Mr.. Richardson has complied with
che request and suggested that the
players be brought here 10 film the

Brownsville and the Valley win
receive valuable advertising from
the picture-regardless of the na-
ture Of the story.
The value to this section OF this
picture would be much greater
could the players be brought here
60 film the outdoor scenes.
Los Angeles and California as a
whole have been advertised to the
world through movies produced
there. This picture. in a similar
way. will do the same thing for the
Valley.
COL. LINDBERGH has made
good his threat to disappear.
On his last visit here. when he
had been missing overnight and

that.

spirit of "hands off, manifest.

both Of them and the entire world

est happiness.

happy. would make good copy but
news sleuths are in accord with the
millions of men and women who
admire this splendid couple and
respsct their desire to be let alone.

do the job right.
The Valley boasts some of the
most beautiful passenger stations
y sn the country. thanks to the
y friendliness OF both the Missouri

These new structures will be in
keeping with the general tone Of
