BOX-OFFICE STARS

AS determined by the votes of 1928
operators of circuit and independent
theaters, in the annual poll conducted by
the Motion Picture Herald, young Mickey
Rooney was the best box-office attraction
of 1889, having jumped to the top from
the fourth place which he held the pre-
vious year.
Shirley Temple, who stood first for
four consecutive years, dropped to fifth
place; while Clark Gables slipped from
second to fourth, and Sonia Henie fell
from third to tenth. Winners of the first ten
places in 1889, in the order named were:
Mickey Rooney, Tyrone Power,
Spencer Tracy, Clark Gable, Shirley Tenn
pie, Bette Davis, Alice Faye, Enrol Flynn,
James Cagney, and Sonia Henie.
Three of these, Miss Davis, Flynn and
Cagney, were newcomers to the leading
ten, while Jane Withers, Robert Taylor
and Myrna 10y, who were in the highest
group in $685. dropped to lower places in
the list of stars.
There was a separate poll taken for
stars of Western pictures of 1889, in which
the singing cowboy Gene Autry led all the
rest for the third year in succession.
In casting their votes the theater
operators were governed solely by the
popularity of the stars as reflected in paid
admissions, which may or may not be an
accurate test of artistic merit.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
THAT CERTAINLY
Free Saturday Rides OKed

CBy Associated Press)

CHARLESTON, Miss, Jan. S.
Citizens hereabouts now have Of
fetal court consent to make their
customary trips into town Sat-
urday to chew tobacco and talk
politics, and they can go in school
buses, too.
A bus line recently went into
court asking that folks who own
school buses be prevented from
giving their neighbors free rides
bcak and forth to town. 1T hurts
business, the operator COM
planned.
But Chancellor R. E. Jackson
answered:
From time immemorial citi-
zenS have gone to town on Sat-
urday. Once they went by buggy.
Now by gravel roads and legisla-
ton it is hazardous to be on the
highway in buggy or wagon. This
court believes it is the right of
the American people to go to
town on Saturday and chew to-
bacco and talk politics.
This court believes, too, those
folks have a right to catch ride
with his neighbor who owns a
school bus. This court has had
that experience and will be the
last to take away this God-given
right of the people.

RADIO AND SPIES IN WAR

Here are two items that lead to the
conclusion that the present war in Europe
has its novelties:
From Germany come reports of in
dividuals sent to prison for listening to
foreign radio broadcasts.
From Paris comes the news that a
number of Nazi spies, who dropped by
parachutes from German planes in the
early part of the war, have been executed.
Peasants have been asked to aid in cap
turing any spies who may land behind the
lines by using parachutes.

WHERE PUBLICITY FUNDS BELONG
Among the findings of the state audi

Among the findings of the state audi
tor in an audit of the books of Monroe
county was one condemning the indis-
criminate use of the county's advertising
funds for other purposes.
The state auditor rightfully takes the
position that an advertising fund should
only be drawn upon for advertising pur-
poses. Printing of booklets advertising
Key West and Monroe County, payment
for advertisements appearing in news
papers and other publications and direct
newspaper publicity are items which come
under the head Of advertising in the state
auditors Interpretation.
Unfortunately the commissioners of
Monroe County for the last three years.
the period covered by the state audit have
been under pressure to appropriate money
from the advertising fund for other than
advertising matter. Funds have been
taken from the advertising fund for the
Overseas Highway opening celebration,
for the white way lighting system and
other projects. These were all worthy
causes. The county commission should
contribute to them, so long as funds are
available in fund set up for that purpose.
The criticism of the state auditor is not di-
rected at the recipients of the appropria-
lions, but at any action of the commission
diverting advertising funds from advertis-
ing purposes.
Fer several years The Citizen has been
advocating the creation of an advertising
and publicity board to advise the county
commission and other city and county Of
ficials on advertising and publicity mat
ters. The members of the county commits
sion cannot be expected to know what is
good and what is not good advertising and
publicity. They should be guided by a
board of newspaper and publicity men be-
up for advertising and publicity purposes.
To avoid further criticism on this
score, the county commission would be
serving itself and the taxpayers by setting
up such a board. There are enough ex-
perienced new5papermen and men expert
enced in publicity in Key West to form
such a group. They can be trusted to see
that the city and county are advertising
properly, economically and effectively.
The hit or miss methods of the past must
be abandoned. Key West and Monroe
county have grown up to the point where
they require the careful guidance Of men
of experience in the publicity field in ex-
penditures of the taxpayers money for
advertising
