Movie Sidelights
CAPITOL
This modern age is not without
Its spectacular happenings, and R
took Cecil B. DeMille to capture its
epic proportions and translate it to
the screen in his latest Paramount
picture. “This Day and Age," open
ing with a midnite show Saturday
night at 11:30 and showing Sunday
and Monday at your Capitol
theatre, Brownsville.
DeMille depicts the revolt of the
younger generation against the cor
ruption which allows racketeering
full sway.
Of particular brilliance is the
performance contributed by Char
les Bickford as the boss racketeer
who evades the law only to fall in
to the hands of the young vigil
antes.
The only feminine role of impor
tance was played by Judith Al
len who made her screen debut In
this picture. Other principal roles
were played by Richard Cromwell,
Eddie Nugent, Ben Alexander,
Harry Green.
QUEEN
Zane Orey's twenty-ninth novel
to reach the screen will show Sat
urday only at the Queen Theatre.
Brownsville, entitled "Man of the
Forest.”
With a splendid cast featuring
Randolph Scott, Harry Carey. Noah
Berry, Verna Hillie and Buster
Crabbe. it boasts beautiful out
door photography, rapid-fire ac
tion. thrills and gunsmoke.
Randolph Scott portrays Brett
Dale, the "Man of the Forest ” A
friend, played by Harry Carey, is
killed by enemies to get the water
shed property he owns. Scott starts
out on his campaign for vengeance.
He takes upon himself, too, the
Job of protecting the rights of his
friend’s niece.
Scott and Carey make the kind
of heroes you love to cheer, and
Beery Is a dastardly villain, who
deserves nothing more than the
good, old-fashioned hiss.
RFVOLI — SAN BENTTO
Clive Brook has gone wrong. And
George Raft has gone straight.
These two phenomena take place
on the screen In "Midnight Club,”
the E. Phillips Oppenheim melo
drama in which Brook and Raft
are co-featured. It opens with a
midnlte preview Saturday and two
days starting Sunday at the Rivoli
Theatre. San Benito, with Alison
Skipworth and Helen Vinson in
chief supporting roles.
Brook, who has played “right
eous" roles from Sherlock Holmes
on down, Is now cait as the head
of a ring of London Jewel ti' —*s
in “Midnight Club,” and Raft, who
has played many types of under
world characters In his various
films, is cast as an American de
tective brought over by Scotland
Yard to break up Brook’s gang.

TO APPEAL Oil
SUIT DECISION
AUSTIN, Oct. 6. (A*)—James V.
Allred, attorney general, was pre
paring an appeal today from a de
cision of the Travis county district
court holding that he could not
prosecute a suit to penalize 17 oil
concerns for alleged violations of
the anti-trust laws.
Judge J. D. Moore decided that
the defendant’s demurrer, contend
ing President Roosevelt’s NRA code
for the petroleum Industry, super
seded Texas' strict anti-trust sta
tutes.
Allred had sued for 117,000 000 n
penalties on grounds the defend
ant* had subscribed to a code of
businuess practices, promulgated by
the American Petroleum Institute,
that was, in effect, an arrangement
in restraint of trade and designed
to set up a monopoly.
The suit was filed nearly two
years ago and many weeks had
been consumed in arguing law ques
tions and adducing testimony be
fore a special commissioner pre
liminary to the main trial.

CHICAGO. Oct 6. —CAP)— Amer
ica's legionnaires packed up their
bags and marched homeward to
day, determined on a three-fold
peace time war—against crime,
communism and the economic re
cession.
Under the leadership of a tall
attorney of Decatur, 111 —Edward
Hayes, now 42, an ensign at the
Great Lakes Naval station during
the war against Oerm&ny—the
American Legion was definitely
committed to aid the police author
ities in the suppresaom of crime, to
oppose communism and to he p
whip the depression by supporting
the NRA.
The Legion’s views on these and
a variety of other subjeots, includ
ing rehabilitation for disabled
former soldiers were outlined m
resolutions a doted yesterday before
adjournment of its 15th annual
convention, which meets next vear
in Miami.
Calling upon the new national
commander to appoint a law and
order comndttee to study the crime
problem, the Legion asked that this
body devise a plan whereby it
could actively participate in the
curbing of criminals, on botn a
national and state basis.
The Legion's rehabilitation pro
gram, which requests free federal
hospitalisation for all veterans,
even if their aliments have ocen
contracted since the war, and its
policy in favor of strengthening
the nation’s defense, were also ap
proved.

Citrus Shipments
Increase Expected
(Special to Tbs Herald)
HARLINGEN. Ocf. 8.—The citrus
fruit movement may show an in
crease shortly with the markets
“Showing signs of improvement and
rains apparently having let up for
a time, according to L. A. Pratt who
is in charge of the state fruit ma
turity law enforcement.
Not only are rains making It
difficult to get into orchards to
harvest fruit but the water Is caus
ing fruit to continue growing. As
long as It is growing it does not
mature. The situation will result In
larger fruit later so that the delay
may be of actual benefit to the
growers who have been told that
with the limited supply of grape
fruit there should be no great rush
to market.
It has been noticed that in many
orchards It was the smaller fruit
which was knocked off trees by
the wind so that the Valley crop
may run fairly well to larger sires.
Mr. Pratt Is spending most ct
his time at Mission but was in Har
lingen on Inspection business
Thursday.
