Distinctive Features
Harlingen. Fob. 21—one of

similar event is expected to greet
the “Revue of 1929' to be presented
at the municipal auditorium here
Saturday matinee and night bv the
Southern Pacific Glee club of Hous
ton under the auspices by the local
Rotary. Lions and Kiwanis clubs.
Advance ticket sales, the commit
tees said today. wer° above expecta
tion*. indicating that the attendance
would come from all sections of the
Valley.
The cast of the Southern Pacific
Glee club show, numbering 151, with
more than 100 additional employes
of the company from Houston and
Victoria, will arrive aboard a special
train early Saturday morning, and
will immediately launch into their
preliminary rehearsal to be ready
for their first appearance at
matinee at 3 o'clock in the after
noon.
The three clubs, under whose aus
pices the show is being given, have
arranged to present preliminary
tickets to ail school children of the
Rio Grande Valley, and with it they
can be admitted to the matinee per
formance for twenty-five cents.
Tickets to all others will be $1 for
adults and 50 cpnts for children at
all performances.
Clubs Get Proceed*
The proceeds of the two shows
will be divided among the three lun
cheon clubs and will go into their
respective student loan and other
funds.
The “Revue of 1929'' which broke
all nrevious records for attendance
at Houston on Peb. 8-9. is presented
as a stellar production in musical
shows. Tills is the fifth year the
same cast has presented similar en
tertainments. thereby placing it
ahead of the amateur attraction. It
is replete with song and dance fea
tures. with a highly trained chorus
of beautiful girls working in groups
of 8. 12. and 20. Individual numbers
intersperse the two acts of one hour
each, while music is furnished by a
14-piece orchestra. Special elec
trical elects, with gorgeous costumes
and attractive scenery make each
presentation spectacular, while the
musical score which runs through
out the performance blends it into
one of the most charming shows
that has ever been presented in this
section of the state.
Many Novelty Features
Novelty dance features also take a
prominent part in the continuity, as
does the big negro minstrel which
marks the finale of the second act
In the latter there appear somi; of
the best male voices in the South,
with several comedy skits to add
more pep to the entire attraction.
Originality plays an important part
of the entire show, the general
theme, both in song and music be
ing adapted especially for the Rio
Grande Valley and the Southland.
The ensemble of 150 mixed voices
with which the show is brought to a
climax has been termed by critics in
Houston as the best blended song
number ever presented on a stage
in that city. These voices, all high
ly trained under one of the leading
song directors of the United States,
are exceptional in every respect.
A story runs throughout the play,
but spoken words, autslde of the
negro minstrel are few, the theme
being adapted to song and orches
tral accompanvment. The dazzle
and brilliance of the costuming also
fits well Into the theme, as do the
soecial dance numbers, which in
cludes two of the best tango dancers
in the Southwest.
Tickets to the two performances
have be*n placed on sale in all
towns of the Valley, while special
booths also will be installed at con
venient nlaces in Harlingen during
the lest two days of the week before
the show is given.

3 FILIBUSTERS
THREATENING
Appropriation Bills In
Senate Considered
In Danger
WASHINGTON. Feb. 21—(JV
In the closing days of the session
three questions are casting fili
buster shadows over the senate.
One is a difference in views over
the proposed $24,000,000 increase
for prohibition enforcement: an
other revolves around the navy de
partment measure carrying funds
for the cruiser construction pro
gram. and the third hinges on
the opposition of Senator Walsh,
democrat. Montana, to a provision
in the interior department bill
which would authorize the secre
tary of the interior to condemn any
privately owned lands in public
parks. All the bills affected are
appropriation measures.
The prohibitoin item was added
bv the senate to the first deficiency
bill, and republican leaders have
decided to let that bill die and to
leave the $24,000,000 out of the sec
ond deficiency bill. Senator Glass,
democrat. Virginia, has declared
that if this program is followed the
second deficiency bill would have a
hard time getting through the sen
ate. This was interpreted as a
filibuster threat bv the Virginian.
Yesterday Senator Blaine, repub
lican. Wisconsin, blocked an at
tempt bv Chairman Hale of the
naval affairs committee, to get the
naval bill before the senate. Later
in the day Senator Swanson of
Virginia asked for unanimous con
sent to take up the naval bill. Sen
ator Blaine, an opponent of the
but he agaih objected and for the
cruiser program, smiled genially,
second time it was decided that a
filibuster threatened.
Senator Walsh gave notice to the
senate that he would discuss at
some length the conference report
on the interior department bill.
The amendment giving the secre
tary of the interior power to con
demn privately owned lands In
nubile parks was added bv the
house. Senator Walsh said Repre
sentative Cramton of Michigan was
the man who insisted that the land
condemnation provision be placed
in the bill and he declared that if
the measure failed, responsibility
for the failure of the bill must rest
on Cramton.

today from its crater Halemaumau.
and providing a spectacle for hun
dreds of visitors here during the
height of Hawaii's social season.
From subterranean depths lava
and fire burst forth, hurling Jets
of flame 250 to 300 feet into the air.
The disturbance started about 4:30
a. m., Tuesday. At first two foun
tains spurted upward from the pit,
which is 3,500 feet across and 1.350
feet deep. Within two hours the
activity had increased until scores
of fire streams spread in long cracks
across the bottom of the lava pit
and broke through crevices in the
crater.
The watchman at volcano house
nearby was the first to note the
display. With a bugle he signalled
the people that an eruption had
begun. They gathered in throngs
to see the biggest show the islands
afford. Last night the spouting fire
illuminated Mauna Loa. a moun
tain towering 13.675 feet above the
sea a few miles west and north of
Kilauea. making, with its tropic
setting, a scene of grandeur.

Member Opposed
(Special to The Herald)
AUSTIN. Feb. 21.—Nearly 100
men and women of Yoakum ap
peared before the senate con.raittee
on governor's nominations Wednes
day night when a hearing of pro
test on the confirmation of Bank
ing Commissioner James Shaw set.
The hearing did not get under way,
owing to absence of attorneys for
the group which sought to oppose
Shaw, and was reset for March 1.
Mr. Shaw’s confirmation as bank
ing commissioner, to which he re
cently was reappointed by Gov.
Moody, was attacked on the ground
of “general Incompetence.” M. C.
Driscoll of Yoakum told the com
mittee. “The main idea is that
he’s too light for the Job.” Driscoll
said.
Woodville Rogers, former senator,
appearing as attorney for the bank
ing commissioner, said the Yoakum
group had been whispering char
ges.” ever since the closing of a
bank in Yoakum several months
ago. which was followed by the
closing of five other banks under
the same control.
Rogers said Commissioner Shaw
wants them to bring all the evi
dence they have, and he will meet
it.
