The old question who is smarter,

up again today at George Wash.

women pointing to the black-and.
white proof in their favor.
Goods are pointing with pride
to the comparison of scholastic
achievement Of the two sexes for
the past year, based on an index
taken from the grades of each.
But the masculine students,
naturally enough, are pffff-ing at
the proof, with the jibe that
grades don't mean anything, any
way.
The scholastic index gave the
women 30 for the first semester

men showed a bare 1893 for the
first term and 2.O8 for the second.

1.-The Yellow Cruise" the mo-
ton picture record of the most ad
venturous journey in modern
times, the Citroen-Haardt expedi
ton into Central Asia, will have
its American premiere at the
Little Theater following the en-
gagement of "All Quiet on the

The expedition followed the ex.
act route of Marco Polo, who first
penetrated into this mo mans
land" of the world. The strange
races with their colorful native
dress, tribal rituals and celebra.
tions, and the magnificent vistas
of mountains and plains were
brought back in a Photographic
record of the trip.
Asia and Africa are shown in
grim, foreboding light in which
nature in all her magnificent glory
shames the work of man. But
back of it all is shown the tragedy
of mans struggles against time
and the elements"

'HeII's Angels
At RioIto

Multi-million-dollar productions
are today accepted almost as a
matter of course, but "Hel's
Angels" which opened yesterday
at the Rialto Theater, still holds
a few records of it's own.
It's unique claim to fame is the
fact that it was practically com
pleted as a silent picture at a cost
of $2,000,000 when sound came
into general use, and made it
necessary for Producer Howard
Hughes to scrap practically all of
the film and begin it again as a
talking picture. And tied with
this record is the length of time
spent in production. More than
three years elapsed from the mo,
ment production was started and
the release of the film.
Never before or since has such
a fleet of air craft been assembled.
Eighty-seVen planes, half of which
were actual war types, took part in
the aerial sequences. To man these
ships, 1877 pilots and as many me-
chanics were engaged. Another
amazing figure is that of the dis
tance covered by the planes during
the filming, 227 900 miles.

Marion Davies and Clark Gable

tan production filled with music,
comedy and romance, will be the
screen attraction at the Metro
politan Theater after "A MidSum-
mer Nights Dream" concludes its
run Tuesday night, November 10.
Besides the colorful background
of the theater and the thrill Of a
championship battle in the ring,
there are two big speciality num-
bers in this new film. In one
of these the Thousand Love
Songs" number, Miss Davies leads
16O of Hollywood's most beautiful
chorus girls through spectacular
scenes and intricate dance rou-
tines. The other is the "Coney
Island" number, filled with COM
edy.
Miss Davies has the role OF a
young waitress who wins stage
fame almost overnight, while
Gable is a young prize fighter
whose career becomes linked with
hers. The supporting cast in
cludes such talented performers
as Roscoe Karns, Walter Catlett,
Davis Carlyle, Hobart Cavanagh,
Ruth Donnelly. Pert Kelton and
Joseph Crehan.

"LibeIed Lady, Is Rated Best
Comedy Picture of 1886

"Libeled Lady" Metro-Gold-
wyn-Mayer picture which opened
last night at Loew's Palace, is a
piquant, laugh-provoking comedy.
Presenting four of Hollywood's
topflight stars, the picture itself
is easily a four-star attraction.
This hilarious concoction, con-
tanning more than a dash of pap
rika, is one of the funniest and
cleverest films that filmdom has
turned out and, to my mind, is
unqueStionably the best comedy
film of the year.
The dialogue throughout this
audaciouS and speedy play is done
in the best manner. 1t runs the
gamut from sophisticated dialogue
to flip wise cracks and gags. Yet
it is a cohesive, we'll integrated
piece of work and carries dramatic
integrity along with its flippancies.
Brilliance Above ReprOach
Daring enough in places to
make the old lady from Dubuque
blush, it's brilliance and sparkling
sophistication so far override this
factor that it is shame to bring
it up at all.
The play is elegantly presented.
William Powell is a Suave and pol
ished gentleman-adventurer hired
by a newspaper to compromise
a girl who is suing for libel.
He falls for the girl, how
ever, all of which puts the harried
editor, played by Spencer Tracy,
into hot water. These two gen.
tlemen do excellent characterize
tionS and offer as enjoyable an
evenings work as any one could
wish to see.
Jean Harlow, as a tough laSsle
who tangles in the editors troubles
has a role that is cut to fit the
Harlow talents. Miss Harlow has
been more or less typed" into
these Seamy characters and the
girl certainly comes through.
Myrna 10y Stands Out
Myrna 10y stands out in a clear
cut and excellently wrought char
acterization, but then Miss 10y, If
you'll take my word for it, is al
ways tops.
Walter Connolly and E. E. Give
contribute greatly to the films
success.
The plot of this picture is COM
plicated, yet it is worked out
smoothly and with rollicking wise
good humor.
"Libeled Lady" is one of the few
pictures that really rates all the
adjectives the producers apply to
it. The usual subsidiary films are
presented. j. W.B.

"AII Quiet" At
The Little

"AT Quiet on the Western
Front" the stirring war picture
which opened yesterday at the
Little Theater, was regarded at the
time of it's initial release, as the
greatest antidote to war ever
filmed.
Based on the novel by the Ger
man eX-soldier, Erich M ar a
Remarque, critics throughout the
country emphasized its universal
appeal.
But, in Germany, the home Of
the author, the first showing OF
the film let loose a storm of con-
troverSy and criticism. Daily news
stories we're carried in the leading
American papers and by the press
services telling of the public and
political reaction there. The Ber-
lin correspondent of the New York
Times was of the opinion that the
intense opposition to the picture,
particularly of the Nazi party, was
an indication of the return of the
military spirit in Germany.
Not only were the Berlin news
papers outSpoken in their denun-
Citations of the picture as anti
German, but riots were continuous
during the seven-day run of the
picture. DR.. Goebbels, now one OF
Hitler's chief lieutenantS, person
ally headed 200 Nazis who threw
maladorouS bombs and sneezing
powder and released white mice

finally banned by the supreme
film censorship board, who deSig-
mated it as prejudicial to German
