Bessie Love' heads the cast. She and Gus Shy contributed the laugh high-spot of the picture with their “Gee, But T'd Like to |Make You Happy” number that |starts out as a cute little song and dance and winds up .as a cy- clonic Spanish fandango burlesque Lend Remantic Aid Stanley Smith is the football captain juvenile, with Mary Law- lor, the demure ingenue of the stage, lending romantic assistance. Their love numbers together are, “Lucky In Love” and “The Best Things in Life Are Free.” Lola Lane supplies the motivation to the love scene. She sings “That's How You Know We're Co-Eds.” Clff (Ukelele Tke) Edwards chalks up another neat perform- ance as the football trainer, as his song, “I'm Pessimistie” runs through - the picture with hilarious plaint against cheerfulness. Doro- thy McNulty and Billy Taft dance the “Varsity Drag” and she gets lots of laughs as the campus-cut- up. Has Goed Role Miss McNulty has a good role. Frank MoGlynn is the professor, Tom Jackson the coach and Del- mar Daves the football bully. Sammy Lee, who directed the dancing ensembles, produces & spectacular wedding finale, which is screened in natural colors. A bit of dancing novelty, for which Lee cannct be credited, is that of the figures on the blackboard, which join in the ‘“Varsity Drag” num- ber. All of the music of the stape {play of the same name by DeSylva, Henderson and Brown is intact in the musical-movie, with some new numbers interpolated. Abe Ly- man’s band plays the score and adds a symphonic tunefulness.

RUSTLE OF HOKA-LILIES LOUD 'IN RED MAN'S GAME ' G LAKE, Miss., Aug. 14—The re- sounding crack of hickory on horse hide may be heard in the sand lots throughout the land, but here 1t is the rustle of hoka-lilies. Baseball as played by native Choctaw Indians for hundreds of years requires large sticks with; a cup like device on the end of each. These are used instead of mitts. ‘The ball is placed in a field sim- ilar to a football field, with goals at each end. The teams rush for 'the small ball, seeking to snare it in the hoka-lily. 4 ———— Old papers st The Empire. “Hitless Wonder” Shines in | INGOLN STILL |“THE SEA 60" Eraof Sluggers ~ YOUTHS' IDOL| TO SHOW LAST BERKELEY, Cal.,, Aug. 14.—There ' | % arc American heioes and mor: | Tomorrow American he but Abraham - | Lincoln still remains the idol of the | «The Sea G will be shown | American Boy—and Girl |for the last times at the Coli- At least that is how it stands|seum theatre. “The Land of Miss- :“ a survey made by L.
