| CHARGE "WHY WORRY"
SHOWN AT EMPIRE
| RIDICULES MEXICANS
Consul General and Local
Y Consul to c onlsult With
Government.

Declaring that the picture. why
Worry" which opened at the Empire
Theater last Thursday, ridicules the
Mexicans and that the showing of the
picture violates contract between the
Mexican government and the Pathe
Motion Picture Company, Alexandra
Lubbert, consul general of Mexico,
and lsmael Magma, consul, represent;
that they will get in communication
with their government Immediately to
determine what action TO take IN
regard to the matter. ~
The statements by the Mexican rep
resentatives were made to LA Prem
sa," Spanish newspaper published in
San Antonio. after the Mexican repre-
sentatives had witnessed showing of
the picture at the Empire.
although no names are mentioned
and the picture does not state that the
characters in the play are Mexicans.
says Mr.. Magma in his statement to
La Prensa," lit is plain to see that
the picture ridicules the Mexicans. :"
The statement made by Mr.. Lubbert
is practically the same as that made
by Mr.. Magma. Both declared their
intention of communicating with their
governments Immediately in order that
they might take some action in regard
to, the matter.
According to information avail
able, the contract between the Pathe
company and the Mexican government
states that no pictures ridiculing the
Mexican government or the Mexican
people, will be shown. Upon the vio-
lation of the contract by the Pathe
Company, the firm surrenders its right
to show any pictures in the Mexican
Republic, the contract states.
In answer to the objections raised
by the Mexican representatives, w.
j. Lyle, owner of the Empire Thea
ter, through w II. Branch, who is in
charge of presentations for the Lyle
theaters in San Antonio, declared that
the picture was supposed to repre-
sent life in mythical country. The
scene was laid in Paradise" a myth
ical country and in no way whats0-
ever does. it ridicule the Mexican gov
eminent or the Mexican people. he
said. In fact, he declared, the Mexi-
| can people Were not even thought of
| in the production of the picture.
Both Mr.. Lubbert and Mr.. Magma
declared that they will take no action
until they have been advised by their
government. When they will commu-
nicate with their government they did
| not disclose. 1t is understood that
they will refer the matter to Aaron
Saenz. acting secretary of the exterior
of Mexico. ~ -

APPEAL FOR AID
Mexican Chapel too Small to Take
Care Of Crowd.

A request for funds that a new
building may be erected to carry on
the work of the Mexican mission on a
larger scale has been made by Mrs.
s. +. Ostrom and her daughter,
Frances Ostrom, who erected small
chapel at 1922 Jones avenue some time
ago.
The congregation has for some time
been too large, for the chapel. accord
ing to Mrs. Ostrom, and the directors
of the chapel have been moved to make
public appeal that the work may be
carried out on larger scale. Dur
ing the summer months the Sunday
school classes became so large that
it became necessary for several of
them to be held outside the building
under the shade trees. However. with
the approach of cold weather this is
impossible and the directors of the
mission are putting forth concerted
effort to raise sufficient money that
a new building or additions to the old
chapel may be built.
Those desiring to contribute to the
chapel may mail their contributions
to Miss Frances Ostrom. 1892 Jones
