REESE THEATRE NOTES

When in a recent picture Shirley
Temple found cure for the recess
ion, that fiction was no less strange
than truth. For the number one
screen star is, in her own way, an
economic panacea for many thous-
ands of people all over the world.
On the basis of the fact that Shir-
ley weighs ,seventy-five p ounds
has been estimated that she is worth
many, many times her weight in
gold, at the current treasury quota
tion, to the industry of which she is
a part.
The most popular star is the
focus of business activities that give
employment to workers in almost
every country of the world. Besides
those who work at 2OthCentury Fox,
there are thousands more working
in the Shirley Temple doll and toy
factories.
Shirley Temple plays in her latest
picture "Susannah of the Mounties"
at the Reese Theatre. Mon. &Tues.

then believed available.
In addition to the economies eff
fected in the budget and appropria-
ton bills and in furtherance of the
fiscal plan which balanced the bud
get, the 1899 Legislature did not fail
to make provisions for the future
fiscal control. A bill was passed to
place all moneys in one general fund
in 1910 and thereafter. A bill estab-
lished a permanent budget commits
sion charged with assuring budget
ary control and generally supervis-
ing the business methods of all
agencies expending State funds.
Your committee feels that the Re-
publican Party as represented in the
1889 Legislature has fulfilled its OBJ
legations and has rendered services
of genuine value to you as one of the
supporters of the party.
BY reason of the publicity given
to a number of political matters in
the Legislature the substantial and
work of that body has
passed virtually unnoticed. Despite
the charge of politics" the Legis-
lature has attended to the business
end of the public's interest by en-
acting cOmmendable legislation
which preserves Delaware's reputa-
ton for financial stability. for low
and decreasing taxes, and for eco
government.
1t has guaranteed, within reason
able limitations. the continuance of
these same policies in the future.
Respectfully yours,
