EDITOR AROUSES RICHDERCS IRE Recovery Leader Scores Publisher for Baring Letter. By Unit> and Press WASHINGTON, Dec. 24 —Donald R. Richberg, Recovery Co-Ordinator, today attacked as “without necessity and without propriety” publication of a letter in which he warned publishers against possibly libelous matter in Gen. Hugh S. Johnson's forthcoming autobiography. Mr. Richberg said the letter, sent to the publisher of a national weekly, was “private correspondence’’ and that its publication was entirely unauthorized. “I have no intention.” Mr. Richberg said, “of adding further to the publicity concerning Gen. Johnson's forthcoming book. I wrote the letter as a matter of precaution after hearing reports of some matter which I understood was to be included.” Mr. Richberg in a letter to George Horace Lorimer, editor of the Saturday Evening Post, warned that “full legal responsibility” would have to be assumed for any derogatory remarks by the fiery former NRA chief. He sent a copy of his letter to the publisher who will issue the autobiography in book form. Mr. Richberg, whose break with Gen. Johnson marked the general’s closing days in the Administration, advised Mr. Lorimer that he had heard from several sources that Gen. Johnson had included “certain definitely described attacks upon me which, if made, would be untrue, maliciously libelous and designed wholly for the purpose of doing me harm/’ Two Sailors on Furlough Two Indianapolis men are home on furlough for the Christmas holidays from the United States Navy.

The Theatrical World Shirley Temple at Her Best in ‘Bright Eyes’ BY WALTER D. HICKMAN

nnHIS time I am doing something different, a review of a picture on the very eve of Christmas. Just because it is the afternoon or the night before Christmas, this Shirley Temple movie. “Bright Eyes,” has every reason to stand on its own feet. This is the first picture that has star service of this little girl. Watch the way she works with

James Dunn in the airplane when her mother has been killed by a careless driver. That song has no meaning until Shirley gets to work on it. It is the only song she sings, but how she sings it. Shirley is learning a new form of acting melodrama

—

° £ tt h 6 m ° VleS /. Shirley Temple Up to this time she has been a child. Now she is an actress. At times, she is afraid of routine. That is the director's fault. When she is with Damn, this child has the love of an adult woman of the stage as she approaches her emotional scenes. The theme of this story is according to formula. Shirley is the sweet, natural and lovable child of a mother who is a servant in a rich home. The very rich people have a “brat” for a daughter who is never spanked. She doesn’t get that deserved “spank” until the last five seconds of this movie. Watch the Christmas scenes and the wav Shirley gets the idea that her mother has gone way up into the clouds to Heaven with her Daddy, who was an aviator. This is conclusive proof of the fact that Dunn is more than a movie ham. He has had a dangerous sentimental past, but this time Dunn knows what it’s all about. Here is a preview of a Christmas Day opening that has the right to be considered the most effective theater in the life of Shirley Temnle up to this time. “Bright Eyes” opens tomorrow, Christmas Day, at the Apollo. STATE RECORD LOOMS FOR AUTO TAG.SALES Finney Makes Prediction on Basis of Early Distribution. Distribution of 1935 autemobPe license plates in Indiana will reach a record total, Frank Finney, commissioner of the State Auto License Department, estimated today. Definite figures have not been compiled on new license sales, but reports from bureaus in all sections of the state point to a record in all types of licenses, Mr. Finney said. Two factors are accountable ?>sr the early purchases. First, he said, improved business conditions have enabled auto owners to release the license fees without making it a hardship. The other fact, he said, was the establishment of an absolute deadline of Dec. 31 as the final date automobiles can be operated with old plates. Ex-3layor Dead at Crawfordsville By United Press CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., Dec. 24.—Dumont Kennedy, 73, former mayor of Crawfordsville and authority on the life of Abraham Lincoln, died at his home here last night.

Comedians Are Present JACK PEPPER and his gang of funsters is the high point in the Lyric stage offering this week. Mr. Pepper has joined together as comical an array of musicians as has been seen in the form of a band. The group goes under the misleading name of “The Society Buds,” and their antics are thoroughly entertaining. Mr. Peppier sings nicely and his girl friend makes a hit in her little girl impersonation. Abbott and Roby have some good comedy in a song and dance act; the Emerald Sisters go through some amusing tumbling stunts; Gifford and Pearl are rather irksome in a duo of knock-a-bout; the Levolo's perform on the tight wire in an act which lacks any punch, and Dorothy Byton lends color to the show with her Jazzmania Revue. The picture on view is “The Secret Bride,” starring Warren William and Barbara Stanwyck. Now at the Lyric. (By J. W. TANARUS.) ana OTHER theaters today offer: “The Mighty Barnum,” at Loew’s Palace; “Bachelor of Arts,” at the Apollo; “Flirtation Walk,” at the Circle; double movie bill at the Ohio, and “One Hour Late” at the Indiana.
