Twin Bill at Texas Washington Drive-In Promises Political Parody
The Texas Washington drive-in screens a double feature previewing federal and state politics. The front film, The Consumer and How To Protect Him, comes from Capitol Studios. the rear film, The Come-and-Go Surplus, and Can We Run the Schools With It, stems from Lone Star Studios. Texas Manufacturers Association head Bill Gray warns lawmakers focus on Public School finance, utilities commission, and prison reform while noting a $1.5 billion surplus. He cites rising federal intrusion as Congress enacts new consumer protection laws with environmental implications. The era’s debates include right-to-work, potential Taft-Hartley Act changes, and Equal Rights for Women amendments, all shaping a theatrically stacked policy show.
