Belasco’s stage hit, “Bachelor Fath
er”, is now in the talkies, with Marion
Davies. The picture is a screamingly
funny one, but nevertheless has its
heart throbs. Ralph Forbes and C.
Aubrey Smith are with Marion in
this picture.—3—
Doug is back again with as much
action as ever, but now in a modern
role, and in the pursuit of love and
fortune. The story is ultra-modern
and sophisticated, and is full of brill
iant settings and comedy. Bebe Dan
iels is co-starred with Fairbanks in
this fast moving comedy. This brill
iant combination carries the picture
from a snappy start to a fast finish.
—3—
Marie Dressier and Polly Moran are
teamed in the comedy “Reducing”.
The picture moves a bit slowly in
places, but has a few high spots, and
even a bit of slap-stick. The story
is of the strife of two sisters over
the loves of their daughters. A bit
of drama claims a part of the picture
in the last reel, and all ends well.—2—
Ronald Colman has a chance to dis
play some of his talent in his latest
picture “The Devil to Pay”. This
comedy drama was written by an
English dramatist, Frederick Lons
dale, who was finally induced to write
for the pictures. Colman is the idle
son son of old English nobleman
who sends him to Africa for a new
start, but in the picture, he becomes
homesick, and returns to England in
tending to marry some rich heiress.
No fatted calf is waiting for the pro
digal son when he returns. Loretta
Young stars with Colman.—2—.
Announce Math
Contest Winners
J. A. Nichols of Welbon, Iowa., and
C. C. Johnston, of Victoria were de
clared winners for the annual fresh
man and sophomore math contest, in
banquet at the mess hall Wednesday
night. The runners-up in this contest
were W. B. Logan of Dallas, for
the sophomores, and H. W. Perkins,
of Dallas, freshman.
Those placing first in both contest-
and the winner of second place in the
freshman contest received gold watch
es, while the second prize for the
sophomores is twenty dollars in cash.
These prizes are all given by people
interested in the work of the depart
ment but are not in any manner con
nected with it.
Rules of the contest provided for it
being conducted in a strictly unpar-
tial manner, as all papers were given
a number and the contestant’s num
bered being seconded separately off of
the grading was done by members
only, and no one actually knew the
winner until during the banquet when
the numbers of the winners were an
nounced.
