night stands. Pershing, a young lieutenant at Silver City. N. M-. asked Bacon if his company would play the army post on credit, explaining they would send him some money when pay day came around. Bacon agreed, putting on two plays instead of one. Months later, in San Bernardino, the company was in dire straits. There wasn’t even enough money to buy food. Just as they were resigned to a dreary Christmas, an army messenger arrived bringing a tidy sum in gold. Pershing had remembered his promise. Gertrude Niesen wrote the song. “Romance in the Dark" and sold it to Paramount for use as the title of Gladys Swarthout's last picture. Now Gertrude is bound for England on a personal appearance tour. And every time she wants to sing "Romance in the Dark”, her own composition, she nas to ask the permission of Paramount.

TITLE HOLDER LAW ATTACKED Appeal From “Gadget” Law Filed Before State Supreme Court Indlapupolls, Mar 25.--flj.R) The automobile windshield title holder luw vloh«es the constitution because it was made by the auto license commissioner who is an executive and not a legislative officer, attorneys for Charles II Kryder of South Bend, stated in an appeal before the Indiana supreme court. Kryder was fined $25 for failure i to display the certificate holder on his windshield and is making an appeal to the state supreme court. Brief filed by Kryder's attorneys I set out several reasons why they i consider the "gadget” law uncoilI stltutlonal. They alleged that the act, adopted by 1937, gives legislallve ; power to the commissioner of the l automobile license division. As ‘the commissioner Is an executive officer, the, law violates the constitutional provision separating the , legislative, judicial and executive ‘ branches of government, they said. The commissioner has no authority Io prescribe the type of container to be used —a legislative function, the attorneys claimed. The act, they asserted, was not in proper constitutional form be- ' cause the title did not cover all the subject matter. They also ■ claimed that use of the gadget on I the windshield tends to promote crime. T. Ernest Maholm, Indianapolis attorney, also is attacking the law's constitutionality and seeking an injunction against its enforcement.
