That there is no law making a

That Avery Brundage escaped

And he did swell job, punting the
ball down the field for an average
of 30 yards a crack His accurate
kicking kept the Brawley team back

entire second quarter and paved
the way for the first Holtville
touchdown.
On the opening kickoff Holtville
ran the ball to their own 80 but

the Brawley line had smashed
through to block and recover a
punt on the Viking nine yard stripe.
The Holtville fans sighed resign

its sixth defeat. The Viking players
themselves, however, refused to quit.
They smashed forward with zip

plays Brawley lost ten yards. Two
more passes fell incomplete and the
first Wildcas drive had been stopped.

Post-Press Sports Editor

An overdue Holtville high school
grid team outfought and outscored
Brawley high schools Wildcats
Wednesday night in a game that
had fans on their feet cheering for
the game Viking team throughout
the contest.
To single out one man as the
star of the Holtville team would be
as difficult as trying to decide the
winner Of the Rose Bowl game, be-
fore We are sure which teams will
plav in the New Years day classic.
FIRST you would spot Derrick
crashing through the line to smear
Brawley back when the Wildcats
began to penetrate the Viking ter
ritory. You would just about make
up your mind he was the best
player on the field when Earl
Walker would loft one of his per-
feet passes in the direction Of the
receiver. Then CASTOR would
pierce the Brawley line for a size
able gain.
Perhaps Layman could be rated
as the real hero of the game for
1t was he who overlook Fowler
on the Holtville four yard line
after the Brawley half back had
travelled SIS yards through the en-
tire Viking team.
The way the Holtville line snap
ped off three Brawley scoring
threats inside their own 10 yard
line, however. would rate the Vik-
ing line the best in the league.
Had Holtville played the same
brand of ball all season that they
demonstrated Wednesday night, the
Vikings would have been in the
thick of the pennant race.

This latest endeavor of Mr..

haps the dialogue itself is at fault.
Now for the favorable remarks.

the son, is most acceptable. Team
ing with Mr.. GLAND in Chinese
roles should prove a profitable
and successful venture, as they
work well together. Helen Wood is
an attractive young woman who
adds the necessary love interest.
Alan Dinehart, who seems to be
appearing as the Suave and dis
arming crook in a good many pic

performance, hanging on tc his

down to the final fade-out, when
Mr.. Chan all but puts the hand

acterizations, superbly done, are
limned in sharp and vivid outline
against the sweep Of this ire
mendous background.
Warner Baxter, as the suffer
ing but brilliant captain, a man
of iron beloved by his men;
Fredric March, as the young
lieutenant, of finer but softer
mold than the captain, but his
equal in logged courage, and
Lionel Barrymore, the old man
who wanted to fight beside his
son, contribute roles as convinc-
ing and as fine as any film could
offer.
THE Road to Glory" can be I'M
heSitatingly commended as a
gripping and thrilling narrative.
Elida Dancers on Stage
On the stage the Elida Dancers
appear in two unusual routines.
One, Invitation to Dance" is
reminiscent of Colonial times and
is as rich and colorful as fine old
cameo. The other, BLACK Magic, -
is a novelty number that proves
vastly intriguing.
Florence and Alvarez appear in
two routines, the first a thrilling
and colorful number done in waltz
fashion and the other done in the
stately steps of olden days. This
latter number is done with the
Elida Dancers.
A. Duval and Company, present
ing a clever magician, pleases us
with a master of palming. His
tricks are mystifying and done
with smooth and maSterful pre-
cision.
Stuart and Mart mix a little
singing and great deal of comedy
in a fast act that rocks the au-
dience with laughter.
Red Donohue and U-No, a COM
pany consisting of two men and a
mule, is a novelty that is very
amusing. The mule in this act,
am ready to wager, is the best
trained mule that ever appeared
on any stage. The comedy in the
act grows riotouS at times and is
commended to those who like their
SlapStick fast and furious.
The usual news reel rounds out
an exceptionally well-balanced pro-
gram. j. w. B.

ArIiss Movie
At BeIosco

Once a good picture always q
good picture, might be the slogan
currently at the Belasco, for they
are showing the House Of Roths'
child" starring George Arliss as
the feature attraction for this
week.
This is the story of the famous
family of bankers who held the
fate of nations in their hands and
whose dominating spirit was a
stern-visaged old lady who held the
check reins in her aged hands until
death deprived her of that right.
This family of sons was Joined
tightly by bond of suffering, per-
secution and race hatred; they
withstood it all and became a
united figure of great world power;
their means of knowing the secrets
of great nations and their methods
of communication were a puzzle
to all who envied and marveled at
their sound success.
There is a love theme to soften
the tenseneSS of the grim features
of the story and some very beauti-
full scenes in which Loretta Young
is the central figure.
After much misunderstanding
and a display of shrewd contempt
on the part of the senior member
of the firm, there is recognition by
the government, decorations and a
proper place in social affairs OF
this great family.
There is drama, action, excite
ment, suspense, tragedy and a few
smiles in this production which
boasts a colorful finale.
Supporting the star who turns
in a superlative performance, we
have Loretta Young, Boris Karloff,
Helen Wesley and Robert Young
playing roles which they handle
wisely and well.
Short features augmenting the
main attraction include a color
film, "Old Faithful Speaks; a
comedy and the customary news
reel depicting the current events
of the day. K. Y.

Adverse Seen
At the Met

When the Brothers Warner an
nounced they had purchased the
monstrous and lengthy Anthony
Adverse" many scoffed at the
news that it was to be released
as a feature picture. It seemed
utterly impossible to cut down
the tremendous 1,20O-page Hervey
Allen thriller and retain the gusty
tale of one mans life and his
problems with himself and his
fellow men. When the studios
ceased working and the picture
was released to an expectant pub
lie no less an authority than
Allen himself okayed the result.
That it has been cut in many
places will be only too evident to
all who have read or are still
reading the book. But that is only
natural. In picking Fredric March
to star in the title role a wise
choice was made. This is an actor
proof role and March, who daily
is showing marked improvement
in his acting, manages to acquit
himself in an effective manner. A
long supporting list of players are
due to come in for their share
of honest praise. Particularly
splendid was a new recruit from
the legitimate stage, Miss Gale
Sondergaard, whose enacting the
part of Faith Bonnyfeather's
wicked housekeeper, was one of
the most convincing female
"heavieS" seen to date.
The film is long, for following
the career of Adverse we switch
from France to the Swiss Alps,
to Leghorn, to Cuba, to Africa.
back to France and finally when
we leave our bold hero he is set
ting out for America with his
young son. The picture never
tires, but here and there repetition
of situations and too many minor
climaxes have a tendency to be-
wilder one. Costume dramas are
hard to make convincing, mas
much as to visualize oneself in
like costumings and manners is
often too much.
Olivia de Havilland, Edmund
Gwenn, Anita Louise, Donald
Woods, Claude Rains, Billy Mauch,
Steffi Duna, all these and the
many, many more fill the screen
and make of the best seller a
screen entertainment of the better
sort. The remaining attraction is
a Paramount neWsreel full of cur
rent interests. D. M.
