A. B. Nelson Winner of Critic Grand Prize

Gets $25 Check for His Review on ‘Godless Girl/ The grand prize winner in “The Godless Girl,” which was conducted bv The Indianapolis Times in connection with the showing of that picture at the Circle last week was won by A. B. Nelson, 140 S. Capitol avenue. The winner of this review receives a check from The Times for $25, and this closes the “The Godless Girl” movie critic contest. A. B. Nelson’s winning review is as follows: At last a movie has been produced that portrays the mental unrest of religion in the mind of modern vouth. Youth Is the age of radical thinking. In school they are attracted to the radical extremes of a study Science is the playground of youth's mind: the theory is offered and the student must form his own conclusions. Evolution the most pronounced extreme study has caused the wide-spread of atheism In the last few tears. De Mille has dedicated a picture, to show the conseouence of this disbelief, in The Godless Girl. The setting is in a modern institution of learning, where the student body is easily swayed by popular leaders. George Duryea and Lina Basquette play the parts of typical faction leaders: leading their followers in a riot against each other. The result of the riot is the death of one of their beloved schoolmates. Then follows the period of gloom and hardships v hen our leaders are sentenced to the refrrmatory lor the accidental death. Under the strain of solitary eonflnment; youths mind Is given the chance from the whirl of modern life, to deliberß.e 0:1 a very vital subject. Trapped in the fire of the reformatory, the fear ot death is clearly expressed, also the daring instinct of the voung man. Through this turmoil atheism is refected and the “Faith of Our Fathers" accented. Eddie Quillan as the "Joe College" type and Marie Prevost as the frivolous blond furnish the humor bv wisecracks of thpresent dav. To those who have religious doubts: i would recommend that they visit the Circle, and then form their own conclusions. PICK “state delegate Edgar Brown to Attend Postal Supervisors Convention.

Bit Tim ♦ h Biwcinl NEW YORK, April l.—Motoi vehicles, by carrying passengers and freight over short-hauls, are responsible for a yearly loss of $132,000.000 in revenue to the railroads, estimates W. W. Atterbury, presi- ! dent of the Pennsylvania system, 1 writing in the current issue of The Review of Reviews. “This loss of revenue might lead to the conclusion that the motor vehicle has placed the railroads in a very difficult position.” he says, “but the truth is that it brings new traffic to the railroads at the same 1 time. "Motor vihicles rank as the first industry in the United States, and in 1927 the railroads handled 757.388 carload- of automobiles, trucks, and parts. This constituted the third largest railroad shipment of manufactured products. “Th3>great importance of automotive freight to the railroads is further emphasized by the fact tha : 3.277,388 car loads definitely traceable to the manufacture and use of motor cars were moved by the railroads in the same year.” Township Trustee killed B v 7 ime* Sjr eiul SHELBYVILLE, Ind„ April I.
