THE RIMROCK ECHO 3 Movies Worth Seeing Katoya Players Elect Officers for Next Year Satterthwait, Korber Honor Roll Leaders t Bits of Wisdom \Rasputin\—Rene Tulop-Miller A sensational account of the life and character of Rasputin, \the holy devil.\ The author sets out to show that the holy devil—a sub- title borrowed ironically from a pamphlet against Rasputin by the monk Ilidor—was not as devilish as he has been made out to be. The author presents Rasputin as a com- paratively honest, simfple peasant. It is a play that is worth seeing, either for its story, as romantic and exciting as any novel, or for the fine picture it gives of the Czarist society in the last precipitous phase of its fall. The characters in the screen play are: Ralph Morgan as the Tsar; John Barrymore, the hero, a fictitious characted planned to win the sympathies of the audi- ence; Lionel Barrymore as Ras- putin; Diana Wynyard as \Princess Natasha\ another fictitious charac- ter and Ethel Barrymore as the Empress. The fact that the three famous Barrymores are here for the first time assembled in one play would alone prompt play lovers to see the production. It is to be seen at the Fox May 14-15-16.—Helen Worth. \Cavalcade\—NoeI Coward Unlike most pictures which are heralded as sensational, \Caval- cade\ lives up to its reputation and does not disappoint its audiences. It has a fine, consistent narrative, splendid, restrained acting, and good direction. Although the great events in England's national life from 1899 to the present, including the Boer War, Queen Victoria's funeral, the sinking of the Titanic, and scenes from the World War are shown, the story deals with the life of a typical English family, in- cluding the children and the ser- vants. The picture voices a strong but unspoken, protest against war by showing the effect of it upon the members of this family. Diana Wynyard, who plays the part of the mother of the family, gives a beau- tiful performance, which only slight- ly overshadows the fine work of Clive Brook, as the husband. The minor roles are well done, also. \Cavalcade\ is one of the few new pictures which is really worth see- ing.—Holly Waits. TEA FOR SENIOR GIRLS The members of the American Association of University Women were hostesses at a tea for the senior girls of the Eastern Montana Normal School at the Commercial Club, on Saturday afternoon, April 8. A part of the program was a playlet, \Betti Attitudes,\ given under the direction of Kiss Mar- jory Reynolds, in which the follow- ing students took part: Mother of 1812, Ivy Nelson; Daughter of 1812, Agnes Arrestad; Mother of 1890, Ruth Luckett, Daughter of 1890; Maude Kincaid; Modern Mother, Bernice Mettes; Modern Daughter, Virginia Lofgren. Miss Barden has purchased a new Chevrolet coupe, and if her plans work out she may drive home during the summer vacation. Election of officers who will serve until January, 1934, was the main business of the Katoya Play- ers at their meeting Tuesday, May 3. No Katoya activities are held during the summer quarter, but in accordance with the Katoya consti- tution, officers are elected in the spring and serve until the begin- ning of the winter quarter of the following year. William Giltner was reelected president; Neva Mc- Cullough was elected vice-president and Marie Borberg, secretary; How- ard Walters was re-elected treas- urer. Neva McCullough succeeds Grace Cain, and Marie Borberg, Helen Daniels. Other business transacted was the reading and approval of the treasurer's quarterly report and the reading of an agreement between the Katoya Players and Dr. McMul- len in regard to the Katoya prize of $10 for dramatics work. No def- inite plans for the spring breakfast were made. Leon Nelson and John Peterson played several duets, among them their famous \Goofus and John Peterson read a humorous prose selection. Parliamentary Drill in Previous Meetings At the April 4th and 18th meet- ings of the Katoya Players, most of the time was given over to practice in parliamentary procedure. The topics for discussion were, \Should we have more or fewer tests?\ and \Shall we form a Parent-Teachers Organization?\ A lively discussion developed from the latter, and a mock election of officers followed the formation of an association. ABBOTT SPEAKS AT P. T. A. At the monthly meeting of the Parent-Teachers Association at the Canyon Creek School on Thursday evening, April 20, Mr. N. C. Abbott of the Eastern Montana Normal School spoke on the historic spots in the Yellowstone Valley, placing special emphasis on those between Billings and Laurel. Miss Gene- vieve Spurgin and Miss Louise So- lem told several folk lore stories. Miss . Inez Waddell, accompanied by Miss Bessie Steele, played several violin solos. Miss Naomi Luckett and Miss Mona Houch, June '32 graduates of the E. M. N. S., are the teachers at the Canyon Creek School. Mr. Shunk says that the plant collections for Science 13 look very promising. The students of the six classes of this course have been work diligently on the collections. Each book must contain at least 7,5 specimens, but many have more than 125 different plants and flow- ers. A very interesting conference on Education Problems in Montana will be held at the State University at Missoula, July 5-7. Dr. McMullen will be one of the speakers. Winter quarter honor roll of E. M. N. S. listed 31 students, nine of whom are men. The proportion of men with high grades was out- standing when the total enrollment showed approximately nine women registered to every man student. Rhoda Satterthwait of Billings and Ruth Korber of Custer lead the roll, both having attained straight A averages. Miss Satterthwait was carrying 15 hours and Miss Korber 14. A solid A average has never before been attained at a regular session but Gerald FenIon made a similar record last year during a summer session. Following the two leaders were: Miss Elizabeth Briscoe, Cascade; Horace McBride, Billings; Annetta Zell, Shelby; and Idamae Alexan- der, Billings. Others on the honor list, ranked alphabetically, are: Margaret Ba- ker, Bridger; Marie Borberg, Bil- lings; Grace Cain, Vandalia; Mar- tha Calvert, Billings ; Juanita Davis, Willow Creek; Bess Deeney, Reed Point; Ethel Everson, Billings; Eu- gene Frates, Billings; Bill Giltner, Red Lodge; Mrs. Alice Gleason, Choteau; Lena Hedegaard, Savage; Mary Herak, Charlo; Willamae Hurst, Whitetail; Maude Kincaid, Glasgow; Lorene Laurie, Klein; Mary Lemmon, Farmington; Ruth Luckett, Wyola; Gilman McDonald, Butte; Jack McLean, Roundup; Agnes Olson, Livingston; Wilfred Orr, Billings; Johanna Richter, Edgar; Raymond Stevens, Forsyth; Howard Walters, Billings; Joe Weinschrott, Plevna. INTELLIGENCE TESTING AT FRATT SCHOOL Dr. Hines' class of 14 students in Psychological Testing is engaged in testing the children of the Fratt Memorial School. More than 75 pupils have already been tested and 50 more are to be tested before the quarter ends. The students now serving as examiners are: Margaret Arnett, Margaret Baker, Alice Clem- ent, Evelyn Cole, Maxine Ellithorpe, Alice Gleason, Ardell Kemnitz, Ruth Korber, Norman Larson, Horace McBride, Ruth Oie, George Rich- ardson, Bernice Roberts and Louise Solem. A representative from the na- tional headquarters of the Red Cross recently visited Billings and during his stay conducted an exam- ination of candidates to be autho- rized as Official American Red Cross Life Saving Examiners. Miss Stevenson was the only woman given the authorization and Mr. Bjorgum was one of five men auth- orized. All persons who become life savers at swimming resorts in this locality must pass an examina- tion given by one of the six exam- iners. A Movie Fan's Nightmare \The White Sister\ came \Smilin' Through\ to say \Farewell to Arms\ to \Gabriel Over the White House.\ \Today We Live,\ he whispered. \Tonight Is Ours,\ she replied. \Our Betters\ will say that this is a \Strange Interlude,\ but I'm like a \Pagan\—let us go to \The Island of Lost Souls,\ he pleaded. It would be like a \King's Vaca- tion,\ she mumbled, but I am not one of those who can have \No Man of Her Own.\ Then \Hot Pepper,\ the \Air Hostess\ will go with me, he threat- ened. As he strode out into \Forty-Sec- ond Street,\ she quaffed the \Bitter Tea of General Yen\ and fell upon the floor as cold and dead as \The Mummy.\ Miss Barden: \But I wasn't going forty miles an hour, nor thirty, nor even twenty.\ Officer: \Hey steady there, or you'll be backing into something.\ Oscar Wilde once said that ladies should \never eat anything but lob- ster salad.\ After examining the statistics on the number of buns eaten at the last luncheon, Mr. Stuber thinks there are no ladies in E. M. N. S. The boy left the farm and went to the city, where he did well and eventually got in the swim to some extent. A brother stuck to the farm. One day the farm boy got a letter from his city brother, and among other things it said: \Thursday we autoed out to the country club where we golfed till dark. Then we motored to the beach and Fridayed there.\ The farm boy wrote back: \Yesterday we flivvered to town and baseballed all afternoon. Then we went to Mead's and pokered till morning. Today we muted out to the cornfield and gee-hawed until sundown. Then we suppered and piped for awhile; after which we staircased up to our room and bed- steaded until the clock fived.\ Latest Pun George: \Celia is very dear to me.\ Louise: \How long have I been talking?\ Wilfred: \There is a calendar on the wall, I think.\ Bank President: \And why are you interested in working in a bank, young man?\ Young Applicant: \Well sir, I think that there's money in it.\ Francis Yerkes: \A friend told me I looked like you.\ Leon Nelson (with his chest in- flated): \And what did you say?\ Francis: \Nothing. He was big- ger than I.\ Horace McBride is a confirmed believer in luck. For otherwise, says he, \how on earth could I ex- plain the success of my enemies.\ t Iomm.o ■o■ ualwo.•=00■4 0■0 ■40 ■0■ 0■ •• 0■ 0 o o o o o o • ♦ FACULTY NEWS ♦
