called "Pigskin Champions" It was
made by one Of the screens best
known voices and least known (as is
fitting) faces. Both belong to Pete
Smith whose short subjects are among
the most informative and interesting
items Hollywood produces.
"Pigskin Champions" introduces the
Green Bay Packers to the screen. The
title OF the picture may be slightly
tainted as result of the College All
Stars inconsiderate victory in Chicago,
but 1t Is just the picture for every
foot ball enthusiast. Once upon q
month ago, this department had a
private showing of the film In Holly
wood. AS a revelation of the pre-
cision, dexterity. skill and terrible
power of the big, bad boys who take
money for playing foot ball, the thing

such vigorous exercise for the girls
in the box Office.
Miss Durbin, who is now virtually
the sole support of Universal Pictures
II reports are true, would seem des-
tined for much higher place in the
box-score of the stars this year. AS
the major asset of the company, Miss
Durbin probably will be realized upon
to the extent Of at least one more
picture this year. If it repeats the
SUCCESS Of her present vehicle, the
lark-like little girl might come close
to being the biggest juvenile attraction.

the doors of Keith's to move in when,
