The story, by Tom Barry, fam

The Mexican who returns voluntar
ily to his country has a right to ask
| Inter to be admitted to the United
Stater, but for that he needs to
comply with each and every one of
the requirements that the said law
of Immigration and Its rules may
show. In other words, previous res
idence in this country does not fa
cilitate return, nor will it be taken
into account at all.
6— Among the requirements that
must be filled In order to be re
admitted to the United States, must
be mentioned the following: to pre
sent to the American consul, two

ciations of the place saying that he
has not received charity: letter
from the local Mexican consul or of
the district, that he has not received i
f.-cm the Mexican government, any
pecuniary aid or money, in order to
repatriate himself. He will also]
present cash money that in the
judgment of the American consul
r.:ay be sufficient to supply his
wants, as far as the place to which
he is going. The amount of the
consular visa is $10 per person, re
gardless of age. When the consular
visa Is obtained, the Immigrant is
submitted to sanitary Inspection and

healthy, must have observed good
conduct, and know how to read, but
the poor of reading is demanded

There Is a further payment of $8

Colleen More Calls
‘Lilac Time’ Story
Of Actress’ Dream
“Lilac Time" Is the sort of story
that motion * picture actresses
. dreams are made of. according to
' Colleen Moore, who comes to the
Texas today in the screen version
of Jane Cowl’s stage triumph.
When Mi's Moore and John Mc
Cormick, who produces her pic
tures. read the play manuscript of
“Lilac Time." they both knew In
stantly it was the story of which
they had dreamed, but hardly
dared hope to find.
Its spirit of youth, its tender
ness and its glowing romance grip
ped them as no other story had
ever done. The screen rights were
purchased and Willis Goldbcck as
signed to adapt the story for mo
tion picture production, with Carey
Wilson preparing the script.
“Lilac Time” is a George Fitz
maurice production for First Na
tional Pictures, and tells of the ro
mance of a little French girl and
a reckless young British war avi
ator. In the opinion of critics, it
more than Justifies the producer’s
judgment and the many months
spent in filming it.
