Cactus To Feature
‘Icecapades Revue’ Here
Sunday And Monday
A picture built along the lines
of previous melodramas of a gang-
ster era and yet involving a new
twist with the added sabateur an-
gle is "Seven Miles From Alcatraz"
wherein the story deals with two
gangsters who, in escaping from
Alcatraz, quite by accident run in-
to a Nazi spy ring. It brings to a
forceful conclusion the fact that
even though a man may be anti-
social in his community, he is still
100 percent American basically.
8tarred in this are Frnaks Jenks, Bo
nita Granville and James Craig. It
comes to the Cactus two days, Fri-
day and Saturday.
A film completely out of this
world in entertainment value that
will thrill you with Its pageantry
and comedy is "Icecapades Revue”
featuring the now famous Iceca-
pades Company with Ellen Drew.
Richard Denning, Jerry Colona and
Vera Vague. It Is one of the most
novel screen spectacles of the sea-
son and entirely void of the pres-
ent day dramatic incidents which
involve the world. It is Itooked for
showing at the Cactus on Sunday
and Monday.
If you enjoy Jane Withers, you
will be doubly pleased with "John-
ny Doughboy” for Miss Withers
plays two roils—that of a motion
picture star who has reached her
sixteenth birthday and runs out on
a "kiddie” role and another as the
girl from Nebraska who takes her
place, which goes for merry enter-
tainment. There are included in
the cast many former child stars
such as Bobby Breen. Baby Sandy.
Alfalfa Switzer, Spanky McFarland
and others. There Is dramatic act-
ing as well as song and dance num-
bers and it is a show that will ap-
peal to young and old alike. It Is
showing on Tuesday and Wednes-
day at the Cactus Theatre.
NEWS FROM

AComplete Coverage Of Southern Jim Wella County

ro, Kansas, arrived in Premont last
week for a two weeks visit. He has

Now, FIFTEEN TIMES
ON THE OTHER FOOT
MR. ALLEN
S'
Hopping is hard work. Charley
Allen is puffing, perspiring - and
feeling foolish. But he gladly fol-
lows the doc’s directions.
Charley’s buying another life in-
surance policy — and, at the satne
time, another stake in His electric
light and power company.
Probably, like most folks, he
doesn’t look past the policy. But it s
a fact that his insurance company
will take his premium dollars and
put them to work for him—partly
in utility securities.
Here are some interesting figures
furnished by the Institute of Life
Insurance:
1. As of December 31, 1942, 67
million people owned 134 million
life insurance policies in 300 differ-
ent companies.
2. These companies, in turr,
owned $5,060,000,000 of utility se-
curities.
3. Through the life insurance
companies alone, therefore, 90% of
the adult population of the United
States has a big stake in the utility
industry.
The Central Power and Light
Company and other electric com-
panies under business management
—which provide the great bulk of
the power for America's war pro-
duction—are literally built by the
savings of the same people they
serve.
For example, nearly 3,000 Texas
men and women r-e stockholders
and direct owners in CPL.
Clearly, almost every American
has a real interest in preserving the
American system of business man-
agement under public regulation—
the system that has produced more
goods and more services for more
people at lower cost than any other
in the world!
