President Spencer of the University of Wash- Ington and Gen. James A. Drain, past national‘commander of the Legion clashed on the issue. President Spencer predicted ulti- mate elimination of military train- ing at the University as ‘“some- | thing basically wrong” because of its compulsory feature. He said he would rather have a small corps| devery man of which believed to! death in the worth of military edu-| cation than twice as many, half of whom were either indifferent or hostile to military training.” Gen. Drain insisted on the com- pulsory feature saying that the time given to military training was little enough for students at state ihstitutions to offer in return for educational facilities afforded them, ———— .

Here is the story in brief, A Parisian widow, happily re- married, is horrified to see in her new hairdresser a man who is her former husband’s double. A hypno- tist restores the hairdresser's mem- ory, and the two keep the secret that he is indeed the first husband. He forgets his own second wife and two sets of twins, and disturbs his After many love tangles he goes with his second| wife and: babies, leaving . his first wife in ignorance of his identity. Play Boy of Paris In “Play Boy of Paris,” Chevalier, gay, debonaire and dauntless, is cast as a millionaire waiter. All day hz waits on the rich people of Paris, longing to take his place with: them in the glamorous life of the world’s fashion center. At night, transformed, he joins the throng of merry-makers in the brilliant cafes, and, with his be- | witching singing, his melting love- making, becomes a favorite with all the women. His chief difficulty is in keeping his identity as a waiter secret, for he is under an iron-bound contract to continue waiting on tables for 20 years. Pretty Frances Dee enters the contest for his heart, turns the tables on a blonde pursuer and an ambitious gold-digger, and snatch- es Chevalier from his mountain of dreams. = “Playboy of Paris” is a love: story built for laughs. Held at High Point The comedy ‘is held at a high point by the antics of Eugene Rallette, whose rotund comedy provides a succession of laughs, and by Stuart Erwin. The women, in addition to Miss Dee, are Dorothy Christy, Zieg- feldian beauty, and Cecil Cunning- ham, & character comedienne of international fame. Ludwilg © Berger directed.
