Duke, and thence to New Or
leans for an engagement.
Will Make Singing Picture
In the spring Miss Kenyon
will return to Hollywood to
make her first singing picture
which will be with Lawrence
Tibbet. The "singies," she
thinks, have improved vastly in
the past year. Singing pictures
of the pioneering period of talk
ing pictures lacked the construc
tion and technique found today.
These pictures had to improve,
she observes, since low patron
age indicated that the public
would not tolerate them.
As for her choice of audiences
in her present work, Miss Ken
- yon likes tne souxnern tueaue
because the people are far more
; enthusiastic over a performance
j than the theatregoers ot JNew
England, who, sne says, are
coldly reserved. Audiences of
the west, she finds, are too criti

gentleness, your poise and your
understanding."

COMPLETES DRIVE
Six Hundred New Members Are
Added to Local Chapter; Stu
dents Contribute $100.
Completing a successful mem
bership drive covering a period
of two weeks, the local chapter
of the American Red Cross ac
quired 625 new members and a
large number of contributions
in produce, clothes and fuel. Al
though they failed ,to reach the
local fixed quota by 150, they ex
ceeded the quota set by the na
tional chapter by twenty-five.
The success of this project be
gun on Armistice Day, which
was led by Colonel Joseph Hyde
Pratt, was a result of intensive
canvassing of Chapel Hill and
Carrboro by a number of mem
bers of the local organization.
A number of talks asking for
contributions were made in the
Carolina theatre by prominent
members of the society.
Of the quota, sixty of the new
members are students and con
tributions from this . source
amounted to $100. Irving Boyle
was in charge of contributions
from fraternity members; Bill
Medford, the dormitories and
Elizabeth Moore, Spencer hall,

houses.
A request has been sent in to
the national chapter by Colonel
Pratt for about 5,000 more yards
of goods and a large quantity of
clothing to be distributed among
the poor people of the county.
This is approximately halt as
much as has already been given
away.
