Just as soon as the contest board

the conditions were clearly set
forth. There can be no exceptions
made in the rule.

A footballer, turned basketball
player.
That's Paul Borden, of Western
High School. And because of his
height, Paul is the center Of the
GeorgetownerS. In football, he
was an end.
Paul played basketball a little
last year, but could not break into
the crack Western lineup which
included Joe Hanley, Joe Brennan
and others.
He took everything in, however,
and this season is capitalizing by
his successful efforts for a West
ern team that's played capable
basketball in the inter-high series.
Paul has been getting his share
of points this year and promises
to be up among the leaders by the
time the season ends. His floor

Madeleine Carroll, as Hope

Pine Returns
ToCoIumbio

Returning this week to the
Columbia Theater for q second
weeks downtown showing is the
Paramount production, Trail of
the Lonesome Pine" This picture
is an all-color affair, the finest
Of its type yet to come out of
Hollywood.
Cast in the leads are Sylvia
Sydney, Fred McMurray, Henry
Fonda and excellent added sup
port furnished by Fred Stone,
Beula Bondi, Robert Barrat,
Fuzzy Knight, Nigel Bruce and
young "Spanky" MacFarland. A
long list, yet every one Of them
letter perfect.
The surrounding features con-
SiSt Of a Hearst News, and other
amusing shorts.
To appreciate the som br e
theme of this backwoods story
it might be well to realize Just
how serious to its people is their
code Of an eye for an eye. When
between two families a feud
exists this law is carried out
until one or both sides are wiped
out. Such a law was known in
Corsica, and such a law persists
in bringing about modern gang
wars. In this tale, Tolliver VS..
Falin had for so long occupied
the center of attraction that the
two rival forces must surely have
forgotten their initial grudge.
Coming fresh onto the scene Is
Jack Hale, young surveyor. He is
attempting to build a railroad
through the woods. How he meets
young June Tolliver and her
family form the plot. Many ex-
citing scenes and many scenes of
truly breathless beauty so towards
the unreeling Of q most entertain
ing picture.
The three principals are thor
oughly convincing in their parts:
however it is Fred Stone and
Beula Bondi as the illiterate fam
lily who leave lasting impression.
Their feeling Of rugged pioneer
spirit does them credit, in particu-
lar the scene where Miss Bondi
sums up her frustrated pathetic
destiny saying humbly to her
daughter 81 was born DID," A
beautiful unforgettable bit.

BEAUTIFUL COLOR
Dancer Collins has some clever
routines that fit logically into
this musical melodrama, which,
with a few more Rodgers and
