 Earlier in the week it was an- ncunced that 150 adults had at tended Night School organization meeting and that the prospects for several classes being held were good. However, actual attendance at classes last night gave indica- tions that some of the courses may be discontinued.
 Sixty-three students were in at tendance last night. More are ex- pected tonight by Night School of- ficials, but, unless at least ten students are enrolled in each class those courses which do not re- ceive much enrolment will be dropped.
 Courses which are in danger of being dropped are beginning type writing and beginning shorthand Only four persons registered for those classes last night. The knitting class, for which 12 per sons originally signed, dropped in actual attendance last night and will be discontinued unless more interest is shown. The same is true of English and Spanish in StructiOn.

IT IS wonder, indeed, that film
which boasts no Shearer, Harlow,
Blondell or Ruby Keeler should mean
so much to box-off1ce fans. Pictures
of the past which have told their
stories without benefit of flaming
heroine, a lip-stick queen with yard
length eyelashes. have died horrid
death in the great film territories.
Even the much-mulled-over yarns OF
Annapolis and West Point have not
always clicked in the provinces, due
to the fact that the heroine came in
only for the final clinches-was notice
ably absent through yards and yards
Of the rest of the celluloid.
Therefore. this interest in ''Mutiny
on the Bounty" is all the more aston
ishing-since no beady-eyed temptress
is listed among the stars. Pictures,
to be sure, have shown a very nice
little South Sea Isles maiden, wreathed
in smiles and other things, and there
is more than a hint of heat and
goingS-on in and around the palm
trees. Nevertheless, the fact remains
that no high-salaried siren went to
the South Seas with Mr.. Gable and
Charles Laughton and that good
S2,0OO,OO0 was spent without benefit
OF Garbo.
Already Manager Angie Ratio is
licking his chops over the prospect OF
having this M-G-M thriller in his
theater. If "Mutiny on the Bounty"
had theme song, there is no ques-
tion but that Mr.. Ratio would be play
ing it on his accordion right now. As
1t is, he is going around wreathed in
smiles and saying Hi-diddle-diddle"
to all troubles and annoyers. A man
of eloquent disposition in the normal
course of his affairs, he is now prac-
tically batty with good humor.

THE director of Remember Last
Night?" which comes to Keith's
tomorrow, is man who in the shuf-
f1e of Hollywood is sometimes apt to
be forgotten. James Whale was the
man who directed and was responsible
originally for the production of Jour
ney's End" A modest, unassuming
young man. with prematurely gray
hair. steel gray eyes and vast store
Of knowledge, he lives now on one of
Hollywood's highest hills, overlooking
the fiat prairies of light which below
him form the nucleus of Los Angeles.
Mr.. Whale is popular among direc-
tors and particularly with the Laem-
niles at Universal because it is pretty
well known that he has never done
a second-rate job. When he works he
works like hallelujah and when he
loafs he is very likely to be discovered
in his library reading Alice in
Wonderland
His home is mine of good taste,
good books and good company, and
when he entertains. although given to
ribbing his U. S. A. cronies for having
been born this side of Picadilly, he
nevertheless gives his guests a whack-
ing good time.
He spoke recently of Remember
Last Night?" with modesty but at the
same time with hopeful gayety. He
said: II think you will like it,
