Street Hdwkers' Chants And
Serenades to Greet Visitors
Touring Romantic Monterrey

All visitors to the Business and
Professional Women's club conven-
ton are doubtless interested in the
proposed side trip to Monterrey,
Mexico. which Is to follow the close
Of the convention. Lorene Morrow,
Of Mercedes, Valley publicity chair
man for the state gathering. has
produced an array or interesting de-
tails concerning the city in an in
terview with Beth Garrett. president
Of the Mercedes club the past year:
Monterrey? What did 1 enjoy
most while I was there?"
Miss Beth Garrett OF Mercedes
repeated my question. I wanted TO
hear about her recent trip she took,
for It was the same trip the WeS-
laco Chamber Of Commerce is
sponsoring after the convention, so
the delegates can have a peek at
the interior of Mexico. Miss Gar
rett has made this chamber Of COM
merce tour so that she could write
an article about it for the May
issue Of her monthly magazine
published in Mercedes. The Lower
Rio Grande Valley Tourist"
II enjoyed most my search for
a date M. she replied promptly.
Then she laughed.
I'D better explain that. don't you
think. I believe my first practical
question about the city was that ]
wanted to know when Monterrey
was founded.
Everyone told me q different
date. The pursuit Of the date be-
came fascinating. I was determined
to learn the correct one. 60 daily
/ sauntered in and out Of the gov
eminent offices, the most important
lawyers offices. and the homes Of
the established citizens.
Surely. each one knew the exact
date. Each lawyer produced a doc
ument confirming his statement
But each date was different They
were all gracious about 1t and had
good reason to believe their stories,
for didn't they have proof?
Elusive Date
1T was the many proofs Of the
many dates that made me continue
the treasure hunt. for by then the
date Of the founding Of Monterrey
was like the pot OF. gold ut the end
Of the rainbow.
"A clerk at the Ancira hotel,
where / stayed. and Mr.. Antonio T..
Rodriguez. secretary of the M0nter-
rev Chamber Of Commerce aided
me In my search. Mr.. Rodriguez was
especially anxious as ne was q new

City. III was he who found the
authentic book. Others confirmed
its value. III gave the date as 1881.
After T returned To the Valley.
Mr.. Rodriguez sent me q copy OF the
book. I prize it most highly Of all
the mementoes ! brought back from
Monterrey"
! asked Miss Garrett to tell the
story OF the founding OF Monterrey.
Don Luis de Carbajal, q Portu-
gese. founded ii in the year 1881.
In 1889 he was given a 'capitula-
ton by Felipe III. King OF Spain.
which granted him the privilege Of
colonizing Northern Mexico in the
section now forming the states OF
Nueva Leon and Coahuila.
When Don Luis came to the
valley in which Monterrey is locat-
ed, he was SO pleased with its
beauty and fertility that he hast
ened TO Saltillo. then only a small
town a few years old. and asked
twelve Of the finest families to 90 TO
his new site. He named the town
San Luis, in honor Of his patron
saint. Later. Don Luis was thrown
in prison bv religious powers and
died there. The town was abandon
ed. Don Diego de Montemayor in
duced some OF his friends To re-
build the town. and in 1896 gave ID
the name Of Our Lady Of Monter-
rev"
Miss Garrett then told me OF the
street named in honor or Monte
mayor. and the delightful expe-
riences she had poking her head IN
the doors. The man who repairs
stoves has a slightly disgruntled
stove ver his door. The furniture
repairer has a rocker. the worse for
wear, TO designate his trade.
Street Hawkers
Up and down the old street 20 the
street hawkers early in the morn
ing. calling their wares in chants.
Miss Garrett then described the
rest Of her trip. telling a number
Of amusing stories about S. NJ. Pat
terson. secretary of the Weslaco
Chamber Of Commerce. who accom-
panies the tours as a guide-de-luxe.
What do you think the ladies OF
the convention will enjoy most in
Monterrey now that you've told
them the date OF the founding and
have taken the edge off that plea

IF they don't mind being awak-
ened early In the morning, I believe
they'll enjoy most their morning
serenade. which I found % be al

what it was. why some caballero

1--WE met him." Dan admitted.
On the way back Phillips asked
whether Dan expected to finish
that afternoon. IF you don't, you're
welcome to use the place tomor-
row if you like"
"Oh, I'll have it done,' Dan as
sured him, and the other smiled
pleasantly and said he was glad,
because he had the evening free
and would be glad to read it.
II didn't expect action like that"
Dan admitted. You're very decent"
Not at all. We're always looking
for good screen material. You can't
make pictures without stories"
TT was late afternoon when Dan
l. finished and gathered up the
typewriter sheets and placed them
in order and read them over.
He was surprised at the amount
he had written, for he had not num-
bered his pages; the job was much
more elaborate than he had
planned.
Phillips was still in his Office,
and Dan said, as he placed his
work on the others desk:
There you are, and many thanks
for your patience. If you like it
Ill tell you why I particularly
wanted to sell it to Grand United"
And if we don't want it?" the
scenario editor asked.
Then you'll never know" Dan
said, holding out his hand.
Phillips laughed. Tive got a ter
rible curiosity, but it seems that
I'm going to have to pay quite a
price to satisfy it. Well, I
hope 1 do have to. So long-and
good luck"
Collier was waiting in the apart
ment when Rorimer got there. Il
just got in and shook one up" he
said, and you look as though you
need one. It's in the refrigerator. !"
He got up from his chair and
stretched lazily. well, how did
you like Phillips?" he asked.
Hes a great guy" Dan said
warmly.
Didn't I tell you? Did you put it
over? What did he say? Tel me
all about it."
He's going to take it home and
read it tonight"
Paul nodded. What DO you think
of my idea now? Chances are il
you'd just walked in there and
dumped it on his desk, he might
not have got at it for a week OF
two.
He's a pretty busy person, but
now that he's had a chance to size
you up, he's more apt to give you a
break. Did you tell him that il
would be a good bet for Lester
Moore? They're on the lookout tor
a story for Moore"
mo-" Dan said. ct didn't. I wrote
Moore into it, though, so you hardly
could miss, but 1 thought it would
be best to let Phillips discover it
You spoke your 2 cents worth, too.
didn't you?" he accused.
"Oh, that" Paul grinned. "Sure;
I told him the same thing I told
you. Where's the harm in that?"
We'll, you were pretty swell to dc
it. I'll owe you a lot if it goes over
Don't be silly. They shouldn't
let talent like yours run around

A half hour later a naked giant, swinging
easily through the lower anches of the trees,
paused, and with raised head and dilating nos
trils shifted the morning air. The smell Of
blood fell strong upon his senses, and mingled
with it was the scent of Numa the lion. He
listened. Up the trail came the unmistakable
noises Of the greedy feeding Of a lion. Hating
above the grisIy scene Tarzan looked down.

"Paul's a great fellow. He's been

tied back in his chair and looked
%expectant, and Dan stated his mis-
sion.
I've been writing for pictures
since the first of the year. I was
over at Continental for a while;
now I'm free lancing. I've got a
play in my pocket that I wrote
when I was still in New York, be-
fore I had any idea that I'd ever do
anything for the movies.
Il feel pretty sure that if you
read it you'll agree that it has pos

Dan paused, and Phillips, with a
wan smile, nodded.
Il kr0w you've heard that bes

and the others smile broadened.
Yes he confessed, its not a
new story. But go ahead"
Thanks. I'll have to tell you
that I'd almost forgotten about this
play. It's been kicking around in
New York for SO long; and it took
Collier and-and someone else to
see its possibilities as a picture.
I'D never thought of it that way;

I came out here and gave up trying
to crash the magazines, I sort of
started all over"
Il g Phillips nodded as though
ne understood. He said, What
did you IL over at Continental
any original stories?"
Rorimer named a couple of
pictures. "They weren't especially
good" he apologized.
They weren't bad. Do you want
me to read your play? I'll be glad

think of it,"

Werper shuddered and half arose. Just then
the lion sprang from his concealment, full upon
the mounted man. The horse, with a shrIl
neigh of terror, shrank sideways almost upon
the Belgian, the lion dragged the helpless Arab
from his saddle, and the horse leaped back
INFO the trail and fed away toward the west.
But he did not fee alone. Quickly, Werper
