- CUSTOMS PORT
SHOWS LARGE
BUSINESS DONE
NOGALES, Aug. 6 (by Associated
Press).—The tdtal value of exports
and imports passing through the Mex
i^pui border ports of Arizona in the
fiscal year ending June 30 was $37,
733,532. Exports were $13,616,772;
imports $25,116,760. The figures were
announced by H. E. Burner, deputy
customs collector at the Port of No
gales. More than one-half of the total
business of the Arizona district was
handled through the office here, he
said.
Collections for the year on customs
at this port as duties were $201,399,
17.
Commission men in both Nogales,
Ariz, and Nogales, Sonora, said the
^^fal business of the port would have
been much greater had not the strike
on the Southern Pacific de Mexico
railway lines occurred at a time when
vast crop movements were under way
from the Mexican coast into the
United States. This strike was set
tled by then governor of Sonora, de
la Huerta,-now president of Mexico.
The Obregon revolution followed
soon after the strike and further hind
-*ered crop movements. Mexican and
American commission men assert that
because of 'these two interruptions un
told quantities of tomatoes, cabbage
and other vegetables rotted on the
ground.

Coming Monday is a seven reel
Rex Beach thriller, “The Heart of
the Sunset.” This is one of a series
of Eminent Author productions put
out by the Goldwyn company, which
are personally directed by the author.
It is a melodramatic romance of the
Great Southwest in the not far gone
days when Uncle Sam, angered be
yond patience, stepped into Vera
Cruz with a mighty fleet of dread
naughts behind him and took nagg
ing Mexico by the back of the neck
and shook until its teeth chattered.
But “Heart of the Sunset” is by
no means a war picture. Rather, a
fascinating story of the borderland,
woven, ■with the skill for which Rex
Beach is famous, around the lives of
two people widely separated by sta
tion and environment. A picture
thrilling with action and vivid with
the brawn and courage of the typi
cal young American. The leading
rbawicters are played by Anna Q.
Nildson, Herbert Heyes, Robert Tab
er and E. L. Fernandez.

seems, has achived another success
by winning its advent into the cattle
russtling business. The old and well
known practice of cattle rustlers
when they used to drive their stolen
herds before them, is now a thing of
the past. 'A few days ago three
calves were stolen from herds near
Benguogh and spirited across the in
ternational border in two motor cars.
Three of the rustlers were arrested
on this side of the line and two of
the other rustlers were taken in Mon
tana and all three are now awaiting
trial.

STRONG BILLS
ARE OFFERED
AT EMPRESS
Shirley Mason, in addition to being
a pretty girl, has an appealing per
sonality that is especially effective in
the delightful little play, “The Final
Closeup,” which is showing tonight
for the last time. The picture is a
riot of fun from beginning to end,—
not the noisy slapstick variety, but
the kind that keeps you chuckling.
The plot is cleverly worked out to a
most satisfactory conclusion, and the
name of the picture itself catchy
as it is, aptly fits both picture and
dainty star.
Tomorrow night a strong drama is
offered, when Wallace Reid appears
in “The Source.” Wallace Reid has
ever been a favorite in Cordova and
this is one of his best pictures. The
play is based on the story of the
same name which appeared in the
Saturday Evening Post, and which
many of us read. The role affords
Mr. Reid an interesting study in psy
chology, the story is an absorbing one
its theme being the splendor of
courage roused in a man where it has
long been dormant—the regeneration
of a derelict. The supporting cast
is worthy of especial mention for
they add materially to the strength
of the picture. It is only necessary
to mention such names as Theodore
Roberts, Charles Ogle, Raymond Hat
ton and Ann Little to guarantee
