Adult Education Forums For
EI Centro Considered

Possibilities of an adult education
forum for El Centre were discussed
at recent meeting in San Diego
at ScrippS cottage, San Diego State
Teachers college, attended by San
Diego and Imperial Valley resi-
dents.
These adult education forums are
a part Of the program sponsored
by Dr. Walter E. Dexter state su.
perintendent Of public instruction
and DR.. Studebaker, u. S. commits
sioner of education whose outstand-
ing success with an adult education
program in Des Moines, Iowa, led,
in part, TO his appointment as U. S.
commissioner.
An attempt is being made to in
augurate this program in California
and the merits of such a program
and methods of starting and fin
encing forums in various commun-
tiles were outlined by DR.. Verne
Landreth. Imperial and San Diego
counties form one unit. The forums
may be sponsored by various agen.
cies, or if enough are interested,
may be taken care of through the
schools as a part Of the adult edu-
cation program. In the latter case
they are financed through the state
department Of education as far as
speakers are concerned. Many state
college faculties are interested in
the program and are giving their
time and talents to furthering it.
In San Diego county a program
has been inaugurated at SWeetWate"

 CLASH IN BIG HIT
You Can't Cheat an Hon esi Man" Playing at
 Capitol Theatre

l Hilarious comedy sequences delft, ly woven into a powerful story stamp UnivarSal's You Can't Cheat An Honest Man" as good offering,
 Heading the cast of the picture, which opened yesterday at the Capi- -cl Theatre, are w. O. Fields, Edgar Bergen and Charlie Mccarthy. They are rated as Hollywoods top comedy 1 combination.
 Highlighting the film, as one might suspect, is the bitter feud be- tween Fields and his wooden neme- sis, Mccarthy Their battle reaches new heights of potency and comedy in this feature.
 One will laugh when Charlie pops up with a black eye, instigated by Fields, and has to do one of his acts in blackface so the discolored orb won't be noticed.
 The attractive Constance Moore, playing her first major role, gives brilliant performance. Mortimer Snerd is back again too
 A brand new face seen on the screen for the first time is that of Princess Baba. Another new conner is Blacaman. Hindu ani- nal hypnotist, who performs some amazing feats with lions and croco- diles.
 Mary Forbes and Thurston Hall are cast as James Bush's parents. John Arledge gives an excellent ac- count of himself as Fields son. Charles Coleman in one of his never to-be-forgotten butler roles. Edward Brophy, Arthur Hohl and Eddie An derson are good as union represen- tative bill collector and Fields col cred helper respectively.

 The most effective weapon against air raids could not get into effect at all.

That would compel some of the raiders to get back home promptly to protect the fatherland Further, the English raiders have an advantage. They don't have to get home. They can land in France.

Basketball Players Must Sign Register at W-
 fiee of Empire

Juneau's basketball season has rolled around again.
 President of the League, Jack Fowler, announced today that sign ing up of players begins immedi- ately and practice sessions will get under way tomorrow night in the High School gymnasium.
 All players who plan to take part in the City League play this year are to sign a register at The Daily Alaska Empire office, be- ginning tomorrow. The register closes November 4, and all players, new or of previous experience here must sign.
 The register does not bind any player to any team, but facili- tates balancing of team power through managers, conferences.

 Four teams are in the league so far for this year, Henning's Cloth iers. Elks, Krause Concreters and Juneau Fire Club. Any. other or ganization wishing to enter a team should contact President Fowler.

name of Mary Rose in the Graus- tarkian romance, The Balkan Prin- cess" and wrote her father that if he made fuss, she not only would play under her town name but would bill herself as the daughter of the great William A. Brady" A few weeks later the play reached Broadway and she did play under her own name, but without the reference to her percentage.
 In Gilbert and Sullivan
 Excited by the Broadway debut, Miss Brady was depressed by the quick failure of the play. But she immediately sprung up again to sing leads in The Mikado," Pirates of Penzance" and other Gilbert and Sullivan operas, In 1912 this dark haired, bright-eyed actress won her first lasting success as Meg in Lit tie Women" and this took her into silent pictures where she quickly became star in such films as Bought and Paid For" and "The Gilded Cage" (She was the bird in the latter)
 In 1918 she returned to the stage in her most successful part, that of Jennie in Forever After" It ran for two solid years.
 Back to Hollywood
 Hollywood producers sought her again in 1881 when she scored a resounding success as Lavinia Han non in Eugene ONeills trilogy, Mourning Becomes Electra" This highly emotional role set Miss Brady on the high road again, for it was entirely different from the fluttery comedy parts in which she had won early fame.
 So back to the movies she went this time in talking pictures, and played both her customary comedy parts as well as serious tragic roles Even this new success was attended by such i'll luck as when she was making Goodbye to Broadway" in 1938 and broke her ankle in the midst of the shooting. It was neces- sary to rewrite some of the final scenes so they could be filmed with her sitting in a chair.
 The return to pictures was cli- maxed in 1888 when she won the Motion Picture Academy award for her heart-warming performance as Mrs. OLeary in Tn Old Chicago J This was one of her favorite parts but it was given to her only after some trepidation, for the producers feared that audiences were so ac- customed to see her in comedy parts that they would start to laugh the minute she appeared on the screen. Instead audiences wept at her portrayal of the woman whose kicking COW supposedly started the great Chicago fire.
 Not Downed by "Flops" Miss Brady's mishaps included a nervous breakdown in 1930 which kept her out of O'Neill's nine-act hit. Strange Inteslude.v She had
