"HENRY GOES ARIZONA" ‘6S I) The story reveals a curious beauty of chivalry and courage, mingled with the cruel groed of human nature which is equally ageless. It is entertainâ€" ment of a hish order. The characters belong to the past, but their qualitics are as mcodern as theâ€"latest news bulâ€" letins. Whether the Hussars today would welcome an abolition of the old custom is doubtful, for it is regarded as someâ€" thing of a regimental trademark. Cerâ€" tainly, other regiments would notâ€"willâ€" ingly part with their own ceremonies and traditions. Many of the customs are rights as well as rites. Their Privilege Let any regiment, apart from a cerâ€" tain four, march through the City of London with flags flying and bayonets fixed and there will be trouble. This is the privilege of only the Grenadiers (3rd Battalion), the Royal Pusiliers, the ‘Bufls, and the Gloucesters (2nd Battalion). * The Guards have another customâ€" the carrying of a laurel wreath on November 5. This ceremony has no connection with the Gunpowder Plot of :1605. It is of eonsiderably more recent origin for it commemorates the valor shown by members of the regiâ€" ment at Inkerman in 1854. Several other British regiments have adopted the same custom, though it is oserved on different dates and relates to other battles. Most Canadian scecldiers who fought in Flanders between 1914 and 1918 will be aware of the unofficial custom of sticking a poppy or a wild rose in the headgear. Yet the idea was not new at that time. They owe their distinction to the fact that they have strong connections with the old trainâ€"bands of the city, and they still consider that guarding central London is their special right. perate battle that follow:s, Richard is carried from the action on his shield. The order was intended to bring inâ€" dignation and ridicule «upon the old regiment, and there is no doubt that it was meant to be only a temporary comâ€" mand. Yet the imposition was never lifted. (By Arthur Netterly) London.â€"The British army is comâ€" paratively speaking, a modern instituâ€" tion, and its customs are therefore not real antiquities. Nevertheless, they are numerous encugh to place the British soldier high in the list of folk who subscribe to traditions and who make a fetish of ritual. Many army rituals are confined to individual regiments. Often they perâ€" petuate the part played by that regiâ€" ment in some important engagement. Péermission to observe the custom has been given "for services rendered." But there is at least one British regiment with a peacetime rite which was imâ€" posed as a punishment. The Hussars concerned had a band of which they were very proud, and it was noted for its rousing music. Welâ€" lington therefore commanded that the regimental music should in future inâ€" clude a hymn tune! The hymn played by the band of the 13th Hussars today is a survival of that curious command. During the Peninsular wars of the early 19th century the Duke of Wellâ€" ; ington was annoyed by certain misdeeds | perpetrated by the 13th Hussars. It! was impossible to impose individual penalties so Wellington devised a regiâ€" mental one. British Battalions Have Some Unusual Customs and Rites Why the Hussars PIlay Hymn Tune.

WELLS in "MY SON IS GUILTY" AWN UOF THE NORTH" ADDED SHORTS ADDED SHORTS "Paramount News November 11 is the date of an annual celebration by the 2nd Battalion of the Dorsetshires, but it has nothing to do with the Armistice of 1918. It dates tback to 1802, for it commeinorates the valor displayed by the regiment ¢n November 11 in that yvear. This celebration, indeed, is rather unique among army rites. The bravery was displayed at sea, and not on land! The Dorsetshires were aboard the troopship Sarah Sands ‘when the vessel caught fire and the crew muiinied. But the regiment tock charge and brought Strange Custom One of the strangest regimental cusâ€" toms concerns the Scots Guards. They use no finger bowls at mess. The cusâ€" tom dates from Jacobite days when Scottish supporters of the Old Preâ€" tender had a secret rite to signify their support for the claimant to the throne. The Suffolk Regiment uses a yellow rose, and they decorate the drum as well as their hats. The King‘s Own Yorkshire Light Infantry uses a white rose and other regiments use a red one. There are also other ‘Rose Days" in the British army. St. George‘s Day (April 23) is among them. They secretly heid their wine glasses over their finger bowls, thnus signifying a toast to "the King cver the water." so that the Scots Guards could not take part in this ritual, they were denied the use of finger bowls. ui ui uts 2t n 2t ,® i n i i is s n s c a * 2 ol i in in i snn sn s a a" #u 2% 2 .* ®, foalealoclee ue‘ oo o4 oo it es oo o0 oo e _ on 44. ooobooooooooooooo:ooooroooouco.oo 9 This particuiar custom is not conâ€" fined to the Borderers, several other regiments having adopted a flower as an emblem of Minden Day. Roses of different colours are used, however, so that some distinction exists. Nearly 150 years ago, a British regiâ€" ment qualified for an official decoration of the same sort. During the angageâ€" ment at Minden, Prussia, in 1759, the Szcottish Borderers used roses in exactly the same way as the "Tommies" in the 1914â€"1918 Great War. In order that their bravery should not be forgotten by future generations of Borderers, the regiment began to wear a rose in their caps on August 1 each year, the anniâ€" versary of their fight at Minden. bo'_oAfo e®estan®tastas‘o."eates*an‘se Starringâ€"BARBARA STANWYCK and FRED MacMURRAY SHORTSâ€""Happy Tots Expedition" "Old South" Universal News Starringâ€"CHESTER MORRIS, ANN DVORAK and RALPIH BELLAMY ADDED SHORTS STARRINGâ€"BETTE DAVIS, ERROL FLYNN AND DONALD CRISP "Community Sing" and Fox News _ Mascioli Theatre, Schumacher Starringâ€"BORIS KARLOFF, BASIL RATHBONE and NAN GREY PLUS: SHORTS and NEWS LAST SHOWING TOâ€"NIGHTâ€"THURSDAY, MARCH 13TH "REMEMBER THE NIGHT" SUNDAY MIDNIGHT (12%.15) MONDAY AND TUESDAY MARCH 17th, 18th and 19th wWEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY, MARCH 20th and 21st NEW EMPIRE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, MARCH 15th and 16th Last Showing Toâ€"Nightâ€"Thurs., March 14th "V ACATION FROM LOVE" Friday and Saturday, March 15th and 16th "STAGE COACH" Adults ..;.:.;..;.;,.; 20¢ Children"> :...;...:... 10c Wednesday and Thursday, March 20, 21 "SPRING MADNESS" "COMMUNITY PRICES" EVERY DAY AT THE NEW EMPIRE THEATRE, _ MATINEE EVENING Sunday Midnight (12.15), Monday and Tuesday, March 17, 18, 19 Starringâ€"MAUREEN (SULLAVAN, LEW AYRES and RUTH HUSSEY Paragraphicâ€""CIRCUS COâ€"ED" Shortâ€""GOING PLACES" No. 54 Serialâ€"â€""HMHAWK OF THE WILDERNESS"â€"No,. 9 Starringâ€"FLORENCE RICE, DENNIS O‘KEEFE Varietyâ€""THE CRAWFORDS AT HOME" Technicolourâ€"*"TUNUSUAL OCCUPATIONS" No,. 4 Serialâ€""HAWK OF THE WILDERNESS" No. 8 Starringâ€"JOHN WAYNE, CLAIRE TREVOR and ANDY DEVINE Cartoonâ€"**SAILOR MOUSE»" Starringâ€"JOE E.
