George Breakston, of the
play Just before he dies. It's great
acting on Miss Lords part. The
same applies to Breakstone.
A corking boy performance is
given by Jimmy Butler as Billy
Wigs. All of the children in the
cast are excellent and they act
naturally all the time.
Real comedy is supplied by ZaSu
Pitts and w. G. Fields as the love
birds. You will remember Miss
Hays cooking for months to come.
This is one movie that will cap
ture the enthusiasm of every man,
woman and child in the country.

Dean Brothers Boost
Post Series Earnings
to $4,000 at Chicago
By United Press

By United Press
CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-The bank
roll of the pitching Dean boys,
Dizzy and Daffy, has been increased
by $4,000 since the world series.
They took down S5,OOO-more
than Daffy made all 'season-for
pitching two innings each for the
Mills semi-pros yesterday against the
transforming Kansas City Monarchs
before 10000 at Mills stadium. Mills
won, 1873, and the Deans didn't
have to exert themselves.
In three previous exhibition
games the Deans collected $4,000.
They were to appear in Milwaukee
today, and then fly to Philadelphia
for an engagement tomorrow night.
They will barnstorm in the east I'M
til Oct. Is, then rehearse two days
for a three weeks vaudeville tour
which will pay them $500 and ex-
penses.
Paul, called Daffy, allowed one
run and three hits and famed one
yesterday. Dizzy allowed two runs
and three hits and famed three.
Two Of the three runs made off
them were unearned

This list includes the great Michi-
gan team which for years dominated
the game in the Big Ten; the VOL
verines have not only been beaten
but they have dropped two games
in row. This is a most unusual
situation. Is that commotion you
hear in the locker room old man
Yost climbing back into his coach
ing uniform?
And consider the unprecedented
plight of Southern Caifornia-once
the proud national leader in foot
ball. Beaten a week ago by Wash
ingtOn State, the young men from
the west came back TO take it on the
chin again, and with even greater
violence, from, Pittsburgh. What
has happened to that amazing
Jones system?
A few other name teams Of foot
ball that have been fattened already
are St. Mary's. Ohio State, NOtre
Dame, Purdue, Georgia Tech,
Georgia, Iowa, Nebraska, Yale,
Washington State and n. Y. U And
since the assignments get tougher
from now on, this list is certain to
grow both in length and frightful-
ness.
The sweeping rush of upsets has
already taken some of the glamour
off one of New YOrk's biggest inter-
sectional matches-Fordham against
ST. Marys, listed for Saturday. 1t
undoubtedly will still be a whale
Of war but it won't be duel be-
tween two indicated teams. The
effect will be felt hardest at the box
Office.
IT is much too early of course to
L start talking about standout
teams, either sectionally or nation
ally. In one respect, however, the
dope seems to be standing up.
Pittsburg was known to have fine
team. The decisiveness with which
the Panthers outplayed Southern
California Saturday eliminated all
doubts.
For all anybody knows to the con-
trary the Panthers may be the best
team in the east. And take a quick
glance at their schedule for the re-
mainder of the season: Minnesota,
Notre Dame, Nebraska, Navy and
Carnegie Tech. 1t scarcely bristles
with soft touches, does it?
The plain truth is it is a more
formidable schedule than Army'S,
Princeton's, Columbia's, Colgate's or
Fordhams -the teams which logic
ally figure to warrant topmcst con-
sideration as eastern powers. If

this winter in your back yard or
in the casting pool On Fall creek.
BY the opening Of the season next
spring you should be able to lay
out pretty cast. The rest will
come with experience. Nothing can
take it's place.
Question-My fishing friends have
persuaded me to try a fly rod for
bass. I've made the rounds of the
sporting goods stores and the choice
has narrowed to two rods, both
about the same price and made by
Well-known firms. One has a steel
core, the other hasn't. Is the steel
core an advantage? I've heard
that it detractS from the action.
Answer believe your informant
is right in saying that the steel
cored rod will not have the action of
the regular split bamboo stick. I've
never handled one but that is what
I've heard from fly fishermen who
should know.

Pittsburg can go through its sched-
ule without slip it certainly will
have established itself as one of the
great teams of the year.
There are any number Of i'm
portant games on the schedule for
this weekend but I think the stand
out game is Pittsburgh against
Minnesota. 1t is quite within the
realm of possibility, to coin a phrase,
that this will be a meeting between
the champion team of the east and
the champion team of the west.
A LII I heard about in the middle
IN west last week was Minnesota,
team of giants, geared to tremen-
dous exploits Just wait until you
get load of those babies -. Well,
happy coincidence in match
making has brought them face to
face with another team of giants
fired by Olympian ambitions.
1t ought to be a grand show and
if those Weinstocks, Weisenbaughs
and NiCksickS, to say nothing of
those Hartwigs in the line, are half
as competent as it is said they are,
I'll have to string along with the
PittSburgers. I am told they made
those Southern Californians look
downright amateurish. A team that
can do that to even an inferior
Southern California team must have
something besides a college yell, and
a military shift.
can imagine Notre Danes VIC
tory over Purdue was very crafty
ing to Elmer Layden, the new coach
You see Purdue is coached by Noble
Kizer. For many days last winter
it looked as if Kizer was going to
Notre Dame as head coach instead
Of Layden.
So you can see a strained situa-
ton must have existed in that
game, no matter how the two men
felt about it personally, and the
chances are they experienced nc
feeling about it at all. They are
that type of men. Anyway, it was
a break for Layden to win, especial
ly after seeing his charges blow last
weeks game to Texas by the margin
Of one point.
