^ - THURSDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 15 ,1945 THE BATTALION PAGE 3 Man, Your Manners By I. Sherwood By Blimp Sager CAMPUS— Playing Thursday and Friday is “Dragon Seed” with Katherine Hepburn, Turhan Bey, Walter Huston, and Akim Tami- roff. This picture is taken from Pearl Buck’s novel of modern Chi na. It is a stirring and poignant love story of two orientals whose romance blossoms amid tyranny and warfare. It is rated as one af the best pictures of the year and is really a dramatic master piece. It gives a good idea of tvhat our humble allies, the Chinese, aave had to endure under the heel )f the Japanese boot of tyranny. Lowdown: One of the best shows )f the year. Saturday is a double feature. The iirst feature, “Long Voyage Home” s a thrilling adventure of the sea vith a top star cast. It portrays ;he rugged life on a tanker during var time buffeted by the weather md the enemy. Every minute is packed with action. Lowdown: A thriller! The second feature is a mystery Irama enttiled “Night of Adven ture’ with Tom Conway and Au- Irey Long. A man tries to protect lis estranged wife found at the scene of a murder and in doing so lie directs the. suspicion towards himself. It looks as if he won’t get out of it for a while, but in the long run justice triumphs. Lowdown: Pretty good “Who done it?” show. “To Have and Have Not” is play ing Sunday and Monday, starring LOUPOT’S A LITTLE PLACE - - ; - - A BIG SAYING! Humphrey Bogart and Laren Ba call. In my opinion this is THE show of the year. It is based on Ernest Hemingway’s novel and is placed in Martinique. Bogart is an American who hires out as a guide to fishermen. In the process he meets up with Slim (Lauren Bacall) who is also American and is stranded without money but is more than able to take of her self. This new actress will make quite an impression on you. Bogart gets tied up in local politics al though he has tried to remain neu tral. He hires his boat to Free French patriots and gets Vichy officials on his neck. After a few dealings with the Vichyites, he dev elops a definite dislike for them which proves quite unhealthful for the Nazi puppets. There are plenty of laughs furnished by Walter Brennen who is Bogarts’ buddy and is addicted to demon rum. Hoagy “Stardust” Carmichael plays the piano for Lauren in a couple of songs one of which is “How Little We Know”, which is definitely slated to hit. You can describe this new actress in one word—sul try! For a show of music, humor, spice, suspense, and excellent en tertainment, this is your best bet. Lowdown: Wow, what a show!! PALACE—Showing Thursday, Friday and Saturday is “Tall in the Saddle with John Wayne. This is a high hat western and really a good show. Wayne ’gets into some close situations but is able to come out on top with blazing guns. There is romance mixed up in the plot with him falling for two girls, but it all ends up happily. It has a good plot and keeps you guessing up till the last minute. Lowdown: A good show for plen ty of entertainment.

If there is, he, of course, goes first. If there are several in the party it is cus tomary for all the women to go first with all the men behind but occasioanlly they will enter two by two, men beside the women. If either a man or woman is en tertaining guests, the guests of course go first if they are of the same sex. Men dining alone prefer tables along the wall or near windows. When a man is dining with a date the waiter usually pulls out the most desirable chair for the girl. It is usually the one that has the best view of the room—women al ways have their choice. If there is no waiter the man pulls out the chair for her. In restaurants where there is a bench against the wall the woman always takes the seat facing out with the man across from her. In some cases they will sit side by side. A man with two women would sit between them and one woman with two men would sit between them. In the case of two couples men should not sit by their wives.

In that same year, 1845, the Mexican War was im minent. Railway Express service was 6 years old. The colleges were few. Now, a century later, Amer ica is fighting a global war, the colleges are counted by thousands, and our service is nation-wide. Today, the colleges are training students for the armed services; and the rail and air facilities of Railway Express are being largely utilized for the speeding of war-goods shipments.
