"Lucrezio Boreio" at BeIosco

The making Of a United italy
is perhaps one Of the most
dramatic pages of history. In
"Lucrezia Borgia," at the Be
lasco Theater, the complete
story is told brilliantly and
effectively for the first time in
the history of the movies.
The entire period Of the Rem
Nuisance. the awakening Of q
new Italy and the building Of a
powerful State are dramatically
portrayed.
M a h iavellia, perhaps the
greatest statesman of all times,
and the adviser to the Borgia
family, is triumphantly por-
trayed by Giuseppe Clariond.
The methods that Machiavellia
used in uniting the warning prov.
inces of ancient Italy into one
Roman state are one of the
high spots Of the picture.
Cesar Borgia, the man who
tried to make Borgias, the
head Of the Italian state, is
shown in all his br1lliance and
power. His aesthetic brother,
the Duke Of Candle, and his in
terest in the arts and sciences,
are graphically screened.
But the outstanding interest
in the picture must be Lucrezia
Borgia. She is shown in her

FULL OF THRILLS
Not only is it sky-high for pro-
duction value but it has dy-
manic personalities in Clark Ga
BILE, Spencer Tracy, and the
aforesaid Miss 10y.
When you analyze the story of
""Test Pilot" you find that the
formula is familiar. What makes
it outstanding, is the brilliant
treatment of conventional Incl
dents, the way in which the dra-
matte moments of the scenario
have been contrived to bring out
every ounce of emotional value.
Clark Gable plays Jim Lane, a
hard-drinking, girl crazy, cour-
ageous, daredevil flier, who loves
the hazards encountered in put
ting planes to the utmost in air
possibility. He is test pilot,
resigned to the knowledge that
some day, "the girl up there" in
the blue sky will slap him down.
Myrna 10y is Ann Preston,
the girl he meets, and quickly
marries, after he is forced down,
near Wichita, in a cross-country
speed flight. Jim is AIMS prince
charming, dropped out of the
skies, and after a lightning court
ship she melts into his arms.
Spencer Tracy is Gables de-
voted mechanic, or grease mon
key" as loyal a pal as man
could ask.
Theirs is a wild honeymoon,
with Gable winning $4,000 in
an air sweepstakes, proceeding
to blow half of it on a nerves
relaxing tear. He does give
$4,000 to the widow of a flier
who was killed in the race, max
ing the real noble gesture.
Ann is pretty dizzy with this
new marital state. She knows
that she is head over in heels
in love with her man, but that
she must share his affections
with "the girl up there"

Earlier Dote Suggested
To Escape Troinine
In Winter Weather
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-Western Con-
ference football coaches and direc-
tors of athletics. in session here to-
day, considered a proposal to conflne
the annual Rose Bowl game to teams
from the Pacific Coast and Big Ten
Conferences.
Where the idea originated, nobody
seemed to know. but it was favor
ably regarded by authorities of both
conferences. If the Faculty Com
mittee of the Western Conference
approves such an arrangement, the
championship team of the Big Ten
annually would be designated to
play the team chosen by the Pacific
Coast Conference. Thus the difi-
culties and jealousies arising from
the present method of choosing the
team to 60 to the Pacific Coast
would in a large manner be elimi-
mated.
Most of the athletic directors were
reported to be favorable to such an
agreement and so are some Of the
faculty members. but it must be ap-
proved by the faculty men at their
meeting tomorrow night.
Noble Kizer. director of athletics
at Purdue University. suggests that
the Rose Bowl game be advanced to
no later than December l so that
the Western Conference team would
not be obliged to continue practice
in possible midwinter weather and
then go to the Coast to play in mid
summer temperatures.
While the subject of the Rose
Bowl game was of paramount i'm
portance, the football coaches had
before them the problem Of arrang-
ing schedules for 1912 Since the
University Of Chicago definitely is
committed to further tightening Of
its competition in the Big Ten. and
other smaller universities which do
not rank as major drawing cards

Tomorrow the coaches of other
sports. notably baseball, track and
basket ball, will get together to
draw up their schedules for the 1889
season.
Fewef lntersectional contests and
more ,games within the conference
make up the 1889 football program
which comes up for ratification. No
less than half of the universities will
ensage in six conference games next
year as compared to only one uni
versity In 1888.
