MET
The opening of the twelfth edition of
George White's "Scandals" occurs on
the stage of the Metropolitan Sunday
night. The engagement terminates on
Tuesday night.
The new "Scandals" marks the first
musical revue sponsored by George
White in almost four years.
In two acts and 40 scenes, "Scandals"
boasts such popular stage and cinema
luminaries as Willie and Eugene How-
ard and Helen Morgan. Others in the
company of more than 100 are George
Dewey Washington, Earl Oxford, Stan-
ley Twins, Sam, Ted and Hay, Richard
Lane, Estelle Krone, Gloria Rich and
Fnud Manatt. Featured is the ensemble
til 75 George White dancing beauties.
Four authors collaborated on tlie ma-
terial of "Scandals," Jack Ycllen in-
vented the lyrics and Ray Henderson
composed the musical score. The
sketches come from George White and
William K. Wells. Russell Markert
staged the ensemble numbers. The set-
tings are by Russell Patterson and the
costumes were created by Charles Le-
Maire.
MAJESTIC
A steel mill is the background for
"The Magnificent Brute," which opens
today at the Majestic. The picture stars
Victor McLaglen, Academy Award win-
ner, as a modern swashbuckler with an
eye for blondes.
"The Magnificent Brute," in spite of
its imposing background, makes no at-
tempt to solve any modern industrial
problems. It is simply the story of a big
man who is torn between two blondes.
Binnie Barnes is convincingly attractive
as a girl who delights in causing men to
fight over her. William Hall, a new-
comer to the screen, is the other man
in the case
Paralleling the struggle between the
two men is the striving for conquest be-
tween Binnie Barnes and Jean Dixon,
the second blonde. Both work pretty
hard on McLaglen.
Henry Armetta plays a featured role.
"The Magnificent Brute" is based on
Owen Francis' story, "Big," which ran in
Liberty. John G. Blystonc directed the
picture from the screen play written by
Owen Francis and Lewis R. Foster.
LOEWS
Tarzan, amazing character of the fic-
tion of Edgar Rice Burroughs, comes
back to the screen at Loew's this week,
as Johnny Weissmullcr and Maurceo
O'Sullivan arc reunited in "Tarzan
Escapes," Metro-Goldwyn-Maycr's latest
wild-animal venture.
Tarzan nearly gets back to civilization
this time. He is captured by a- "bring-
'cm-back-alivc" animal' collector who
locks him in a cage and plans to take
him to London to show him off to the
folks back home. But this being Tarzan,
and the name of the picture being what
it is, the jungle king outwits the villain-
ous son of civilization, and takes him-
self, his animals, and his girl friend back
to their forest home, to live undisturbed
for the next few years, we hope.
The picture, which was directed by
Richard Thorpe, has in its cast John
Buckler, Benita Hume, William Henry,
a herd of elephants, and some brand new
vampire bats, from whose clutches our
hero rescues a safari.
KIRBY
If W ill Rogers were to be remembered
for any single one of the many in-
imitable characterizations he brought to
the screen, his Abel Frakc, of "State
Fair," would probably be the one.
"State Fair" which will play a return
engagement at the Kirby starting' Satur-
day in answer to public request, pro-
vides Rogers the opportunity to bring
to the screen a role close to his heart—
a Midwestern farmer, in whose life the
big event of the year is the great state
fair.
In addition to presenting Rogers in a
character that was familiar to him, the
part also offers the beloved humorist
ample opportunity to get off some of the
Rogers wisecracks that made him fa-
mous.
Janet Gaynor, Lew Ayres, Sally Eilcrs,
Norman Foster, Louise Dresser, Frank
Craven, and Victor Jory also appear in
the cast.
PEACE MOVEMENTS
Continued from page I
to be cannon fodder for the next war,
they will have to crusade untiringly for
peace.
When questioned about the. attitude
students were taking in colleges he had
already visited, Mr. Lee replied that
while most students "will continue to
dance until their Waterloo," there are
small groups on each campus who are
intensely interested in creating peace
sentiment.
Judging from this claim of the Brew-
ery Gulch Gazette, it would seem they
don't have the same difficulty "The Daily
Texan" of Austin is having.

Baylor University has arranged to
have Ginger Rogers judge its annual
beauty contest. Pictures of the runners-
lip will be sent to Miss Rogers in Holly-
wood and she will mail back her choice.

Few things that grow require all
the care and cultivation it takes
to raise the mild, ripe tobaccos
in Chesterfield Cigarettes,
fr
Proper curing by the farmer
gives flavor to Chesterfield
tobaccos just as it does to
fine hams and bacon.
There is no higher standard
of tobacco quality than the
Chesterfield Standard.
w
Like fine wines, Chesterfield
tobaccos are aged for two
years or more to make them
mellow and better-tasting.
