VITAPHONE IS
HEARD BY MANY
Fans Pleased With ‘Talkie’
Inaugurated By Capitol
Theater
INAUGURATING a vitaphone
with “Broadway Melody,” the Capi
tol theater played to a capacity
house throughout Sunday.
The lobby was packed with a long
line practically throught the after
noon and evening and at times tick
et sales weer halted entirely. The
line began to form at the opening
of the first show.
While a dieing argument is being
waged over the country over the
relative merits of the silent pictures
and “talkies” it was easily apparent
that local theatergoers preferred the
latter. Not only in the throngs at
tending the show but in their com
ments after viewing “Broadway Mel
ody.”
Little mechanical difficulty was
encountered with the first showing
find John .Garza, operator, said the
machine was one of the best he has
handled. Finishing touches were
being pjft on the equipment Mon
day.
The Vitaphone installation seems
t ohave been as efficient as it was 1
rapid. Six experts rushed it, begin
ning work last Monday. The voices
covered the entire theater easily
and could be distinguished even to
the mot sremote seat in the house.
“Eroadway Mlody” has been hailed
by critics as one of the best hits
yet produced as a “talkie.” It is
a first run production, havihg been
shown only in large cities.
It gives an insight into the pro
duction of a Broadway show. It is
true to life, even to the hero taking
a drubbing from the Villian. In
this show Bessie Love and Anita
Page score success as “talkie” actors.
Experts Propose To
Speed Up Report of
Reparations Meet
PARIS, April 8.—(TPi—The ex
perts trying to solve the repara
tions problem have become t red of
the long drawn out pourparlers. It
is now proposed that hereafter the
committee go ahead at full steam
taking no more week-end holidays
until a decision is reached on which
a report can be drawn. The whole
committee agrees the work must lag
no longer.
Reports that the Germans alone
were responsible for previous de
lays are denied by other committee
men. There are good reasons to
suppose the German experts be
came eager to talk business ten days
ago after Owen D. Young, the
chairman, laid down the principles
calling for action.
The Germans, it Is said, in spar
ring for position, found the time
coming when they would have been
faced with the alternative of having
to go on indefinitely under the
present Dawes plan unless a
compromise settlement could be
reached.
Some of the experts now hope for
a decision before the end of the
week. After that several weeks will
be required to draw up a report.

Potato Growers
Urged To Leave
Crop In Ground
Produce buyers are of the opinion
that potatoes are stabilized at the
present price and that slow market
ing of the remainder of the crop
in the Valley may possibly result in
a considerable increase in the price.
Many of the larger growers are
said to be delaying digging as long
as the vines are in good condition
and the crop seems to be adding
weight.
Potatoes were bringing $2 per
hundred cash to the grower, accord
ing to Fred Dye, secretary of the
Rio Grande Potato Growers associ
ation.
“If our potatoes are marketed
slowly and left in the ground as
long as they are doing well, we
think there is a good chance the
price will rise.” said Mr. Dye.
There was no market for cabbage j
and what little was moving was i
bringing the grower about $6 per
ton.
Campaign In British
General Elections Is
Started By Liberals
LONDON. April 8.—(/P)—Cam- 1
paigning for the British general
elections on May 50 was launched
in earnest today by the major po- i
litical parties.
Nearly 1700 candidates for the
house ot commons today intensified
their individual campaigns.
The liberals, who are as yet the
only party to announce their full
platform, redoubled their efforts by
inaugurating a great vote-getting
campaign “from land’s to John O’
Groats,” raising the liberal battle
cry “we can conquer unemploy
ment.”
The conservatives and laborites
are not yet as active vocally as the
liberals but are just as busy behind
the scenes.

AIRMAIL AIDS
POSTAL GAINS
March Increase of 22 1-3%
Materially Bolstered By
Aerial Service
That the Valley is becoming air
minded is demonstrated by the 22
1-3 per cent gain shown by the
postal receipts here during March
over the same month of the prev
ious year. An analysis of the in
crease shows that it is due in large
part to the air mail.
Receipts for March, 1929 were
$5,777.24 as compared to $4722.24
for March 1928. This is an in
crease of $1,055.30. Sales of air- I
mail stamps and envelopes for the
past month show 8600 5-cent
stamps, 1150 10 cent stamps and
3750 stamped envelopes sold. This
represents $743.08 as compared to
only 250 10-ceat stamps sold the
previous March.
, The present record was some
what hampered due to lack of 5
cent stamps for several days. Most
of the sales were made since
March 7.
A gain of 5.6 per cent was shown !
bv the March quarter over the
same period of last year. These i
figures were $17,052.24 as compared !
to $16,138.93/
By months the receipts were: j
1928 1923
Jan. .. 6.124.22 6.216.95 92.73 inc. j
Feb. .. 6.202.47 5,057.75 234.72dec. I
Mar. .. 4.722.24 5,777.54 1055.30inc. j
Totals 16,138.93 17.052.24 913.31 inc. I
The February decrease was due :
in part to a shorter month in 1023
than in 1928.
Postal figures here have been
on a steady increase for some time
and officials expect the airmail to
continue to swell. A move is now
on foot to have the Valley star!
route connect with the northbound
plane cut of Brownsville at 1:25 j
p. m. This would lend further im-!
petus to the use of airmail, it is
believed.
The above figures do not include J
