when John Calvert fell under sus.

admitted that the dismissals were no

their successors had political endorse

Roper at the same time took pains
to praise Assistant Director II. RUS

He gave assurance that Amory

Adolph Menjou Star
In Most Human Role

She knew that he was in love with
his former wife. She knew that he
lied when he told her he loved her.
She didn't believe him when he said
she was the worlds worst actress.
And all because he was the most
irresponsible and charming man she
had ever known.
He had the HUMAN SIDE.
The Human Side" is the greatest
combination Of love, comedy and
complications that has reached the
screen in months.
Look at the people who love and
laugh and who get into trouble:
Adolphe Menjou in the fastest, fun
nleSt and most human role of his
career; Doris Kenyon in the loyeliest
and most lovable part she has played.
Betty Lawford, the "other woman
who could wreck any mans life;
Charlotte Henry, famed Alice If
Wonderland" in a role that makes
you want to sweep this adorable chile
into your arms; Reginald Owen anc
Joseph CaWthorn, two of the most
delightful comedians on the screen;
Dick Winslow as the boy who woulc
reform his father: George Ernest anc
tiny Dickie Moore in the OUTSTANDING
roles Of their careers.
It Is dramatically riotous stor,
about q man whom all women loyed
and who insisted in being in love
with his former wife In spite Of what

The Merry Widow Is
Glorious Film Treat
By George Clark

Respondent in its strikingly beau
tiful settings and costumes, filled to
the brim with sly, ingratiating humor,
telling q romantic tale that cannot
fail to delight every onlooker. and
ecnolng the never-to-be- forgotten
melodies Of Franz Lehar, THE Merry
Widow" opened last night at the
Paramount Theatre as one Of the
most glorious film treats ever offered
by the neutrality-suspicious. studios.
With cast that could not be Inn
proved upon and the superb direc.
ton OF Ernst Lubitsch this picture
floats along like bubble Of merri-
nlent to tell its story of the debonair
prince and the bewitching widow
whom he waltzes away to romance
amid the nocturnal delights OF Ray
Vienna and Paris.
Maurice Chevalier and Jeanette
Macdonald have never enioyed a
greater triumph. They sing the
Lehar songs as they have never been
sung before, backgroundcd by a mag
nlflcent symphony orchestra. Una
Merkel and George Barber help in
TIE humorous scenes and the eye>
lllllng dances and Albertina Rasch
pallets are a joy to behold. THE
Merry Widow is the grandest thing
to come out Of Hollywood in q long,
long time.
The gay revues at Maxim,s, the
famous "Can-Can' dance. the preaf
waltz number in the ballroom. with
background Of $50 Rasch dancers,
the much-talked-of White Set" and
otner elaborate high spots mark the

VALE always will have score to even
/ with Princeton, even though it wins
every game against the Tigers from now to
the year 1000.
It's all because Arthur Poe. Princeton
quarter away back in 1898, stole the ball
from a Yale man and galoped LOO yards for
the winning touchdown in GO game.
Durnstine of Yale was blowing through
the Princeton line from the Tigers .2-yard
stripe when Doc Hillebrand. Princeton
man, collared him. Poe slid in behind the
Yale halfback, snatched the ball from un-
der his arm - a play entirely legal - and
hot-footed it for the Yale goal.
It wasn't until the last stripe that Ben
jamin, Yale player, caught up with the fly
ing Poe-but it was too late then.

"A natural double header" is the

company. Fort Peck contractors.
The terrapin. alive, has two heads
with two sets of front legs and one
set of hind legs. Mr.. Nevins left
it for the winter in the rebtile house
of the St. Louis zoo, where it has
been the result of much comment
and speculation by scientists. The
terrapin was captured by Mr.. New
ms while on a fsein9 trip on the
Green river in Kentucky last sum-
mer. He noticed it, partly hidden
in the water, and picked it up.
Somewhat startled, he dropped it
but received it before it could swim
away.
Here is what one St. Louis news
paper says Of terrapin, which has
been named Hemackus:
"Hemackus is only too eager to
snap up morsels of fresh meat with
either mouth, the heads being in
dependent of each other. There are
two sets of front legs. The left set
is obviously under control of the
left head, while the right set is OBJ
viously worked by the right head.
Utter confusion results when
the left head decides to remain
still and the right head takes a no.
ton to move. Matters are simplified
when the two heads get together on
the idea of going places. although
very often the inner legs get tangl-
ed up.
There is but one set of hind legs.
R. Marlin Perkins, curator of rep
tiles, is of the opinion either head
can work the hind legs. There is
one tail. The two heads are retract-
able. The left head appears to pre-
dominate"
