FLOATSAM AND JETSAM
WEEKLY PROGRAM AT THE
COZY THEATRE
“A Single Man” playing at the
Cozy Wednesday and Thursday bub-
bles with humor that runs like a
sparkling stream throughout the pro-
duction. It has to do with flaming
flappers and collegiate youths who
lead the novelist a merry chase in his
belated quest for romance.
On Friday night don’t fail to see
Tim McCoy in the thrilling picture,
“Morgan’s Last Raid.” You will be
taken back to the days of Rebels and
Yankees, to the days of the Civil War.
Tim McCoy is a member of Morgan’s
gang of marauders, that group of sol-
diers who dealt the Federal troops so
many well planned blows. Tim is in
love with a Federal girl, watch his
dare-devil stunts , and the many chan-
ces he takes to win her hand, which
is indeed a difficult task.
Saturday the Cozy is showing the
star of “Ben Hur” in another great
picture, “The Flying Fleet.” This pic.
ture was made with the cooperation
of the U. S. Navy and is a true record
of the laughs, the loves, the heroism,
and the countless thrills and dangers
of the naval flyers.
William Haynes, in the picture for
Sunday and Monday “Alias Jimmy
Valentine”, plays the part of a mas-
ter criminal who has an unusual sense
of touch which he uses to open count-
less safes. See how he goes “straight”
for the girl he loves and becomes a
cashier in the bank he had planned to
rob! See him save the bank presi-
dent’s daughter from suffocation by
opening the door of the vault with his
sensitive fingers, and how after he
has opened the vault he gives himself
away to the detective who is trying
to capture him.

GOOD NEWS
At a meeting of the State Highway
Commission at Austin, July 31, con-
tracts for 102 miles of highway will
be let. Of interest to the people -of
this section, we are pleased to state
that highway No. 72 from Kana’s cor-
ner to Schulenburg, a distance of 9.7
miles, and on highway No. 73-A, be-
tween East Mill Creek and Industry,
8,8 miles are included ;n the 102 miles.

• much concern in rainy weather. It

folks” can go anywhere, rain or shine.
