STATE


Capacity audiences greeted, ap-
plauded and cheered Warner Broth
ers' sensational melodrama BLACK
Legion" which began q three day
engagement at the State theater
yesterday.
Recently, In Michigan, q band Of
masked and hooded men took the
law In their own hands and killed
their chosen enemies without semb-
lance Of justice or mercy.
Newspaper accounts Of its activi-
ties shocked the law-abiding elem
ments Of the entire country.
On the mere rumor that a man
had beaten his wife, the man was
killed. That. the rumor was without
the least foundation made this law
less execution the more horrible.
In anothe case, some Of the men,
bers-according TO the confession of
the slspect-deliberately shot q COL
ored citizen because they wanted Ito
see how 1t felt to kill a Negro"
Investigation clearly showed that
the Black Legion was founded on
the prejudices, race-hatred and big
otry Of half-baked mentalities, herd
ed together by glib organizers, who
were making fortunes out Of the
sale Of hooded gowns and firearms.
The story Of the organization as
1t is filmed. in Black Legion" is the
more dramatic 1or being based on
fact. The havoc wrought in the
families Of its victims, as we'll as in
the families Of its members Is stark
melodrama.
Headlining the splendid cast in
this magnificent dramatic produc-
ton is Humphrey Bogart, who was
outstanding in 1.-THE Petrified For
est. Others who contribute admir-
able performances are Dick Foran,
Erin OBrien Moore, Helen Flint,
Ann Sheridan and Joseph Sawyer.
The companion feature Is "Rac-
ing Lady, Damon Munyon's thrill
ing story of the race track and the
sport Of kings. Ann Dvorak, Smith
Ballew and Harry Carey have the
leading roles.
Wednesday brings Fred MacMur-
ray and Gladys Swarthout in
Champagne Waltz, also Love Let
tiers of a Star" with Henry Hunter
and Polly Rowles. Attend the mat
inees and avoid the evening crowds.

much. Avoid standing in line by
following our suggestion!

HOLLYWOOD

Hollywood-Not so long ago, the
movies didn't in the least mind be-
ing called "the infant industry
But recently, and gradually, there
have come STRINGS Of conscious
ness Of tradition.
These things are not manifest in
impressive forms, yet they prove
that Hollywood is beginning to
realize that it has history worth
recording. Even the footprints OF
the screen great in the forecourt

cant. So Is the statue of Rudolph
Valentino in a local park. So are

amples Of the infant industry's
awakening pride.
Up to this time, Of course, the
movies have no literature worth
mentioning. Books about Holly

school? The ayes have it over the nays
at a score of rs to 70 with supple
menting count of 10 who favor gum
chewing in school part-time. However,
SO long as the faculty takes the stand
which it does. the ayes will remain IN
miserable minority. Perhaps some
compromise can be effected. This one
has been suggested.
That school be run from loo to 400
in the afternoon and that the extra
period be used for class in gum
chewology, which class would be COM
pulsory to all students and teachers.
If the students became proficient
enough, gun-orchestra might even be
arranged. That of course, would add a
great deal to the attractiveness OF the
class 4Gum- stretchers" spread all over
the room lose their effectiveness, but
were they all grouped in one corner,
with the gallopers right next, and the
face contortionists following and then
the aristocratic soothing pedagog artists
in the opposite corner, the effect would
be quite pleasing. Of course, the deep,
quiet, impressive background would
have to be furnished by the ceiling

Opinions from Here and There.

Question: Should each organization
in high school be responsible for one
assembly program during the year?
Background: This question was
asked several students by Mr.. Hayes
following the activity dinner.
Gloria Mortenson: Yes, it would be
more interesting and it wouldn't leave
it up to one activity to give the pro-
grams for the year. Every organization
has different ideas and abilities. II
would bring out the talents Of different
people who otherwise do not appear on
programs.
Don Switzer: Yes, they should all
give stunt. Most of the kids in this
school do not use their own original
ideas. 1t would be better for them tc
promote their own ideas instead of q
teachers.
Joyce Kammeyer Yes, it's only fair
Some organizations do too much, other.
not enough.
Edna Noel: Yes, other schools do i
and find it very satisfactory. Divide
the work and fun up among all of thu
organizations instead of leaving it Il
the Peptomists.
