G. Allan Hancock, to the south Pacific group. The cinema ls coming to S.C. sponsored by the Graduate School, and will be free to Trojan students and faculty, a school spokesman said. Captain Hancock, Los Angeles patron of sciences who will appear in person at the show, is making his third visit to the university with educational films of his Galapagos cruises. The pictures to be shown here Wednesday, were taken on the expedition that sailed from Los Angeles harbor November 23, 1934, and returned March 1, of this year. Arrangements for showing the film at S.C. were completed through John Girth, graduate student, assistant in zoology, and a member of four previous Hancock voyages. Programmed with the movie is a I recital featuring the Velero ensemble, five musicians from the expedition’s staff. The same program was given before former Ecuadorian President Jose M. Velasco Ivarra in that official’s capital, Quito. The expedition was Ivarra’s guest last December. Results of the Hancock voyages have always been widely publicized, and last year the scientist-naviga-tor was partly responsible for clearing up the famous Galapagos “Garden of Eden” deaths. Several years ago, Captain Hancock sponsored Sir Charles Kings-ford-Smith’s epoch-making flight from San Francisco to Australia in the plane “Southern Cross.” A licensed pilot himself, the captain has had more than 700 hours in the air. Hancock is master of his own vessel, the cruiser Velero III, a railroad engineer, and owner of a small line in northern California, and was five years cellist and president of the Los Angeles symphony orchestra.

MANILA, Friday, Nov. 15 — (U.E) —The new Philippines Commonwealth, transition government created pending a grant of complete freedom from the United States, was proclaimed at 8:25 a.m. today with impressive ceremony. Tne commonwealth, which wili exist for a 10-year “probationary” period terminating July 4, 1946, with establishment of a totally independent nation, officially came into being when a proclamation by President Franklin D. Roosevelt of the United States was read from a flag draped reviewing stand. A warm sun and clear skies prevailed as an estimated 250,000 Der-sons jammed into P. Burgos avenue and square: beyond, overflowing the steps o the Philippine legislative building and confine: of the avenue to hear the historic pronouncement. Prior to reading of the formal proclamation Sccrc- Message read tary of War George H. Dcrn, official representative of President Roosevelt in the ceremony, delivered greetings of the American people to the people of the Philippine archipelago. “There’s something unique and inspiring in the spectacle of two peoples voluntarily agreeing to dissolve the bands which tie them and go their separate ways, and yet that is the event to which we now eagerly look forward as a final consummation of the program for the Philippine independence,” Secretary Dern declared. “We hope that the world, of course, will say of us that our work has been well done, but especially we hope that you people of these islands may continue to look with grateful appreciation upon the day that set this beautiful land under the sovereignty of thc United States and to feel that our sojourn here has been a benediction to you,” he said. Significantly, the new officers of the commonwealth not only took the oath of office as prescribed in the Philippine constitution, but also the oath of allegiance to the United States. Their act bespoke continuance of American soveriegnty pending complete Philippine independence. Following administration of the oath of office as First President of the Commonwealth, Manuel Quezon, silverhaired veteran of the battle for separation, delivered his inaugural address. Performances To Be Given Tonight, Tomorrow by Play Production* By Elsie Stephens In Touchstone theater last night at the opening of the first all-university stage performance “Outward Bound,” S.C. play productions department proved to be making headway in its ambition to establish a university theater comparable to those at Yale, Cornell, Iowa, and Washington. With a new lighting system of baby spotlights which can throw streamers of light from any angle of the stage, a smaller stage built of wood to facilitate the setting up of scenery, and with a production staff enthusiastically believing in the campus theater movement, Miss Florence B. Hubbard, supervising director of play productions, said Touchstone offers a much greater opportunity for dramatics than the large Bovard auditorium. Shows To Continue The “Outward Bound” cast will continue its performance tonight and tomorrow night before an audience composed of Hollywood film executives, S.C. faculty members, students, and off campus men and women interested in college dramatics. Fred Schuessler, casting director from RKO Radio pictures, and James Ryan, casting director from 20th Century Fox were among the film executives who attended last night’s performance in quest of talent for the screen. Taylor Attends Robert Taylor, new screen star who made a recent success in “Broadway Melody of 1936,” attended the production because of his interest in college dramatics. Taylor is a friend of Charles Lowe, a member of the "Outward Bound” cast who takes the role of the Rev. William Duke. For the last performance Saturday night, Los Angeles junior college has reserved a block of 50 seats. Irish Renaissance Treated * * * * * * * * Lecture Is Sponsored by Epsilon Phi * * * * * * * * * * * * Literature Discussed by Stephens By Margaret Berryhill Until recently the people cf Ireland were unconscious of the fact that there had been an Irish renaissance, stated James Stephens, noted poet and novelist, last night in his lecture sponsored by Epsilon Phi, honorary English fraternity. Had the American people not hinted the fact to their neighbors in England, Stephens feels that the renaissance as such would never have been considered to any marked degree. He summarized what he believes to be America’s general idea of the renaissance In a very few words. In poetry the literature contains a strange delight for the Irishman. Ireland in the past 150 years has produced fine lyric poetry, drama, and prose, and although other countries have offered their contributions in these fields it must be remembered that many of these authors studied at some time or another in Ireland. Such authors as Russell O’Sullivan and Yeast have helped to contribute background for the Irish renaissance and Stephens feels that much credit must be given to these men for their ideas regarding Irish realism and spirit. The speaker, who stated matter of factly that he does not belong to the modem age, but to what he refers to as the “horse age," the period when literature was written at a speed of six miles per hour, believes definitely that modem times are holding from the artists all subject matter, and without a subject, there can be no ideas nor emotions, both of which are necessary for story material A very interesting speaker, Stephens added wit as well as information to his comments. In conclusion he paid tribute to the late George Russell, noted Irish poet, whom he believes “deserves his rest now that he is gone, for no other man ever overworked himself, or over-produced such works as George Russell.” Stephens was introduced by Ed Safarjain, president of Epsilon Phi.

Bankers Break With New Deal At Convention NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 14 —<ILE)— A breach between American bankers and the New Deal was evident tonight as the American Bankers’ association adjourned its 61st annual meeting in an atmosphere of defiance of administration spokesmen, Marriner S. Eccles, chairman of the board of governors of the Federal Reserve system, delivered the parting shot for the New Deal: “If you want the government to get out of the banking business, then you must get Into it; lend money on mortgage paper to the people, instead of lending it to financial institutions, at a low per cent, thus enabling these institutions to lend it to their clients at a much higher per cent.” The bankers listened silently to Eccles at the closing sessions of one of their stormiest conventions since 1912. The Federal Reserve system which he represented is to become a virtual supreme court of finance under New Deal legislation. To vent their feelings, the bankers installed as their second vice-president, Orval W. Adams of the Utah State National bank, a severe critic of the administration who earlier this week suggested that the bankers declare an embargo on government bonds to halt “reckless spending of public funds.** Adams will succeed to the presidency in 1937 under the rotation system of the bankers’ association.

Three were killed by gunfire, one in the collapse of a stairway during a protest meeting, and a third died as a result of injuries.

Galapagos, world famed treasure islands and last stand of prehistoric monstrosities, will be brought to the screen in Bovard auditorium Wednesday in a motion picture recording the latest scientific expedition of Capt. G. Allan Hancock, to the south Pacific group.
The cinema ls coming to S.C. sponsored by the Graduate School, and will be free to Trojan students and faculty, a school spokesman said.
Captain Hancock, Los Angeles patron of sciences who will appear in person at the show, is making his third visit to the university with educational films of his Galapagos cruises. The pictures to be shown here Wednesday, were taken on the expedition that sailed from Los Angeles harbor November 23, 1934, and returned March 1, of this year.
Arrangements for showing the film at S.C. were completed through John Girth, graduate student, assistant in zoology, and a member of four previous Hancock voyages.
Programmed with the movie is a I
recital featuring the Velero ensemble, five musicians from the expedition’s staff.

Tne commonwealth, which wili exist for a 10-year “probationary” period terminating July 4, 1946, with establishment of a totally independent nation, officially came into being when a proclamation by President Franklin D. Roosevelt of the United States was read from a flag draped reviewing stand.
A warm sun and clear skies prevailed as an estimated 250,000 Der-sons jammed into P. Burgos avenue and square: beyond, overflowing the steps o the Philippine legislative building and confine: of the avenue to hear the historic pronouncement.
Prior to reading of the formal proclamation Sccrc- Message read tary of War George H. Dcrn, official representative of President Roosevelt in the ceremony, delivered greetings of the American people to the people of the Philippine archipelago.
“There’s something unique and inspiring in the spectacle of two peoples voluntarily agreeing to dissolve the bands which tie them and go their separate ways, and yet that is the event to which we now eagerly look forward as a final consummation of the program for the Philippine independence,” Secretary Dern declared.
“We hope that the world, of course, will say of us that our work has been well done, but especially we hope that you people of these islands may continue to look with grateful appreciation upon the day that set this beautiful land under the sovereignty of thc United States and to feel that our sojourn here has been a benediction to you,” he said.
Significantly, the new officers of the commonwealth not only took the oath of office as prescribed in the Philippine constitution, but also the oath of allegiance to the United States.
Their act bespoke continuance of American soveriegnty pending complete Philippine independence.
Following administration of the oath of office as First President of the Commonwealth, Manuel Quezon, silverhaired veteran of the battle for separation, delivered his inaugural address.
Performances To Be Given Tonight, Tomorrow by Play Production*
By Elsie Stephens
In Touchstone theater last night at the opening of the first all-university stage performance “Outward Bound,” S.C. play productions department proved to be making headway in its ambition to establish a university theater comparable to those at Yale, Cornell, Iowa, and Washington.
With a new lighting system of baby spotlights which can throw streamers of light from any angle of the stage, a smaller stage built of wood to facilitate the setting up of scenery, and with a production staff enthusiastically believing in the campus theater movement, Miss Florence B. Hubbard, supervising director of play productions, said Touchstone offers a much greater opportunity for dramatics than the large Bovard auditorium.
Shows To Continue The “Outward Bound” cast will continue its performance tonight and tomorrow night before an audience composed of Hollywood film executives, S.C. faculty members, students, and off campus men and women interested in college dramatics. Fred Schuessler, casting director from RKO Radio pictures, and James Ryan, casting director from 20th Century Fox were among the film executives who attended last night’s performance in quest of talent for the screen.
Taylor Attends Robert Taylor, new screen star who made a recent success in “Broadway Melody of 1936,” attended the production because of his interest in college dramatics. Taylor is a friend of Charles Lowe, a member of the "Outward Bound” cast who takes the role of the Rev. William Duke.
For the last performance Saturday night, Los Angeles junior college has reserved a block of 50 seats.
Irish Renaissance Treated
* * * *
* * * *
Lecture Is Sponsored by Epsilon Phi * * * * * * * * * * * * Literature Discussed by Stephens
By Margaret Berryhill
Until recently the people cf Ireland were unconscious of the fact that there had been an Irish renaissance, stated James Stephens, noted poet and novelist, last night in his lecture sponsored by Epsilon Phi, honorary English fraternity.
Had the American people not hinted the fact to their neighbors in England, Stephens feels that the renaissance as such would never have been considered to any marked degree.
He summarized what he believes to be America’s general idea of the renaissance In a very few words. In poetry the literature contains a strange delight for the Irishman. Ireland in the past 150 years has produced fine lyric poetry, drama, and prose, and although other countries have offered their contributions in these fields it must be remembered that many of these authors studied at some time or another in Ireland.
Such authors as Russell O’Sullivan and Yeast have helped to contribute background for the Irish
renaissance and Stephens feels that much credit must be given to these men for their ideas regarding Irish realism and spirit.
The speaker, who stated matter of factly that he does not belong to the modem age, but to what he refers to as the “horse age," the period when literature was written at a speed of six miles per hour, believes definitely that modem times are holding from the artists all subject matter, and without a subject, there can be no ideas nor emotions, both of which are necessary for story material
A very interesting speaker, Stephens added wit as well as information to his comments.
In conclusion he paid tribute to the late George Russell, noted Irish poet, whom he believes “deserves his rest now that he is gone, for no other man ever overworked himself, or over-produced such works as George Russell.”
Stephens was introduced by Ed Safarjain, president of Epsilon Phi.
