They Shall Have Music Ends dt Capitol
 Theatre

Samuel Goldwyn's They Shall Have Music which ends tonight at the Capitol Theatre, is an out I standing motion picture, powerfully enriched by the glorious music of Jascha Heifetz who makes his first screen appearance. In addition, They Shall Have Music presents for the first time the unusually talented California Junior Sym phony Orchestra, an organization of juvenile prodigies, who are un- der the direction of Peter Merem- blum.
 The. story of They Shall Have Music is amatically told, bril- liantly directed and stirringly act ed The cast which is featured in support of Heifetz includes Andrea Leeds, Walter Brennan, Joel Mc- Crea, Gene Reynolds and Tommy Kelly. Brennan appears as the Professor of Music Settlement School for underprivileged musi- cal prodigies, and turns in one of the most moving and sensitive per- formances of his fine career. An drea Leeds and McCrea, as the TO- mantle interest, are uniformly ex- cellent in their roles, and the chil- dren in the cast turn in top DOT trayals, For this. smooth and su- perb direction credit goes to Archie Mayo, who staged the production with pace and effectiveness.
 Briefly sketched, the theme of They Shall Have Music" deals with an impoverished settlement school in the slums, When the school reaches financial ruin one of the pupils, played by Gene Rey- holds, decides on a dramatic coup he tries to lure the great Hei- fetz to the school and to persuade the master musician to lend his patronage. Heifetz plays several of the worlds greatest masterpieces during the course of the film, and he also accompanies the young or chestra.

 If floral perfume doesn't seem quite enough for evening, the so- phisticates say try the light ori- entals.
 A French Tip
 A hint from the French: Per- fume the underside of the hem of your evening skirt so that the swish of the dress waits frag- rance. Some smart women are spraying their flower hats with perfume, even in daytime. For a warm weather pickup wrap an ice cube in cleansing tis- sue and sprinkle a few drops of flower -perfumed cologne on it. Then apply the icy fragrance to your brow and temple.

Here's test you might use when buying perfume: Late in the day put different scent on each wrist and elbow. Then, pick the one that pleases you when you get up next morning. It's a wise plan not only because it checks on the lasting quality but also be- cause perfumes react differently on individual skins.
 How you wear your perfume is another thing to consider. Lots of women use it on their skin Some trace. the hairline with perfume or cologne because the warmth of the hair and skin bring out the full scent.

 Before you choose your sum- mer perfume, it's well to realize that perfumes made with natural flower oils have more lasting fragrances.

Central field against strong Phoe-
nix J. c. grid squad. Kickoff time
is 7:45.
The Junior collegians defeated
the Arizonans twice last season,
thereby establishing new record

Glen Poole, Howard Dickerson,
Walter Price and Stacey Morgan
will start in the backfield for the
Arabs tonight with Sareeran, Ingle,

ball packing spot, moved from the
Holtville q to the Central 16 where
Oswalt intercepted a pass to end
the threat.
Patterson punted to the Holtville

on the move. Otis made seven yards,

to the Spartan II. There the Ell

was wide with field goal attempt.
HOltville Drives
Ell Centre punted out again, this
time to the Holtville 81 and once
more the Viking charged deep into
Central territory. Maynard picked
up four, added nine and Otis scam
pered to the Central IA. Three plays
failed to gain and Zumstein made
another field goal attempt. It was
wide.
Holtville started its final threat
in the third quarter when Aldaco

playing for keeps at that point
and stopped the Viking running

Stanford Has
| Jinx TO Defeat
In W.S.C. Game
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 18.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 18. (UP)
Many folks who have been turn
ing up their noses at that link
of Palouse" business are going to
become believers of Washington
State licks Stanford at Pullman,
Wash, in the Pacific coasts top
football game tomorrow.
The LINK of Palouse', in case you
haven't run across him before, is
supposed to assist Washington State
in winning it's home football games.
1t might be the weather, it might
be the field, or it might be the
home town encouragement the Cou-
gars, usually on the road, get in
the Pullman stadium, but the rec
ord does show Babe Hollingsbery's
boys pull off most of their big
surprises on their home grounds.
Stanford, sailing along sweetly
with the coasts only major unbeat-
en-untied record, knows something
about the jinX. For Stanford team
which should have won dropped a
14-13 ball game at Pullman a few
years back.
With Washington State and STAN
ford rated on virtual even terms
for tomorrow's clash, little thing
like the historic jinx might be
enough to tip the scales in favor
of Washington State and produce
a new dark horse threat for the
1910 conference title.
Tomorrow's program offers the
first f'all 1out' conference round
robin program with the eight teams
engaged in four conference games.
That between Stanford and the
Cougars appears to be the most
interesting, but there's just as much
depending on the clash at Seattle
between University of Washington
and Oregon State, title contenders.
The other conference games are
being played on California soil, with
UCLA, beaten by three outside
teams, opening it's campaign against
California at Berkeley and with
tWice-beaten Oregon being led
again to almost certain defeat
against use at Los Angeles. UCLA
rates over California.

NEW YORK, Oct 18. CUP)-1t
has been my lot to see Max Baer in
many of his tragic moments.
1 saw Jim Braddock take his
worlds heavyweight championship.
l was there when Joe Louis cut
him down to bits and made him
take the count on one knee. 1
watched Lou Nova knife him to
ribbons with rights and lefts.
But last night, in the quiet OF a
suite high in the New Yorker ho-
tel, l saw Max Baer plumb the
depths of misery, Wallow in the
sands of despair, and all but cry
aloud for help.
He was faced with nothing more
formidable than $50 pages OF type
written script-the $50 pages OF
words he will have TO memorize
before his Broadway Show "H'ya
Gentlemen" can go into produc-
ton. But it had him on the canvas.
Those $50 pages had him in worse
shape than any opponent he ever
faced in the ring.

Max moaned, "it took me six months
TO memorize the Village Blacksmith.
And that was a short little thing
"a six rounder. But this thing is
20-rounder and I'm telling you
I amt sure / can last the distance. p"
Keep punching, kid" couraged
Max's manager, Ancil Hoffman.
That script can't hurt us. We're
a cinch."
Baer is probably the only actor"
in many g year TO get his guaran-

lines. The Barrymores. the Tracys,
the Nugents, the DoWlings, and the
Jessels, gamble on a show being a
hit. But not Make. He insisted on
his dough being in the bank be-
fore he started wrestling with the
first line of his script.

man explained. I'VE didn't come all
the way from California for noth-
ing. Max1l get his and I'll get
mine even if the show doesn't last

From what Make and Hoffman
told me of the play. it is likely to

Pushed all over the field in the
first half of play by a heavier Holt
vile squad, Ell Centre came roaring
back in the third and fourth periods
to earn two touchdowns and score
a third on a fourth quarter "break"
Ell Centros victory came as a
surprise to most spectators Thurs
day night because the Holtville
vikings had taken complete COM
mand in the first half of play and
outgained the Spartans 2-1 in yard
age.
But the fans reckoned without
the brilliant running of James Nor

curate passing arm of Gene Os-
walt. The work of the Spartan
backs. coordinated with an Ell Gen.
tro line that outcharged its heavier
opposition, brought about sustained
drives of 81 and A yards to
touchdowns in the fourth period.
Vikings Fumble
The third Ell Centre score came
as a result of Holtville tumble
which was recovered on the Viking
six yard line. Bill Patterson scored
all of Centrals touchdownS and
Fred Robertson added the single
extra point.

Spinner Skinner is a bookmaker,

at Groton under the stimulus OF
Spinner Skinner, and soon the
headmaster, dean, and all the fac

bets on good things at Belmont,

From there the action gets faster

Switching the conversation from
acting to fighting 1 learned that
Baer plans on fighting Joe Louis
in May or June of next year.
"I read all the time that I'm
afraid of Louis" Max said. But
that isn't right. He beat me the
first time, sure. but my right was
so bad I couldn't throw a punch
with it. And Schmeling beat the
hell out of Louis the first time they
met, didn't he? Beat him worse
than Joe did me. But Louis came
out the second time and nearly
killed the German. Why can't / fix
up Joe the next time? Remember
this-I have fought lot of fights
