* TOWN HALL. “Varsity,” Charles (Buddy) Rogers’ first starring Paramount picture, showing at the Town Hall on Wednesday, is unusual, in that, although a picture of college life, it. contains none of customary embellishments which 'have hitherto appeared on the screen as character-, istic of college life. It does not show any football scenes, or scenes of any climatic athletic event. It lias no dean’s daughter to encourage the. hero. Ukeleles are missing entirely, and there are, no references to clubs, fraternities or any undergraduate social system. Back-slapping and tricks on professors are omitted, and “kollege kut klothes” find no market, “Varsity” is a story with a background of college life as it, is. With “Stop •Kidding” (Comedy), “Opening Australia’s Capital” (Canberra), and News. Usual prices. 'The power that clothes sometimes exert on the young shop girl is vividly pictured bv Madge Bellamy in her latest role in “The Play Girlj” showing on Friday. This is a sprightly comedy-drama with Johnny Mack Brown and a cast of screen favourites supporting the star. Usual prices. “The Heart of a Nation,” is Saturday’s big attraction.
