Pushkin.I Inspired
French. Film
At the Hippodrome

in sIiIsa piI9UE E, DAME" Fedor ozep Picture;
FFenc6 Fia %tS By Christian stens. in
TotL TTre,nLiah Pierre Blanchar
Le Dame de Pique nnas Moreno IosIso
The The Banker Madeline SasIsy SSssrIay
The hero of "Pique Dame" at
the Hlppodrome, is an intense young
man who becomes so ohSesSed with
a legend about a card game that he
frightenS an elderly countess to
death, breaks an innocuouS young
girls heart, involves himself in a
duel, loses all his money and takes
leave of his memory. The motion
picture in which these adventures
take place is described as inspired
by the novel of Alexander Pushkin,
but whether Mr.. Pushkin invented
these affairs is something you will
have to learn from a more dilligent
student of his works. 1t seems likely
enough that he did inspire them,
however. for there is distinctly
gloomy Russian air about the film,
even if 1t is French-made.
There are, to be sure, several items
which Mr.. Pushkin might like to
deny, if he could be given an oppor-
tunity. 1t is highly doubtful, for in
stance, If any Russian writer (the
Russians being noted gamblers)
would try to palm off system" in
which the three, seven and ace of
clubs would win consecutively in a
card game which must have been
known as Dealer S Delight" in,which
the banker has odds that make
those of blackjack look puny. It
also is doubtful if any Russian
writer tthe Russians being noted
realiSts) would try to palm off the
ending of story that the producers
of the picture have used, wherein the
obseSsed young man wins back both
his memory and the love of the girl
he has betrayed.
. AS long as your name is not Alex
ander Pushkin and you do not try
to reap fortune using the system"
shown, however, there is no reason
for you to quibble over these details.
"Pique Dame" is quite a well-nade
film, frightened by the fact that its
brooding Russian drama is spiced
iClC hi4u tilCiC Wy GyplCdl 1dl1lC
wit. Come to think of it, the happy
ending probably was an idea of the
French, who just couldn't bear to
see fate so inexorably firm, even
with a man who brought all his
troubles on himself.
The picture is capably acted by an
all-French cast, some of whom are
we'll known to addicts of the foreign
cinema. Among them are Margue-
rite Moreno, who contributes a
splendid portrait of the old countess,
who comes to no happy end merely
because a young Russian officer
overhears legend of the secret she
knows about winning that card
game, and Pierre Blanchar. Mr..
Blanchar, with his pompadour
combed in reverse so that he re-
sembles Napoleon Bonaparte, man
ages such degree of wild-eyed in
tensity that you will easily see how
he might frighten to death a woman
with even stouter heart than that
of the aged countess. H. M.

WILLOW RUN, Mich, Jan. TO-
A detailed picture of the Kaiser
Frazer Corps entry into the auto
mobile market-the Kaiser, named
for Henry j. Kaiser-was made pub
lie by the company here today.
Mr.. Kaiser, chairman of the new
corporation and well-known West
Coast industrialist, announced that
his new car will be a six-passenger
job with a highly streamlined body.
Other features of the car were de-
scribed in a company statement as
follows:
81. 1t will be the first American
car in the low-priced field to have
front wheel drive. The 6-cylinder,
85-horsepower engine, together with
the clutch, transmission and final
drive assembly, form single pack
aged power unit forward in a man
ner which makes it possible for the
engine, transmission and differential
to be lifted clear for easy service.
Engine Forward of Axle.
"2. Unlike other types of 'front.'
wheel drive made in this country,
the Kaiser engine is placed forward
of the front driving axle, thus main
tanning a more constant center of
gravity and resulting in better trac-
ton: on hills and under all driving
conditions.
"3. The Kaiser is the first mass
production passenger car in Amer
lea to have independent 'torsionetic
suspension on all four wheels.
Twisting action of heat-treated steel
bars gives new smoothness of ride
at all passenger loads. Hydraulic
shock absorbers complete this as
sembly.
a. Body land chassis form a sin
gle unit of the type known as
'monocoque' construction, eliminate
ing strain, shifting between body
and frame, and body squeaks." :
The Kaiser car will be, shown to
the public at premiere showings this
month in the Waldorf Astoria Ho-
tel, New York At the same time

| HOLLYWOOD.
Make-believers at works Cary
Grant enjoyed the novel experience
of standing on the fringe of movie
4 set and watching another star give
him a verbal shellacking for a film
that will be released several months
hence.
The picture is without Reserva-
t1ons," co-starring Claudette Col
bert and John Wayne and, accord
ing to the action we witnessed on the
RKO sound stage yesterday, it could
prove one of the liveliest Hollywood
lcaricatures filmed since Merton of
1.-THE Movies"
The setting is a modern railroad
club car, with men and women
lounging around on a trip from
Chicago to Los Angeles. A white
uniformed porter hands Miss Col
bert a glass of orange juice. Mr..
Wayne, in the adjoining chair, gets
highban glass with cold tea and
Ice cubes. That would pass for
Bourbon.
The train is speeding past a
wooded landscape, but actually it is
standing still right on the big stage.
The countryside is whisking in the
opposite direction, giving the illu-
sion any traveller has seen as an
other train starts beside his own.
The scenery flowing past had one
time been filmed from a train and
is now projected on a process screen.
Outside the cutaway club car are
fantastic wheel-like 2contraptions
which sweep trees and telegraph
poles around sun arc lamp, thus
fitting shadows through the car
windows.
While grips and carpenters scurry
to get this complex machinery syn
chronized as to speed, Miss Colbert
and Wayne sit with their glasses
poised, awaiting Director Mervyn
LIE Roy's signal to start the scene.

Before he can give the word, how
ever, the director notes tall, hand

It is Cary Grant, visiting from the

he figures in the plot and dialogue
Of this film and he wants to have a
look and listen to himself. LIE Roy
greets Grant with a wide grin.

and then calls faction"
Extras sitting around the princi-
pals in the club ear begin their
pantomime. Wayne, pointing to a
gayly jacketed novel on the seat
next to Claudette, remarks: THAT
book sure gets around. And why,
don't see. The hero is dope who
gets chased for 400 pages by Lana
Turner, and doesn't give her a tum-

Claudette shows signs of annoy
ance. Wayne doesn't know it but
she's the author of that best seller.

ltor Robert A. Taft, Republican
who may become the majority lead
er in the Senate in the next Con
g7ess, a five-point legislative pro,
gram that he believes a large seq

enacted.
First and foremost" Mr.. How
ard advocated, "a change in the
rules Of the Senate so that there
will not be the comedy Of un.
limited debate and sn that a hin
when introduced shall seasOnably
be voted upon"
The other legislation he pro-
posed included enactment Of a fair
employment practice, an anti-poll
tax and an anti-lynching law.
He also called for enactment Of
a federal aid to education bill with
guarantees Of a fair and equitable
Of funds in States
which maintain separate schools
for the races, with the hope and
that the school faeili-
ties for colored people in the South
may be definitely improved"
Mr.. Howard wrote Senator Taft
that he need not remind him that

lation has shifted TO the Republican
party and that colored Republican

Of the highest enthusiastically rated
Negro colleges in the country. An
English major Of the school this
year won the first national prize

contest in competition with 100000

Minnesota Products Play Vital Role
For the first time in the past
FIVE years, Municipal is represent
ed on the football field, and there
is where Minnesota is playing her
vital role. Last spring the school
decided TO incorporate in its sched-
ule a health and physical educa-
ton program and to resume inter
collegiate athletics which had been
abandoned during the war. An
athletic committee was formed, a
community drive for funds was
launched, and a search was started
for a coach. On this committee was
Prof. Howard r. Barksdale Of st.
Paul, who as head Of the depart
ment Of English and appointed this
year as Dean Of Men, Is serving his
fourth year at Municipal.
Prof. Barksdale contacted fell
low St. Paulite, Dwight Reed,
former Minnesota great, and sold"
him on coming to Louisville. DR..
Bertram W. Doyle, Dean Of the
college, paid a hurried visit to
st. Paul last August and, upon
Barksdale recommendation, clinch-
ed the deal with Reed who reported
for duty last September.

put the fight on evener terms.
Add to your list of fair and

State, which rejected Miamis pro-
posal to play them without their
sepia stars. Credit for Penn States
move should go 70 their Dean of
Physical education, Carl P. Schott,

Fresh from this damper on their

The Halle Q. Brown All-Stars
were little too much for the Phyl-
lis Wheatley team in their annual
game played last Sunday at High
land Park, st. Paul.
After taking the opening kick
off, the All-Stars marched down
the field and scored before the
GENE was ten minutes old. Their
point after touchdown came by a
pass from Budda Taylor to end
Louis White. This same combina-
ton resulted in Hallie's second
score, but the try for extra point
was missed. Two more scoring
threats came from the efforts Of
Edgar Pillows, Ernie Johnson and
Quintine Stone, who did the ma
jority Of the ball carrying.
Considering the inexperience Of
the Wheatley outfit, they per-
formed remarkably well, turning
back two Halle scoring chances
with good line defense. Romano
Johnson, Barney Breedlove, and Ira
Robinson were some Of the stars
for the Minneapolis team, playing
a very steady game throughout the
contest. Clyde ScrOggins' quarter
backing deserves a good deal Of
praise as the score could well have
been higher II not for his smart
defense.
The crowd, compared to former
years, was very small with larger
turnout from Minneapolis. About
the only persons who seemed to be
impervious to the cold were the
cheer leaders from both Commun-
ity houses.

ners. All Of these boys are enjoy
ing their first sojourn in the South
land and like the school very much.
All are playing stellar ball and
building for Coach Reed an envi-
able reputation as a developer Of
teams. The sensational running Of
Cotton and Hogan, the aggressive
line play and punting Of Tabor,
and the outstanding pass receiving
Of Brown and Presley are exciting
raves" in the Louisville press.
In his first year, Reed has built
a team that is rated one of the
best ever TO represent Municipal
College. Already the 1916 "Ban-
tams" las the team is known To-
cally) have scored more points than
any other Municipal team has done
in a single season. In addition the
team has sold" itself to the COM
munity and won the respect and
support Of the entire city as never
before.
Losing their opening game 1875
to the powerful Lincoln Univer-
sity Tigers, the "Bantams" have
developed rapidly to score victories
over Fort Knox $50; Morristown
(Tenn.) 1915; Lockbourne Air Base
(Ohio) 800; and Miles Memorial
College (Ala.) 25-l2. One more
game stands between Coach Reeds
boys and the end Of the season
the big Homecoming game Satur-
day, Nov. %, against Fisk Uni
Versity. That may well prove the
toughest game Of all, for Fisk,
too, is on the football comeback
trail and has a good team this year.
The Fisk game places Prof.
Barksdale, who is assisting Reed
in his coaching duties, Gin the mid
de-" for Fisk is Barksdale's Alma
Mater. However, come game time
Nov. %, he along with Coach Reed
and their Ave hometown boys will

And after football comes basket

schedule includes games with Tus-

The fighting Gopher aggregation
made chumps out Of the nations
top sports analyst in upsetting
the highly touted Hawkeye team
1876. Minnesota, led by the bril-
liant field generalship Of Billy Bye,
took advantage Of every favorable
situation. Iowa was unable to cope
with the vicious blocking and
tackling Of the GopheTs and were
apparently completely befuddled by
Minnesota's inspired brand Of foot
ball.
Emlen Tunnel was probably the
most Disguised man on that field
as he was rushed so much that it
was impossible to pass accurately
except on one occasion. Earl Banks
was the iron man Of the day as
he played the entire game with the
exception Of a few minutes. Banks
Is a very humorous fellow to watch
