'Lost Horizon1 Screened
Today by Science Council
“Lost Horizon,” a Columbia
movie, starring Ronald Colman
will be screened today at two per¬
formances, scheduled for 4 and
8 p.m., by the Social Science
Council in Sexson Auditorium.
Price of admission is 25 cents.
Tickets will be on sale at the Tri¬
ton Booth all day and at the door
during the performance.
“Lost Horizon” features the ad¬
ventures of Robert Conway in
China and his search for Shangri-
La, a beautiful habitat. People
who enter this valley always re¬
main the same age as when they
first arrived. However, when they
desert the place of enchantment,
their youthful appearance is no
longer preserved.
“We urge all students to at¬
tend either showing of ‘Lost Hor¬
izon,’ ” stated Joanne Stanley,
president of the Social Science
Council. “They not only will en¬
joy an excellent movie, but will
also be helping to raise money
for scholarships to aid outstand¬
ing students in the field of social
science.”
