Mr. Leslie V. Spelnian, head of tin* music department, assist ed by Mrs. Peyton Brown, so- pi ano. of Raleigh, gave an organ recital at the Tabernacle Bap tist Church Sunday afternoon, November (>. At The Theatres AT THE PALACE The'wildest and most hilarious football game ever staged is re- ported to be the climactic feat ure of “Rackety Rax',” the com- edy-satire with Victor McLaglen which plays at the Palace theatre Wednesday and Thursday. The game takes place at Sol diers’ Field, Chicago, with a ca pacity audience of 110,000 watching the battle between Canarsie College, a fictitious Brooklyn institution, and Lake Shore University, a mythical ( Miicago college. Edgar Kennedy comedy “Gold tliunip” and “Wild and Wooly,” act -onipletes the program. >Vhile “location trips” in movie making usually imply plenty of extra work and wor ries for the director and his statt’, they arc hailed with joy by the players. As a consequence, Charles l’’arrell, Joan Bennett, Ralph Bellamy and the other princi pals of “Wild Girl” managed to combine a good deal of pleas ure with their business when the production got under Avay—for nearly all of the picture was filmed in one of the finest scenic spots in the West, Seqnoia Na tional Park. Situated high up in the California Sierras among groves of giant trees and with vistas of snow-capped peaks close at hand, the trip was equal to a splendid vacation as far as tlie east was concerned. iiaoul Walsh directed “^Vild (rirl.’’ which will play at the Palace theatre Monday* and Tuesday. “Honeymoon Beach,” comedy, and sound news completes the ]u-ogram. Visitors to th(^ world's fair in ('hicago next year will be able to have Iheir |)liotogra])hs taken in the dark. The fair is to set u]) a booth and use the newly dis covered ability of infra-red rays lo make objects visibh? in tin* (lark (o a photographic lilm.— Ifliilio .[rfionaiit. One may say that there is at .Merelilh a comid(!te harmony bci weeii {he imblications and the CaciiMy. As for Ihe second vesolulion many of the editors and busi ness managers of the college ]iub- lications in Xorth C'arolina do i-eceivi* .salaries and a per cent of ihe al\’(‘i-tising lees. This seems a good plnn wherever pos sible.

'I'hesc resoliilions show that the XfM'lh Carolina ('ollege stu dents in pnbliiation work ai'e taking tlit'ir duties mni'h more seriously and are striving lo im- [)ro\'(‘ their wt>rk. A Zane Grey i)ieture means adventure, exciting action and tlui old West brought alive on the screen. It means scenery of inei-edible beauty and a story of stalwart, courageous men and women living the rugged lives of frontier days. And “Heritage of the Desert,” which plays at the ralaee theatre Friday and Sat- urilay, is not only a Zane Grey ]>iel,nre. It is an exce]itionally fine Zane Grey picture. 'IMu? story acquires ils ad\’en- Inre and excitement from the history of a f(fud of long stand ing between Holderness, notori ous -a.ttle rustler, and Adam Xaab, landowner, Avho refuses lo ]>ermit Holderness to drive his stolen cattle and horses through the Naab land. In re taliation, Hoklern(‘ss has tried for years to gain possession, by fair means or foul, of Naab’s holdings. A manof peace, Naab has avoided an open break, Init when Holderness attempts to use Naab’s adored but weakling son. Sna|>, against his father; tri(is lo kill Jack Hare, a young surveyor (•mploj'^ed by Naab to check up on his boundary lines, and kidnaps Judy, Naab’.s ward, it becomes a fight to the death. “Burned at the Stake,” com edy, and sound news completes the program. AT THE STATE Greta Garbo, Joiiu Barry more, Joan Crawford, Wallace Beery, Lionel Barrymore, Lewis Ston(', Jean Hersholt. What magi; those names have wrought in the picturization of Vicki Banni^s sensational novel and play, “Grand Hotel,” play ing at the State theatre on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at popniar pi'ices. Here is a picture tluit will make history. Not only at the box otHce where its appeal is ob vious. But as a picture upon wliich the ici-een may step for ward to a new era of artistry and worthiness. Of course, the central charac ters, played by siich seasoned experts, bring into the story characterizations profoundly impressive. It is probable that no other dramatic piece, on stage or screen, has been so ad mirably acted. A sound news completes this program. 5ome on, you rooters! 'Ihe big game of the “Prison 0)nfei*ence” will be played at the State theatre on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday Avhere Bert Wheeler and iRlobert Wool- S(*y are co-starring in the com edy, “flold ’Em Jail,” with Edna May Oliver, Edgar Kennedy, Rosco “Stuttering” Ates and Betty Grable in tlx; featured cast.
