There are a lot of writers of
western stories; but for catching
the spirit of the old west, none
have equaled Zane Orey. whose
pen has turned out western stories
,or 15 years Among the first stories
he ever wr-*te is one of his iiest—
and one that will stand out in the
minds of all who have read it. It is
! “The Light of Western Stars", the
story of the drunken bum who
I marries a girl on a bet; and finds
out she is sister of his best friend;
! and how he re formed and became
a real man. The story has again
been made into a grand picture,
and the Cactus will offer it on Sat-
urday. The cast Includes Victory
Jory, Jane Clayton. J. Farrell Mac-
Donald and Russell Hayden. The
program includes the first chapter
of the new serial, “The Green
Hornet” as well as a cartoon.
The late show, on Saturday
night is “City of Chance", with C.
Aubrey Smith and Jean Rogers.
Coming on Sunday is another
western—but as different from
Zane Grey, as day is from night.
It's title is "My Little Chickadee,”
and it has W C. Fields trading
wise-cracks with buxom Mae West
—and if that isn't a combination!
Mae and Bill wrote the story, and
each wrote lines and situations
that for downright belly-laughs,
have never been equaled on the
screen. Joseph Callelia. Dick For-
an, Donald Meek and Fuzzy
Knight are in the cast. The shorts
are a Popular Science novelty, in
color; and latest news.
And still another western is due

went to Robstown Friday night.

spent Thursday in Corpus Christi.

Our Work Has Just Begun!
\/OU think electric service is a wonderful thing—
■ and it is. It lights our homes. It makes our
streets safe at night. Turns wheels in factories.
Lifts the burden of housework. Helps make the
good things of life cost less.
There doesn’t seem much left for electricity to
do, does there?
Yet we employees of Central Power and Light
Company believe that everything electricity now
stands for—every service and comfort it now gives
you—is but a beginning of what’s to come.
We enjoy some of the things electricity is capa-
ble of doing every mo-
ment of the day and
night. But we also know
that there are still many
undiscovered tasks for
electricity.
Who will perform
these miracles-to-come?
MORE for your money!
In the past 10 or 15 years, the price
of Electric Service has been CUT
IN HALF—because of improve-
ments and economies made by CPL.
Many customers now use more ap-
pliances, lots of light, radio and
refrigerator for very little more
aitow/*T ,-ach month than they used to pay
for lights alone!
The men who serve you now—the same great
army of skilled technicians, capable managers and
loyal employees whose tireless efforts in your be-
half have already vastly improved the service CPL
gives you, have already drastically reduced its cost.
No, it isn’t an accident that electricity has
reached its greatest present development in the
United States. The reason is that these men and
women in the electrical industry have the American
spirit of initiative.
Their work, and theirs alone, makes your elec-
tric service the best in the world. It’s an amaz-
ing service. It gets better
and better, costs less and
less.
CPL doesn’t often
think about the work it
has done because it is too
busy planning the work
that lies ahead!
