BUDDY ROGERS 1 ATSTRAND THEATER “Yarsity” Fairly Sparkles With! Flamboyant Gollegiate Lile At last a college picture with a new, a different approach has been produced. At last the intriguing round of college life in the United States has been divorced trom all the fanfare and slapstick of former, so- called college pictures which sicken- ed collegiates and non-collegiates alike. At last Paramount has pro- duced “Varsity,” with Charles (Bud- i dy) Rogers ably handling a diffi- cult lead role and Mary Brian and Chester Conklin furnishing support. “Varsity,” which will be at the | 8trand Sunday for four days, pic- | tures college life as it is. It is a true und living recgrd which any college man or woman can recognize a8 such and appreciate. There is mone of the win-the-ballgame- for-alma-mater type of balderdash woven into its dignified and beautiful theme. “Varsity” is the kind of mov. ing picture Princeton university, one of the oldest and most respected of the institutions of higher learning in the United States, can well afford to sponsor. | CHANLES (oOMRQCENS IN THE PARAMOUNT PiCTURS AVARSITY The story deals with a whimsical janitor whose aim in life 1s achieved when his son comes to college. The scenes for “Varsity” were ac- tually taken on the campus at Princeton university and were super- vised in the making by a committee (rom the faculty of the university. The picture 1s splendidly concelved, ubly directed and competently act- «d, & true and living portrait of con- temporary American college life. There will be two complete shows on Sunday night at 6:30 and 8:30. The vaudeville program will be featured hy Eddie Mayo and His 12 tiarmonica Rascals. Other big ts will be offered.

ATTACKS ROOVER'S BRITISH INTERESTS Reed Says Candidate Was Di- rector in 89 Syndicates Elizaleth, N. J., Oct. 27—United States Senator James A. Reed of Missouri told several thousand per- sons that overflowed the Elks' audi torium last night that Herbert Hoover was a director of 29 British companies and that he did not vote in the United States until he was 46 years old. He also charged that the republican presidential nominee abetted the Harding administration in the transfer of oil land to Fall. Other sprakers at the rally includ- ed United States Senator Edward 1. Edwards, nominec for re-election, and William L. Dill, candidate for governor. Senator Reed said in part: “Mr. Hoover lived all of his adult life, until he came here to { fice, in British territory. His Ameri- can citizenship is 50 much in doubt that it requires certification. “Accordingly, Dr. Work, having been appropriately buoyed up by the certificate of the attorney general that he, Work, had fllegally and wrongfully given Sinclair an illegal oil contract, in turn solemnly certi- fies that Herbert Hoover never real- ly quite Lecame a British subject. “The cortifi wax on the B fied voter, but, tor, it was all was only a “The ificate admits that Hoover owned property fn England; also it is admitted that in 1914 he was the director of 29 British com- panies and that his brother was & director in fifteen.

And it does not deny that he still is financially interested in these companics. “The very fact that he denies di- rectorship and does not deny finan- cial interest strongly implies that the interests exist, “Why this quibbling? plain and unequivocal tish lists as a quali- s the learned doc- a mistake, Hoover tish taxpayer.

PREHISTORIC ART 0ld Found in France Croix-De-Vie, France, Oct. 27 —A medallion of a human head in bag-relicf, reputed to be 7,000 vears old. has been discovered on a great ledge of rock, originally sub- merged in the sea, by a Vendee archaclogist, Dr. Marcel Baudouin. If Dr. Baudouin’s theories are cor- rect, the medallion is of the very first interest to achacologists the world over, since he maintains that the configuration of the head makes it akin to the representations of old Mexican and Mayan divinities. Thus submarine ledge of rock fis taken by Dr. Baudouin to Le ma- terfal proof of the existence of the | lost Atlantis, the continent supposed [ to have existed where the Atlantic ocean now rolls and which constant- ly haunts the imagination of acien- tists.
