I MOVIE
IsioeucHis
ARCADIA — HARLINGEN
Florenz Ziegfeld's famous mu
sical comedy success, "Sally" in!
which the beautiful and talented i
Marilyn Miller achieved her first!
great success, has been brought to I
the audible screen, enhanced by '
new songs, new sets and the pres
ence of the vivacious Marilyn Mil
ler herself. Sunday at the Harlin
gen. Arcadia Theater, this latest,
an talking, singing, dancing, all
color screen production, revealed
the flashing Marilyn Miller as one
of the gayest and most delightful
of Broadway entertainers to come
to the audible screen.
In support of this famous star
is Alexander Gray who played op
posite Miss Miller in the original
"Sally * when this production tour
ed on the road. Last year he also
sang for a time in "Desert Song.”
In the romantic lead. Mr. Gray is
convincing and believable. And in
addition Mr. Gray is the possessor
of a pleasaig voice.
The tuneful melodies featured in
"Sallv” include "Look for the Silver
Lining” and "A Wild. Wild Rose
hits of the original show, and "All
I want to Do-Do-Do is Dance,"
"Sally” and "If I’m Dreaming.”
RIVOLI-:SAN BENITO
"Bits of business” are the little
gems of action that stand out like
jewels In a motion picture and lift
it from the rut of mediocrity to
greatness.
One of these ’•bits’* that seems
destined to take Its place in screen
tradition is enacted by Norma Tal
madge in United Artists "New York
Nights,” her first talking and mu
sical picture, now showing at the
Rivoii theater, San Benito.
In the Wild party scene Miss
Taimadgc. who is supposed to be
depressed because of the fickleness
of her husband, suddenly throws
off her mood and does a frenzied
baccnanalian dance atop a piano.
In "New York Nights,” Miss Tal
madge portrays one of the most
colorful roles of her career. As Jill,
the old-fashioned, up-to-date chorus
girl of Broadway, she is obliged to
portray the whole gamut of human
emotion. The role of Fred Deverne.,
one of the "lattest" semi-character
roles of recent years, is played by
Gilbert Roland, who makes his
fourth consecutive apperance on
the screen opposite Miss Taimadgc.
CAPITOL
Two great stars, an all-star sup

a capacity audience at the Capitol
Theater last night, and will show
todav and tomorrow only.
Janet Gaynor and Charles Far

debut, gave an amazing perform

and sang their song numbers in
a manner that brought bursts of

Heavier Cabbage Consumption
There has been a heavier con
sumption of cabbage this year than
last season which may account for
a part of the advance in the mar
ket along with the short crop in
sight in the South. During the
present year a total of 43.032 cars
of cabbage have been shipped com
pared with only 38.023 last year
or a net gain 5,019 cars. The carlot
movement of the old crop cabbage
is now 4.500 cars ahead of the total
movement for last year and the
market is $5 to 88 per ton higher
Higher prices for cabbage has
brought out a heavier movement
during the last week in January.
A comparison of the carlot ship
ments for January 1930 with the
same month one year ago. shows
that the shipments were heavier
than the week previous and much
heavier than the same week one
year ago.

While there has been a slight de
cline in the carlot movement of
new cabbage, the volume has not
been sufficient to materially affect
the market. A light shipment dur
ing the last week in January has
let the total volume fall below last
season. A comparison week by week
of the new crop movement for
January indicates that the market
is In a position to absorb almost
unlimited amounts of cabbage this
winter.

Outlook Bright For South
The outlook for high cabbage
prices throughout the balance of
the season is very encouraging in
view of the light crops and small
acreage. The South should have
but little old cabbage competition
after another ten days or two weeks
Last vear with a much larger crop,
only 800 cars were marketed after
the' first of February. This year
with a much lighter supply to draw
upon and the record shipments al
ready made there cannot be many
more old cabbages left in the coun
try.
This situation of the market
should give the Southern growers
the finest opportunity in many
years to make some real money on
the crop that they are to market
in the next few months. With the
public cabbage minded and prices
now at the peak and only small
supplies of the old stock on hand,
there should be some new high
levels established this spring before
production can again overtake de
mand.

Don't be a martyr to unnecessary pain.
Lots of suffering is, indeed, quite needless.
Headaches, for example. They come with
out warning, but one can always be prepared.
Bayer Aspirin tablets bring immediate relief.
Keep a bottle at the office. Carry the small
tin in your pocket. Then you won't have
to hunt a drugstore, or wait till you get 1: ime.
And don’t think Bayer Aspirin is only
good fer headaches, sore throats, and colds!
Read the proven directions for relieving
neuralgic, neuritic, rheumatic, and other aches
and pains. Remembering, of course, that the
quick comfort from these tablets is not a cure;
for any continued pain, see a doctor.
