 Shirley Temple, surrounded by . superlative cast in "The Poor Little Rich Girl" and High Tension" With Brian DonleVy and Qlenda Farrell are the two features which form one of the best programs shown during the current season. Shirley Temple is ct her best in this bright- est, most modern, most human drama she has yet played in.
 Her -hoing with Alice Faye, dancing with the song-and.dance man Jack Haley, arc the high-Spots of "The Poor Little Rich Girl" The five new songs are typical Temple numbers, catchier than ever and her dance routines are brand new, more intricate and amusing than eyer.
 She laughs and cries with beau. tlful Gloria Stuart and Michaei Whalen is the one she makes love to'
 Whalen plays the part of her inc mensely wealthy father who IS too busy to pay much attention to ms daughter. Shirley runs away ana has some decidedly humorous ad" ventures before she meets Alice Faye and Haley, who are trying to get . "break" on the radio.

You must remember 1t. Manys the time in riding to New York in the good old days when this trip was always by train we recall passing the printing plant of William Edwin Rudge in Mount Vernon. It was right by the New Haven Road tracks, so you couldn't help seeing 1t you happened to be riding on the west side of the train Remember that odd looking stone
 It was only in 1921 that the plant was moved to Will sons Woods but in the last IS years 1t became land mark. However the original Rudge printing plant was right close by and that built in 1873 the pres ent proprietors father. William Edwin Rudge was not commercial printer of volume. He produced for beauty alone In the printing trade he saw chance for craftsmanship and he labored for years to exat and raise his calling As printer of fine things he universally honored In 1925 he rep resented the United States printing industry at the 1n- ternationa Exposition. . . Today his printing house
 has gone under the hammer because evidently the world cares little for beauty in the printed product but much for speed and volume.

REC0RDAUT0
YEARHERE
BY OSCAR COOLICAN
President, Washington AutOmOtivO
Trade Association

The fast-growing city Of Wash
ington and the automobile industry
are rolling along together!
The year has seen the National
Capitals population pass the 600,-
900 mark-an all-time peak-and
by the end Of this year automobile
sales here also will have reached
a new level.
Records up to and through the
month of october reveal Washing
ton residents purchased 27,539 new
passenger cars, only 1,439 less than
the number sold during the entire
year of 1885.
With new models shown at the
Seventeenth Annual Automobile
Show certain to catch the public's
eye, sales during the remainder Of
the year are expected to bring the
1886 total to $4,000.
Show Spurts Sales
This calculation is based on last
years figures, when 5000 machines
we're sold during November and
December after the opening of the
automobile show.
Prior to last year, 1881 had been
the biggest year in the history of
the automobile business here.
That year 23,164 passenger cars
were sold.
June. 1896, was the biggest
single month so far as the volume
of sales for this year is concerned.
That month 4,014 cars were sold
by Washington automobile
dealers.
Business leaders acknowledge
that the motor vehicle trade is one
of the best barometers of a city's
commerce. The statistics which
present here seem to indicate
very healthy condition SO far as
business in the District of Colum-
bia is concerned.
Best Ever
I am confident that the seven
teenth annual Automobile Show
will surpass in magnitude and
public interest any automobile
show heretofore held in the Cap
ital. I believe, too, that the year
which the new models represent
1937-will be another ord
breaking year for the automobile
business.
The automobile show, which, as
was the case last year, is being
staged in Calvert Exhibit Hall,
2701 Calvert st. N. w., has been
planned with the idea that sales
of the new year will reach a new
high mark.

Haney FOreseeS Huge
Buying Year Ahead

we have the basis for a good auto
mobile year in desire for new cars
and in the will to buy them, but
also we find a strong probability
that the purchasing power will be
available. There will be a strong
tendency for the people to expect
government to provide purchasing
power, and the government prob
ably will think that it can do so,
in one way or another.
Already as an immediate send
off for the new year, much money
is being distributed in the shape
of windfalls. The Government
tax on undistributed Government
earnings is pumping out large divi-
dend distributions. These are be-
ing accompanied by large bonus
payments to laborerS. The Gov.
ernment is sending out many mil.
lions in the shape of soil conServa-
ton checks to farmers. More
sound and fundamental than this
is the fact that factory employ.
ment and pay rolls are in the ris-
ing trend.
1t is my conclusion that 1887
will probably be an outstanding
automobile year for the medium
priced group of cars. During the
depression the demand ran strong.
ly to the low-priced car, and such
great Improvements were made in
it that it became decidedly pre-
dominant. Now that the average
earnings of the individual have in.
creased, it seems probable that the
desire for "a little more car" will
manifest itself.

Bedtime Stories
The Mystery Grows.

it was all imaginary, for when these
people who thought they had seen a
wild man we're questioned they always
we're vague Usually they had seen a
moving shadow which had, to their
imaginations, taken the shape of a
man. OF course these stories were
repeated and, growing with every repe-
tition. made many of those living in
the neighborhood more and more fear
full. Stories of wild men and Of the
fierceness Of Mountain Lions were
told and retold.
Every day the search was continued,
but it was all useless. Not a single
trace Of anything unusual was found.
There were no footprints. There was
simply nothing out of the usual.
Farmer Browns Boy and Farmer
Brown still worked at the sugar camp,
but they did not stay there nights.
They did not want to leave Mother
Brown alone. All the time he was
tramping around through the woods
collecting the pals of sap, Farmer
Browns Boy kept studying and study
ing about this matter of the strange
scream, and the more he studied about
it the surer he was that there must
be natural and simple explanation
for it. He didn't believe the wild man
story and he was beginning to doubt
his own idea that a Mountain Lion
had been in the neighborhood. for he
felt sure that some sign Of the Lion
would have been found.
1T is some other animal we haven't
thought OF" said Farmer Browns Boy
(Copyright. 1861
Evening star., 1936-04-22

n YOTHING grows quite so fast as
N a story, the kind of a story
that We call rumor. A strange,
L startling scream had been
heard in the woods in various parts
of the neighborhood in which Farmer
Browns farm was situated. Farmer
Browns Boy himself had heard it
when he had spent night alone In
the sugar camp in the Green Forest.
Had but one person heard it, not much
attention would have been paid to the
story, but several persons had heard
it on different nights and in widely
separated places. 1t was a scream
such as no one in all that neighbor-
hood had ever heard before, and
there was a strangely human sound
to it. On this all agreed.
Some one suggested that probably
there was a wild man, or a crazy man.
living in the woods. and at once this
became the general belief. People
imagined that they heard strange
sounds and were sure that they were
made by wild man. The women and
children were dreadfully frightened.
None would go out alone Even some
of the men shared in this fear. A
hunt by armed men was organized and
the woods all about were searched.
