The Pen that

Ne/p %% Too
^*\NE reason atone that the Parker
Duofold is invaluable to students
is because /?uenf writing induces flu-
ent f *:;nA;ng.' You can't compose your
thoughts if an unruly pen harries your
brain. But Duofold's balanced swing,
its super-smooth point, its fit and
business-like feel in your hand, all gfve
your mincf free re?n.'
Ask your student friends who use
this classic pen—they'll tell you they
would rather let go of seven dollars than
have to part with the faithful Duofold. i
Its over-size ink capacity holds a ;
long-distance ink supply. And its point
is not only smooth as a polished jewel, $
but no style of writing can distort it;
hence, a pen you can lend without fear.
Students call it the "All-American"
Pen because it's the ranking favorite
at leading universities and colleges.
Give yourself a Hying start this year
by getting Duofold this week.

Palace Sceree
"Potaeh and Perlmutter" scored
another triumph for the Majestic
Players at the Palace this week. The
story is that of two Hebrew merch-
ants who with the aid of a charming
designer build up a high class cloth-
ing trade only to see it lost and then
regained. Selmer Jackson as Perl-
mutter and Raymond Bramley as Pot-
ash were the whole show, their char-
acterization was good and produced
much laughter.
In conjunction with the theme of
the play a fashion show was put on.
Miss Houston, (Giadys Webber) took
part in this promenade of tthe latest
styles. Rice Co-Eds will certainty
get an inspiration frmo this align-
ment of wearing apparel. Miss Ev-
elyn Smiley, formerly of the class of
'25 at Rice, took part in this week's
production in both the fashion pa
ra<te and the play.
Next week the Alajestic Players will
present "Hot Air," a comedy done in
oi! by Ceorge D. Watters and Paul
Waketietd. Ilheplayisalaughabie
takeoff on fake oil promotions and
smalt town suckers. The authors of
this play are both Houston men.
()!ga 1'etrova at Majestic
The pretty, tovahle Olga Petrova is
t)io headiine attraction at the Majes-
tic this wek. Miss Petrova appears
on the program twice during each
performance and each time carries
(he audience a hove itself. She is
iirst heart) in beautiful songs and
then finally in the first act of her
four act play "Hurricane," which is
a gripping drama portraying the life
of some foreign family who have
settled iti this country.
The program was opened by the
Les Splendids, who did some tine
,skatinn' on top of a small table.
I Blanche and Jimmie Creighton came
next oife' i;ig -"Mudtown Vaudeville."
Creighton was the outstanding fea-
ture in this act. The whole program
at the Majestic this week is seemed
to be made up "of foreign tal?nt.
M'He Ivy and Co. demonstrated that
there was some art attached to danc-
ing. M'iie Ivy holds the record of
being the world's strongest expon-
ent of toe tlancing. Sh^'s there with
her toes all right.
M'lle Ann Codee, "The Patisienne
Comedienne." is all the name indi-
cates. Slimes were seen to
when she kissed her partner.
said. Irving Newhoff and
I'helps stopped the show with their
tuneful tales. Tit is a'ct was also
good.
Pathe Xews, Aesop Fables, Scott
Bradley at the Organ and Findlay's
orchestra completed this week's bill.

ville. defeated them 7 to 4 on the
Pirates' home Heid.
The Pirates suffered further when

a broken coliar bone. Magee, Pirate
haif, had the ball within 6 inches of

Savings
Many parents fail to save systematically a small
portion of their income to provide for the education
of their children, who, as a result, are compelled to
leave school before their education is completed.
Protect your children from such a misfortune as
this by opening a Savings Account now to be used
as a sinking fund for their education.
