CAPITOL
Youth has its fling in Clara Bow’s [
newest all-talking picture, “The
Saturday Night Kid,” now showing
at the Capitol, for as usual the
dazzling little bon-fire from Brook
lyn is supported by a cast of popu
lar young players.
There are Janies Hall, who play
ed with her hi “The Fleet’s In”;
Jean Arthur, who was seen most
recently in “The Greene Murder
Case”; Frank Ross, youthful young
Long Island realtor whose singing
voice won him a screen contract;
Eddie Dunn, also seen with Miss
Bow in “The Fleet’s In”; Leone
Lane, Jean Harlow and others.
Miss Bow is the hard-working
little shop-girl, serious-minded but
glowing with “pep,” who falls in
love with James Hall, young clerk
who is advanced to an enviable po
sition—that of floor-walker. Clara’s '
younger sister. Jean Arthur, ob-1
serves Hall's apparent ability to
advance to high position In the
firm, and decides to win him for
herself.
There follows a series of stirring
sequences in which the love-boat
barely escapes the perils of rocky
villainies many times. But the fi
nale is one that satisfies the mil
lions of ardent Bow fans.
“The Saturt>^ Night Kid” Is now
showing at the Capitol.
TEXAS
What is declared to be Milton
Sills' greatest characterization since
"The Sea Hawk’’ is to be seen at
the Texas theatre here beginning j
Thursday, in "Burning Daylight,” f
the First National version of Jack
London’s dramatic and spectacular
novel of Alaska.
Sills, as the prospector who Is
famous all over the northland for
his daring, strength and vision,
dominates the story with his virile
personality. "Burning Daylight" j
has as it background the frozen
north, with the gold rush to Daw
son as its particular setting.
Nowhere in the literature that
has been written about the Alaska
of those days, could be found a
.story more easily adaptable to mo
tion pictures, and from it First
National has made a sweeping,
dramatic story.

LARGE POULTRY
PLAN
About 1,500 Birds Will Be
Displayed At Valley
Fair
«*PT.mr*EN Nov. 7—The poul
try Industry of the Valley has
reached such proportions, and the
Valley fair such magnitude, that
the time has ccme to expand rap
idlv and make the poultry show
of the Valley Mid-Winter fair one
of the biggest in the south, in the
opinion of J. W. Kirkpatrick of
Edinburg, chairman of the poultry
department.
Mr. Kirkpatrick is county home
: demonstration agent of Hidalgo
county.
•*In the past we have not en
couraged outside exhibitors in plac
ing birds at the Valley Fair,” Mr.
Kirkpatrick said. “We have wait
ed until accomodations could be
sufficient to handle them, and until
| the Fair reached proportions to
! justify them.
“In view of the rapid growth
of the Valley Fair during the past
year, we feel that the fair this
year, November 26 to December 1,
will Justify this expansion.
“The fair management has as
sured us sufficient room and help
to take care c. the birds, and we
are throwing the gates open. I
was at the State Fair at Dallas
recently, and have been assured
that many birds exhibited there
will be shown in the Valley”
Mr. Kirkpatrick said that a
total of from 2,H0 to l,5u0 birds
will probably be placed on display
this year, making the Valley Fair
poultry show one of the largest in
the state.
