How to Get It Area JMsra Nominal Co mf Oh yes, the movie, fans dad The Times. The morning paper is always the movie fans' newspaper and who isn't a movie fan? 12,000 El Pasoans attend the motion picture shows daily. Of course, they go in the afternoon and evening. They do their reading in the morning.

That's why the morning paper in El well as in other cities, is favored by motion picture exhibitors. With 12,000 people of El Paso at-tending motion picture theatres every afternoon and evening; with approximately 5,000 automobile owners out with their families in the evening; with scores of social events going on evenings, it stands to reason that the morning paper is really the paper that is read thoroughly.
