their friends were guests Of the
Central Power and Light company
Friday night at a banquet at the
Matamoros cafe to end a day OF
entertainment occupying practical
~ every minute of the time.
II was a strictly informal affair,
and by strictly Is meant that no
man was permitted to speak, if he
attempted in any manner to be ser
ious. Ruben Martinez, who, on be-
half Of the mayor of Matamoros,
welcomed the visitors, was given q
hearing and loudly applauded, but
falling silver and cat calls greeted
tempting to address them with any
thing but jokes.
The day ended a round of enter
tainment beginning with a breakfast
at the Cortez in Weslaco and Sat-
urday will again be opened in like
manner az the same place. A barbe-
cue dinner of rabbit will be served
the visitors at the Progreso club at
noon by the rabbit breeders Of the

CAPITOL

The West was won last night; so
was the praise and applause OF a
large audience who, at the Capitol
Theatre, sat spellbound through the
showing of Raoul Walsh's The Big
Trail" Fox Movietone drama OF
pioneer days. II is easily understood
how this stupendous production
came to be heralded as the most
important picture ever produced
and right here let it be said that it
Is also the most impressive. the
most inspiring. the most gripping
talking film this reviewer has ever
seen and heard
Re-enacting that flaming chap
ter Of American history. when one
hundred years ago the first pioneer
wagon train left Missouri for the
oregon country. a chapter which
eliminated in the winning Of the
West, 1t depicts the hardships of
these stalwart pioneers in their trek
Westward, their courage. their spir-
it and their faith which carried
them through to their valley of
dreams.
No end OF praise is due Raoul
Walsh for producing this screen
masterpiece. This great director has
inspired his players to actually re-
live the scenes of a century ago. He
has injected realism into this film
by travelling his company of play
ers over the very same ground that
the pioneers Of yesterdays traversed

ture troupe travelled 1900 miles ir

FUTURE EXPLORERS
WILL EMPLOY RADIO
Expeditions Will Be in Direct
Contact With World
by Voice.
BY MARTIN CoDEL.

On his next expedition Admiral
Richard E. Byrd, whose voice was heard
by the American radio audience as it
came over from New Zealand yesterday
morning, will more than likely broad
cast reports of his adventures to a
listening world directly from the scenes
OF his explorations.
So swift is the progress Of radio that
which seems to be an extravagant pre-
diction today is a reality tomorrow.
G. w. Horn, the man who Is engineer
ing the various international rebroad-
casts Of the National Broadcasting Co.,
Is authority for the prediction that
radio probably will next bring the voices
of explorers back to civilization even
while they are on their long tricks into
isolated parts Of the world.
In the volume, Radio and Its
Future" which Harper Bros. publish
this Spring and which this correspond
ent had the privilege of editing, Mr..
Horn makes this statement:
Probably future expeditions to the
remote parts of the world will have
equipment sufficiently powerful to trans
init the human voice back to civilization
where it will be connected with the
great broadcasting networks, and the
public will get first hand and direct
information and descriptions from the
sturdy men who visit the remote places
of the earth"
Dot and dash radio communication
kept the Byrd expedition in constant
touch with civilization and his men had
receiving sets which were able also to
tune in voice and music broadcast from
various countries on short waves. Little
America, however did not have a voice
transmitter, and Admiral Byrd's voice
was heard over the radio Tuesday morn
ing for the first time in a year and a
half
1t came through with considerable
distortion, yet it was recognizable. as 1t
was relayed from Dunedin, New Zealand,
the Byrd expeditions first stop over on
its way back to the United States The
distortion was not due to the 10000
mile sf1ort-wave relay that carried
Byrd's voice to Schenectady and thence
over the national network. 1t was
caused by local static conditions pre-
vailing between Wellington, New zea-
land, and Sidney, Australia.
