Here They Are
At last the city of Brownsville
! has street signs. Putting this in
] the past tense is slightly premature,
| it is true, but it is definitely as
ured that the signs will soon be
I erected at all street intersections
within the city limits. Z. A. Rosen
I thal has said that the signs are or
I dered. and will be here within the
next three weeks.

As things stand at present, when
a visitor wants to know where he
is he has to ask someone. And nine
times out of ten the person accost
ed is unable to give the informa
tion. The stranger looks around help
lessly, but all he knows is that he
is standing on a street somewhere
j <he can tell that because the streets
1 are paved well), but where, he
doesn’t know.
• • •
In the suburbs a family can live
! in a house several years and not
know that the street in front of
'.he house has a name In West
■ Brownsville, for instance, on the
outskirts of the city limits, this is
1 true.
• • •
Next on the program, we hope, is
the correct numbering of homes.
This is almost as important as
; street signs. Brownsville is still a
; small-town place as long as a perosn
has to say "I live in the small pink
house on the comer” when describ
in the location of his residence.

The untimely death of Jee Jagou.
21, i nursaay morning, was a dis
tinct shock to his hundreds of
friends over the Valley.
His generosity, his good nature,
the honesty of his actions, captivat
ed the hearts of those with whom
he came in contact.
At the Brownsvlile high school,
were he was a student, the faculty
and the students both loved him.
• • •
He had lived here all his life, and
was well known not only in Browns
ville, but all over the Valley.
His death, added to those occur
ring within the past few weeks in
Brownsville, makes the list appal
ling. An epidemic of deaths, it has
been called.

Ol' Man River
Another mention must be made
of the flood.
It is rapidly becoming the chief
topic of conversation along the
Main Stem. The higher it rises, the
more conversation it causes. If it
comes as high as Chief W. J.
Schnurbusch predicts, people will be
talking about it in their sleep.

Small boats and outboard motors
will be next. Salesmen, with the
rising rlo for a talking point, will
probably call on you tomorrow and
ask: ' Have you a little boat in your
home?" If not. they will say, you
owe it to your wife and children to
buy one immediately.

Women
The state convention of Business
and Profsesional women has come
to a close. Was anything accom
plished?
The subject of womens clubs has
been cussed and discussed pro and
con during the past two years, na
tonal magazines printing articles on
the subject. It has been almost de
cided that women talk so much
that the clubs are dying out. One
of the Big Four magazines • Scrib
ner's, Atlantic. American Mercury.
Century) printed an article in which
it was stated that women like to
talk, but refuse to listen to others
talk. The article claimed that for
this reason clubs were decreasing
in number rapidly.
Not only thaf, but so much time
is wasted in talking that nothing
was ever accomplished.
MOVIE SIDELIGHTS
QUEEN
Bringing to the screen the vigor
if the old west, enhanced by 1 Beau
Bandit," Radio Pictures' outdoor j
drama, today and tomorrow at the ;
vjueen theater. All the glamour of
the Arizona desert country has
been transferred to the screen in
this thrilling tale which comes as
a welcome relief from the stereo
typed drawing-room stories.
No studio seas, no matter how
magnificent, can compare with the ;
rxauty of nature's own scenery, as
seen in "Beau Bandit." Outdoor
sequences give a breadth and move
ment to a story that cannot be
r.valed by action within four walls.
Ano "Beau Bandit” has been film
ed almost entirely in outdoor locale.
RIVOLI—SAN BENITO
Second Wife" Radio Pictures*
domestic drama which features
Conrad Nagel and Lila Lee, opens
tomorrow at the Rivoli Theater, San
Ler.ito.
Adapted from the Fulton Oursley
j!ay. “All the Kings Men," the
u.i-talking picture depicts with
mting and dramatic clarity the
ige-old antagonism between step
mother and stepchild—and the con
sequent reactions of the husband
Freddie Burke Frederick as the
son, reveals a genius for acting
seldom seen in children on tne
screen. Mary Carr plays the old
n"rse. and Hugh Huntley, who
created the role of Gilbert Gaylord
la the stage play, enacts his origin
al role in ‘ Second Wife.”
ARCADIA—HARLINGEN
Jack Oakie. the personification

cial Lion” which opened at the
! crlingen Arcadia theater, today.
Ir The Social Lion,” Oakie. Is
supported by Skeets Gallagher,
Vary Briar. Olive Borden and a
score of others of the less'serious
natured screen players.
“The Social Lion” is an adapta
tion of a famous Octavus Roy Cohen
story, “Marco Himself” — and it
proves to be right down Mr. Oak
s's alley.
To begin with, it's a neat little
plot, Just like all of Octavus Rov
Cohen's stories, there are many
surprise twists in the telling of this
ore, and the final scene is at once
Mirth-provoking and convincing.
But most important of all. it
seems to us. is the inimitable clown
.ng of this sunerb Mr. Oakie. He
is seen in the title role as the poor
but honest and verv bra'h garage
mechanic who aspires to fame in
the field of sport.
CAPITOL
Richard Arlen's first s'arring
nicture for Paramount. “Burning
Up” a thrilling, all-talking ro
il antic melodrama, will be present

of course there is a charming ro
rtnce which Mary Brian and Rich

tocay as the main feature on a
sn’endid program.
Based on the Saturday Evening

jy Katharine Brush, one of Amer
ica's youngest and most successful
writers about young people, the
picture picks up In Impetus on the
screen what it couldn't have attain
ed by the slower medium of the
printed word.
The principal characters, Claud
ette Colbert as Ann Vaughn, Nor
man Foster as Toby McLean,
Ci.arles Ruggles as Shorty Ross and
(iinger Rogers as Puff Randolph,
