The producers attempted, with marked success, to cram every known va of comedy into a story, whic in addition exploits a fresh idea for all it is worth The result iz one of the fastest moving, most genuinely engaging wikeh Iras screen for pieces of entertainm adorned the Coliseum some time. Marie Prevost, one of the most beautiful brunettes on the screen, is equally charming in the blonde wig which she wears to confuse her husband and several of his friends. It is immensely amusing to see one blonde create such a furore among men, and the man- ner in which the piguant Marie outwits her pursuers is an absorb- ing study in buffoonery. Marie proves adept as a comedienne and gives a skillful performance as the pranksome wife. Franklin Pangborn, as a modiste, is seen in an excellent characteri- zation, and Harrison Ford is truly perplexed husband. T. Roy Barnes has a perfect role for his farce-making talents, and Lucien Littlefield portrays a butler with real skill. nt 33 “A MAN'S PAST” GIVEN | PRESENTATION, PALACE | i3 -tz An unalloyed treat was afforded the large crowd at the Palace thea tre last night when the Universal- Jewel production, “A Man‘s Past, made its long-heralded appearance. For sheer. interest and story val- ue, we believe that this pieture marks the highspot of the current cinema season. The story is ex- cellently told, the players are per- fectly cast and the direction leaves nothing to be desired, The story concerns a noted phy- sician who is sentenced to prison for putting to death one of his pa- tients suffering an incurable dis- ease. He escapes from the prison and is well on the road to rehabi- litate himself in new surround- ings when he is discovered by a former officer of the prison. The love interest is especially strong in that the officer and the sur- geon both love the same girl and it appears that the officer will ex- pose the doctor in jorder to get him out of the way. . He does not, however, which sends the story into an entirely different climax which is both original and thril- ling. Conrad Veidt,. long known as “the Buropean Barrymore,” makes his, American debut in this pic- ture. Arthur Edmund Carew plays the prison officer and Barbara Bedford the leading feminine tole. Others in the cast are George Seigmann, lan Keith, Corliss Palmer and Charles Puffy, The Palace orchestra gives a concert and also plays for the first show tonight.

On a recent California trip the Young team made a clean sweep of the five games played, besides having whipped the strong North Dakota university team twice ear- lier in the season Its latest tri- umph was the humbling ol the strong Phillips university quintet of Enid, Okla., and the Lmverslty of Utah five in two games. Coach Ott Romney, coming to B. Y. U. from Montana State, has fal- len heir to an unusually strong lineup. He has changed the style of play, however, substituting a system of feinting, long, hard pass- ing and sprinting for passes, in sharp contrast to the more ortho- dox style formerly in vogue here. The Cougar team is well bal-] anced, Brindley, Howe and Dix-| on, at forward provide a high-pow- ered scoring punch. Although Dixon never has played at this po-| sition before this year, his unusual | speed makes him a valuable man for Romney's style of play. Cooper and Magleby are a pair of rare gunards Magleby is one of the most versatile men on the team, while Cooper is an excep-| tionally skillful goal guard. Inger- soll, center, while below normal in the pre-season play, is being carefu groomed for the confer- ence tilts. —_———.—— Dell E. Sheriff, Juneau’s piano tuner and rebuilder. Phone 573. Wince B.
