The Student Vagabond

Now that most of his fellow-residents of this Athens-on-the-Charles have joined the Vagabond in adding to the unemployment problem, he feels that a few suggestions for filling up the vacant hours may not be amiss. A successful evening demands a good meal to start it off, and his years of wandering have taken the Vagabond into many and curious places in search of the best in comestibles. The two which rank highest in his estimation are Cann's, where all kinds of sea food are at their best, and the Olympia, noted for its various delectable concoctions in the Greek style.

As for the next step, Boston stages and screens just now are largely filled with mediocrities of one sort or another. There is one attraction, however, that is worth a whole season of average productions. This is the movie of "All Quiet on the Western Front." It is the most powerful work that the art of the cinema has yet produced. There are action scenes that make previous war films seem tame, and the impressions made by some of its more dramatic moments are nothing less than overwhelming. Readers of the book need not fear a disappointment, for Remarque's story is made even more vividly real through effects that can only be gained by pictorial imagery. No one who has any chance of going should miss it.

If you have seen this great work, the list of other worth-while entertainments is short. The Vagabond suggests that the appearance of Will Rogers in person at the Met beginning tomorrow is a proper reason for rejoicing. Finally, there remain the always enjoyable Pops. The program for tonight follows: TONIGHT Prelude to "Carmen"  Bizet Overture to "The Flying Dutchman" Wagner En Sourdine  Tellam Fantasia, "Il Trovatore"  Verdi Finlandia, Symphonic Poem  Sibelius Ave Maria  Bach Gounod Ouverture Solennelle, "1812"  Tchaikovsky Selection, "Eileen"  Herbert Waltz "Vienna Blood"  Strauss Triumphal March from "Aida"  Verdi
