Constructing special automobiles I
in which despite high speed

Ordinary racing cars at high

Hence studio camera experts de-
signed special bodies the lines of

Ernest Torrence an entire new car
was constructed large enough to
give the huge actor the necessary
leg room.
The thrilling race scenes were
filmed at the Indianapolis speed

there when Haines. Torrence and
John Miljan raced in their special

competing in the race.
PALACE—Me ALLEN
The most interesting picture
wardrobe of Gloria Swanson's ca-
reer—a career in which gorgeous
clothes have played an important
part traditionally—has been as-
sembled by the producer-star for
"The Trespasser.” her new United
Artists talking and singing picture
now at Palace theater McAllen
last 2 days.
Favored with a role which of-
fers exceptional dramatic possibili-
ties and an opportunity to appear
again in “fine feathers.” Miss
Swanson has given the matter o:
clothes particular attention.
Thus in addition to the interest
centering in Miss Swanson’s talk-
ing and singing debut feminine
fans will find many fashion hints
in tne new production.
"The Trespasser” is a drama of
modern life with Chicago's upper
social strata providing its setting
It is regarded as the most forceful
story yet to come from the pen of
Edmund Gouldlng. who has at-
tained outstanding success as play-
wright. novelist scenarist and
director.
CAPITOL
Irene Bordoni the internationally
famous singing comedienne who is
featured in a special number in
"Show of Shows” Warner Brothers
Vitaphone musical extravaganza in
technicolor which is now showing
at the Capitol Theater was born
on the Island of Corsica in Ajac-
cio the same village where Nap-
oleon first saw the light of day. Her
grandmother was the sister of Mil-
let. the painter.
In "Show of Shows" which Dar-
ryl Zanuck. associate executive at
Warner Brothers studio personally
produced Mile. Bordoni is support-
ed in her sketch by ten members
of the studio song writing staff
each playing Rn Individual piano.
She sings a medley of outstanding
hits popular the world over which
were ccmpased by the song writers
Among the scores upon score of

mentioned John Barrymore Bea-
trice Lillie. Georg"o Carpentier.
Winnie Lightner. Richard Br.rthel- j
mess Betty Compson. Dolores Cos-

RIVOLI—SAN BENITO
"She Couldn't Say No.” a musi-
cal screen drama that is a distinct
novelty opened an engagement at
the Rivoli Theater San Benito
yesterday. It is a Warner Bros and
Vitaphone production featuring
Winnie Lightner. one of the most
entertaining of the talking screen's
comediennes and Chester Moms
that bright young man who made
an immediate hit with his first
movie apoearance in "Alibi”
Although the storv of "She Couldn't
Say No” is told in an atmo-
sphere of night clubs it is not jus*
a song and dance picture. There
is comedy and song but there I*
also a note of tragedy and some
highly dramatic scenes. The night
club episodes are those showing
Winnie Lightner in her role of
Winnie Harper first a hostess at
a cheap club and later the toast
of the town in the exclusive Klttv

Legislative Program Ends
Tuesday After Meeting Of
Much Talk
AUSTIN. Feb. 17—<iD—The fourth
called session of the legislature re-
sumed Its work today the next to
the last day of the 30-day period
with its program so badly muddled
many predicted that insofar as ac-
tion on pending problems was con-
cerned the meeting was over.
The conference committee trying
to adjust differences of the houses
on penitentiary centralization and
rehabilitation legislation was con-
fronted with virtual pronouncement
by Governor Moody that he would
veto anything short of a proposition
to centralize activities around an in-
dustrial plant near Austin.
Governor Moody had told his
friends he had not given up hope of
getting his prison reorganization
program adopted but intended to
renew his radio appeal to the people
to petition their representatives in
the legislation to support Austin
centralization.
Continuation of the Governors
announced appeal to the people was
accepted generally as meaning a
fifth called session would follow this
one when it expired Tuesday and
prison centralization together with
other subjects would be resubmit -
ed.

Way to Get At a Cold
Is Through the Bowels
As soon as you catch cold the
pore. close: perspiration is checked.
Oases and waste can t escape thru
the skin. That's why your doctor s
first advise in case of colds is a
mi’d laxative like cascara. Medical
authorities agree it actually
strengthens bowel muscles. You
get cascara in its most pleasant
form in candy Car-caret.-.
Remember this when you catch
cold; whenever breath is bad: ton-
gue coated or you're headachy
bilious constipated.
Why resort to liarsher tilings
when Ca-scarets activate the bowels
so quickly so liarmlessly and pleas-
antly—and cost only a dime?

WASHINGTON Feb. 17—(/P5—
Proposal for an Investigation of pro-

session to consider the advisability
of such an inquiry.
Approval was regarded os a dis-
tinct possibility as there were in-
dications several dry members wrr.-

cluding chairman Norris of Nebraska
and senator Borah of Idaho.
The inquiry was proposed in a re-

voted for prohibition in his own
state ten years ago but believes en-
forcement has been a failure.
The measure called for an in-
vestigation as to whether it was pos-

it would be ammended to provide for |
an inquiry' as to whether the dry i

"It serves him right” we say when the

Certified Cremo protects you against this
