Preview 11 p. m. Saturday JACKIE COOPER IN “When A Feller Needs A Friend” CHOW TALK 1 By Philip John Thursday, Friday, Saturday — Palace — “The Miracle Man.” Friday — Benefit — Assembly Hall — “Taxi.” Saturday — Assembly Hall — “She Wanted a Millionaire.” Saturday preview, Tuesday, Wed nesday — Palace — “When a Fel ler Needs a Friend.” Sunday, Monday — Palace — “The Wet Parade.” Wednesday — Assembly Hall — “One Hour With You.” The dramatic masterpiece of the stage has become one of the major productions of the screen year. “The Miracle Man” features one of the most powerful casts ever together in a picture, Hobart Bos- worth, Sylvia Sydney, Chester Mor ris, Robert Coogan, Irving Pichel, Boris Karloff, John Wray, and Ned Sparks. The story deals with the reformation of a gang of crooks by a faith healer known as The Patriarch, in his vicinity. The pic ture is a powerful drama, ex cellently portrayed. Don’t miss it. humor, and should give excellent entertainment. \ A talkie depicting the excitement of modern times, the problems of liquor in the south before prohibi tion, and the problems of liquor in times of prohibition, exposing the activities of bootleggers in making “bonded” drinks, is well en titled ‘‘The Wet Parade.” The cast of this picture includes: Lewis Stone, Dorothy Jordan, Walter Huston, Neil Hamilton, Jimmy Du rante, Robert .Young, Joan Marsh, Myrna Loy, Wallace Ford, and many others. The story is based on Upton Sinclair’s novel. The parade covers twenty years, and is drip ping wet from start to finish. You’ll say it bears out all your con tentions toward prohibition, but it will wake you up anyway, and start you thinking. One of the most delightful pic tures filmed is the musical comedy, “One Hour With You,” featuring Maurice Chevalier, Jeanette Mac Donald. Charles Ruggles plays the Romeo, and does it well. You will enjoy every minute of this picture. James Cagney is co-starred with Loretta Young in “Taxi,” the story of a racket in the taxi game. Guy Kibbee, Dorothy Burgess, Polly Watters, and George E. Stone lead the supporting cast. “She Wanted A Millionaire” is played by an excellent cast, led by Joan Bennett, Spencer Tracy, Una Merkel, James Kirkwood, and Dorothy Peterson. The story con cerns the fate of the winner of a bathing beauty contest. Most pa geant beauties want millionaires, but few find happiness in riches. Truly a picture hot from the camera is “When A Fellow Needs A Friend.” Jackie Cooper and “Chic” Sale are co-starred in this picture. The story is taken from the story “Limpy,” and concerns a crippled boy’s struggle to conquer fear and overcome his handicap. Cooper’s characterization of the crippled youngster is even better than his part in “The Champ.” “Chic,” as the conductor of a horse car, encourages the boy to over come his inferiority complex, and develop into a morally sound man. The picture is full of pathos and G. W. Alexander Wins Second Place Award In Medal Contest Architectural students in the State of Texas received recognition in the Southwest by winning all awards in the contest sponsored by the Oklahoma Society of Archi tects recently. First and third prizes in the con test, which was open to students of the departments of architecture in the Southwest and to Oklahoma THE PAN By D. B. McNerney “POLITICS comes to A and M”— many students are saying that but they are fooling themselves because politics has always been here, ever since they have been electing the yell-leader, etc. The recent general student election simply threw a light on condi tions that heretofore have been kept under cover. THIS introduction— of wide-open political tactics should not be viewed with a prej udiced eye. There seems to be a general tendency toward the belief that openly conducted campaigns will undermine the semblence of brotherhood for which A and M is too well known We are of the opinion, however, that school fellowship and school spirit stand a better chance to remain existent, and even become V strengthened, with the new “open and above-board” method. At least, the students will learn what the candidates stand for, hence their balloting will be done less blindly. THE ICE has been broken— It now remains for future classes to set their own standards, elect candidates who publicly profess fulfillment of these obligations, and see that they are carried out. architects practicing in liscensed offices, were won by students in the University of Texas, while sec ond place was won by George W.
