"SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON" Featuring Thomas Mitchell, Edna Best, Freddie Bartholomew, Terry Kilburn, Tim Holt, Baby Bobby Quillan . . Produced by Gene Towne and Graham Baker; Distributed by RKO Radio. 4
While exploring the island, the family discover a grove of giant tamarind trees. Like a bolt out of the blue comes the inspiration: why not build a house in one of them? With a will and an enthusiasm that thrills the father's heart, the boys fall to and soon a big room is hewed out of the solid trunk of one of the tamarins... Life moves on for the castaways! Under the whip-lash of necessity, Elizabeth learns to cook, Jack and Fritz learn to care for the livestock, and even Ernest and the baby, Francis, do their share by making friends with the wild life that abounds in this island paradise.
But civilized habits are not easy to forget even under primitive conditions, and one day the family, urged by a nostalgic impulse, decide to stage a formal dinner party. Dressed in evening clothes which they had salvaged from the wreck, they attempt to call forth the ghosts of the past, but the gayey of the occasion is dulled when Elizabeth bursts into tears. . . Despite Elizabeth's unhappiness, William still hopes that she will come to realize what benefits have accrued to all of them by their life on this island. But he learns how completely he has misjudged her feelings when he sees her light a signal fire in the hope of attracting a passing ship. (Continued.)
Billiard Team Competes Against Nation Tonight
A team, composed of Lloyd Greene, Earl Kinney, Jack Tompkins, Dick Burgess, and Al Bracke, will compete in the national telegraphic pocket billiard tournament tonight with all of the student unions which are members of the National Billiard association. The meet will be held at 7:00 o'clock in the Men's Recreation room of the Memorial Union building.
These telegraphic tournaments are played with each team at its respective college. There is a key not of player is expected to make. From then on he shoots as many as he is able to make, and when he misses his turn is relinquished to the next player on his team. Scores are sent by telegraph to every other competing school, thus establishing the victor.
There are to be two more matches, one is the three-cushion billiards, March 11, and the other is a straight rail tournament March 25. In these two matches, there are 24 key shots for each man on each

team. Every participant shoots as many of these 24 as he is able to and the total scores are added and also sent out by telegraph to the opponents.
Participating for the fourth year in these contests, Kansas set up the following record last year, according to John Haslam, manager of the men's recreation room: pocket billiards, thirteenth; three cushion, ninth; and straight rail, sixth.
A medal for each member of the team winning any of the three matches in the national is the reward presented by the association. The medal is to be worn as a watch-fob, and contains a picture of a pair of crossed cues with several billiard balls.

Even Dancers—
(Continued from page one)
Frantz, Swanilda's lover, was taken by William Christensen, who also directed the choreography for the whole show. Having met Mr. Christensen earlier in the day and noting that his pate was even barer than most, we couldn't help but be shocked by the wavy, light brown wig he affected on the stage.
The second half of the program featured two scenes called, "In Vienna," which, except for the fine Strauss music, might just as well have been called "In Gay Paree," or "Sundown in Podunk." The "Vienna" scenes, however, were the most popular of the evening's program for they introduced more

Janet Reed, diminutive dancer, took the part of Swanilda. Though graceful and expert on her toes, many spectators felt that she had neither the grace nor dexterity of a danseuse dressed in green, who, for one short, sweet moment, held the center of the stage in a delightful solo.

slap-stick humor and gayer moods. Particularly popular with the audience were the four Can-Can dancers who displayed yards of pettecoats and heavy black garters in the approved can-can fashion.
In the whole show there were no outstanding danseurs, none that handled himself as though he floated through air instead of pushing the atmosphere aside to make room for himself. But the bevy of fine ballerine more than made up for the paucity of males.
