It is now showing at the Coliseum. And ecvery action, gruesome or garrulous, is recorded with the un- canny accuracy of keen direction. ©One senses the weird life of the| jungles—whistle of winds, beat of | rain, arrows whirring through dark-| ness, creaking of the rusty hinges of the mysterious doors, groan of | disappearing floors, even the gasp- ing “ahs” and “ohs” of the terri- fied explorers, especially the love- lorn Miss Flemming, which Miss Fazenda makes excruciatingly amusing—all machinery of mystery and mirth, are made delightfully living. The story is that of an expedition made up- of eminently; respectable folks who come to the Central American jungle in searchi of the son of the backer of the} expedition, who has been lost ther for some time. In the jungles they| ¢ are confronted by grim and un- earthly powers, not the least of which is Bunawunga, the huge|3 gorilla, who whisks unsuspecting|3? victims into space and the madman | who is brought four hundred miles by canoe—adding his bit to the pleasing pandemonium that isl “Stark Mad.” = T Many a flubbing dubb digging || up his home course wishes he || could play as well as little Miss r| Lorene Dennis, aged 9, who knocks the elusive pill around e | T“THE POOR NUT” 1S \ AT PALACE TONIGHT 8 & 3 College spirit, another name fo cooperation, was shown by the students and officials of the Uni-| the Poplar Bluff, Mo., course| in 48 for the nine holes.

As carly as 1904 the party | had begun to carry some wards and 1scnd members to the legislature. | In 1910 it carried the city of Mil- waukea, Berger was elected an |alderman-at-large in April of that | year, and a member of the Sixty- |second Congress in November. He {was elected again to the Sixty- | sixth Congress in 1918. 1 War Views Berger was opposed to America's entry into the World War, not be- cause he was “pro-German,” he in- sisted, but “as a matter of princi- ple.” Nevertheless, from late in 1917 to 1921, he was barred from using the United States mails, as was his newspaper. Letters direct- ed to him were returned with the stamp: “Mail to this address unde- livered under espionage act.” He was indicted five times on charges growing out of alleged acts of dis- loyalty and was sentenced to 20 years in the penitentiary by former judge Kenesaw M. Landis in Fed- eral Court at Chicago. The House of Representatives re- fused admission to Berger ic the Sixty-seventh Congress, but he was re-elected to the Sixty-eighth Con- gress with an increased plurality. In 1921 the Supreme Court of the United States reversed the sentence imposed by Judge Landis, the gov- ernment quashed all other indict- ments, and Berger was permitted to take his seat in Congress “I have been called a b czar and dictator,” Berger once said. “As early as 1893 a Milwaukee news: paper called for a public subscrip- tion to send me back to Germany, but it has never becn said that I was dishonest. Party Principles “Of the two leading parties Ber- ger said: “The Democrats and Re publicans do not differ in any prin- ciple, and having no principle to ystand on, naturally become cor- rupt. I believe there is a neces- sity for a radical and for a con- servative party in this country. I predict that, when any radical party becomes strong in national affgirs, the Democrats and Republicans witi ¢ | unite, as they did in Milwaukee in local affairs, I am willing to go in with a third party in a new align- ment, and I enly hope such a thing ,will take place while I am still strong and able to work.” Victor L. Berger was born Feb- ruary 28, 1860, at Nieder, Austria- Hungary. He attended the gym- nasia and Universities of Budapest ',and Vienna and took a philosophi- cal course, majoring in history with political economy as a side line. In later years he said this was .re- versed, for in his life work he ' majored in political economy. Hez came to the United States in 1878 arriving a few weeks before his family. When his father landed in America he had $1,200, started 1n business in New York and lost his little fortune in six months. Mea:- while, the son had learned. the trade of polisher, earning at first $5 a week. What was more im- portant in' his opinion, however, Producer Jess Smith arranged with the university officials to use the college grounds and buildings for the filming of the picture. = The big annual track meet of the uni- yenity. was scheduled to take plac Several weeks earlier than the film, ompany could be on hand, so the udents and officials gladly past- poned the big meet until the film ‘company could arrive. . As a result, this picture contains gome of the most realistic and un- usual scenes of any college picture ever made.

This staggering record has been rolled up by a frail, lovely girl, wide-and-trusting-eyed, with a voice like an angel's. Her name is Adrienne Guimarche. In Belgium ten years ago—when she was eigh- teen—she began her career of high- pressure marrying; she pursued it assiduously all over the world until one of her former husbands chanced to walk into the aburch where rite number fifty-one was being per- tormed, There she was arrested and her trial will soon take place. As a debutante in her teens Adri- mne was wooed and won by Paul/ Guyot, a respectable and prosperous! wman who was rather gratified when his beloyed Insisted upon a mar- rlage ceremony before yielding even a malidenly kiss.

He was not rich, but he was able to indulge his young wife in theatres, balls, the races and & mildly fashionable whirl. He was able to, that is, until Adrienne’s appetite for luxuries got out of bounds. Then It was that Adrienne met Monsieur Duclos, who was unaware of her husband's existence. He was attentive to the beautiful gizl from their first meeting; there were flowers, theatre parties, gifts. Then Adrienne had an idea. Why not—?
