RKO MAJESTIC
A hilarious comedy drama "They
Just Had To Get Married” featuring
■ two of the screen’s funniest comedians,
Slim SumtAerville and Zasu Pitts,
comes to the RKO Majestic Friday.
It's, a picture which runs the whole
gamut.of comedy, from biting satire
to riotous farce, with a fast pace
which at times will cause 4 person to
hold the arm of their set and burst
forth with shrieking laughter. Slim
Summerville and Zasu Pitts \ have
many chances to display their team
work. §Sm’s inimitable manner of sell-
ing comedy is outstanding, while Zasu
Pitts, the proud possessor of the
screen’s only "silent” face, with which
she has been acclaimed the best panto-
mime feminine comedian of the screen.
The supporting cast areFifiD’Drsay,
Roland Young, C. Aubrey Smith,
Verreo Teasdale and Baby Cora Sue
Collins. * *■ —-*—
The RKO Featurettes bring Morton
Downey the crooning N. B. C. star,
a Fable, "The Pickaninrfy,” and the
RKO Pathe News.
LOEWS STATE
"Whistling In tha Dark” at Loew's
State Theatre this week, brings to the
talking screen one of the most brilliant
of Broadway comedians in Ernest
True* who starred in the original show
which had almost a year in New York.
The story is about a noted author
of crime stories who is .captured by
gangsters who refuse to let him go un-
til he dopes out a "perfect crime” for
them to commit. The manner in which
he works out of the situation and
manages a new bride at the same
time, makes it easily understandable
why New York patronized the play so
long, why M-G-M bought the screen
rights and why Treux is now on his
way to London to start ahother star-
ring engagement in the same hit.
METROPOLITAN
The long step from the drawing
room to the Barbary Coast of pld.San
Francisco gives to the sefeen an en-
tirely new Ruth Chattertop, in her lat-
est First National picture "Frisco Jen-
ny” which opens at the Metropolitan
in Houston Saturday for a week’s run.
Coming as an interesting departure
from her long series of portrayals as
the rich, charming and cultured wo-
man of high society, the title role in
"Frisco Jenny” awards the star a
chance for a new -characterization. No
longer docs she sip tea and bandy
smart repartee with the intellectuals.
No longer does she appear as the fash-
ion plate of the screen. And no longer
does she speak with softened "R” and
the broadened "A”.-
"Frisco Jenny” was a historical
character in San Francisco during and
after the earthquake period. She was
the daughter of a saloon keeper and~a
power in the underwprld. Ruth Chat-
terton, glad of the opportunity to bring
so picturesque a person to the screen,
dons the plumed hats, ginger-breaded
costumes and war-paint of the demi-
mondaine, and plays her for all she .is
worth.
The role is quite different from any
that Miss Ghatterton has rccetltly de-
picted but is not dissimilar to some of
her earlier screen triumphs, such as
"Madame X”, in which she made one
of her most striking successes. "Frisco
Jenny” is a highly dramatic story
dealing with a women, keeper of a
notorious resort, who does not hesitate
to commit murder, yet whose mother
love is so great that she sacrifices her
own life to save her sen from the
knowledge pf her %hamc. ,
Adath Yeshurun Synagogue was in
bridal adornment Sunday night for
the wedding at which Miss Roselle
Finger, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
S. Finger, became the bride of Jake
M. Glick, son of Mrs. K. Glick. The
ceremony was performed by Rabbi A.
I. Schechter, assisted by Rabbi J. Le-
vine. Miss Sadie Wanger was at the

dore Yonet, H. E. Finger, Mitchell

in marriage, Following the ceremony a

stitute. Miss Ida Perel presided over

H. A. Halverton
Candidate for
TAX AND UND COMMISSIONER
To the Citizens of Houston: ~ ^
m
In making .the announcement of my candidacy for Tax and
Land Commissioner, I outlined a tentative platform which I
wish to present during: the campaign with a few additions.
To be honest and frank with my own conscience, and to the
citizens of Houston whom I will represent, I will not make any
glittering promises to do the impossible, however, I am not
groping in the dark in entering this campaign as to what has
occurred in the past three years; I am compelled to give a com-
parison in the management between the present and former ad-
ministration where the Tax and Land Commissioner, who is
Chairman of the Finance Qommittee, plays the most important
part in the administration’s financial affairs.
. Our merchants, the manufacturer, the laborer, the home own-
er and the taxpnyer/in general, have been clamoring for relief
from oppressive taxation. Instead of decreased taxes there has
been an increase ip the tax rate from $1.87*4, which had been
in effect for five years, to the constitutional limit of $2.00. To
add injury to misery the valuation of land, improvements artd
personal property in 1980 was raised $17,000,000.00. This tre-
mendous increase did not silence the cry for more revenue and
so the water rate was raised from 16c to 20c per thousand gal-
lons. All of these astounding increases have .brought the citizens
to a point of demanding relief which they* are justly entitled to,
and it shall be my aim and purpose to do everything in my power
to reduce the tax rate as well as the valuation on land, improve-
ments and personal property, thereby .giving the taxpayers low-
er taxes. '
I pledge my co-operation to the re-establishment of the recrea-
tional centers, the zoo and the public parks for the free use and
benefit for the citizens of Houston and their children, free from
any fee or limitation; I pledge my co-operation to a return of
the city to its normal lighted condition; to the repair and upkeep
of the public streets; to the immediate expenditure of bond
money on hand for the purposes for which said bonds were
voted in order to {jive to the city the utilities and improvements
it needs; I'further pledge my strenuous efforts to bring the tax
rate from its present charter limit of $2.00 to the former rate
.of $1.87%, and I believe my many years of experience and
practical knowledge of municipal affairs justifies me in claim-
ing that in making these pledges I am conservative.
Respectfully submitted,
H. A. HALVERTON,
' Candidate for Tax and Land Commissioner
