“THE DEVIL TO PAY”
with
Ronald Coleman
and
Loretta Young
The ultra-smart romance of a vaga
bond aristocrat. The most up-to-
the-minute entertainment of the
season with screendom’s smartest
player.
SATURDAY 12:30
Janet Gaynor
and
Charles Farrell
in
“DELICIOUS”
They bring you a new love thrill
and lots of laughs in this romance
of a wee winsome lassie.
SATURDAY NIGHT 6:30 and 8:30
Douglas Fairbanks
in
“REACHING FOR THE
MOON”
with
Bebe Daniels
The screen’s most engaging per
sonality as a dashing, dynamic,
daring daredevil, electrifying the
minds of Wall Street. Million Dol
lar coups. The smartest of modern
dramas.
WEDNESDAY, February 17th.
Thursday, Friday, Saturday—
Palace—“Palmy Days.”
Preview Saturday 11 P. M., Tues
day, Wednesday—Palace—‘‘The
Passionate Plumber.”
Saturday noon—Assembly Hall—
“Devil to Pay.”
Saturday night—Assembly Hall-
“Delicious.”
Wednesday—Assembly Hall—
“Reaching for the Moon.”
Sunday, Monday—Palace—“The
Hatchet Man.”
One of the best comedies of the
year is Cantor’s “Palmy Days.”
Eddie as a French hypnotist holds
side splitting seances, and is none
the less funny as the efficiency ex
pert in a doughnut factory. Char
lotte Greenwood and a company of
the world’s most beautiful girls put
the show over with a bang.
Buster Keaton, Jimmy Durante,
and Polly Moran are the new laugh
trio in the comedy, “The Passionate
Plumber,” a Parisian bedroom farce
concerning a bungling plumber who
comes to a lady’s apartment to fix
a pipe, but remains to mend her
broken heart and keep away unde
sirable suitors. “Schnozzle” Dur
ante is typically good as the lover
of Polly. A riotous duel scene gives
the play its share of action. The
picture is hot from the camera,
and if the cast is any indication,
the comedy should be riot of mirth
Saturday noon at the Assembly
Hall is showing “The Devil to Pay”
with Ronald Coleman, in a playboy
characterization. Ronald as the son
of an English lord plays well the
part of a ne’er-do-well who falls in
love with a rich heiress, is suspect
ed of being a gold-digger, but re
deems himself toward the end of
a delightful story plot.
“Delicious” is another of the pic
tures with Janet Gaynor and Char
les Farrell, in which Janet is a

‘Where Savings
are Greatest.”
Giant Voices Save Lives Austin Architect
Orators long have praised the
presence of mind of men at the
h' hn and the throttle. Recently an
other kind of
min k action
has just as
‘•urely saved
lives.
A dispatch
fro m Europe
reveals how a
stampede of
SO.viUO people
was halted
when the
grandstand at
t h e Holland-
Belgium Rug
by match col
lapsed. Roar
ing through a loud-speaker, an offi
cial quieted the mob. This recalls
a similar incident in this country
when “Speed” Holman, the flier, fell
to his death before 20,000 specta
tors. Panic threatened and Jim
Ewing, announcer, thundered at the
crowd through the Western Elec
tric public address system, holding
it spellbound until the band played
and the next planes flew.

Call For Freshman
Baseball Brings 74
Freshman Coach, Captain E. L.
Lyon’s first call for freshman base
ball players was answered by 74
candidates eager to begin work
Monday afternoon. Of this number
there were only five pitchers and
seven catchers. The total number
of entries is expected to swell to
120 by next week, which will be
larger than that reporting last
year.
Of this bevy of players nothing
is known except that one pitcher,
J. T. Mooty, Ft. Worth, comes with
a very impressive record. Candi
dates for the battery will report
next Monday afternoon at three
o’clock, while the rest will not be
gin workouts until Monday, Febru
ary 22. Uniforms will be issued
Thursday afternoon.
Scotch waif who wins the heart of
Charles, a millionaire, from his rich
lady friends, reforms his family,
and all to the tune of some de
lightful music by Gershwin.
Douglas Fairbanks returns in
“Reaching for the Moon,” as a
careless bachelor stockholder who
has never been in love. A few
drinks make him cave-mannish e-
nough to win Bebe Daniels, who as
a wealthy society girl, leads him
back to recoup a lost fortune.
The screen’s greatest chax-acter
actor, Edward G. Robinson, gives
another thriller to the movie pub
lic in the role of “The Hatchet
Man,” the Honorable Mr. Wong,
a man who served the two masters
of Love and Hate. This picture of
the mystery and intrigue of China
town, should prove itself excellent
entertainment. If you enjoyed him
in “Little Caesar” and his other
pictures, you will find him greater
than ever in this.

Unusual problems in Structural
Design was the subject treated by
Munice Wilson, members of the
Austin architectural firm of

to the Architectural Club Tuesday
evening. Mr. Wilson, who is a grad

Mr. Wilson explained some of the
unusual problems he has encounter
ed while practicing and presented
his solutions to the club. Temper
ature expansion problems, building
code problems, and problems deal
ing with large cantilever beams
were some of the unusual situa
tions encountered, and required un
established solutions in many cases.
Intramural Volley
Ball Opens Monday
Twelve members of the Texas
Aggie tumbling team gave a per
formance at Baylor College at Bel
ton, Saturday, February 6. The
Aggie performance was preceded
by an exhibition given by the Bay
lor girls and was fololwed by a
reception in honor of the A and M
team.
Entertainment at the reception
consisted of a tap dance and a song-
given by Baylor girls and a song
given by L. Manzanera of the Ag
gie team. Probably the feature
point of the program was when
Captain V. D. Want of the Aggies
requested Miss Mary Nan Bryan
to give an encore to her song to
which she responded but with the
stipulation that Want accompany

Coach Klepto Holmes freshman
basketeers celebrated their return
to active play against their first
outside competition in over two
weeks by beating Coach “Bill” Hen
derson’s Waco High Tigers 23-20
Friday afternoon, and again taking
them into camp 31-21 Saturday
night in the Memorial Gymnasium.
Breaking loose from a 3-all dead
lock early in the game, and then
jumping into a lead that gave them
a 11-3 advantage at the end of
the first quarter, the freshmen
were able to take the visitors into
tow Friday night. Ragged passing
and slack guarding of the fresh
men enabled the Waco boys to close
in on them after the first quarter
and match point for point. W. B.
Breazeale, Crockett; was high point
man with twelve counters to his
credit.
The close guarding of Tommy
Hutto, Coahoma; andtheconsistent
control at the tip-off by Breazeale
coupled with good work by the for
wards enabled the freshmen to
again take the visitors in tow Sat
urday afternoon. Hutto and T. H.
Terrell, El Paso; were high point
men with ten counters each.
Joe Bisbey, Houston; Terrell,
Breazeale, and Hutto have each
averaged over seven points in each
of their seven games played.
Leagues are being made up for
intramural volleyball which starts.
Monday, February 15 and will be
posted some time during the latter
part of this week. There will be
four or five leagues formed, each
consisting of five and six teams,
depending on the number of units
participating in the contests.
Each organization participating
in volley ball will be represented
by a six-man team. Members of
the winning team and one substi
tute will be given intramural
medals. Official volleyball rules, a
set of which will be posted at each
court will be followed in these con
tests.

Whether it’s a tender old love song or
a dashing hit from the latest show, there’s
the deep thrill of real music in whatever he
sings. Hear his fine voice in the Chesterfield
Radio Program. And hear Nat Shilkret, too,
with his beautifully-balanced big orchestra.
