Or Waiting for the Co-Ed
Thresher
Friday morning at nine o'clock a
notice appeared on the door of the
Thresher office reading thus: "The
bad news will be out at 11 o'clock."
The bad news was out. The much
discussed—and eussed--Co-ed Thresh-
er had not come out on time and
there was apparently no hope of it
coming out Friday, at all.
The astonishing gullibility of the
human animal was well demonstrat-
ed by the constant stream of interest-
ed students who entered the office
and, warned by the ever present Red
Barthelme not to take more than one
as there were only a few left, seized
a copy and hurried out without even
a glance at the date line.
Red did as good a business as any
newsboy who cries "Extra" in order
to dispose of yesterdays papers.
Twelve-thirty and the Co-ed
Thresher is out. Red ink, can you
beat that, looks hot or bolshevik. On
persual not so hot nor very
either.
SHOTS ON THE SHOWS
MAJESTIC—The bill this week is
filled with a fair sprinkling of
humor. The Ritz Brothers are back
again with the same act they gave
several months ago. They are for-
given for their crack about Rice
University.

THE MUSK REVIEW
By the Official Thresher Mu-
sical Critic
Wednesday, March 3, marked the
date of Paderewski's first appearance
in Houston since his final tour last
year. However, it was an opportunity
that may not come again so no one
is regretting their attendance at this
concert of one who is conceded to be
the world's greatest pianist.
The auditorium with the large, at-
tentive crowd whose attention was
focused on the figure of a single man
clothed in the black of formal dress,
radical | seated before a piano on a stage bare
j of any decoration and with the drab
(a Texas product) share honors in
the feature picture.
QUEEN—Colleen Moore playing
the part of bad little girl and fail-
ing to get away with it in my opin-
ion. If you are a very, very rabid
Colleen Moore fan you may like this
picture. Now if this were Norma
Shearer or Corinne Griffith .
CAPITOL—Dick Barthelmess and a
goodlooking leading woman in a pic-
ture called JUST SUPPOSE. Barthel-
mess still shows signs of acting abil-
ity but you will have to do a lot of
supposing to get the proper amount
of inspiration out of this photofilm.
ISIS—A play as beautiful in its
feeling and photography as the song
for which it is named—MEMORY
LANE. The plot is very common-
place but the acting is up above the
ordinary movie standard. Eleanor
Boardman and Conrad Naegal are
well cast as the two lovers, but Will-
iam Haines carries away the honors
as the jilted suitor.
RIALTO—Betty Compson in proba-
bly the worst film ever made. Why
in the world they put out stuff like
paper man. (House Peters, who prob-
ably has grandchildren now.) ALSO
—show me an upright newspaper
man.
TEXAN—PLEASURE BUYERS
with Irene Rich looking very beauti-
ful. Clive Brooks is good as an ex-de-
tective, but he looks more like an
English nobleman than a New York
policeman.
The picture does not have the glit-
ter that the Btory by Arthur Somers
Roche contained. Also the interest in
the film is centered on those who were
minor characters in the novel,

Don Henderson Gets Good Laugh
Whan Bessie Meeton Palls
The Baptist Student Union gave a
skating party at the Y. W. C. A. last
Monday. Don Henderson laughed
every time Bessie Melton took a tum-
ble, and he declared her the hit of
the evening. But there were two
other candidates for this honor, Clif-
ford Burgland and Mike Spamplnato.
The party had supper and a weiner
roast.

injury inflicted upon him through an |
accident.. At the present time, there)
is ii" ready means of repair tor the |
injured part.
The establishment of a first aid
room tu take care of such cases would,!
indeed, be of vast use.
Several weeks ago, a student re-
ceived a severe cut on his finger; iti
was necessary to wrap the wound as J
hast ily as possible and then take the-
man to a -hospital.
Had there been at the Institute at
that, time an emergency room where'
cuts, bruises, and burns might be at-
tended to. the man with the injured"
finger would not have lost as much
blood, and he certainly would not 1
have incurred as great expense. I ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦♦♦'
ii would probably be advisable if i
possible, to keep it spotless, and to
employ some competent man to con-
duct the institution. The room and
service in the room, if there were
enough injuries on the campus.
would prove of value to some pre-
meds. wJ
Every year, there are girls that are
unfortunate in passing out in faints.
They, of course, could be carried to
this room for emergency attention.
Possibly such an institution as this
emergency room would be a needless
expense, possibly it would prove its
worth on the first day of its exist-
ence, but in a day such as ours, in
ft day of labor-saving devices, rapid
means of travel, and careless youths,
such a question as this, deserves great
attention.

For Camel makes

Camels never tire your

choicer tobaccos than
those in Camels.
So this night as the

colonnades of birches-

regardless of price.
Have a Camel!
Cameli contain the very choicest tobaccos grown in all the
world. Camels _ are blended by the world's most expert
blenders. N othing is too good for Camels. , In the making
of this one brand we concentrate the tobacco knowledge and
skill of the largest organization of tobacco experts in the
world. No other cigarette made is like Camels. They are
the overwhelming choice 6f experienced smokers.
