SOUTH SEA ISLAND IF FORMS SETTING FOR.
 COLISEUM FEATURE

A romance between handsome young aviator, whose airplane is wrecked on a lonely south Sea island, and an untamed native girl, who has never before laid eyes on a white man, forms the story of Her Jungle Love" the new Paramount Technicolor production, which will have it's first local showing Sunday at the Coliseum Theatre.
 Ray Midland and Dorothy Lamour head the cast, making their first appearance together since Jungle Princess" in which they scored so sensationally a season ago.
 "Her Jungle Love marks a con- tinuation of the experiment, which brought such successes in 'Ebb Tide of using Technicolor to bring out all the exotic charm and beauty of a tropical background. But where "Ebb Tide" took place mostly aboard ship, the setting of Her Jungle Love is exclusively a lush South Sea island which affords perfectly adapted material for color photography.
 Tonight, ending at the Coliseum Theatre, is the double bill, "Torchy Blanc in Panama, and Under the Big Top"

JEAN ARTHUR. JAMES STEWART
 IN COMEDY HIT.
You Can't Take If With You" Playing Now at
 Capitol Theatre

An artfully constructed tale which delightfully."- harmonizes superb non- sense, whimsical romance. delft drama and a leavening of sentiment tality, Frank Capra's You Can't Take It With You" had it's first showing last night at the Capitol Theatre.
 The feature tells a heart-warming story of two families whose philoso- phies of life are poles apart. One family, presided over by happy-go- lucky Grandpa Vanderhof, lives merrily and somewhat madly in a sufficient-mto-the-day atmosphere of untroubled fun. The other fam fly, the social-conscious, money grubbing, power-mad Kirbys, are the purest of wealth worshippers.
 The two families clash when the Kirby son and the Vanderhof grand daughter fall in love Tony Kirby not so dollar-bound as his mother, believes his parents are genuine at heart and only synthetic stuffed shirts. He hopes that contact with the Vanderhofs will change their attitude towards his marriage to Alice But the meeting of the two families is marked by an exhibition of typical Vanderhof good humor which winds up with everybody the Kirbys as well as the Wander hofs-in jail on suspicion of anar- chiSmi
 Lionel Barrymore is peerless in the part of Grandpa Vanderhof. Jean Arthur, prettier and livelier than ever, supplies perfect performance as the light-hearted granddaughter Alice, and James Stewart is. unfor- gettable in the role of Tony Kirby Edward Arnold, playing the diff cult part of Kirby, the tycoon, offers a convincing portrayal of this coupon-clipping gentleman who, it transpires in the end, was not so bondhearted after all

The clamorous applause of the High School Boys Glee Club selection, Keep in the Middle of the Road brought an encore by the group. "Giannia Mia" (from 'The Firefly') was admirably sung by the High School Girls Club. The High School Choir closed the program-and cli- maXed it. too-with "Czecho- -Slovak- ian Dance Song, which selection was repeated for the pleasure of the enthusiastic audience.
 Accompaniment for the evening, which was excellent, was provided by Miss Anne Morris, Miss Sylvia Davis, Miss Ann Lois Davis and Miss Shirley Davis, and added greatly to the success of the musicale.

Dartmouth Due For Real Test
 At Yale Bowl

Boston, Oct. 3O.-UP)-Though Harvard's scalp was attached to the collective belt of the Dartmouth In- dians today, the big green was ex- pected to find its match in Yales football eleven when they clash in New Haven, Conn, Saturday.
 Neither Harvard nor Dartmouth could be rated as powerhouse com biaes after Saturdays dull perform ance which saw Dartmouth gain an unspectacular 16 to win over the Crimson. Dartmouth completely throttled Harvard's attack, but ex- cept for Bill Hutchinson's brilliant touchdown gallop from midfleld on Ia play that was supposed to be a punt the Indians showed no fire.
 Yale did 90 west to go down in defeat, 27 to ', but experts had ex- pected the Ellis to take Q hammer ing from the powerful Michigan eleven and today were not unwilling to give them a better than even chance to talk, over its ivy league rivals from northeastern honors. Dartmouth was expected to find strong opposition from Yale's Hovey Seymour who is shaping up as a great offensive back and Burr's sharpsho ooting passes that spelled de- feat to Army. And the Yale line will offer greater barriers to the Dart mouth running attack than the In- dians found in Cambridge.
 If Yale is able to defeat Dart mouth, it will be easy sledding for tn, Ellis through the remainder of the season as Harvard already has shown it can be no match for strategy and power of Coach Ducky Ponds charges by its performance thus far.
 Fast Start
 Turning to otEer New England fronts, Coach Leahy's revised Bos- ton College eleven found little trou- ble in downing St. AnSelm's Hawks 28 to o. The Eagles were so superior that in the first 10 offensive thrusts they had pileG up IA points. From then on, Leahy used his regulars sparingly as he looked forward to | S4AaS hSSA Q SAdoll Wibll hupuI2ls
 Holy Cross left wind-swept field at Worcester with 27 to 2 win chalked up against Colgate. The HC attack was sparked by its biggest and slowest back, Al Klasoskus, who rcmped "A yards for touchdown after intercepting a Colgate pass and otherwise turned in a brilliant performance.
 Brown found itself out-run, out passed and out-kicked in Prince tons Palmer stadium. Princeton drew first blood on its initial play of the game and from then on had a high time trying all its tricks on the Bruins, But the Brown team was not to be deried its own pleasure through scoris $, and at the end had made l2 points to Princetno's 27. Maine suffered its first defeat of the season when a 78-yard jaunt by John J. Malone of Beverly aFrms, f1eet-footed Bates sophomore, raced 78-yards for the lone touchdown to give his teammates a 6 to o victory.
 The Wesleyan aerial attack was too much for Amherst and the Con- necticut eleven went back home with a 19 to 14 victory.
