Fifty Years of Power
Thia month marks the 60th anni-
versary of the opening of the first
electrical central station in the
world by Thomas A. Edison on
Pearl street, New Yorit. This mod-
est plant, with a capacity of only 750
horsepower, was the beginning of
the electric power and light industry.
When first put into operation on
September 4, 4882, the Pearl Street
station had only 69 customers. Elec-
trical companies in the Greater New
York area now have more than two
million, while there are more than
24 million power end light customers
in the United States. The total in-
vestment in the industry is now ap-
proximately 13 billion dollars.
More amazing even than thia prod-
igious growth is the astounding ef-
fect produced upon the living habits
of mankind. There Is hardly a
phase of human existence that is not
touehed by the magic of electricity,
and its future possibilities are bound-
less.
It is doing the drudgery of the
world and has added to its comforts
and conveniences in thousands of
stays undreamed of even by the great
Edison in his tiny Pearl Street Sta-
tion a half century ago.

Make Plans For
Fair Press Day
Plans for Press Day at the 1932
State Fair of Texas, which will be
hdd Saturday, Oct. 8, were discuss-
ed at a recent meeting between
Lowry Martin of Corsicana, presi-
dent of the Texas Press Association;
Sam P. Ilarben, secretary of the as-
sociation, and Otyo Herold and Roy
Rupard, president and secretary, res-
pectively, of the State Fair Associa-

was decided to have the Pres* Day
luncheon on Peacock Terrace, at the
Baker Hotel. Among the courtesies
which will be extended member* of

celebration, will be tickets to the
“Dream Girl Follies,” the Auditori-

which Alice Joy, dream girl of radio-
land, and Henry Bantrsy's hand will
b« the features.
Other plan* are being worked out
to make the 1932 Press Day at th#
State Fair one of the most elaborate
in the history of the State Fair of
Texas.

Frederic March Plays
Dual Role at the Best
Frederic March need little press-
agenting at the present time. Much
too soon after “Dr. Jekyl and Mr.
Hyde" for folks to have forgotten
the superb depth of,this great star’s
talent. However, if the knowing the-
atre patron is looking for an anti-
climax in March's next attempt, they
will look in vain. "Stranger* in
Love,” will be shown at the Best
Theatre here Sunday and Monday,
and is every bit as fine entertain-
ment in its line as “Dr. Jekyl and
Mr. Hyde” was in its forte, and that's
considerable.
March enacts the role of an usurp-
ing son who forges a will to deprive
a brother of his inheritance, and also
the role of the adventuresome vaga-
bond brother who comev into hi*
own after a series of thrilling and
romantic episodes
The cast of “Strangers hi Ixive” is
a representative one. Kay Francis,
whom we secretly believe tq be the
most gracious lady in pictures, is op-
posite Marsh. Stewart Erwin fur-
nishes chuckles.
Scenes are lavishly set in New
York and Long Island.
