wage, but now received about $5000 week. Some $40OO of this, count ing salary and bonuses, Is tucked in her pay envelope; the additional thousand is paid for Endorsements.
 The cost of being Shirley Tenn pie is small, and nearly all the $5000 is saved for her n trust fund. The studio furnishes all her clothes, and she doesn't have to give cock tail parties as do the adult stars.
 A good many incidentals are cov- cred by the sum paid Mama Tenn pie for accompanying Shirley to and from the studio. And Papa Tenn pie is doing very well in his own right, being the assistant manager of branch bank in Los Angeles.
 A lawyers fee, vacations, occa- sional advertisements in trade pub lications, salaries paid two young women who sort her fan mail, the wage of the bodyguard named Grif- hthS, and a personal allowance Of $4.25 a week are the only other ex- penses, and they don't make much of dent in her income.
 
 Million Dollar Asset
 Since her debut, at 3, in 8 series of short Baby Burlesk" comedies, Shirley has appeared in 14 feature productions and will start the 18th shortly after her birthday. The last seven films have netted a profit of more than a million dollars each.

 Don't miss seeing MT. Deeds Goes To Town" if you would see a pie ture destined to be selected among the ten best produced during 1936. Everybody in town is talking about 1t ad that should be recommends ton enough for you to want to catch it before it closes at the State on Friday night.
 Saturday brings another outstand- ing production in "13 Hours By Air" starring Fred MacMurray and Joan Bennett with Zasu Pitts, John Howard, Bennie Bartlett, Grace Bradley, Alan Baxter, Brian Don- levy, Ruth Donnelly and Fred Keat- ing. Here is action excitement, thrills and romance all aboard a great transcontinental air liner as it zooms across the country from New York to San Francisco. It's story of eight people living thir- teen adventurous hours 10000 feet above the earth of pilot with murder on his trail. and girl on his mind and plane to bring to Frisco on time.
 Fred MacMurray, fresh from his triumph in "The Trail or The Lonesome Pine" is superb and Joan Bennett is more beautiful and allur- ing than ever.
 The companion feature will be "The House Of A Thousand Can dles", a tale of espionage and the battle of wits between international diplomats to keep Europe out of war It's a different type of story than the usual run of screen fare and splendid entertainment.

POLES

The current attractions at Polls and which continue until tomorrow night, "The Big House" and "Danc- ing Lady" are playing to large audi ences, and the concensus of opinion Is that thees two pictures make an exceptionally fine program. Wallace Beery, Robert Montgomery and Chester Morris are the featured players in the dramatic smash hit, '"The Big Housce" which is a prize winning film. It Is filled with ac- ton, suspense and thrills which have not been depicted in any other picture of its kind and is also sprinkled throughout with humor which varies from the ordinary run of photoplays.
 Dancing Lady" has a really great cast included in which are :Joan Crawford, Clark Gable, Fred Astaire, Ted Healy and Franchot Tone. This most beloved singing, dancing, com- edy screen attraction surpasses Metro -Goldwyn- Mayors Broadway Melody" the former peer of all mu- sical films.
 These two hit pictures were brought back to Polls at the request of hundreds of patrons who either have seen them before and want to see them again, or were unable to see them during their previous en- gagement.
 Tonight is the night so many Poli patrons look forward to every week when they can see two fine pictures and also play Screeno.
 Screeno is that new, fascinating Hollywood sensational game that everyone is talking about. It is funny, has thrills galore and at the same time is profitable to many lucky players. Everyone has an equal chance and all enjoy playing Screeno.

 Hollywood, April 23.-The screens No. box office attraction is 2 years old to-day, and a lot of people may be wondering how many years re- main in her astonishing career.
 Will Shirley Temple be washed up, automatically, before she's 102 Or will her popularity grow with the number of candles 50 frankly displayed on her birthday confec- tions?
 The answer is ives" and ''no," together with an equivocal may be-" Perhaps fickle fans will grow tired of her; stranger things have happened. There's no sign of wan- ing popularity, after three years, yet 1t may have been as business precaution- and not as practical indorsement of the proposed child labor amendment that Daryl Zan- uck Topped Shirleys schedule from four to three pictures year.
 Perhaps (horrendous thought somebody will eclipse her-some- body more talented, cutter, Sweeter, prettier. Or some small, homely hellion with captivating bent for mischief.
 Must Get Older
 Adolescence may in everything. Little girls seem to have 8 way of growing all into arms and legs. But when and if this happens, Uncle Darryl-or whoever then is the boss doubtless will have a suitable, awkward-age role all ready for her.
 There's 8 need for early-'teen actresses even now, to forestall the possibility of Claudette Colbert or Katharine Hepburn putting her hair in braids and hippety hopping into the lead of National Vlvet."
 MT. Zanuck says just about what you'd expect a proud producer to say: "Shirley's career has only be- gun. She has shown 8 steady de- velopment physically and mentally. Because she is a born actress, I be- lieve she will have no in-between tn- terval in which suitable roles can't be found for her."
 
 Nature Holds Reins
 Mama Temple isn't quite 50 con- fident about Shirley's coltish years. "Of course, it's possible that she'll have to retire, Mrs. Temple says. But later, if Shirley is willing, she will be given every opportunity for a screen comeback. All we can do is let Nature take its course"
