"Tulsa" Brilliant Film Showing
Dramatic Early History of Oil
*
Spectacle! Bright, wondrous
color! The great romance of the
early dayes of a great industry
- OIL! All these are the ingredi-
ents of Walter Wanger's out-
door technicolor epic "Tulsa,"
which is due to make its local
bow next Sunday at the Tower
Theatre.
The Eagle Lion release stars
lovely, titian-haired Susan Hay-
ward; handsome, dynamic Rob
ert Preston and new dramatic
actor from south of the border,
Pjjto Armendariz. These three
1' jp robust lives of violence
a.Jrbxciting action set against
the exciting days of the oil rush
in Oklahoma. In the film, the
ruthless possession of oil rich
property turns Susan Hayward
into one of the most vicious of
the early wildcatters. In a world
of arrogant, remorseless, tough
men she finds that she has to be
tougher and more arrogant than
the worst of them.
Advance reports have it that
there are the same scenes of
scope and spectacle that one has
been led to expect of a Walter
Wanger production. One se-
quence shows a gusher blowing
in, with the oil geyser being
preceded with bursts of shatter-
ed casing, sand, gravel, salt wa-
ter and gas. In another spectac-
ular scene a river polluted with
oil catches fire, sending sheets
of flame from bank to bank.
This fire scene is said to rank
with the great fire scene in
"Gone With the Wind."
Stuart Heisler, who directed
Miss Hayward's hit of last sea-
son "Smash-Up," handled the
directorial baton for "Tulsa."
The screenplay was written by
Frank Nugent and Curtis Ken-
yon from a story suggested by
Richard Wormer Among the
impressive members of the sup-
porting cast are Lloyd ("Body
and Soul") Gough, and Chill
Wills.

Two Heads Are Better
Than One (Or None)
I get a kick out of buying stuff
ifown at the hardware store. And
I always a»k for a little advice from
one of the two brothers who run it,
because I know beforehand exactly
what the answer will be.
Like when I needed a new gar-
den hose. "Henry," I says, "how
about this new plastic hose—is it
really as good as rubber? " " Well,"
he says, "I'm inclined to think it
b—but you'd better ask Tom."
I found Tom in back and asks
him the same question. "Well,"
saya Tom, "in my opinion it ia—
but you'd better ask Hnnry." "I
already have," I says, "and v/hen
you two cautious old codgers agree
I'd bet my life on the decision."
From where I sit, your own opin-
ion ia worth a lot—hot so's fhe
other fellow's. That's why I keep
saying, over and over, let's Ik- tol-
erant of the other perxon'* point
of view—whether it's on politics or
farming— or whether you like milk
shakes and he prefera • temperate
flaaa at beer.
Midland Lions Club Pressing tor
Daugherty's Brother as Governor
MIDLAND, May 2ti "Jim
Daugherty for Governor" is the
watchword throughout West
Texas this week as the Midland
Lions Club winds up its cam-
paign to elect James L. Daugh-
erty of Midland Governor of

al, at the District Convention in
Pecos, May 29 30.

dent of the Midland club, now
Is Deputy Governor of District

Daugherty, Seminole banker,
and has addressed the Lions'
Club there,
A large delegation of Midland
Lions will bp on hand at the
Pecos convention in the inter-
est of Daugherty's candidacy.
"Daugherty for Governor" ban-
ners and placards will cover the
city, and Daugherty supporters
will buttonhole delegates, seek-
ing their support and votes.
The Rev. Clyde Lindsley, pres-
ident of tiie Midland Lions Club,
said everything possible is being
done to assure the election of
the Midland candidate, who for
years has been active in Lion-
ism.
A "Daugherty for Governor"
committee has been active the
last two months, contacting
clubs, presenting special pro-
grams in many instances, and
loaders believe tiie election of
the Midlander is "in the bag."
But they are taking no chances.

in Pecos.
