The Cattle King of Congress

Robert Kleberg was a spiritual son to the
doughty old cattleman and entered with keen
intelligence into his plans for building up his
property.
The inclosed range gave opportunities for
cattle business of a higher order. The breed
could be improved and for this purpose various
kinds of cattle were imported-Brahms and
Herefords, and so on.
When Capt. King died his estate passed to
his wife intact. She took an active part in the
management until her DEATH assisted by her
son-in-law and her grandsons
BECAUSE of its size the ceding Of even
- thousands OF acres Of land for this project
or that has been conducted with feudal prodi-
galty To bring in the needed transportation
When further stretch of 40 miles was needed
ito bring out our own chuck" the King-Kle-
bergs built the spur themselves.
Representative Richard Kleberg who was
named for the founder of the dynasty, is a
years old. He was born after the fierce border
days were over when the life of cowboy had
become less romantic and colorful.
Nonetheless he grew up with cowboys and
moved into the cattle business as his birthrieht
To please his father he studied law, graduating
from the University of Texas, but returned To
the ranch at graduation to assume an active
part in the management as his fathers strength
declined
The anachroniStic ISOLATION of the Kine-Kle-
berg dynasty has come to an end Problems
Of internal development no longer engroSs The
time and attention of the rulers Of the ranch.

Capt. King and his neighbors had to battle
was Cortina the Red Robber Of the Rio
Grande
Cortina belonged TO Mexican family that
had long lived on the north banks OF the
river. In 1847 he murdered Texan of Yankee
parentage and became an outlaw, marrying the
border settlers
IE retreated into old Mexico and collected
] ] band with which he made bold thieving
forays into Texas His booty ran to thousands
of head Of cattle and horses BY 1860 he was
the terror of the country.
One day he rode into Brownsville with his
band as the sheriff was taking an acquaintance
of his, a Mexican, to jail Ordering the sheriff
to release the prisoner he and his men charged
on the officer
The sheriff was shot and the prisoner rode
off behind Cortina on his horse. The Mex
leans across the river greeted the bandit as a
kind of Robin Hood and hocked to his ranks.
In 1874 the noted Capt McNeely and his
Texas Rangers defantly crossed the border and
punished the Cortina band Two years later
Cortina's career as a bandit ended with his
arrest in Mexico.
IN the course of consolidating his domain
! Capt. King became involved in certain
law suits. In one of these, it is related he was
bested by a young lawyer of German stock,
Robert j. Kleberg.
Impressed by the young mans ability, the
captain took him for one of his own defenders
In future litigation, and In time the young man

in their art. They do not undertake
to depict nature" as Occidentals do,
but seek to present spirituality.
The pictures shown by Miss Emerson
included details of art in various Mo-
hammedan temples, showing an avoid
ance to the use of the human figure Ill
decoration. Instead. the artists had
invoked flower an6 vine motifs in their
relief sculpture.
In Persia the mosques take delicate
and beautiful forms. One of the photo

Among the most interesting features
Of Oriental temples are the beautifully
designed minarets which are associ-
ated with many Of the mosques. These,
the speaker said, serve the same pur-
pose as the bell steeples in the Chris
tian churches because it is from their
tops that the prayer callers summon
the faithful to pray. just as the bells
signal worship hours in the Christian
edifices
In India, Miss Emerson declared, she
heard more extensive religious talk
than in any other country or among
any people ITO know God is the pur-
pose of life" she said is the theory and
the principle of life among these people.
One of her photographs showed Ma

Religions Described by Miss
Gertrude Emerson.

Development of temples and their
Interpretation in various religions were
traced by Miss Gertrude Emerson, CO.
editor of Asia, in the third Of a series
of illustrated lectures on historic tenn
Piles" in the Chinese Room of the May
flower Hotel late yesterday.
Presented to her audience by Sir
Willmott Lewis, Washington CORE
spondent of the London Times, Miss
Emerson opened her lecture in India,
from which land she showed, many of
the religions spread. Illustrating her
speech with colored slides, she pictured
first Buddhist temple erected in ESQ
s. c. showing it to be a massive and
simple edifice of dome shape, guarded
by carved gateway. This gateway,
embracing two vertical posts with a
cross beam that has upturned ends,
she declared, spread to most of the
Oriental countries. until today they are
characteristic features Of the Eastern
landscapes.
Discusses Buddhism.
In a brief discussion of Buddhism,
which, she explained, was founded by
Buddha, prince in India who re-
nounced worldly pleasures for spiritual
ity, Miss Emerson said it was the only
the sword" 1t was religion of peace,
she said, and as such spread from
India through Sumatra to Java, caus-
ing the erection of temples in various
countries. From the massive simplicity
of the Buddhist temple In India, she
said, the Buddhist temples went
various architectural changes
to the delicately spired structures in
Siam. In Tibet, where Buddhism took
another form, the temples, which she
pictured, reflected the difference also
In China the temples were built in
the traditional pagoda style, and Miss
Emerson showed pictures of two va
rieties. These range, she explained,
from three to nine stories in height A
notable feature of the temples in the
Far East, the lecturer declared. was
their placement in exotic places of
beauty. One of her pictures showed
a temple perched daintily on small
island in the Yangtze River in China,
where it stood out in alabaster relief
terrain.
Temple Of Heaven"
One of the most beautiful temples
portrayed by Miss Emerson was a
Temple of Heaven erected in 1889
and crowned with blue tiles. which
today is empty. When she visited it,
Miss Emerson declared, it contained an
assortment Of tables and chairs and,
she was told, was used as a picnic

ing years AS played with great Ell
fect) by Josephine Hull, she is the
most impossible mother the screen
has ever drawn and she is greatly
responsible for much Of the misery
that is pent up in the film. Were it
not for the fact that she refuses to
give up her son, his love affair with
the trusting little Elsie Taylor might
have resulted long since in dash
of tulle and wedding bells. But, as it
is, she growls at the idea of spending
her old age alone, and kicks up her
mulish heels at sight of her future
daughter in-law, whom she thinks is
wicked" because she leaves rouge
marks on her flance's cheeks.
Thus Mother Piper-and one side
OF the fence. On the other is Elsie's
family. Her father, the salt of the
earth-and played accordingly by
that sterling actor, William Collier,
jr.-is wracked and tormented by
his greedy wife, who yearns for
love in the wide open spaces far be-
yond the confines Of her small
Third avenue fiat. At sight of
worldly lover ca dark smooth, in
sidious, iceman type), she resolves
to leave her little brood and chooses
just the day prior to her daughters
marriage. Il never wanted you any
way she says to her frightened
child, who is practicing the swing of
her wedding veil-"G ood-by!' And
she waltzes out into the great
world, leaving her husband with
heart attack, and her daughter with
a kind of motherless vertigo.
Eventually, due to an intrepid
chewing-gum merchant, who has
seen fit to make love to Mother
Piper, the two young lovers are able
to get married, but this only Just
before the curtains are swinging to
close, and only after probably the
most miserable courtship on record.
Frank BorZage has directed this
film with great good sense, suggest
ing more than once the unhappy
fable of Street Scene" His great
est virtue, however, is having been
able TO create a new Charlie Far
rell. Mr. Farrell is new-he has
learned to act. Slightly suggestive

swings his arms normally and COM
ports himself most believably in the
fashion in which he is meant TO.
Marian Nixon does a nice lob, too.
but somehow the suggestion that
Janet Gaynor might have been play
ing the same role kept cropping up.
and that partly spoiled the good

Nixon. Mr.. Collier is, of course. per-

on the large field of contestants
that produces a series of splendid
thrills.
Slim Summerville has a suffering
role, which is a factor in comic sus-
pense, while Miss Fazenda has
about the most subdued character
that has ever fallen to her lot. The
latter fact is chiefly due to the con-
ception of the writer that a con-
test over the control of an auto
plant should depend upon a certain
degree of deception as to the iden-
tity of the feminine owner and her
companion, who must appear in
role which is not rightfully hers.
In the contacts between the chief
characters there Is certain amount
of humor, but it Is evident that the
strongest interest in the play CEN
ters in the contest of skill on the
big track where the races are run.
Associated with the stars are June
Clyde and Frank Albertson, whose
rapidly moving romance does not
stop at the race track, but extends
to real race to the dock Of liner,
where both arrive just too late to
embark, but just in time to discover
that luck was operating to their
future satisfaction.

THE popularity of Sinclair Lewis
thesis and the renown attached
to the acting of Ronald Colman, as
well as the fragile yet potent art OF
Miss Helen Hayes. are the reasons
for the second week OF "ArroWsmltn,
which continues its successful career
at Loews Columbia Theater. A
drama of medicinal exploitation and
much grimnesS in the manner OF It's
delivery, it is one OF the more torceful
films of the year, a sterling example
of how the screen can adopt novel
with shrewdness and intelligence.
Mr.. Colman and Miss Hayes, in
addition to Richard Bennett and A
E. Anson combine to give Mr.. Lewis
story it's full measure of success. A
rather depressing narrative of the
penalty which the famous so often
have to pay, yet, ending on an
idealistic note, it reveals the struggle
of a Young doctor who chose to live
for science rather than for the more
clarifying and less permanent exist
ence of the ordinary man of medi-
cine" BY eschewing the easier path
of becoming a lady's pill merchant,
DR.. ArroWSmith (aS those who have
read the novel will recalD fights the
good fight in the hope of contribut-
ing something to the cause of in
yention and science. And when he
does. although everything has fallen
from around him, home and a wife

continue that fight unmolested and

plause of the multitude.

Broken Lullaby"
Remains at the Metropolitan.
THE second week of Broken Lul-
l. laby," once called The Man I

at Warmers Metropolitan, brings to
mind the efficacy of that veteran
actor, Lionel Barrymore, who may
be seen more than once, at this

kindly old German Herr Doktor in
this film, is the main reason for its
existence, other than the occasional
" brilliant camera work supplied by
the imagination of Mr.. Lubitsch and
the camera man.
The story, curious novelesque
treatment of a morbid theme, con-
cerning young Frenchman who
kills a German and wishes to repent
for his "crime" thereafter by reveal
ing his act to the family Of the dead
youth, has been treated with sin
cerity, but falls somewhat short of
the importance that somehow might
have been attached to it. Due, per-
haps, to the work of Phillips
Holmes, and the normal red-haired
Nancy Carroll, who seems too much
of a Manhattan fraulein for her
fatherland, the film is several lots
less than perfect. In fact, the final

head over a violin and soothing the
distressed German family by the
nimbleness of his playing, is one of
those things which just doesn't

Scientific Analysis of
Demand for Sustenance

At a recent luncheon one of the
party described himself as being
hungry, and this started another man,
who turned out to be psychologist.
on a definition of hunger. He said
that experiments have been carried
out in America to discover what hap
pens to the body to produce the SEN
sation of hunger. AS a result Of
these it was found that the two ira
ditional ways of overcoming the feel
ing of hunger are scientifically justi-
fed. Tightening ones belt, for example,
has been proved to check the ''rhyth-
mic contractions of the stomach"
Smoking. too. has the same effect. and
as soon as the contractions cease the
feeling of hunger tends to disappear.
But the psychologist adopted more con-
ventional methods of checking any
rhythmic contractions from which he
might be suffering when he entered a
restaurant.
