THE STUDENT VAGABOND

It may be safely announced at last that the season has turned for good. Rain has become the mild, innocuous shower bath that characterizes spring downpours, the baseball nines are in the field, the crews crowd the river, and the Vagabond has purchased a pair of vivid socks. Such indications are not to be scorneu, but the skeptic may definitely convince himself of the season by noticing his fellows during the lectures. Despite the best intentions, every eye wanders to the windows, attention follows the eyes, and then goes farther afield to the mountains, shore and great open spaces in general.

A most pleasant motion picture has been in town lately. At present it may not be showing, but it will certainly reappear next week. It is "The Show", featuring John Gilbert and Renee Adoree, the inimitable pair of "The Big Parade."

To our mind the whole performance of these two, ably supported by Lionel Banrymore, represents a high point in cinema art. For once, in "The Show," we have a hero who is not the ideal of the author of the Rover Boy series, a type taken over bodily by the "movies", Gilbert portrays a man who is a thorough sconndrel, and yet somehow likeable despite that fact, and he portrays the part with a very deft touch.

The action takes place in a sort of freak and side show in Vienna, and is compact and admirably simple.

D. M. Keiser '27, who is giving a pianoforte recital this evening at 8.15 o'clock in Paine Hall, has selected a very worth while programme for his concert, including Beethoven's Sonala in A-fiat major, opus 26. Tickets may be obtained at the door.
