SIDELIGHTS I
PALACE — McALLEN
“Never outwit your audience” was
once a standing rule for all directors
of motion pictures but, in “The
Studio Murder Mystery,” the auth
ors, The Edingtons, and Frank Tittle
the director-adaptor, have tried
hard to do so and they believe they
have succeeded in baffling any au
dience.
“Mystery pictures, such as ‘Some
thing Always Happens’, ‘Interfer
ence.’ ‘The Dummy’ and ‘The Canary
Murder Case,’ which trick and baffle
spectators down to the final scenes,
betrayed this ancient phobia.” says
Tuttle. “These mystery pictures
which have kept audiences guessing
as the action progresses have won
universal approval and ‘The Studio
Murder Mystery’ is the best one yet.”
“The Studio Murder Mystery,”
wrhich is showing at the Palace the
ater in McAllen, is Paramount’s lat
est all-talking thriller and the story
is laid almost entirely on the talking
picture-making stages of a Holly
wood studio.

Vast and thronging are the scenes
and situations of “Noah’s Ark.” The
love story that runs through it is
glamorous and moving.

f Chicago twenty-five years ago—a
w-indy, roaring, bustling city of the
west—seething with activity—a city
of gambling houses, music halls, re
sorts and cabarets—broad-beamed
cattlemen, wild spenders after sell
ing trainloads of steers at the stock
yards—a city where life was lived
for today with never a thought of
the morrow.
In “Show Boat,” Universal's gi
gantic super talking picture, which
is coming to the Capitol theater
Sunday, with Laura La Plante, Jo
seph Schildkraut and Otis Harlan
featured, just such a Chicago is
shown. Seme of the biggest scenes
of the production are laid in the fa
mous Jopper’s Music Hall and a no
torious, palatial gambling den of
twenty-five years ago. All the ro
mance, glamour and fanfare that
was Chicago is seen in Universal’s
production of Edna Ferber’s best
selling novel.
There are burlesque ladies, remi
niscent of the famous Hudson Beef
Trust, in their spangles and gawdy
tights: Little Egypt, the original
hootch dancer, writhing and twist
ing on the stage before a polyglot
gathering: everything that went to
make up the variety show of a
quarter century ago. And there,
also, is Magnolia singing the darky
melodies she learned on the Mis
sissippi river Show Boat as a child.
The next step was the getting of
the proper types to use in the
scenes. But this was all in the day’s
work. Sketches and photographs
■were secured and costumes ordered.
Mutton chops and various other hir
sute adornments were popular with
the men of those days and Universal
was forced to engage a battery of
makeup experts to apply spirit gum
and facial foliage.
Harry Pollard directed this super
production v/hile the supporting cast
includes Alma Rubens, Emily Fitz

Jane La Verne. Blanche Craig.

The county Jail has one prison
er so sure of himself that he helps
himself to two ties and a pair
of trousers right from under the
jailer’s nose and almost got away
with it.
His name is Arnulfo Gonzales
and he has quite a record in his
line of work, which is carrying
off things that do not belong to
him and when other people know
nothing about it. He has done
time in Monterre' and in Mexi
co’s Tres Islas Marias’, dreaded
palce where exiles while away
the days.
Judge B. L. Cain, however, con
vinced him that it is carrying
things a bit far to practice such
tricks in the place where he is
being detained for a similar of
fense. His fine and costs to
taled $66.50. It was a smart at
tempt at that. The prisoner be
lieved he would be deported in a

Mercedes Will Soon
Have New Ice Plant
150-Ton Capacity
MERCEDES, July 19.—In an an
nouncement made this week, Frank
Ludden, district manager of the
Central Power and Light company,
states that his company has pur
chased land and will at once begin
the construction of a new ice plant
jn Mercedes. He states that the
equipment has been purchased, and
that the architect is now making
up plans for a structure to house a
plant of 150 tons daily capacity.
The new plant at Mercedes to
gether with the company’s present
plant will have a total capacity of
200 tons of ice per day, which
amount is more than would have
been required to supply the local
Mercedes requirement during the
past season. However, in accord
ance with the company’s policies,
additional capacity is planned tc
provide for anticipated future
growth at this point.
The Central Power and Light
company realizes, so Mr. Ludden
states, that the production of vege
tables in the Lower Rio Grande
Valley is of utmost importance to
its present prosperity and future
growth, and probably no other sin
gle commodity necessary to the
placing of the vegetables on the
market in a satisfactory condition
is as important as a supply of ice
sufficient to meet the fluctuating
demands required for the proper
icing of vegetables. It has been and
will continue, in the future, to be
the company’s policy to provide fa
cilities necessary for the protection
cf its customers interests.
