MOVIE STARS AT
ROTARY MEETING

AS a fitting prelude to the gala
opening of El Portal Theatre to-
night, the program at the meet
ing of the Las Vegas Rotary Club
this afternoon was turned over to
Ernie Cragin and Bill Pike.
The guests of honor were Miss
Doris Hill and Neil Hamilton.
Paramount stars, and oscar Kant
ner, head of publicity of Para
mount Famous-Laskey Corporation.
The motion picture people were
introduced and responded grace
fully as might be expected Miss
Hill especially caught the fancy
of us younger Rotarians. She is
one of the recently discovered and
brilliant lights in the motion pic
ture armament and if as charm
ing in pictures as she is in person
wonderful career awaits her.
Mr. Kantner made a delight
full talk, takeing as his text These
Changing Times" briefly outlin-
ing the problems which the great
producing companies must solve.
Most happy we're his words of
congratulation to Messrs. Cragin
& Pike and his brief description
Of FL Portal, which he designated
as one of the most beautiful in
the west.
There are no finer motion pic
ture palaces in Los Angeles or
New York than you have here in
El Portal" Mr.. Kantner said.
There are larger and more cost
ly theatres, but never more perfect
and satisfying one"

WIRE SERVICE
IN VALLEY POOR

On Monday night just one hour
before leaving for Mesquite. De-
putty Sheriff McCubrey filed a
telegram addressed to C. w. Lun-
dy of Mesquite, with the local
office of the Western Union. Ten
hours later, after McCubrey had
driven to Mesquite. thence to st.
George and back to Mesquite,
the wire was received by Mr..
Lundy.
McCubrey attaches no blame
to the local office, but criticiseS
the service in Virgin and Moapa
Valleys. This criticism is given
in the hope that some solution may
be reached. whereby the telephone
service on kilograms at Moapa
may become more prompt and
efficient. The elapSe of ten hours
between the sending and receipt
of the wire indicates a laxneSs
somewhere.

Otherwise, it is pretty thin stuff.

Large Attendance

Chamber Meeting

Tonight's dinner Of the chan,oer

clock, will probably be the last OF
the season, as it is expected the di-
rcctors will decide hereafter to have
the gatherings Of chamber members
and their friends at noon, each
Wednesday, when luncheon will b."
served. This evenings repast should
therefore attract Il large number OF
persons, President Leo lletzcl be
licvcS. He reminds everyone that 1t
is not necessary to be a member OF
the chamber, but that the luncheons
and dinners are open to all NalIc|
folk. And particularly are the people
of the outlying country invited, he
adds, for the chamber Of commerce
realizes its duty to the farmers Of
Imperial Valley, and appreciates its
opportunity to render its service III
the solution of farm problems.
a large number of juniors should
attend these gatherings, chamber
directors assert, and thus get into
the swing of chamber of commerce
activities, programs and problems.
This evening Postmaster c. G..
jenkins will talk Of the conferences
on aviation held last week in San
Diego and Los Angeles, and tell of
the necessities for fully equipped
landing places for the flying ser
vice. Jenkins attended these con
ferenccs as Il delegate Of the cham
Der, accompanied by President
Hetzcl, Mayor w. J. Clements, w.
c. Costello, 7. J. Arnett, Robert
Hays and II. l.. Loud. All who re-,
turned say that much good resulted
from the conventions, and it is
hoped that establishment of a
Southern Flying service, carrying
passengers and mail, with Imperial
Valley as a port of call, will be the
ultimate rcsul tof last week s
