| N OUR r
VALLEY

TO-DAY IS EASTER and in the
Lower Rio Grande Valley the
weather has been promised which
will permit the women-folk to dis
play their new finery in comfort,
while throughout the north ana
east cold winds are scheduled to
blow and snow to fall in some
localities.
There the heavy clothing of the
winter season likely will be in
order.
Here the grapefruit and orange
trees are in blossom and flower
gardens are riot of color-there
people are just beginning to study
the seed catalogues and consider
the posies they will be enjoying
two or three months hence.
Which all is but another reason
for the citizens Of this section to
consider the more solemn side Of
the occasion.
All churches in Brownsville and
throughout the section have pre-
pared beautiful programs of music
and sermons in commemoration of
the resurrection of Christ Jesus.
AS is fitting, all the places of
worship will be crowded for both
morning and evening services, and
those who attend are sure to carry
away with them a feeling of
spiritual uplift which will go with
them throughout life.
Attendance at the church OF
your choice will be a fitting OBJ
servance of the day.
TUESDAY will be election day
for some Valley towns. McAllen
will choose mayor and city COM
missioners; also Edcouch. Pos
sibly others. Mercedes will elect
two commissioners.
.McAllen race promises to be
hotiy contested and at Mercedes
two complete tickets are competing
for honors. RumorS of hot fight
for the honor of mayoring at
Edcouch.
AN ALAMO MAN few nights
ago got a graphic example OF the
difference between weather condi-
tions IN the Valley and his former
home,ACentermine, Michigan.
Called friend on the telephone
at night.
The friend spoke of suffering
from the cold. Said it was snow
ing-four inches already on the
ground and more coming down.
The Alamo man told him about
the flowers being In bloom, the
birds singing-said cover was un-
necessary at night.
Possibly the Michigan m n
thought he was being "spoofed."
At any rate what he heard didn't
serve to lessen his suffering from
the cold.
A YOUNG MAN-the general
manager Of chain OF eighty
Texas theaters-was talking busi-
ness with an older man in Browns
vile.
The young man was T. D. Noble,
Jr., of Dallas.
The older man was John Fan
ming Of Brownsville.
Noble, listening to Tanning talk,
studied him intently.
Suddenly he pointed his finger
at Tanning.
"I know you," said Noble.
weren't you running a picture
theater in Cisco some ten or
twelve years ago?"
"Yes." answered Tanning.
"Well, you threw me out OF your
theater along with a friend OF
mine. because we were creating
disturbance"
After which the business deal
was consummated to the satisfac-
.ion of Noble, as general manager
for the Dent theaters, new owners
of three Brownsville theaters, and
Tanning.
Noble, still little more than a
youth. has in the intervening
wears become a successful motion
picture executive.
BROWNSVILLE is to have
theater equipped with Vitaphone
and Movietone.
That is to be one of the results
cf the conference between Noble
and Fanping.
1t will be the third theater in
this section equipped with this
particular type of talkie.
The theater-the Capitol, one OF
the three affected in the deal
will have the latest in this equip
ment that has turned the moving
picture business topsy-turvy in the
past eighteen months.
The equipment is being rushed
from Dallas by motor truck. And
is expected to be ready for its
initial presentation on next Sat-
urday night.
