Shirley Temple Is
Columbia Star

Shirley Temple, q charming and
gifted child actor, began q return
engagement at Loew's Columbia
theater yesterday. Many q day
has passed since the screen pre-
sented such q natural and de-
lightful little player: in fact, none
except Jackie Coogan could be
comparable. So the lovely doll
like baby steps firmly into the
hearts of a welcoming and admir-.
ing public.
Damon Runyon's story, Little
Miss Marker" has been discussed
pro and con as a suitable vehicle
for an innocent youngster, but so
adroitly and so smoothly has the
race-track yarn been untolded,
that the seamy side is quite sub
merged by the more lofty and
idealistic parts.
Despite the fact that the play
deals with crooked bookmaking
gang, a fast and loose mode OF
living amongst the habitues, which
is bringing such extensive criti'
cism now throughout the industry,
Little Miss Marker" still remains
a very worthwhile performance.
MenjOu Shines
Adolphe Menjou steps right up
and does a perfect role. Cast as
a hard.boiled roue. who under the
veneer, has a great big heart,
Menjou is superb. Every gesture
is undenlably perfection.
The late Dorothy Dell in the
feminine lead is also excellent,
lending sincerity and finesse to
the whole performance. Charles
Bickford heads a supporting cast
chosen without exception with un'
erring judgment.
The Magic Carpet" is an in

Big Outings Set
For Seaside

Not the least Of the many
diversions offered recreation
seekers at Seaside Park is the
weekend dancing in the breeze
swept bayside ballroom. AS the
season progresses the Saturday
night and Sunday dances become
more and more popular, due
largely to the excellent music
supplied by the SouthernerS, led
by smiling Frank Flanagan.
The band is kept so busy on
Saturday night particularly that
the boys have hardly time to
stretch during the course Of the
evening. Flanagan plays the
guitar and does a little grooming
on the side.
The salt water pool continues
to be the prime attraction Of the
resort, however. Everyone who
visits Seaside wants to take a re-
freShing dip in the pool during
the course Of the day. Life guards
are ever on hand to keep a care
full eye.
Tomorrow Seaside will play
host to three large outings. The
Mutual Aid Society, the st.
Georges Society and the Wash.
ington Assembly No. 81, Artisans
Order of Mutual Protection, have
arranged a program Of games and
athletic contests for their men,
berS.
The biggest outing Of the sea-
son will be held next Thursday
at Seaside when approximately
10000 persons gather at the park
for the annual farmers picnic OF
the Maryland Tobacco Growers
Association.

It's hard to believe that the
Phil O'Brien who waves baton
over the heads of Dave McW1l-
liams's Spanish Garden Ballroom
Orchestra at Glen Echo Park, is
the same Phil who may be seen
in the court room almost any day
in the week.
Phil has been directing the
orchestra at Glen Echo for seven
years. playing at nights and prac-
ticing law during the day time.
Quite often men engaged in vari-
GUS professions during the day
double UP and take care OF an
other job at night, but rarely
does one hear Of an attorney who
has made such an outstanding
success in both Of his professions.
OF course to start with Phil

calling for a creScendo there, a

the change he might ring the

Illinois Jobless Increase
While Relief Is Cut

DAILY Worker Midwest Bureau
CHICAGO, June 8.-Fiftv thou
sand less families are now recaiv-
ing relief in Illinois than in Nav.
1884, due largely to "a closer con-
troll over the relief care load due
to more e-ecuate trained personnel"
according to : statement Issued by
the Illinois Emergency Relief on
June 6.
The number Of families on relief
in the state outside of Cock County
reached an all-tine high in My
with 139,2A3 as compared to the
high point in 1898 of 120994. Mil
liant struggles Of the unemployed
throughout Central and Southern
Illinois are undoubtedly responsible
fer this increase. In this increase,
also, is to be found the reason for
the violent attack against militant
workers in that territory which
reached a climax in the arrest Of
II workers last week end on charges
Of conspiracy.
Further cuts are the prospect for
