MEXICO CITY, April 9.-(P)-
Gen. Plutarco Elias Gales was in
the state of Sinaloa today prepared
to establish his headquarters at the
port of MaZatlan, and undertake
personal direction of the Pacific
coast campaign.
There was in the action evidence
Of his relentless determination to
stifle remaining phases Of The re-
volt and Of the skill with which
the man moves about such things.
At Mazatlan he may be able so
to accelerate the advance of the fed
eral armies up the west coast that
before the predicted union of the
forces of Generals Iturbe and Cruz,
General Topete and General Esco-
bar can take place in Sonora they
viii find themselves beSet from both
front and rear by well organized
federal pursuing armies.
General Gales is expected here
to remain in MaZatlan only a day
or so, moving northward at some
distance behind the armies Of Cen
erals Lazaro CardenaS and Jaime
Carrillo, which yesterday occupied
Culiacan, capital of Sinaloa. A ma
jor battle, expected at first to take
place at San Bias, short distance
north of Culiacan, is not expected
now until the armies have reached
Sonora.
At AguascalienteS General Gales
conferred with General Saturnino
Cedillo, in charge of the campaign
against the so-called religious insur-
gents. He assured General Cedillo
of every support in the solution Of
his military problem.

At the Palace theater, McAllen,
is 1.-The Jazz Singer with AL Jol-
son. THE Jazz Singer" a picture
which lays its finger where your
heart beats. The story Of a little
boy. descended from five genera
tions of cantors, who wants to sing
NANNY" songs and jazz songs in
the theater, rather tan hymns in
the synagogue. People do not fail
to see THE Jazz Singer; they see
1t now or eventually, for the story
with its religious background not
only appeals to the Jewish people
but to every man. woman and child.
We have heard a lot off Jazz
singers, but we have never heard
anyone put a jazz song over like Al
Jolson does on the stage, over the
radio, or my means of the phono-
graph. He is the boy with the tear
in his voice, and as rlinor Glyn
says, "Al has more IT than any,
n else in the world"
Well this 1T, or personal mag
netism to use a more familiar term,
is just as apparent in Jolson's
screen Interpretation. as it is over
the radio, or on the legitimate
stage.

Gonzalo Escobar, commander-in-
chief of the Mexican insurgents
from his Nogales, Sonora, head
quarters was looked upon here today
as a sign that the end of the revolu-
ton was near.
Escobar left hurriedly last night.
General Francisco Borquez, rebel
spokesman declared Escobar had
gone to lead reDel troops against
the federals advancing through Pull
pito and CarretaS passes on the So
nora-C Chihuahua border. Rumors
were current, however, that he had
determined to take an airplane at
Cananea and fly either to Ell Paso,
Texas. or Douglas, Ariz., to surrend-
er to United States officials.
With General Fausto Topete re-
ported at Hermosillo, all the rebel
generals in Sonora apparently were
in position to head for the American
border on short notice in case
Escobar should declare the revolt
ended. General Manuel Aguirre was
reported to be the farthest from the
border, somewhere in Southern
Sonora.
Mayo and Yaqui Indians led by
the rebel General Marcelo Caravec
were reported to be guarding Pulpitc
Pass, while an Indian revolution
airy force led by General Ramon
Y%ucupicio was said to be advancing
east to CarretaS pass.
