Where the readers tell the world the public's opinion of stars and films. Let's hear from you!
THE SHIRLEY BUDGET PLAN
As long as Shirley Temple is allowed to spend only a quarter of her weekly personal budget of $4.25 for candy, all is serene on the Beckwith waterfront! My daughter thought a quarter a week was "simply terrible" until she heard about Shirley's allowance.
Mrs. F. K. Beckwith,

A DIG AT MR. DISNEY
Who Killed Cock Robin, anyway? In my opinion none other than Walt Disney himself. Puleese, Mr. Disney, leave the ribaldry and sophistication to Mae West and return to the naive fantasy that has made you justly famous.

WHAT! NO MUSTACHE?
First to grow a mustache was Ricardo Cortez. Next came Clark Gable, then Maurice Chevalier — and now our own Jack Oakie. What are we coming to? Ah, there, Baby LeRoy, and how's your mustache coming along?

CRAWFORD CARRIES ON
Joan Crawford is the best sport in the movies. She certainly can take it. I've read slam after slam regarding her facial make-up, but Joan has the courage to take them all without a murmur and keep right on making-up as she pleases.

WANTS 'EM TO GO WILDE
After seeing the teamwork of the manwith-the-cheshire-cat-grin, (Edward Everett Horton), and the .very-much-aliveyoung-man, (Ross Alexander), in "Going Highbrow," I wonder someone does not cast them in something good. Aren't they born for the two leads in "The Importance of Being Earnest"?

Here's Fred Astaire giving another "command" performance. He's at the top of our page by readers' request.
UNANIMOUS!
Up to this writing I've seen "Top Hat" four times. Fred and Ginger make all troubles and cares float away like a bubble. Garbo and Dietrich place the burdens of the world on our shoulders, so for that it'sgood-to-be-alive feeling give me Astaire and Rogers.

TIP (BUT GOOD) FROM CANADA
Our Governor-General elect, John Buchan, is a celebrated novelist. I would very much like to see the greatest of his published works, "Witch Wood," on the screen. The ideal lovers would be Katharine Hepburn and John Beal. Wouldn't everyone like to see a second "Little Minister"?
