OPTIMISM AT VIRGINIA

ginia's football coaches are com
ing to believe that there is some
thing almost magical that is in
spiring the Virginia Cavaliers as
they prepare to play their Thanks
giving' Day game against North
Carolina's Tar Heels.
Until last Saturday the Virgin
ians regarded the Carolina contest
as Just another game. But th3
news that the North Carolinians
defeated Duke seems to have goi
iten under their skins and infected
them with a collective ambition to
tick the team that licked Duke.
No practice was called for Mon
! day and only a brief workout was
iield Tuesday. But despite a slow
start and threatening weather the
Cavaliers who .reported Wednes
day appeared to be keen to get
ready to turn in their best game
when they face the Tar Heels.

"Madame
Du Barry"
Starring Dolores Del Rio
And Victor Jory At The
Louisburg Theatre Thurs
day and Friday, Nov.
29th and 30th
"Mad. i i Barry," the War
ner Br iction depicting the
intimate e nd loves at the fa
mous beauty who'ruled the court
of King Louis XV, comes to the
Louisburg Theatre, Thursday
(Thanksgiving) and Friday, No
vember 28th and 29th with
Dolores Del Rio in the stellar role.
Although the intrigues of the
eourt, as in any story of Du Barry,
will be apparent, Edward Chod
oroy, the author of the current
screen play, is said to have con
cerned himself with the lighter
side of the king's favorite.
The picture, while billed as a
comedy drama, with the emphasis
on the comedy, also is a mam
moth spectacle with its gorgeous
reproductions of the court, the
palace at Versailles, the famous
Colonnade Gardens, where the
grand ladies and resplendent cour
tiers disported themselves in gaie
ty and luxury, while the people
starved.
Nor is the picture without its
dramatic moments when Du Bar
ry fights intrigue with intrigue,
usually outwitting her enemies,
who would gladly thrust a dagger
through her beautiful back. Yet
even in these more intense sequen
ces, the irrepressible Du Barry
usually manages to end them with
a laugh? at the expense of the
enemy.
There is a gorgeous and novel
dance staged by the famous Alber
tina Rash daqcers.
The picture has an unusually
large cast of talented players in
the principal roles and hundreds
of others in minor parts. Dolores
Del Rio has the part of Du Barry
with Reginald Owen playing op
posite her as King Louis XV.
Other include Victory Jory. Os
good Perkins. Verree Teasdale,
Ferdinand Gottschalk, Dorothy
Tree, Anita Louise, Maynard
Holmes. Henry O'Neill. Hobart
Cavanaugh and Helen Lowell.
