George ArliSs, unexcelled in the
art of skillful acting, always
brings to the stage or the screen
a memorable portrayal. Latest of
his film offerings is a British
Gaumont production, East Meets
West" which is current at the
Metropolitan theater.
This story is one replete with
diplomatic situation, with subtle
implications, a romantic picture
of a strategic spot on this earth
where the East meets the West,
and the territory is therefore
most valuable to great nations
of the world. The Sultan of said
principally George ArlisS) is in
terested in securing the greatest
advantages for his people, and in
such a role, this incompatible
actor shines.
The plot hinges upon i'm

tween the Rajah of Rungay and
the British and the Eastern ma
tions. BY his clever wiles, he en-
lists the cooperation of each and

1.-THE Big Broadcast of 1887" is
really big! Imagine a musical on
stage or screen which boasts the
talents of Leopold Stokowski and
the swing band Of Benny Good
man. Paramount did a brave and
noble thing when they placed the
great maestro of the Philharmonic
in a musical show predominantly
comic, for the beautiful sequence
in which the magic hands of Sto-
kowski direct a full symphony or
cheStra is a highlight in an alto
gether entertaining production.
There is a slim little story of a
young and talented commentator
from the small town brought to
the big city because she had
habit of heckling one Frank Ross
man, radio star; when the radio
manager found that the girl was
really worth training for the top
spot, he found that she had lost
her heart to one of the agents
about the place and there was
pretty much of a mess all around
until the far-reaching microphone
presented a means of bringing the
two together again.

Hull Bringing
New Poe PIoY

The National Theater will for
the first time in years have an
Arthur Hopkins premiere. Mon
day, October 26, is the date, and
the attraction is Henry Hull in
"PlumeS in the Dust a play by
Sophie Treadwell. During the
weeks engagement usual matinees
will be given on Wednesday and
Saturday.
This new drama is announced
as having Edgar Allan Poe for
it's central figure. That alone
should focus interest with our
most famous American author,
always the center of controversies.
A Diverse Story
AS Hervey Allen wrote in the
preface to his own brilliant work,
"Israfel":: 80 diverse, so con-
flicting, and so astoundingly con-
fusing were the life experiences
of Edgar Allan Poe that, in
comparison, the lives of most
men of letters are a simple tale"
Miss Treadwell, established as a
dramatist of Importance by her
various works, notably "MachinaP
of international fame, devoted
years of research in preparation
for this play and naturally she has
been extra careful to make sure
that all material was authentic.
Months of Study
Producer and star have devoted
similar arduous attention to their
important tasks. Mr.. Hopkins en-
gagged Mr.. Hull last year for this
part while Mr.. Hull was still play
ing in Tobacco Road" and inter
vening months have been spent in
intensive study. Mr.. Hull. after
years of successful engagements
which, besides Tobacco Road, d
included Grand Hotel" THE
Cat and the Canary" Michael
and Mary" 1.-THE Ivory Door,
Lulu Belle" etc., regards this as
the great opportunity of his
career.
All of which should conspire to
make playgoers turn out in large
numbers for the engagement IN
the National Theater.

Senior Glass News

This year the Senior class has been
thinking about eliminating the type
class mite which our high school has
formerly had and instead make 1t a
mite just for the members of the
class and their teachers. During
commencement week the Seniors are
very busy, not only thinking of COM
mencement exercises but also eXami-
nations and many other details. In
order to have a good class mite exer-
cises much time must be given to
the preparation. Therefore, If the
class has party to which only the
members of the class and teachers
are invited, all this preparation
would not be necessary, and yet the
class could be together and enjoy
one of the last evenings in which
they will be together. This has not
been decided upon yet, but later the
class will vote upon it to decide
what they are going to do about it..
