"A II AKIN GORKTS famous play,
M THE Lower Depths" has
VI been Wrought into a photo
4 play which is poignant, ex-
citing and exceedingly impelling. The
drama of the loss of human dignity"
has been translated to the cinema
ldiom by Director Jean Lenoir with
a knowing skill which makes it one
of the better films the French have
sent us.
The picture Cat the Little Theater
this week. is no pretty little trif1e
designed to cheer you up amidst all
the turmoil, but it has uncovered and
thrown light on wealth of tense
human drama by poking into filthy
of a group of frayed and hopeless
lives.
There are the mean and cringing
landlord Of the place, who beats his
sister-in-law, sighs over the sins OF
the world and cheats thieves out Of
money for stolen goods; the thief. who
finally gets the love he wants and
starts hopefully on a new road the
baron on the downgrade, who takes
the downfall with graceful cynicism;
the old grandpere, who tries to soften
things with his quiet what you be-
lieve is true; the brilliant actor,
burned out with alcohol and madness,
and host Of other types that give
life and meaning to the story.
The threads of their pitiful lives
have been woven into film drama
that is sometimes stark, sometimes
lightened by humor, always human
and appealing, always ringing true.
The mean slum fophouse and the poor.
forgotten individuals who hang onto
the Shreds of existence there could
have been plucked from any number
of our handsomer cities.
The players. or at least most Of
them, probably are unfamiliar, but
all have turned in portrayals that
contribute much toward the films
reality. And you will recognize Louis
Jouvet the priest Of Carnival in
Flanders"), who is splendid as the
synical baron, and Vladimir Sokoloff,
since borrowed by Hollywood for such
things as Cezanne in The Life OF
Emile Zola," who is no less splendid
as the pusillanimous landlord of the
grubby hovel H. M.

rhythm than an orchestra could give
1t was compensated for by the warmth
OF the personal element which only
a voice can give.
Technique Changed.
Mr.. Jaroff, the highly skilled leader
OF the chorus, abandoned to a great
extent this year the over-emphasis on
pianissimo which brought too much
monotony into programs of the past
two seasons. His shadings yesterday
were marked by greater variety and
more progression in their development
with less of the predominance Of
falsetto in the tenor section than
formerly.
The graduations of tonal color from
the astounding basses to the highest
tenors were constantly brought into
play so that, in this respect, yester-
days concert was the finest the Don
Cossack's have given here. The tre-
mendous resonant quality of their
voices reverberated through the hall
from both the ensemble and the solo
OF magnificent proportions.
For other inimitable characteristics,
there was the absolute surety in attack.
the purity of intonation and the splen-
did command of quickly varying
rhythms. Above and beyond these
musical ingredients was the spirit
which the chorus brings to its work,
spirit which is changed to fit into the
mood OF every song. In fact, listening
to the Don Cossack's is like seeing a
panorama Of the old Russian life with
its deep religious feeling, its simple
peasant humor, its hardy soldier ele-
ment and its romancing over some
poetic fancy.
Audience Widens.
The program which Mr.. Jaroff ar
ranged for yesterdays concert was
new in practically all its numbers.
Among the religious group especially
worthy Of notice was the "Responsory
From the Evening Liturgy" the
"Epistle of Patriarch Hermogen," by
Kastalsky, and Rachmaninoff's I'VE
Sing to Thee" The second group con-
tanned besides the Tschaikowsky Fifth
Symphony" Schvedoff's "All Along
the Street the Blizzard Is Sweeping"
and Pashtschenko's "In Dark Forest"
and medley of popular songs of
lighter character arranged by Jaroff.
In conclusion, the Don Cossack's gave
group Of songs on subjects associated
with their soldier life which we're
quite the most spirited offerings of
the afternoon.
When the Don Cossack's first came
to this city their audiences were made
up chiefly of their compatriots and

COULEE TAKES TWO
GAMES FROM EPHRATA

(Too late for last week.
Ephrata came to Coulee last Fri
day, December 10 and lost both
games of a double header.
The Coulee grade boys stared
the fireworks by beating Hartline
grades 10 to 9.
The games with Ephrata were
the best games seen here this year
They should have satisfied tht
most rabid fan.
The second team played brand
of ball that would have done JUS
tice to any first team. They had
speed, fight, determination and
worked like we'll oiled machine.
Coach Walters sent In several first
stringers but thhey could not turn
the tide
In the first half the Coulee boys
held their opponents scoreless and
made 9 points. The final score was
II to 8.
Jurgensen and Aldrich forwards
tied for honors.
The first team were minus the
Craig brothers, but thhey were not
going to let the second team steal
the show. The score at holt time
found the Giants leading 10 to 6.
In the second holt both teams put
up a stubborn defense but the best
Ephrata could do was a basket and
a foul for points while the Giants
were adding to their total. me
final score was 16 to 9.
The lineup: Forwards, AUSTIN
CID; Eggleton ca: Larsen CD;
Guards, Brimble; Adams; SUBJ
Hopkins.
Republic Game
The following night found the
same team line UP against Repub-
lie 100 miles from home.
Republic has won four straight
games including a victory over
Creston.
The Giants were not up to full
strength were beaten but only
after a terrific battle and then they
lost by only a basket. The final
score was 16 to IA.
1t was the closest game Republic
had so far.
Republic may come here later In
the year and then the Giants will
have a chance for revenge.
The lineup was the same as the
night before. Rabbit Eggleton won
scoring honors.
