Is the sun dimming on Shirley
Temples bright career? or is it
just behind q temporary cloud
ready to shine forth again with the
release of her current picture, 1.-The
Young People?
For the past IL months Mrs. Tenn
pie, Shirley's creator-in every sense
of the word-has expressed herself
dissatisfied with the pictures as
signed her daughter. The keynote
Of her annoyance has been, Shirley
is too old for the pictures she is given
to do" Shirley will be IL, years old
on April %. Early this year Shir-
ley lost her position as head Of the
box office parade. She had been
top for a record four years. And
dropped to nth place.
have Just come back from visit
ing Shirley and her mother on "The
Young People" set. Shirley looked
very pretty and cute in man-tai-
lored, full evening suit, white tie,
tails, top hat, gloves and cane. If
she knew that this year is very i'm
portant for her continued screen
life she did not show it. But her
mother did-with q new attitude OF
anxiety and a sort Of passive, but
not patient resistance. Il can't say
much now" she told me. I'm Just
waiting for Shirley's contract here
to be over" Shirley has another
year to 60 before the expiration Of
the seven-year contract she was
awarded after her first six months
ut the studio. {.
Things WIN BE Different.
"Wil Shirley free-lance them" I
asked her.
ITS hard to say now," she replies.
1T depends, Of course. on what hap
pens In this coming year. But one
thing is certain, whatever neW con-
tract she signs Will stipulate that
she makes only one picture q year.
BY the terms Of her present con-
tract with Twentieth Century-Fox,
Shirley appears in three or four
pictures year. I also gather that
any future contract will have q
clause permitting Mrs. Temple to ct
in on choice Of material. Il have

The favorite foreign outlet Of all

been up and down since the wars

Summing up its world market Sit

badly OF today as its hysterical
screams of last August prophesied.
That predicted 40 per cent war loss

most of the ruthless pay roll and

weeks can now be charged on to

Dutch Gen. Henri G.. Winkelman
issued a proclamation ordering ces-
sation of fighting on the main de-
fensive fronts in Holland.
The proclamation called for Dutch
troops defending Rotterdam and
Utrecht to cease resistance to pre-
vent destruction of the cities and
needless loss of life.
The order to the troops in those
two sectors and an official an
nouncement that the blackout OF
the nation would be discontinued
appeared to leave no doubt that
resistance was ceasing, although
Winkelman said that the fight
would go on against the Germans
in iceland.
iceland is a peninsula and in
cludes small islands off the coast
Just north of the Belgian port OF
Antwerp, and it was indicated that
the Dutch would continue to at
tempt to defend that sector to aid
the Allied defense of the vital port
of Antwerp.
Thus, after five days of whirl-
wind fighting, the German conquest
of Holland was all but completed
the royal family had fled to Eng
land, the city of Rotterdam was
heavily damaged and many build
ings were in flames. the Germans
were smashing through the flooded
defense zones of south central Hol-
land and driving wedge between
Amsterdam and the Allied forces
in Belgium.
Meanwhile a battle that may be
the greatest in modern times de-
veloped between Europe's mechan-
lied armies = tanks, artillery and
airplanes-along the World war bat
