“Dancers in the Dark.’ ’
The picture of a picture in the
making, and the story of a mad
director who would sacrifice lives
for air thrills for the screen, is
“The Lost Squadron.” An excellent
drama, a real thriller and what a
cast—Richard Dix, Mary Astor,
Erick Von Stroheim, Dorothy Jor
dan, Joel McCrea, and Robert Arm
strong.
“Polly of the Circus” presents
Marion Davies as a charming tra
peze artist in a travelling show,
and Clark Gable as a minister of
the church. 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.

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.

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.

ities will begin clearing the site
immediately, which is now occupied
by several buildings belonging to
the department of veterinary medi
cine. The new structure probably
will be completed within nine
months from the time actual con
struction begins, which will open
the building for occupance by Sep
tember 1934.
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. The laboratory unit will have
few partitions and will be heavily
constructed to accomodate the
heavy machinery used in the Agri
cultural Engineering department.
The estimated cost of the build
ing, including equipment, will be
approximately $200,000. At this
time there is also the announce
ment that work on the new Geolo
gy-Petroleum Engineering and En
gineering Experiment Station will
be started within thirty days.

Vj test, men! Who are you for—Walt or
Bill? Palmolive or Colgate’s?
We’ve discovered that men are rabid on
the subject of shaving creams. Just try to tell
a Colgate user there’s anything better! Or try
to convert a Palmolive user to anything else.
You’ll soon find out!
These are the two leading sellers among
all shaving creams. Think of that—in a field
of 176 competing brands! What we want to
know is—why do you like Palmolive? Or why
do you swear by Colgate’s? Tell us!
Hence this little contest. There’s money
in it—lots of money. Get some of it! Help
Walt out. Or help Bill out. Notice the two
empty "blurb” spaces in the picture at the
right. In ONE of these spaces (or on a sep
arate sheet of paper) write what you’d say in
favor of Palmolive—or vArax you’d say in favor
of Colgate’s, Write it now! And note! Men
tion your dealer’s name. Then if you win,
he’ll win a prize, too.
Come on you shavers-'Get in on
this $25,000 argument
Walt wants you Palmolive users to say your say.
Bill says "Stick with me, you'Colgate users.” If you
don’t use either, start now and take a shot at this real
money. And, don’t forget, give your dealer’s name!

Some hints to help you win
Here are some facts about the
world’s two largest selling shaving
aeams—Colgate’s and Palmolive.
Here are some of the reasons
why men prefer these famous
shaving aeams.
PALMOLIVE
1. Multiplies itself in lather 250 times.
2. Softens the!beard in one minute.
3. Maintains its creamy fullness for 10
minutes.
4. Fine after-effects due to olive oil con
tent.
COLGATE’S
1. Breaks up oil film that covers each hair.
2. Small bubbles get down to the base
of the beard, hold water against each
hair at skin-line and soak it soft where
the razor works.
3. Gives a dose, skin-line shave clue to
small bubble action.
4. Gives a lasting, 24-hour shave.
