Indian Lore OF
Valley Related

An audience of forty greeted G.
o. Bunnell Wednesday afternoon
upon his appearance before the
Woman's Club of White Bluffs at
it's January study meeting to talk
on Indian lore. Preceding his talk,
program of Indian music, an
ranged by Mrs I. B. Burns, was
given, Mrs. A. Parke playing Mac
Dowell's "F'rom An Indian Lodge
and Mrs. Burns singing "By the
Waters of the Minnetonka" and
From the Land of the Skyblue
Water"
The study of Indian life, customs
and legends, Mr.. Bunnell said, has
been his hobby since boyhool. AS
a background for his talk, he be-
gan with a description of the local
geological formations and showed
how surviving legends of the In
dams correspond, though rather
Enthusiastically, to geologically estab-
lished facts. These legends, he said
go back to the beginning of crea-
ton as does the earliest written
history of the white man. An in
teresting relation was that of the
origin of two granite pillars that
lie near tine highway across the
river from Maryhill.
Mr.. Bunnell said that the white
bluffs, or cliffs, across the Column
bia, from which the town of White
Bluffs takes it's name, were built
up from sediment deposited during
the centuries in which AN inland
sea spread itself over this entire
part of the country and existed UNI

valley, Mr.. Bunnell said, runs par
allel to that of the Grand Coulee.
The rock writings and paintings,
and the arrowheads to be found
along the Columbia valley, accord
ing to Mr.. Bunnell, are believed to
be not the work of our present day
Indians but of their predecessors,
whose history may be traced thru
relics and bones that are gradually
being turned up by excavators.
Theories as to who these early
people, or peoples, were, include a
guess that they might have been
Orientals who wandered across
Boring Strait. 1t is known that
some of them were of race of
dwarfs and a skull recently un-
earthed in Benton county points to
the fact that a race of giants might

intensity that is gripping, and
he conveys more drama in a
single word than many can give
in a whole scene. Enrol Flynn,
as the cynical. daredevil ace
who is promoted" from his
amazing teats to commander,
does his best acting to date, and
his tragedy is equally as poign-
ant as that of Niven and Rath-
bone. In fact, these three are
something to shout about.
A GRAND ACTOR
However, they are not alone.
There is Donald Crisp, as the
man who must steady the nerve
wracked commanders. He has
one scene that is a show-stopper,
and for the rest of the time. his
presence is felt in every part of
the picture. He's grand actor.
Also there is one. Carl Esmond
as a German prisoner. who.
without speaking a word of Eng
hsh, manages to speak volumes
for himself and the picture.
Peter Willes is a fine picture of
hysteria, and Melville Cooper,
Barry Fitzgerald, and Michael
Brooke are standouts in smaller
roles.

Because of her youth, beauty
and charm and her ability to
live" the character she has
been called upon to portray in
her three screen appearances,
Miss Goddard is the favorite of
Washington. And the favored
entry was that submitted by
Grace Kopp, of 1419 Meridian
Pl. N. w., whose logical think
ing in nominating Miss Goddard
for 1889 stardom wins her first
prize of $1,000. Not only are Miss
G o d d a DIS performances in
Modern Times" and Dramatic
School, praiseworthy, but her
chore in THE Young in Heart"
now on the screen of Loew's
Palace Theater is particularly
pleasing to movie fans.
SECOND PRIZE
Second prize of $3.50 goes to
Louis G. Goldburg, of the Army
Medical Library, for his COM
ments in nominating Lana
Turner for stardom. Miss Turner
was last seen in a Hardy family
film and is soon to be seen
either at the Capitol or Palace
in another M-G-M production.
Miss Turner polled large num-
ber of votes in this contest as
did M-G-M's Terry Kilburn, the
youngster for whom bright
things are predicted by many
fans.
Terry's biggest booster, Miss
Virginia Llewelly of Route 2,
Laurel, Nd, wins third prize of
$3.50. Terry, too, will be along
soon on an F Street screen.
Ann Rutherford, John Gar
field, the Lane sisters, are
among other youngsters local
movie fans expect to forge ahead
next year. Also worthy of better
things, in the opinion of contest
ants, is Richard Carlson, whose
next big role comes in THE
Duke of West Point" which
you'll see shortly at the Capitol.

greater furore on Broadway
than any other production,
shows no mercy to her sex.
The writer, however, neither
believes nor maintains that all
women are cats. She AYERS,
and the world and his wife prob
ably will agree with her, that
there is a liberal representa-
ton of felines among the fair
sex, and Miss Boothe is firm in
the opinion that in showing
them up she really accomplished
something worthwhile. Just as
one poison is the antidote for
another, so then are the women
in The Women" a decided So
cial benefaction.
In pointing her moral Miss
Boothe does so in the most ef-
fectiVe manner-Smart dialogue
and clever situations. THE
Women" is a high-power COM
edy. 1t fairly sparkles and it
moves with the speed of a
lightning flash. There is con
stant truth and realism that
cannot be denied, but with the
exception of touch of senti-
ment here and there is the very
best kind of good fun through
which one learns the evils of
too much leisure and the peril
of idle gossip.

UNSUNG HEROES

UNSUNG HEROES
Threading its way surely and
effectively through this patriot
ism and heroism, is another
story, equally as strong, of three
men whose courage is unSung by
the praiSemongers-the COM
pany commanders who receive
orders from headquarters and
must stay helplessly on the
ground while they send their
men to certain death.
Of the three principal players,
who must each go through this
hell of handing out death SEN
tences. it is hard to choose the
one who deserves the major
credit.
Because it is his largest part
to date, and for his amazingly
sure performance Of it, David
Niven has a slight edge over
Flynn and Rathbone.
Niven is quite the trouper,
playing the range from comedy
to tragedy, and playing it flaw
lessly all the way. Basil Rath-

Great Waltz
Returns

While the magic melodies of
the younger Strauss enchant
the ear, Julien Duvivier has sue
ceeded in enchanting the eye in
his first Hollywood assignment,
"The Great Waltz" which
opened yesterday at the Colum-
bia.
A director of originality and
taste, Duvivier has given pace,
persuasion and appeal to this
handsome screen biography Of
the famous waltz king.
Duvivier has provided actually
musical direction, accelerating
and polishing the fictionalized
story of the younger and greater
Johann Strauss, his melodic
climb to fame and fortune, his
marriage, his infatuation for a
beautiful opera singer.
The beauty of the score-m
which are presented such gor-
geous Strauss compositions as
Tales From the Vienna Woods"
The Blue Danube" "One Day
When We Were Young" and at
least a half-dozen others-haS
been deftly blended with the
story.
In the central role of Strauss,
Fernand Gravel gives competent
and colorful account of an in
gratiating talent hitherto rele-
gated to comedy. Luise Rainer,
though overly coy in her lighter
moments, puts genuine pathos
into the later scenes in which,
told of her husbands affairs
with the blonde prima donna,
she fights for his love.
The outstanding feminine per-
formance, however, is Miliza
Korjus's as Carla Donner. In
addition to a stately blonde
beauty, Miss Korjus reveals a
voice of striking brilliance and
power, capable of meeting the
severest demands.
Important supporting roles
are well played by Lionel Atwill,
as Count Hohenfried; Christian
Rub, as the quaint coachman
who drives Strauss and Carla
on their music-making jaunt
through the Vienna woods;
Alma Kruger, as Johann's
mother; and Henry Hull, as
Franz Joseph. T. K.

Shirley Tops
List Again

For the fourth successive year
Shirley Temple has been voted
by the theater-owners in Amer
ica as the number one boX-office
star, according to the results of
a survey conducted by the Mo-
ton Picture Herald. Second
place went to Clark Gable, a po-
sition which the actor has main
tanned for three consecutive
years.
The other eight ranking
money-making stars of the year
are, in the order of votes re-
ceived. Sonia Henie, Mickey
Rooney, Spencer Tracy, Robert
Taylor, Myrna 10y, Jane With
ers, Alice Faye and Tyrone
Power.
Newcomers to the first ten
rating this year are Mickey
Rooney, Spencer Tracy, Alice
Faye ano Tyrone Power. The
rise of Rooney to fourth place is
attributed to the popularity of
the Judge Hardy film series and
in particular to his performance
in the title role in Love Finds
Andy Hardy" According to the
report Miss Faye and Mr.. Power,
neither of whom were men

FAMOUS PUPPETS

CANOOS EOKFEIS
The picture M-G-M's Young
DR.. Kildare" the first of a pro-
posed series of stories on the
young physician, is highly enter
tanning, and the stage show,
boasting the famous Salici Pup
pets among other things, is
worth many times the price of
admission.
Billed as "Europe's most
amazing novelty" the puppet
show is enough to leave YOU
Spellbound. Each figure moves
with incredible grace and real
ism in gorgeous settings and
beautifully coStumed. Not de-
tail is overlooked by the geniuses
who stage the show, down to the
lighting and putting of a ciga-
rette and the artistic lingering
of pianist whose hands move
in perfect SynochroniSm with
the accompanying music.
Senior Don Zelaya, plump
artist from Nicaragua, whose
father was once president of
that country, comes onto the
stage to play List, and proves
himself not only a master of the
piano but highly entertaining
humoriSt who pokes real fun at

his grand piano and plays "The

and then concludes with Victor

The Chester Hale Capitol
Comets Twenty Four" need not
be described with such a long

they dance in perfect rhythm
and add much to a show which
had a great deal with which to
start out. Woolford's Weenies
comprise a dachshund show of
great skill, Barte and Tail dance
and Phil Lampkin gives a superb
overture. All Of which combines
to make the show what we said
in the beginning-very good.
The picture stars that mimi
table Lionel Barrymore in the
role of a crochety doctor who
