Rialto Feature
Like the modern Broadway mu-
tsical which weaves story and mu-
i sic together in logical pattern,
Werner Bros, brings to the screen
! in n fresh manner, the lilting,

Sun lay Afternoon,” which runs

iDeForc and Janis Faige, and has
been dire-ted by Raoul Walsh.
The sterling cast which sings and
plays its way through the trials
and tribulations of struggling love
—set to music, songs is supported
by the comic antics of Ben Blue,
and the six-foot glamour girl, Dor-
othy Ford.
The history of “One Sunday Af-
ternoon" goes back to Broadway
in the middle of 1933, when James
B. Hagan’s play of that same title
opened to win widespread acclaim.
Ralph Blane, popular songsmith, is
responsible for the music of this
new film. His score includes:
“One Sunday Afternoon, ” "I’ll
Forget You," "Girls Were Made
to Take Care of Boys,” “Army,
You’re a Little Bit Old Fashion-
ed” and ‘‘Sweet Corner Girl."
Dennis Morgan, who tops off the
bright cast, plays a dentist whose
self-identifying remark, “That’s
the kind of a hairpin I am,” prom-
ises to become a temporary idiom
of speech.

Hants on the norizon
... in Industrial Texas
Like the stalwart, armored giants of old, these tower-
ing, modern giants of today stand for peace, security
and strength. They symbolize, too, the progressive
spirit of our energetic and enterprising generation in
developing, building and expanding the vast resources
for greater industrialization of a greater Texas.
The year 1948 was one of progress and achieve-
ment. During the year, additions to electric generat-
ing capacity, extension, and improvements to distri-
bution and transmission lines made it possible to still
further enhance the dependability of our electric
service and to expand its availability. More than
18,000 new customers were provided with dependable,
low-cost TP&L electric power service, and, at the close
of the year, a total of more than 245,000 customers
were being served by Texas Power & Light Company.
The building of more than 700 miles of rural lines
brought the total number of farm and rural custo-
mers served to more than 87,000.
Now, the dawn of 1949 finds the Texas Power 8c
Light Company on the threshold of an even greater
era of progress and development. The Company will
add 63,000 kilowatts of electric capacity at the
Trinidad plant and 12,500 kilowatts at the Waco
plant, and plans have been made for the addition of
still more capacity following these installations.
Texas Power & Light Companyjs huge expansion
program is evidence of our determination always to
provide abundant electric service to supply the needs
of the people in the area we serve; to meet new re-
quirements as they arise.
In keeping with its slogan, "Providing for the-
Texas of Today . . . Planning for the Texas of To-
morrow,” this Company is constantly planning and
building for the ever-increasing electric needs of
home, farm, business and industry! With the same
pioneering spirit and confidence in the future dis-
played by those Texans who founded the Texas Power
& Light Company in 1912, we are forging ahead
today . . . working to build the greater Texas of the
future!
