Village Boosted As Garden Spot May Lamberton, Becker Recom mends It to Sojourners. In last Sunday's issue of the New York Herald Tribune's sup plement, "Books," Mrs. May ljamoerton isecKer, , wno con ducts a column called the "Read er s Guide, tells a Vermont man who writes to her for the name of a "charming, pic turesque spot for a winter's so journ" about Chapel Hill. This Vermont man writes that he has usually gone to Europe for the summer, but the in flated dollar keeps him in the United States this winter. He asks Mrs. Becker is she can help him find "some charming pic turesque place not a fashion able winter resort in the south, for a winter's so-journ. Nobody seems to know of any, nor can I find books to help me. Surely there must be delightful out-of-the-way spots in this great U. S., but the only one I've heard of is Charleston, S. C, besides the big Florida resorts that don't appeal to me."- To this Mrs. Becker, who made a talk here last year, answers, "Well, whats the mat ter with Charleston, S. C, one of the two cities of this contin ent that are Carcassonne to me, the other being New Orleans? And while in the Carolina, what's the matter with Chapel Hill, N. C, seat of a gracious university, and set in scenery so delightful I don't see Jiow the students keep their minds on their books? They say there is but one month of the year when something is not in bloom on the campus." CARROLL WILL PRESIDE AT GUILFORD EXERCISES The afternoon session of the Charter day celebration at Guil ford College today in honor of the 100th anniversary of the granting of the charter to Guil ford College will be presided over by Dean ' D. D. Carroll of the school of commerce. Dean Carroll will introduce Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus, who will be the principal speaker. ir ercciciiG iiour Resurrected For Slioving' A t Local Hegro' Theatre. Chapel Hill and Carrboro Negroes ing, Growling Blechanical Monster But Demand Hold Over Presentation of Spectacular Film. Vhile his rather anemic, puny little son was on his way to the Carolina theatre, old papa Kong recently upped from the grave and played a remarkable return engagement in these parts. The sensational visit, which is re puted to have immeasurably out-grunted and out-growled his initial appearance, was paid to the Standard theatre on West Franklin. Little - known in Chapel Hill, this playhouse, situ ated near the' Carrboro line, is exclusively used as a theatre for the Negroes of -this vicinity. Wesley Thompson, projector at E. Carrington Smith's local palladium, is the producer out Carrboro way. He originally booked "King Kong" for one day, but he got considerably more than he bargained for. His patrons went slightly leery on the subject of big, bad Kong and jammed the theatre to over flowing on the first day. So many disappointed and dis gruntled Negroes registered pa tnetic complaints tnat he per suaded Kong to climb the Em pire State building the follow ing day as well. Kong, display ing that spark of humanity that even mechanical monstrosities are not without, graciously con- No Booing The operator's comments on the audience were illuminating, if not flattering. "The Negroes acted very nicely," he said, "nicer than some of the audi ences composed of college stu dents. They neither hiss nor boo and are thoroughly com placent toward whatever fare happens to be served up to them." "King-Kong," however, pro duced a slightly different reac tion. The first awesome shot of the beast struck terror into the hearts of many Negroes. Be lieving that the hairy, toothy GIBBS PRESENTS SENATE REPORT ON BOOK STORE (Continued from first page) were handling the University's text books, none of the special advantages could be had . . ." and it is evident that such "un founded criticisms are foolish and extremely stupid." The report concludes: "The Book Exchange is well organ ized and efficiently run. All its profits go into University funds, not back into the state treasury to be reallocated. The arrange ment may be considered one of reciprocity, the University aid ing the student through operat ing the Book Exchange and the student aiding the University through operating it." Radio Clippings (Continued from page two) day morning at 1 :00 o'clock . . . if there will ever be x another Haddy Camfor (Eddie Cantor, to you) who can have you roll ing out of your seat with laugh ter one minute, and shedding tears the next ... how many of youse guys listen to Fred War ing every week ( and here's a tip: Fred's going to play the new Carolina tunes any week now) ... if many of the radio listeners on the campus have heard the entertaining Phil Har ris band yet . . if anyone hap pened to catch that slip by the announcer of a national net work when he said, "So and so is: especially effective for deep seated children's colds." . . . whatinell Winchell meant when he reported that Mr. Dash was taken to the hospital and oper ated on, but they failed to find his family. Thoroughly Terrified by Roar monster was more a reality than not, they screamed and shouted for protection. As the presen tation continued they became calmer and eventually were rec onciled to the huge, stalking frame which had at first caused wives to cling madly to hus bands, mothers to clutch picka ninnies to their bosoms, and more than one to wish himself safe in bed at home. The fear, it is reported, affected not a bit the interest which the beast had created among Negroes who had not yet seen the picture. Char acteristically, they were eager for their share of the thrill. Westerns Preferred The Standard theatre seats 200 people and has been in existence for several years. Un til Thompson assumed the man agement it was owned and oper ated by the Negro head of the O'Kelly Dry Cleaning firm. Thompson, who has made a kind of personal study of the Negro taste in entertainment and amusement, has long maintained a policy of giving the audience exactly what it wants. As might be expected, the spectacu lar, mock-epic Western horse operas are the biggest hits. The cheering when Jack Hoxie or Buck Jones comes crashing through a plate glass window into the sheriff's office is thun derous. The more gun-fights, cattle-rustlings, and bank rob beries the better the spectators are pleased. Showings are held on Mon day and Tuesday evenings. There are two presentations, one at 7 :00 o'clock and the oth er at 9 :00 o'clock. Equipped with sound, the-Standard theatre is considered one of the best Negro theatres in the state and has become a center for Negro social life in the surrounding district.

Strikes and Spares By KING PIN The long awaited faculty tournament has finally arrived. A fairly large number of the profs 'have entered. The French and English departments offer the largest and probably the strongest contingents. This is, however, an individual elimina tion tournament, which gives the journalism department a chance to walk, off with first honors if Oscar Coffin hits his stride. There should be" a great fight between the French and English departments to see which of them has the most men finishing in the first three. The tournament will start either on Monday or Tuesday. Last quarter, George "Snake" London had the boys at his mer cy with his "pressure" bowling, but this quarter the boys have started smoking another brand of cigarettes to insure steady nerves and proceed to make their marks with the "pressure" turned on full force. Too bad, George. Jim Hudson, member of the U. N. C. bowling team recently bowled two consecutive games, chalking up twenty straight marks. Just a natural that's all. "Harpo" Barnes has been bitten by the bowling bug, it seems. It is rumored that as soon as he learns to strike every box, he will stop and look for something new to conquer. More power to you, Harper. The U. N. C. bowling team is slowly but surely rounding into form. With two, matches behind them, and one to be played this (week-end, the boys hope to be in tip-top shape - when they journey up to meet the crack University of Maryland bowl ing team two weeks hence. The team will have several matches this quarter and plans to enter tlite National Bowling tourna ment which is to be held in Baltimore some time in March. OHIO STUDENTS REFUSE MILITARY REQUIREMENT Sixteen Ohio State University students are facing expulsion because they refused, to attend compulsory military drill. They had first asked for exemption but had been refused. Six of the students planned to visit President Roosevelt and state their cases to him. Sev eral pastors in Columbus have sided with the students in fight ing against the requirement. HAL ROACH presents n at I i S J ,OUvL: p ji r 3W with "Ot j m few 1.-.
