ures Growth
And Scorns Wails of Friends
By PAUL HARRISON HOLLYWOOD, April 26.—Almost every day Shirley Temple hogs somebody in the household to measure her against the marks that have been made on the door frame of her bedroom. Miss Temple is impatient to grow up and be an actress.
It doesn’t do a bit of good to asgure Miss Temple that she already is an actress, and that Papa George Temple and Mama Gertrude Temple and Mr. Darryl Zanuck and 100,000,000 movie fans do not want her to hurry about growing up. She is growing, just the same. The last mark they made on the door, after getting her down off her tiptoes, was 50 inches from the floor. That's an even two inches more than a mark made a year and a half ago, and 10 inches more than her height when she made her screen debut in 1933. Her weight on the dates mentioned jumped from 37 to 63 to 732 pounds.
Short for Her Age
Her birthday cake, on April 23, had nine candles. Incidentally, she now has nine baby teeth still to Jose. For her age, the boxoffice queen of the movies might be considerably taller than she is, and she is expected to begin growing a lot faster at any time now. Much as it dreads this emergency, the studio is prepared for it. Already there are portents. In the current “Little Miss Broadway” the ooh-ers and ah-ers will see the Temple curls all over the Temple head for the last time. In the same picture, to show the fans what's happening, two new hairdresses are being introduced. Twentieth Century-Fox is making allowances for Shirley’s growth in its preparation of stories. ‘‘Sunnyside Up,” ready for the camera now, gives her only a little more to do,
allows her to look only a little
older. But “Suzannah of the Mounties,” after that, will represent a more definite age step.
Looking for Fairy Stories
If there are any {fairy stories or fantasies in the movie market within the next year or so, Miss Temple is going to be bidding for them. The greatest disappointment of her brief and eminently griefless career is that she will not be able to play Dorothy in “The Wizard of Oz.” Now and again there was talk of Mr. Zanuck buying the story from Samuel Goldwyn, who had got it from the Baum heirs. But it now has gone to Metro, and the role to Judy Garland.
_ An unfounded report still is bouncing around the country that Shirley soon is to embark on an extensive personal appearance tour. Offers from theaters are pouring in, together with invitations to play a benefit for this or that American Legion Post which is trying to raise money to paint the bandstand in the park.
. Already Ducking Taxes
The cash offers, which all have .been declined, total $374,000 at this © writing. ~ Also. turned down has been a 26-week radio contract at $12,000 a week. _have been many radio offers, but that vas the best. ' If she were to assume any such activities, Shirley would have to pay almost all the proceeds to the Government. She already pays, in Federal and state taxes, about $350,000. This still leaves a tidy sum out of salaries, bonuses and commissions on clothes: and toys— even if Charlie McCarthy dolls did outsell Shirley Temple dolls last Christmas. Shirley now is making something more than $500,000 a year from all sources, but acutally she sees only a very small part of her income.

That part is the few dollars a week her mother gives her as an allowance, which Shirley very carefully apportions to entertainment, sweets and the Sunday School collection box. Nearly all the money is being saved for her. Hollywood hears that Mrs. George Temple now receives $1000 a week from 20thFox for Shirley's care and training. And Mr. Temple himself is prospering in the agency and management business.
Three Pictures a Year
There are three Shirley Temple pictures a year. Each of these involves about one week of preparation—wardrobe and tests—and about five weeks of shooting. Besides Sundays, she has occasional days off, and three hours of each working day are spent in school. Even while not working before the camera, she goes to school daily in her private bungalow on the lot. She is in 5B now, struggling with long division and fractions. She likes big words, particularly a phrase that Jimmy Durante taught her—“immemorial and irrelephant.” Mrs. Temple, telling of Shirley's growth, said her diction, dancing, and singing voice all have improved. “She had by far her most difficult dance routines in ‘Little Miss Broadway.” Everyone notices how much more assurance she has developed in acting. If another player misses his lines and ad libs a little, Shirley doesn’t miss her cue or look surprised. She used to stop when that happened.” Recently, though, she did stop, and right in the middle of a speech. Director Irving Cummings was astonished. He said, “Why, One-Take Temple! What's the matter?”
Miss Temple took something from her mouth and put it into a pocket. “I'm so sorry,” she said, “but I just lost another tooth.”
JORDAN STUDENT TO GIVE RECITAL
A recital in the Odeon tonight by piano students of Jeanette Gardiner will inaugurate a series of 26 performances booked by the Jordan Conservatory of Music between now and June 6. Approximately 250 persons are to be heard in recitals booked for faculty members, seniors, artist students, advanced, intermediate and elementary pupils. A concert by the Conservatory Orchestra, under Ferdinand Schaefer’s direction, also is to be heard on May 23. The school’s commencement exercises will be held June 10.

Young Star Coming With Latest Film
Miss Olympe Bradna Due In Person at Circle; Show at Apollo.
By JAMES THRASHER
Miss Olympe Bradna, who you may remember is this year’s entire graduating class from Paramount’s schoolhouse on the lot, will be in town May 6. So, by coincidence, will her first starring picture, “Stolen Heaven.” Miss Bradna herself probably will appear on the Circle stage. The Apollo, just a good, brisk canter’s distance, will be showing the film, in which she shares honors with Gene Raymond. The French starlet, nearly 18 now, recently: polished off her high school education at the studio school by starring as “The Class of ’38.” Her commencement audience contained about 93 per cent screen stars, which is something that few Ph. Ds can boast.
Born Between Shows
Over to the left of this column you will find Paul Harrison discussing some of the problems of juvenile stardom vs. the inevitable approach of adolescence. So this might be a propitious moment to point out Miss Bradna as proof that the transition can be made. The young lady was born to a French team of equestrian performers, Jean and Joseph, between their matinee and evening shows one Aug, 12. Eighteen months later she was working in the act herself. Success came to the 8-year-old Olympe when she was given a featured dancing spot in “Hit the Deck,” French edition. She next had an 18 months’ engagement with the “Follies Bergere,” and at 14 she smerged as a full-fledged night club star She danced over most of Europe and had a couple of picture parts. Then came a trip to America, and song-and-dance engagements in New York's French Casino. That’s where the Paramount scout found her and signed her to a contract.
Buried in Hollywood
After that it seemed Miss Bradna had become another of Hollywood's forgotten importations. However, in recent weeks the publicity department has gone to work on her. There have been bathing suit pictures, as sure a sign of a movie buildup as violets and baseball are of spring. One yeoman service has been performed in the matter of her name's pronunciation. All studio stories now refer to her as Olympe (OLamp) Bradna. So, when she comes to Indianapolis, there will be no excuse for your mistaking her for Luise (O-Lan) Rainer, the “Good Earth” girl.

OVERCROWDING | ELIMINATED AT RILEY HOSPITAL
Now Able to Take In All Emergencies Without Delay, Martin Reports.
Overcrowding has been eliminated |
at the Riley Hospital for Children and for the first time in its 14-year history, the institution has caught up with its long waiting list in its major services. That was the report of J. B. H. Martin, administrator, at the James Whitcomb Riley Memorial Association’s annual meeting yesterday when all officers were re-elected.
Rechosen were Hugh McK. Landon, president; Val Nolan, vice president; Arthur V. Brown, treasurer, and James W. Carr, secretary.
Directors Re-elected
Three directors whose terms expired also were re-elected: Evans
Woollen, Peter C. Reilly and Arthur.
R. Baxter.
Mr. Martin reported that in the major hospital services, such as general surgery and general medical departments, the hospital is within a month of being able to admit patients on the day their applications are received. : “This means,” he said, “that we are now able to admit, at once, all cases of an emergency nature. We consider this condition a very healthy one and we shall strive to maintain this position.” Mr. Martin reported that operating costs had been reduced in the last year by cutting down the average stay per patient. Total savings for the year amounted to $45,019.92 although the per diem charge to counties was 97 cents higher than in 1936. Every county in the state except Posey was represented during the year, Mr. Martin said. Marion County sent 1189 cases to lead numerically, although its ratio was 4 per cent below that of 1936.
Benefits Under 40 Wills
Mr. Carr disclosed that the Riley Hospital or the Memorial Association now is beneficiary under more than 40 wills under administration in Indiana. He estimated the gross total at $150,000. ‘The meeting was addressed by Dr. W. D. Gatch, Indiana University medical school dean, and Dr. Robert L. Glass, neuro surgeon. Mr. Landon, completing his 17th consecutive term as president, presided. Forty persons attended.

son, Joseph de Maio confessed to-|
day, police said, that he killed Anthony d’Andréea with a hammer, stuffed the body into a barrel and discarded it on a Hoboken lot. The 50-year-old fish peddler admitted the killing, police said, after Joseph, his son, told of assisting in the gruesome business of discarding the body. D’Andrea, 24, was de Maio’s helper. Ten days ago, in Brooklyn, they quarreled and, police said, de Maio struck and killed d’Andrea. The boy said his father forced him to get an empty olive barrel and help stuff the body into it.

The De Luxe Coupe
And Mr. Caughey ought to know—with 132,000 miles of Ford transportation
Ams
“A low months ago, I purchased my third Ford V-8§, a 1938 85-horsepower De Luxe Coupe.
“I’ve just passed my 132,000th mile of transportation in Ford cars in three and one-half years, and I must say they
have been dependable, economical and comfortable miles. And I should know, because 132,000 miles are a lot of miles
in so short a time.
“This 1938 Ford is not only the best looking but by far the most economical car I've owned. By actual test on local driving at approximately 30 miles per hour, I averaged 23 miles to a gallon, and on a trip, at a higher speed, I averaged 18
miles to a gallon of gasoline.” =f / J. H. CauGHEY
