The answer to this question is glven in First National's “The Drop Kick,” starring Richard Bar- thelmess, a story of college life today, ‘which comes to the Palace Theatre tonight. “The Drop Kick” is an enter- taining story, with dramatic thrill{? and much comedy, and flavored with the excitement of a big foot- ball game. ‘As the story unfolds it is apparent that college boys and girls of today are much the same as they were in days gone by, and that college brings out the! goed in most young men and wo- men, ‘while the bad in others is bound to come out whether they are in college or not. Barthelmess is assisted by a clever cast, including Barbara Kent, Dorothy Revier, Alberta Vaughn, James Bradbury, jr., Hed- da Hopper, Eugene Strong and a host of others. The football teams of Stanford and University of Southern California appear in the football game and the Ten Na- tional College Stars, recently cho en by First National Pictures in a nation-wide contest, also are in “The Drop Kick.” ¥ UBERIND THE FRONT" CONTINUES, COLISEUM B | !

Evelyn, Mabel and May Ross, singing sisters, thinks so, and are Jjust now adventuring with a cubis- tic_interpretation of harmonies, including an unusual treatment of the octave, which may do for singing what the cubist artist has done for painting an! sculpture. Many musical critics who have _heard the Ross sisters are enthu- | siastic, others cock wary ears and prophecy that the new Ross inter- | pretation will add no permanent }chlpter to vocal history—other than winning the recognition ac- o st art,/ ( +Inaxt few vears.”. Records made by the Ross sis- ers have been sent to European conservatories and masters of harmony are lending an inquisi- tive ear to the new interpretation. Meantime, the sisters prefer American music and are giving it first place on their programs. ““You're A Real Sweetheart’ is a very simple foxtrot song with an orchestration which gives us an ideal range for our voices,” says Evelyn, spokesman for the trio. “It is really one of the simpl- est tunes we sing, but its possibili- ties are remarkable. It has the perfect dance rhythm and can be dressed up as an aria or garbed as a super-modern, “We try to look ahead of the times and we think that the mod- ernist harmonies are going to be the new thing m music for the particularly state departments of health, have contributed to this achievement.
