An excellent love drama follows. “The Unholy Garden” is the story of fugitives from the law who have gathered together in the only place where they are safe from justice. Here, they prey upon one another, adventurers from ev ery country, and here also are strange, beautiful women who prey upon the adventurers. Ronald Cole man plays the part of the man who escaped the arm of the law, but not the arms of his woman. Fay Wray, Estelle Taylor, and Warren Hymer lead the support cast. If you want to see one of the best performances on the screen, don’t fail to see George Arliss in “Alex ander Hamilton.” This picture has been hailed as one of his best performances. Others in the splen did cast are Doris Kenyon and June Collyer. Maurice Chevalier as a hero of the boudoir smiles his way through his latest romantic comedy, “One Hour With You.” To hear Jeanette and Maurice sing is in itself a treat. If you like Chevalier, you’ll like him in this picture with Jeanette MacDonald, Genevieve Tobin, Charley Ruggles, and Ron ald Young. Jack Oakie, William Collier, Jr., Mariam Hopkins, and Eugene Pallette give excellent perfor mances in “Dancers in the Dark,” a story of gangs and dance halls, with Oakie leading an orchestra. There is plenty of action and hu mor throughout. LOMAX— (Continued from page 1) lore Society and was its first sec retary. In his collection of songs of the cowboys and ballads of the fron tier he instigated the original movement to save the folk-lore of America and was encouraged in this work by Theodore Roosevelt. While at A and M College, Mr. Lomax collected many songs. The following quotation is taken from a recent interview which appeared in the Dallas Times Herald: “Many songs were given to me,” he is quoted as saying, “by my stu dents at the A and M College. The only ‘author’ of a cowboy bal lad cited in his first book in one of his students, Harry Stevens, bronco buster and poet, who came to A and M from Denison. Mr. Lo max said, ‘this student brought all his cowboy accoutrements, except his horse, and kept them in his rooms at the college’.” Mr. Lomax has appeared in for ty-three states and lectured at most of the important universities and through these lectures he has achieved a most enviable reputation as an interpreter of native Ameri can folk-lore. His appearance at the college is being looked forward to with much interest. BONE— (Continued from page ll has been spent in contact with stu dents and their problems. He was born in Topeka, Kansas, graduat ing from Washburn College, which is located there, in 1922, having majored in social science. After his graduation, Mr. Bone was res ident secretary of the Student As sociation at the University of Ver mont, Burlington, Vermont, at which position he had considera ble success in establishing volun tary student discussion groups in dormitories and fraternity houses. The following two years he spent as secretary on the national staff of the Student Christian Movement, traveling to the colleges of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri. Then Mr. Bone spent two years in graduate study at Union Theolo gical Seminary at Columbia Uni versity, New York, studying par ticularly religion, phychology and philosophy. He then became a fel low of the National Council on Re ligion in Higher Education travel ing out of New York City to the colleges of the United States at large. Mr. Bone has visited more than 125 different colleges and univer sities in America, some of them on several occasions. He often spends from five days to a week at each institution, hob-nobbing with the students, lecturing, conducting for ums and discussions, sitting in on undergraduate “bull sessions” and conferring with members of the fa culty and administrations. Before assuming the duties of the traveling secretaryship at Dal las in 1929, Mr. Bone spent a year working in a construction camp on the Rio Grande, to build up his health and also to give him a new insight into human relationships and reactions. Mr. Bone has made several pre vious visits to the campus, one of them during the first semjester, when he spoke to several class groups.

The building will consist of three parts. The main unit will be used for offices and class rooms, the second for the lecture rooms, and the third for the warehouse and laboratories. The first two sections will be approximately similar in structure to the chemisthy build ing.
