spring and summer but anticipate
a slight recession in the fall, prob

going on to new heights of the
depression period. The NRA, he
added, is regarded as fixture. in

But there are still a good many
judges who are sticking to the old
system of giving definite SEN
fences.
"The advantage of the indeter-
inmate sentence is that if pris-
oner is sentenced to from 60 to
90 days, he knows at tn eoutset
that if he behaves himself and
gets into A Grade, he will be able
to get out of prison within sixty
days, but that if he does not be-
have or tries to escape, he will
have to serve out the entire nine

want to get out, as soon as they
can, with the result that most of

COUNTY RELIEF
ROLLS REVEAL
BUSINESS CAIN
Expected Seasonal Increase
Fails to Materialize,
Report Shows.

An optimistic business note has
been struck here with the an
nouncement today by the Cover
nor's unemployment relief commits
sion that wage relief rolls shows
Marion county business conditions
have improved at least 10 per cent
since Oct. /.
Instead of an expected 80 per cent
seasonal increase in the number of
persons on the county wage relief
rolls, the status now is no higher
than it was in September, according
to Joseph H. Crawley, county work
director
AS a result of men dropping off
these rolls it has become necessary
for Mr.. Crawley to halt operations
on some of the less important relief
projects in order that more i'm
portant projects may be completed.
Property improvements being ac-
complished under the federal houS-
ing administration have absorbed
approximately 500 skilled workmen
during the last three weeks who had
been on relief, Mr.. Crawley reported.
Demand for material and supplies
has created openings for other men
who had been forced to depend on
relief work, according to Mr.. Craw-
ley.
The commission expected there
would be $4,000 persons on Marion
county wage relief lists in October
but there now are only approximate
ly 10000 receiving aid in the county

A Great New Team

THOSE who go to the movies
Il regularly always are searching
for a new movie team.
Such a team is found in THE
Gay Divorce" and the couple is
Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.
Mr. Astaire has graced many a
Broadway revue in his time. Since
his sister married and gave up the
stage, Fred has needed a partner
He has found her in Ginger, whom
we all can remember when she was
just getting her start in movie stage
presentations. Miss Rogers has i'm
proved rapidly until she has become
one of the best dancers and one of
the screens most pleasing person.
alities This has come entirely
through years of hard work. When
you see Ginger and Fred dance the
Continental" you will realize that
you are watching a mighty Efficient
dance team. And, by the way, the
second you see this grand new ball
room number you will want to go
right home and practice up on it.
The dance fits right into the
clever story of the wife who wants
to get a divorce from her husband
who is a college professor. Don't get
me wrong. The theme is not treated
seriously at all.
The structure Of Gay Divorcee'
is along legitimate musical lines. All
the situations are bright and many
Of them have been given a new
twist, especially when Ginger, as
Mimi, meets Mr. Astaire as Guy
Holden for the first time.
The entire cast is smart and
smacks of Broadway as it has the
services of Alice Brady, Edward
Everett Horton, Erik Rhodes and
others.
It's a mighty gay picture and one
which you can be sure will give you
a grand and glorious time in the
theater.

Concerning Vaudeville

EDGAR BERGEN, ventriloquist,
- stands out wildly as the star
of the current stage offering at the
Lyric. He is a voice -thrower who
not only knows his particular trick
well, but couples with it the rare
knack of making his vocal "dialog"
humorous.
Other acts on the program, which
is brilliant only in sparse spots, in
clude Bert Nagle and his company
in an offering called Midnight
Serenaders"; the Andrews sisters,
three-part harmony trio, which
sounds much better via radio than
on the stage; the six Candreva
brothers, who mix some good show
manShip with the unusual stunt Of
a six-trumpet combination; and
Legs Lamont in very acceptable
bit of eccentric dancing.
Miss Chic Kennedy is the mistress
of ceremonies for this weeks show,
but falls far short of getting the
response to her quips and imper-
Sonations that she received when on
the Lyric bill three weeks ago.

Theatrical WOrd--
Walter Hampden Presents Stirring
Performance of King Richard III

played by Ricardo Cortez in his
most "snaky" manner. All this
other man" had to offer was some
ardent love making.
1t may be the way the theme has
been developed in the movie which
makes it sound so silly at times.
There is no reason for Hollywood so
often forcing down our threats
stories of wives leaving perfectly
wonderful and ever so perfect hus-
bands for lounge lizards. Personally,
I'm good and tired of this inane
stuff.
At the beginning of the picture,
Miss StanWyck overacts tremen-
dously in about every scene. The
Hollywood formula makes a girl
suffer and suffer when her first
would-be husband is shot down just
before he is TO go to the altar be-
cause he was a rotter.
Any sensible girl would have well
coined the gun play which prevent
ed her from becoming the wife of
a rascal.
Miss Stanwyck failed to convince
me that she was doing good acting
when she ruined the health and
career of her mighty fine husband
on the eve Of his greatest legal
battle.
Miss Stanwyck does come through
with good performance when she
realizes what a fool Marian has
been. l blame the story for her
shortcomings more than I do her.
Of course Frank Morgan gives an
interesting and fine performance.
But the story makes this husband
even too good.
This is just another movie and at
times not even that.
Now at the Circle.
