CHEVALIER COMING HERE IN THE SMILING LIEUTENANT; PRESS NOTICES FLATTERING Press reviews of Maurice Chevalier' latest screen success, The Smiling Lieutenant, which will be shown at the local Pala theater next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights, are highly flattering and indicate that local theater patrons have a delightful evening of entertainment in view. One such review is the following: Such rollicking happiness as was generated at the Bijou theater last night must be enjoyed! There Maurice Chevalier made love and sang, Ernst Lubitschs deliciously sly com- edy created roars, and Claudette Col- Iberts brunette beauty competed for favor with Miriam Hopkins' vivacious loveliness. The Smiling Lieutenant brings the inimitable and beloved Chevalier in a romantic comedy role such as he has never had on the screen; the kind of role that combines the wistful beauty of his part in Innocents of Paris with the gorgeous gaiety of his role in 'The Love Parade; with songs FIRST DAY ROUTINE MORE EASILY ACCOMPLISHED UNDER NEW SYSTEM BUSY SCENE AS STUDENTS ARRIVE Enrollment Monday at Escondido Union High School was effected with more ease and calmian has ever before been shown.

Student body tickets are already on sale and a spirit of activity is in the air W'hich promises that this year will see big things for the school in scholastic, athletic and social fields. It was a busy, merry scene as the term opened Monday morning, with the hundreds of students arriving, either afoot, in their own cars or in the big, new or newly-painted school busses from the more distant places. All teachers were in their places on the opening day. Regular classes begin Tuesday.
