T. U. CONFERENCE Lavish stage settings, dazzling costumes and musical numbers hat promise to become nationwide hits have been crowded into one of the most original motion picture productions to emanate in Hollywood and which serves as Marion Davies' new Cosmopolitan starring vehicle for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. It is "Going Hollywood" which plays the Baker Theatre at a mid night show Saturday at 11:15 and Sunday afternoon and Monday matinee and night. The picture is described as a view of Hollywood itself, with all the glamor of the motion picture world thrust into an hour and half's screen entertainment.

As an orphaned girl, Sylvia Bruce, played by Marion Davies, while teaching dancing in a girls' private school falls in love with the voice of a radio crooner whom she has never seen. She goes out to get her man, discovers that he is "Going Hollywood" to star in a motion picture and that he is taking along a peppery temperamental French actress, played by Fifi D'Orsay, to co-star with him in the production. Sylvia manages to go along and the complications that arise furnish the comedy and drama for the story. Ed Kasch and Henry Hartung were here from San Marcos Monday. WANTED: Good clean rags.

The date has not been set nor have the players been named, will soon be out for was explained today by officials of the Texas Power Light Company, who are appealing to parents to warn youthful kite-flyers to keep away from wires. "Several fatal accidents already have occurred this spring as a I result of boys flying kites too near electric wires." according to M.

G. Hyltin, district manager of the electric company, "and we want to impress on parents and children the dangers of letting kites and kite strings come in contact with wires. Above all, children should be cautioned never to use wire in the place of string when flying kites, for if the wire should fall cross an electric line, the current would flash to the person holding iU Whenever kites become entangled in electric wires, don't climb poles or use long sticks to remove it. Call the company and a lineman will be sent to get it down, if possible. Another wise precaution is not to fly kites during a rain, as a wet string is almost as dangerous a wire should it come in contact with an electric line.

Kites with metal frames, or wood frames braced with wire, should not be used."
