Drooping D Mhat Virgil Pinkley Thinks {Continued from page 70) campus gossip, this story, of what students of the University of Southern California think of motion picture stars and the pictures they play in, is authentic. Upon close observation and personal conversation with co-eds and eds, we find that Charles Farrell, Richard Arlen, Ronald Colman, George O'Brien, and Richard Barthelmess are the most popular actors with the mass of university students. Among the co-eds Buddy Rogers also comes into this select group. He is one of the most regular fellows you could meet. Janet Gaynor, Clara Bow, Joan Crawford, Mary Brian and Sue Carol are the favorite actresses, with Norma Talmadge and Norma Shearer also winning quite a few votes among the women. These stars seem to have an appeal which college students take to as they do their heavy dates. "Most men are weak when a woman pleads with them, but not Charles Farrell. It's pathetic the way he slays girls. They all like him," said a pretty senior co-ed. Another campus favorite among fraternity men says, "Gee, but this Buddy Rogers is sweet! I hate to see him play in pictures like 'Red Lips' and 'Varsity.' No girl wants a bum and a drunk for her hero, and if he does drink she wants him to be twofisted about it." Dick's Devotees HERE'S another personal opinion of a young lady: "They can have their John Gilberts and the rest of them, but the man I like to see on the screen is Richard Arlen. His face, to me, has character and he seems so human. I would like to date with a chap like Arlen. Is he a honey in sport clothes!" The fellows aren't afraid to say what they think of the leading ladies of the screen. "I'll be frank. When I go to a movie, I want to be entertained. I like to see Clara Bow do her stuff, and she always makes me feel good all over. She has everything a fellow wants to see in a real good sport." A football player says, "Clara Bow can act. She has the zip and pep that most people on the screen lack. If she stood among a group of girls on a campus, I'll bet every sorority would give her a big rush. She clicks every time you look at her." One of the best known rushers and steppers on the campus, a Kappa Sig, who has more women wanting to go out with him than fraternities have Phi Beta Kappa members, says, " If I wanted a girl to pal around with, a good sport who would be the life of the party, I would like to date Joan Crawford. "Janet Gaynor or Mary Brian is the type I would like to take to my home, and would be proud to introduce as my wife. They are sweet. I think Miss Gaynor has more human appeal than any other person I've ever seen on the screen. For a sweet, demure girl who has depth, I like Mary Brian." Their Favorite Films COLLEGE students go to see motion pictures, first because of the entertainment they oflfer, second to see their favorites, and third because the picture is a great epic. Professors of economics, history and sociology often refer to pictures in their lectures. When " Metropolis " was showing, every economics professor spoke about the picture. "The Big Parade," "The Ten Com-; mandments," "Beau Geste," "Seventh Hea\'en " and "Wings" are given by students as the five greatest pictures. "Dancing Daughters," "The Freshman," "Harold Teen," "Four Sons," "The Patriot," "Underworld," "Lilac Time," "Telling the World," "Sunrise," "The Noose," "Forgotten Faces" and "The Singing Fool " are pictures which a large number enjoyed. One sophomore Sigma Alpha Epsilon said, "To me the greatest trio I ever saw on the screen was Ronald Colman, Neil Hamilton and Ralph Forbes in ' Beau Geste.' That picture was the best I've ever seen." A group of Sigma Chi's consider "The Big Parade" the best war picture. They were especially impressed with the sound effects and aeroplane formations in "Wings." A Delta Gamma pledge says about "Lilac Time," "I liked Gary Cooper and Ithink he stole the picture from Colleen | Moore. Gary isn't handsome, but he's] inanly. He is a master at suppressed love. I don't like to see these sleek-haired, weak] looking men on the screen." What H. Monte Harrington Says (Continued from page 70) Add ress if $1,118 Is Include 1 with order, we pay postage. elite producers persist in believing that the home varsity always comes from behind in the last minute of play, stages a brilliant series of line bucks, and wins the game with a ninety-nine yard pass. Our profs are not the nit-wits we see on the screen. The hero does not always choose a bookworm for his chum; in fact, he is ashamed when seen with an intellectual whose back has been broken from carrying too many books. Besides, "greasy grinds" have been relegated to the limbo of the forgotten; university students know that only the well-rounded man can hope to be anything in this life of deadly activity. We hate the blare and blah of movie advertising, the shallowness of press agents, who would have us believe their stars are sweet-smelling gods and goddesses. We revolt against the sticky sentimentality with which most directors saturate their work, the superficial iridescence which we know to be tinsel. We go on hating these and a thousand other things in the movies — but we will go tonight to see the wettest melodrama of the season. We will go tomorrow^ night and every other night we get the ' chance. Cheap But Interesting THIS is nothing more than proof thatJ college students aren't much different! from other people. Our sophistication,! which is always carried to an extreme inj public, becomes a shadow within the crypt of some three-million-dollar show palace,! where all the evils of sin are being drama-r tized to the loss of their own respectabilityj Regularly, three times a week, the co-ed daubs her eyes with inascaro and then washes it oft' with tears when the blonc man-of-her-dreams knocks the villain out of the window, to kiss the willowy heroine and save her virtue. Cheap, yes. But human. But we see more than tears, laughter and good money in the movies. It i^ only a question of a few years when mucl; of our education will be taught visually. 84
