Tom buys at 10, Ted at 2, and Fred at 4 o’clock. Can a "Honey”
help it, if Boy Friends must have a play-rnate when drinking a bite
to eat? Is she to blame if it dulls the sharp edge of appetite, saves
lunch money and keeps her figure trim? You can’t call that gold
digging can you? Get "hep” girls! It ain’t no sin to go out with
him at 10, 2 and 4 oVoci .

ita, Lupe Valez, and crashes into
a revolution and a picture full of
thrills, loses his memory, can’t re
member his wife, or his past, but
what an active present he lives

Lupe Valez, fiery star of Zieg-
field’s “Hot-cha,” Leo Carrillo,
the bad hombre, Melvyn Douglas,
the young aviator, and George Bar-
bier.
Wheeler and Woolsey go wild

If you haven’t seen Frederic
March in “Dr. Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde,” you have missed one of the
best of the season’s thrillers. The
sound version even surpasses the
excellent silent thriller, and Marchs
transformations are enough to fi
gure out if you miss the rest of
the picture.

Frederic March, whose amazing
double role in “Dr. Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde,” is still a topic of conversa
tion, has a new dual portrayal of
a more genteel cut as a twin bro
ther in “Strangers in Love,” film
ed from the novel, “The Shorn
Lamb,” March enacts the role of
a usurping son who forges a will
to deprive a brother of his inheri
tance, and also the role of the vag
abond brother who comes to his
own after a series of thrilling epi
sodes. Kay Francis, Juliette Comp
ton, and Stuart Erwin head the
support cast.
Richard Barthelmess scores a
hit in “Alias the Doctor,” with Ma
rian Marsh. Richard plays the part
of Karl, an orphan, brought up by
Mother Brennen in Bavaria, with
her own two children, Lottie and
Stephen. He falls in love with Lot
tie, but on graduation from medical
school, takes blame for an opera
tion to save Stephen, and goes to
prison. Later, when Stephen dies,
he takes his name, and earns a
reputation as a great surgeon. It
is excellent drama, all roles capa
bly acted, among excellent scenes.
An excellent story of a fight be
tween gangs and the police, in
which the police now receive the
glory, is portrayed in “Beast of
the City,” with an excellent cast,
Walter Houston, Jean Harlow, Jean
Hersholt, and Wallace Ford. The
picture has plenty of action and a
whirlwind finish.
Further proof that the T C U
track and field team must be taken
into serious consideration by other
conference title aspirants was in
evidence on the Horned Frog track
Saturday, March 13, when only 3%
points separated them from the 40
scored by the Oklahoma Aggies in
winning the track meet held an
nually during the Southwestern
Exposition and Fat Stock Show in
Fort Worth.
Texas University came in third
with 30 points, while trailing in the
order named were Southwestern
University of Oklahoma, 14; Abi
lene Christian College, 11%; and
Texas A and M with five points,
which were made with two entries,
D. S. Wingo, Wills Point, placing
second in the high jump, and Sam
McCluney, Waxahachie, who took
third in the discus.
The absence of the champion Rice
Owls and the majority of the Tex
as Aggie track team apparently
accounted for such a large number
of points scored by the Frogs, be
cause although they have a few
outstanding individuals, they do
not have the balanced team that
represent Rice, Texas, and A and
M.
A bevy of hurdlers and sprint
ers, led by Charlie Casper, sensa
tional sophomore, and Red Oliver,
often referred to as the “fastest
football back in the United
States,” nearly took the meet for
T C U even after one of the Frogs
fast dash men had refused to run
on account of the weather.

Something To Think About
When you buy on price you can never be sure.
It’s unwise to pay too much, but it’s worse to pay too little.
If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add some
thing for the risk you run—and if you do that, you will
have enough to pay for quality.
Remember, QUALITY is never cheap.

collegiate and Olympic honors in
the tournament.
The Penn State gym, used as the
background in the picture, has been
the scene of three such tourna
ments in the past. In 1930 the
national collegiate wrestling cham
pionships were decided there. The
previous year it was the scene of
the Eastern Intercollegiate Boxing
Association tournament and again
last year, 1931. Having a seating
capacity of over 5000, it presents
an ideal setting for a collegiate
tournament.
