story that ran for months on the legi-
timate stage in New York, back in
the early 1890’s. Now, with the con-
veniences of operation, and erection
of scenery at the studios, that the
average stage could not provide, the
great story is produced on the talking
screen; it will be presented Wednes-
day and Thursday nights at the Cozy.
Rochelyle Hudson and Henry Fonda
are co-starred.
“Another Face”
Friday, with continuous shows be-
ginning at 4:30 in the afternoon,
“Another Face”—farce comedy—will
be offered. Sandwiched in between
sinister drama, this picture, in bur-
lesquing the business of picture mak-
ing and of star making, provides
much audience entertainment and
plenty of suggestions that should
make for unique selling campaigns.
Smartly blending its various ele-
ments, it starts out with vivid gang-
ster atmosphere, turns to ridiculous
comedy and winds up with a bit of
drama quite likely to whirl audiences
into a dither of excitement.
James Dunn—“The Pay-off”
Saturday night another newspaper-
man picture, featuring James Dunn
and Claire Dodd will be the attrac-
tion, it concerns the activities of a
columnist, his contact with the gamb-
ling fraternity, his exposes of crooked
sports, his downfall at the hands of
racketeers and ultimate return to the
top. It is not a pretentious picture
by any means, but it is one that does
afford entertainment to audiences not
too discriminating. Glimpses of thrill-
ing action incident to various sport-
ing events of major importance are
interspersed throughout the film, such
as horse racing, baseball, boxing and
football.
“It’s In The Air”—Sunday
Comedy, thrills and romance are
combined in showing of Metro-Gold-
wyn-Mayer’s “It’s in the Air,” at the
Cozy Theatre, Sunday night, to cause
the audience to thrill, chill and shrill
with delight. Jack Benny, public
hero of the air waves, will be defi-
nitely established as one of the
screen’s ace comedians by the enthu-
siastic audience. As the Broadway
“chiseler” who loses his wife because
of his shady dealings, but wins her
love again and becomes a national
hero by making a record-breaking
stratosphere flight, Benny turns in
a Sterling performance.
“Special Agent”
Here is another version of the typi-
cal gangster-federal man theme, car-
rying the usual melodramatic, roman-
tic contrast and only a modicum of
comedy. By nature it is exciting,
capitalizes on the usual suspense
thread, condemning society’s enemies
to the “crime does not pay” tune and
heroizing the defenders of law and
order. Ricordo Cortez appears as
Carston, the boss racketeer, George
Brent as the G-man (Bradford) and
Bette Davis as Julie Gardener—the
woman, for whom Bradford falls.
A cleansing dose todag; a smaller
quantity tomorrow; less each time,
until bowels need no help at all.
ANY mother knows the reason
■f® when her child stops playing, eats
little, is hard to manage. Constipation.
But what a pity so few know the
sensible way to set things right!
The ordinary laxatives, of even
ordinary strength, destroy all hopes
of restoring regularity.
A liquid laxative is the answer,
mothers. The answer to all your
worries over constipation. A liquid
can be measured. The dose can be
exactly suited to any age or need.
Just reduce the dose each time, until
the bowels are moving of their own
accord and need no help.
This treatment will succeed with
any child and with any adult.
Doctors use a liquid laxative.
Hospitals use the liquid form. If it
is best for their use, it is best for
home use. The liquid laxative they
generally use is Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup
Pepsin. Any druggist has it.

Couple Surprise
Parents—F riends
These youngsters have a way “all
their own;” nothing in ridicule, but
in the friendliest manner at com-
mand, the Journal editor mentions—
with admiration for keeping it secret
and “putting it over” the parents—
that Willie Witt, Jr., son of Mr. and
Mrs. Wm. Witt of Rabb’s Prairie and
Miss Minna Koenig, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. A. W. Koenig, “slipped
away at an opportune moment, (Sun-
day, October 27, to be exact) hiked
for Giddings, secured the license, and
then on to Elgin, where Rev. Engling,
pastor of the Lutheran church, joined
them in wedlock.
Time marches on; inopportune mo-
ments—(they will materialize)—pre-
vented the mention, and delay follow-
ed. Gently, the news was broken,
Sunday, and after the shock came the
forgiveness. And now both, the girl’s
parents and the boy’s parents, and
the young couple, also, are receiving
congratulations.
The Journal wishes Willie and hiB
bride the fulfillment of their fondest
wishes by them encouraged. Mar-
riages are recognized throughout the
civilized world as of Divine sanction.
The culmination of romance blends
with the incident itself, and happi-
ness sits upon the throne.
Youngsters of today inherit—from
sources to us unknown—the innate
desire for the feature that’s new. Nice
to have doting parents, encouraging
forgiving natures. And what a thrill
to witness the surprise of friends
Dispel the idea that keeping it secret
is a lost art.
LaGrange has, in the last two
weeks, given the public, two incidents
that place a new star in the surprise
chamber. Page Ripley, the “Believe
it or Not” cartoonist.

More than $1,000,000 in ad valorem
taxes are being paid this week by the
United Gas System in Texas, Louis-
iana, and Mississippi, Joe Kaye, local
manager announced Wednesday. Of
this amount, Texas will be paid $554,-
000, Louisiana $423,000, .and Missis-
sippi $98,000.
This tax payment is one of the
largest of such disbursements ever
made by the System, Mr. Kaye said.
Checks are being made out to coun-
ties and parishes, some amounting to
as much as $23,000. Those of South-
west Louisiana will receive $101,-
279.48, the statement shows.
Disbursements of these taxes will
be completed early in January, Mr.
Kaye said.
The growth of the natural gas in-
dustry to a point where it pours more
thon a million dollars a year into tax
funds and provides employment for
thousands of people in this area has
been remarkable, said Mr. Kaye, con-
sidering the fact that natural gas for
commercial purposes was not devel-
oped extensively until after 1926.
Miss Gussie Huebner, R.N., of Fort
Sam Houston, San Antonio, is spend-
ing a month here with relatives, en-
joying a much needed rest.
