at how hf tie it costs
years ago to produce the kind of
pictures they thought the public
wanted. Their success through
the years has amazed some older
hands at the business, especially
so since many of their top suc-
cesses have been on small budg-
ets. Thomas explains how they
do it:
“We keep close to the boss. The
boss, in the final analysis, is the
man who walks up to the boxof-
fice and buys a ticket. No matter
how artistic or beautiful a movie
may be, it can’t be a success un-
less people pay to see it.
“We do a lot of traveling
around the country, talking to all
kinds of people in all kinds of
towns, and that way we get to
know the things people like to
see.”
Right now, when TV is posing
such a serious threat to the
basque effect bodice of the dress.
The standup collar was of taf-
feta.
Her mitts were lace, matching
the jacket, and the tiny hat was
also made of lace from which fell
a shoulder length veil of pink il-
lusion. Pink pearl earrings were
the bride’s only jewelry and her
slippers were high heeled pink
satin.
The bride carried a colonial
bouquet of pink rosebuds.
Mrs. W. P. Kermickel of Waco
attended her sister as matron of
honor, wearing a dress of pink
shantung taffeta featuring an
ankle length flared skirt with
emphasis on the back fullness.
The sleeves were short and the
sweetheart neckline had a stand-
up collar. Her mitts were pink
nylon net and in her hair was a
single band of nylon net. Mrs.
Kermickel wore pink kid slippers
and carried a bouquet of deep
pink palm mums.
Jack Cartwright of Midland
was his brother’s best man. The
gentlemen in the wedding party
wore white carnation bouton-
nieres.
As the bridal party left the
altar, the vocalists sang softly,
“Always.”
The newlyweds received their
friends in the church foyer after
the wedding. In a shower of rice
and good wishes, they left the
church for a honeymoon trip to
points in West Texas and New
Mexico. After a week’s stay, Mr.
and Mrs. Cartwright will return
to Gainesville to spend several
days before going to Lubbock to
make their home.
The bride is a graduate of the
Gainesville, high school and at-
tended Abilene Christian college
two years. She was a member of
GATA, women’s social club, and
for the past five years has been
on the staff of the Gainesville
Daily Register.
Mr. Cartwright, also a grad-
uate of the Gainesville high
school, is beginning his senior
work in Texas Tech with the
opening of the fall semester.
