q picture Of Shirley Temple fell out,
and on it in large, bold letters was
written: ITO Mr.. Melcher-love,
Shirley Temple" Miss Temple had
o little trouble with the has is
evidenced by an extra amount OF
scratching up and down the "h's"
right rib. But on the whole the sig
nature is very clear and very large
and VIC will wager it has more value
than any other picture which might
come out of Hollywood at this time.
Thus do young stars shower their
good will upon drama scriveners
tucked away in corners of the world
and thus do they make their jobs
pleasanter. But have you, by any
chance, ever heard Of Barbara
Stanwyck, or a Greta Garbo, or a
Mary Pickford suddenly ''up" and
ripping out with an unsolicited photo?
Have you ever heard of Bernard Shaw
sending his autograph to one OF the
London reviewers?
Ah, no. It remains for the youngest
and perhaps brightest star of them
all to lead the way-and to kick up
O new dawn with a smile that is loved
the world over. And so, with great
admiration and with many thanks for
having turned a dull morning into
gala day, we salute little Miss Shirley
Temple and thank her for her picture,
for herself and for an art which has
put the younger generation momen-
tarily on top of the world.

did nimbly with the assistance OF Miss

at you as she dished you out R-K-O

told them that Fred Astaire will be-

BY this Mr.. Gould means that Mr..
Astaire. who has recently completed

have lady cinema patrons in state
of polite dither over him, and that
local celebrities, such as Mrs. John
(Francise) McCammon, who swears
only by Mr.. Chevalier, will transfer
their affections in q jiffy to Fred
when they see him.
Mr.. Astaire, the best dancer OF his
type in the world, has now something
to live up to. Having seen snatches
OF "The Gay Divorce" recently In
Hollywood we know that the film will
be lavish. tuneful and full of those
splendid dance maneuvers which have
put Mr.. Gould way up In professional

that puts the film up another peg.

COOLING RAINS
BRING END TO
TERRIFIC HEAT

Overcast skies and gentle, cooling
breezes today brought relief to In
dianapolis after a weeks heat wave,
ciimaxed by three 100-degree days.
At a. m. it was only 81 and j..
H. Arlington, federal meteorologist,
said he believed that it would not
go much above 80 all day. The
thermometer dipped down to 70 be-
tween l and 2 this morning after a
shower which brought the city .06
inches of rain.
Tomorrow may see a drop of 10 or
IS degrees in the temperature, Mr.
Arlington said. Today probably
will remain cloudy and there is a
possibility of rain with scattered
showers, purely local, due tomorrow.
Last nights rain was heavy in
some portions of the state, with 1872
inches falling at Columbus.
Yesterday, the heat took one life
and lightning, striking northeast OF
the city, another. Four persons were
overcome. At FIT. Benjamin Har-
rison the lightning did several thou
sand dollars damage to government
equipment.
The heat victim was Glen r.
Johnson, IS, of 1857 North Delaware

SECOND DEATH
STAY GRANTED

Governor Issues Reprieve to
Permit Application for
New Trial.

OSSINING, N. Y, June 30
Crucifix candles burned in Sing
Sing death cell today while Mrs
Anna Antonio, her life dramatically
spared for the second time just be-
fore she was to die in the electric
chair, prayed fervently for perma-
nent reprieve,
A shaved spot on her head-Shaved
to receive the death voltage of the
chair which in all its history has
killed but three women, was hidden
by towel. She did not remove it
even while she talked for what she
thought was the last time with her
brother.
"Oh, thank God" the 28-year -olo
mother breathed last night when
Warden Lewis E. Lawes told her
that Governor Lehman had granted
a second stay of execution. She was
to have died at IL o'clock.
The first stay, granted twenty
four hours earlier when one of two
men accused with MIS-. Antonio OF
plotting the death Of her husband
to collect his insurance, made q
laSt-minute confession that tended
to abSolve her.
Had Abandoned Hope
Both reprieves came after hope
was virtually abandoned. Scarcely
recovered from fainting spells of the
first days waiting for word from
the Governor, Mrs. Antonio ap-
peared in a daze. Recovering mo-
mentarily, she asked a matron tC
speak to her, as if needing proof
that she still was alive.
Clad in a loosely fitting blue
kimona, she lay on her low prison
cot and murmured prayers inces-
sanity.
The reprieves delayed execution
until the week of July 9.
The two men sentenced to death
with Mrs. Antonio, Vincent Saetta
and Samuel Feraci, were outwardly
unmoved. Saetta, whose eleventh
hour confession assumed entire
blame for the murder, said only:
Il don't expect anything. I'm will
ing to pay the price"
Thinks Confession a Lie
Governor Lehman announced
from his home in New York that he
would grant the stay to permit OPP
portunity for filing motion for a
new trial. He said he had con-
ferred with District Attorney John
Delaney who, although believing the
confession was without merit,
thought that in the interest of JUS
tice stay should be granted.
Mr.. Delaney said he believed the
confession IAN absolute fabrication
of lies"
Saetta's confession said that he
alone killed Antonio, following a
personal quarrel over money.
