uted by the faithful of many coun- tries Throughout western Europe the common people saw in the vast papal power a bulwark against the tyranny of kings.
 Many Lead Reforms
 But the aggrandizement of the Catholic church brought with it special problems, and many popes, among the greatest who have sat on Peters throne, devoted their reigns to reform.
 Thus, from simple beginnings = the apostle Peter and his follow CTS preaching to underground con- gregation = the papacy grew to such splendor, power and opulence, that St. Bernard, addressing Pope Eu- gene III in the 18th century, could write:

BRENT, DAVIS
 PLAY C0MEDY;
 GOLDEN ARROW
Story Behind Fast Automo- piles Told in Speed
 at the Coliseum

Bette Davis, with George Brent playing opposite her in the mascu- line lead comes to the Capitol the atre tonight in the fast moving First National comedy drama, The Gold T Arrow"
 NTisj Davis appears in role quite different from those which won her the award of the Academy of Mo ton Picture Arts and Sciences as the best film actress of 1885. Tn The Golden Arrow she gives a light comedy portrayal with a TO- mantle twist. which involves also some dramatic moments.
 Brent's role is also largely com edy; he being young report CT, whose chief interest is a book he is writing but who finds time to fall in love with the blonde Bette after a series of misunderstanding and flirtations entanglements which nearly break the course of true love.
 The picture is set in the lavish background of luxurious yachts and hotels patronized by milhonaires and the rollicking fun is carried on to the tune of popping champagne corks. Michael Arlen, the famous English dramatist, wrote the play.
 In the cast besides Miss Davis and Brent are included Eugene Pa lette, Dick Foran, Carol Hughes, Catharine Doucet, Craig Reynolds, Ivan Lebedeff, G. P Huntley Jr., Hobart Cavanaugh, Henry O'Neill and Eddie Acuff.
 Speed is the thrilling, breath taking story of that small group of daring men who risk their own lives daily to save lives--the auto mobile test drivers The new pie ture is now at the Coliseum the atre.
 The picture goes behind the scenes of the vast, interesting and intri- cate automobile industry, bringing to the screen for the first time the actual miracles that are being per formed in one of the worlds great est automobile plants.
 It takes the audience to ringside seats at the famed Indianapolis Speedway with it's crashes and it's thrills waged in the campaign to make automobiles safer to mankind and to the noted testing ground of Muroc Lake, where Sir Malcolm Campbell broke the worlds automo- bile speed record and where the audience virtually rides over the course at lightning speed in the seat with the interprid test driver.

 26i Have Governed
 From 67 to 1887, from Peter to Plus XI, 26l popes have governed the Catholic church. The verdict of history is that, while crimes darkened the reigns of few some of the popes ruled brilliant- ly and the vast majority labored prayerfully for the spiritual and earthly well-being of their flocks in all lands.

 Linus was a Tuscan, martyred in 73. Following the recommends tion of St Paul, he ordered that women must cover their heads at prayer. Like the popes who sue ceeded him, he appointed and or dained bishops. priests and dea- cons to coordinate the labors of the Holy See
