And, Incidentally, they aro discovering why girl students prefer tho athletic boys to tho clever ones. Buster Keaton provides tho enlightenment in his spectacular comedy, "College." Xho frozen-faced star starts out ns a booktvorm, a university highbrow do luxe, and ho winds up as a. bone-breaking, fire-breathingi •varsity star. Ho docs not become an athlete because he particularly likes strenuous sport, tut because his sweetheart shames him into an ambition for physical prowess. "College" is a real comedy and a picturo with a story which holds the spectators' interest all the time. Tho cslimax of "College" is a boat raco in which Keaton, as a coxswain, blunders hia crew to Tictory while thousands of spectators look on. Among tho actors and actresses who sharo laurels in Keaton's supporting cast aro Ann Cornwall, tho comedian's leading lady; Grant Withers, and Florence Turner.
