My Dear Ike: I would indeed be un
grateful if I did not write and thank
you for the splendid visit I had yes
terday to A. and M. College.
The seats were excellent and again
I must thank you and Mr. Driver.
This could not 'be fairly concluded
without congratulating the College au
thorities on the way the crowd and
game was handled. The meals in the
mess hall were excellent and at ridic
ulously low prices. The immense
throng was fed quickly and without
confusion. All of us marveled and
praised. The system could not have
been improved upon. The food was
good, well prepared and of variety.
Truth is, I gourmandized at supper.
- Mi disappointment was the
result of the game. But it was a fair
contest, well played and the best
team won. There can he no alibis.
Too, the officiating was the best I
have seen in Texas.
Again thanking you, and with kind
est regards, I am cordially yours,

AT THE QUEEN.
Thanksgiving Day—The master of
photodrama, Francis X. Bushman, and
the piquantly pretty actress Margue
rite Snow, in a picturization of Otis
Skinner’s great stage success. “The
Silent Voice,” visualizes the romance
of a gifted young musician who finds
his hopes of happiness thrice shatter
ed in the death of his mother, the
loss of his hearing and the seeming
perfidy of his adored wife. How the
discords of his spirit are attuned and
the joy of living returns to him makes
a story of supreme heart appeal and
vital human interest. A screen classic
in six superb acts. It’s truly the
masterpiece of the season.
Mme. Petrova, whose marvelous
emotional powers have won her an en
viable reputation on the speaking
stage in London, Petrograd and New
York, and who is remembered for her
capital work in “Panthea,” at the
Shubert Theatre and on tour, will be
seen on the screen at the Queen
Theatre, Bryan on Saturday, Novem
ber 27, in “My Madonna,” the latest
release of Popular Plays and Players
in the program of the Metro Pictures
Corporation.
“My Madonna” is a gripping and
masterly adaptation of Robert W. Ser
vice’s poem of the same name, and
affords Mme. Petrova an excellent
opportunity to display her marvelous
emotional powers. Guy Coombs, the
popular leading man, makes his debut
in Metro Pictures, playing opposite
to Mme. Petrova. A superb cast of
distinguished players will be seen in
support of Mme. Petrova, including
Evely Dumo, Abert Howson, James
O’Neill and other screen favorites.
This will be one of the seasons
greatest treats and everyone should
grasp the opportunity of seeing this
world famous actress.
SPEAKER FOR SUNDAY.
The minister for next Sunday will
be Dr. H. W. Knickerbocker of the
First Methodist Church at Austin.
We always look forward to Dr. Knick
erbocker’s visits for he is one of the
speakers that comes to us each year
who would have a full house even
though chapel attendence regulations
were suspended—it is a treat to hear
him.
“Pinkey” Foster is still working
hard for a position on the I—K foot
ball team and if such men as Ford
and Anderson do not look out he will
be playing in their place.
