NATIONAL COMMANDER
AMERICAN LEGION TO
VISIT H. J. EHLERS POST
H. W. Mayer attended a confer-
ence of State officers of the Ameri-
can Legion at Austin, Tuesday. Mr.
Mayer brings the news to his bud-
dies that the National Commander,
Daniel J. Doherty, has consented to
visit the H. J. Ehlers Post in the
near future. And when the Com-
mander arrives, he will be welcomed.
The H. J. Ehlers Post, recognized
as one of the most active in Texas
(and the entire South) is honored by
being selected from the number of
Texas’ Posts. The visit of Command-
er Doherty will be the occasion for
a large gathering of Legion Buddies
from neighboring Posts.
“The Perfect Specimen”
In pictures, even more than in the
theatre, “the show must go on”—
there's much in the opening showing
at the Cozy Theatre, Wednesday
night, when “The Perfect Specimen”
will be shown. The all-star line, ap-
pearing in the play, are: Erroll
Flynn, Joan Blondell, Dick Foran,
May Robson, Beverly Roberts, Ed-
ward Everett Horton, and Hugh Her-
bert. The story deals with an eccen-
tric old lady possessed of many mil-
lions who has an ambition to see her
grandson raised as an altogether per-
fect young man, and who for that
reason supplies him with an abund-
ance of tutors but keeps him con-
fined to the limits of the family’s
vast estate.
“Madam X”—Friday
A human heart story, a struggling
woman against great odds, “Madame
X” they called her in the hell-haunts
of two worlds ... but they never knew
the drama, the surging inner conflict
hidden behind that name... A pa-
thetic story—but more than that!
A searing emotional experience—that
will have you fighting back the tears
and then gasping for breath to cheer
.... To cheer Gladys George’s magni-
ficent interpretation of a powerful
role—M-G-M’s great production—the
mightiest heart-drama of many a
season! The play features Gladys
George and Warren Williams, it will
be shown'Friday night.
“Outlaws Of The Prairie”
The Cozy offers for Saturday night,
an unusual thriller of the Western
order, in which Charles Starrett and
Donald Grayson are the chief in cast.
Western thrillers, although buried
frequently by critics, ever come back
to the screen because of public de-
mand. The action, no dull moments,
ever gripping, finds place in lovers
of thrills and romance as only the
early days of civilization in the West
can furnish. Starts with a bang—
does “Outlaw of the Prairie”—and
ends with a peaceful scene that holds
the fan with the same grip as it did
at the start. A midnight preview of
Monday’s great picture, “A Damsel
In Distress” will be shown the same
night, beginning at 11:15 o’clock.
“Dinner At The Ritz”
As befits an international star of
her fame, Annabella is starred op-
posite three leading men in her latest
film, “Dinner at the Ritz,” New
World picture released bv Twentieth
Century-Fox, opening at the Cozy
Theatre, Sunday night. Paul Lukas,
David Niven and Romney Brent are
featured in important roles. Lukas
and Niven play romantic parts and
Brent a wise-cracking American re-
porter-detective. Each of the three
has reached the top of film promin-
ence; together they make the picture
as tensely exciting as its star is ex-
citingly lovely. A famous Paris bank-
er is mysteriously killed, the police
term it suicide and his bank fails.
As a result Paul Lukas breaks his
engagement with the banker’s daugh-
ter, Annabella, who is determined to
track down her father’s murderers.
From Paris to Monte Carlo she plays
the game of a gay adventuress.
“A Damsel In Distress”
Sparkling from start to finish a
merrily romantic story, a gronp of
spectacular dances and captivating
Gershwin tunes, Fred Astaire’s and
Burn and Alien’s new starring vehi-
cle, “A Damsel in Distress,” will be
shown Monday at the Cozy Theatre.
The story is based on one of P. G.
Wodehouse’s best-known humorous
tales of English life, with Astaire in
the role of an American dancer who
seeks to rescue a titled British girl
from her impending marriage with a
man she detests. It is complicated in
uproarious fashion by the activities
of a half dozen other principals.
Burns and Allen, as the busy publi-
cists, are at their hilarious best.

Elo Koepke died at the La Grange
Hospital Sunday, January 2, 1938, at
the age of 52 years. Mr. Koepke sub-
mitted to an operation, December 29,
and every hope for his recovery was
held, but He who doeth all things
well deemed it otherwise; Sunday
morning at 10:40 o’clock, God’s finger
touched him, he was called to that
bourne from whence no wanderer re-
turneth.
Funeral services were conducted
from the home of Mr. and Mrs. Her-
mann Quandt, with whom Mr. Koep-
ke made his home for the past year,
Monday afternoon at 1:00 o’clock;
Rev. Bosshard officiated both at the
home and the grave. His remains
were laid to rest in the Townsend
cemetery near Warrenton beside
those of his parents who preceded
him in death. One brother, Willie
Koepke, who was a world war victim,
and who lies buried in Flanders Field,
preceded him. Those who are left to
mourn his going are his three sisters:
Mrs. Herman Quandt, Mrs. Walter
Jurgens of Fayetteville, and Miss
Selma Koepke of Waco, besides other
relatives and a large circle of friends.
Our sympathy is extended; may his
sleep be peaceful.
Sunday afternoon the body of little
2-years old son of Mr. and Mrs. Rud.
Jurecka was laid to rest in the
Catholic cemetery. Services were con-
ducted in the Catholic church at 3:00
o’clock, with Rev. Father Nesvadba
officiating. He is survived by his
parents and several littTfe brothers
and sisters, to whom we extend our
condolence.
“He was budded on earth to bloom
in Heaven.”

LAUTERSTEIN’S
I
siastically acclaimed an accomplished
musician who thoroughly understands
music and knows how to play the
harp in a truly masterful manner.
He now specializes in playing what is
most sublime, uplifting and refresh-
ing in earthly music, the edifying
chorales, hymns and melodies of the
church.
The artist is very ably assisted in
his concerts by his son and daughter
on the Vibra-harp and the Marimba.
This Vibra-harp is rather a new in-
vention in musical instruments, re-
sembling the xylophone, but with
metal pipes below the keys attached
to an electric vibrator to produce a
very beautiful and mellow tone.
The general public is cordially in-
vited to this concert which is free
and open to all. However, a free-will
offering will be taken to which every-
one will gladly contribute after hear-
ing it. •**
The Mothers Club will hold its
regular monthly meeting on Monday,
January 10 at 3:45 p.m., in the High
School auditorium. A large attend-
ance will be appreciated.
MRS. H. C. WILLMANN, Sec’y.
Rev. A. E. Moebus announces that
he has been successful in again se-
curing Otto Baganz, one of the lead-
ing harpists in the United States, for
a concert in the local Zion Ev. Lu-
theran church on the evening of Janu-
ary 11, at 7:30 o’clock. This concert
promises to be a delightful treat to
all lovers of good music.
Mr. Baganz started playing the
harp when he was but nine years old,
his first harp being a rather small
affair set upon a table. Quite a con-
trast is the instrument he now owns
and uses, standing over six feet in
height, and pronounced the finest
harp yet built, most beautiful both as
to construction and tone. It was built
originally for Lyon and Healy, a
widely known music house of Chica-
go, for exhibition at the Century of
Progress Exposition, and required
two years to complete. Merely to see
this marvelous instrument is in itself
well worth while.
In Mr. Baganz the audience will be
privileged to hear an artist of note.
His career includes several seasons
as soloist and assistant harpist for
some of our country’s leading sym-
phony orchestras and numerous con-
cert apeparances in forty-two states
of the Union. Wherever he has ap-
peared he is unreservedly and enthu-
