ROXY
TWO BIG TALKIES A cross section of college life is graphically portrayed in an all-talking drama of the campus, entitled “The College Coquette,” to be shown at the Roxy Theatre from today. All. the incidents that linger in the memory long after graduation and serve to make college days the happiest in a person’s whole life have been caught by the camera. The thrill of the football skirmish, the cheering for the homo team, the pi'actice matches, the training in the gym, the fellow who got “peeved” with his chum for cutting in on him when he was dancing with his best girl, and the initiation into the mysteries of college life and the various societies are included as backgrounds for an appealing drama of the friendship of two girls and the boys they each admire. Under the skilful direction of George Archainbaud, “The College Coquette” is reported to be one of the most natural campus pictures to reach the screen. The location sequences were taken at Occidental College in California and in many of them the students and faculty participate, giving an atmosphere impossible to obtain otherwise. “Father and Son.” the second big attraction, is a part-talking picture starring Jack Holt and Dorothy Revier. It is a drama of an unselfish father’s love.
