BELIFVES STAR
OF BETHLEHEM
DONATI'S COMET
Seattle. Dec. 21. UP) William O.
Hale, president of the Seattle as
tronomical society, told Interview
ers today he believes the Star of
Bethlehem was Donatl's comet
blazing over the skies of Palestine.
Hale, addressing the St. Clement's
Episcopal church parishioners last
night, said astronomers do not be
lieve the star which led the magi
4u the manger was mythical but
that they have rationalized it with
modern theories and have suggested
that when the three wise men cried
"where is. he that Is born king of
the Jews? For we have seen His
star in the east," they saw:
A comet, a collision of stars, a
new star (a Nova) or the conjunc
tion of several planetst
Hale leans toward the comet the
ory, and said when Donatl's comet
raced past the earth in 1868, as
tronomers calculated it would be
another 1,800 years before it reap
peared. Counting backward 1,800
, years, and allowing for errors in
time calculations, the changes In
calendars and the diverse theories
of what year Christ was born, Hale
said Donati's comet would have p
peared about the time of the nativ
ity. Some astronomers, however, have
suggested astrologers were well ac
quainted with the phenomena of
comets and "the three wise men"
would not have mistaken a comet
for a mystic star.
Hale said they have found the
planets Saturn, Jupiter and Mars
dome close together about every
700 years and that they were in
conjunction, creating an unusual
brilliance, in the spring of what
modern calendars term the year .6
B. C.
He said the creation of a Nova,
waxing In brilliance and then dying
out in what is termed "sky lights"
is a known phenomena and that It,
or the collision of heavenly bodies
might have created the mystery
which occurred when "lo, the star
which they saw in the east went
before them till it came and stood
over where the young child was."

Shirley Temple, Most
Popular of Screen Stars,
Begins Her Fourth Year
Hollywood, Calif., Dec. 19. (P) Shirley Temple, the million-dollar
baby they found in a five-cent picture, begins her
fourth year as a contract actress. She is not yet eight years
old. Three years ago, December
19, 1933, she was an unknown lit
tle girl, working on a week-to-week
basis in a series of one-reel baby
pictures. On that day, she came
with some 149 other children most
of whom also had dimples and curls
to try out for a brief song-and-dance
bit in the musical film, "Stand
Up and Cheer." Today, she Is the
No. 1 box office attraction of the
motion picture world.
Her box office stature is twice
that of Oarbo. Executives of 20th
Century-Fox studios estimate that
240,000,000 people a number twice
the size of the population of the
United States have paid to see her
on the screen.
And, they claim, the scope of her
popularity Is still growing. They
cite the lukewarm reception she
used to receive in Paris, and com
pare It to a very recent situation
In the French capital, when her
pictures were playing in five dif
ferent theatres the same day, and
all to capacity audiences.
The superlatives go even further.
American theatre men voted her
the loading box office attraction for
1936, the second consecutive year
she has won that honor. She is the
only player of either sex of any
nation, to get it twice In a row.
In England, she out-ranked even
the reigning native favorite, Oracle
Fields, In the opinion of British
theatre men. She is the only Amer
ican ever to receive this rating.
. Financial statistics relating to her
reach astronomic proportions.
She has made 12 feature pictures.
Studio heads declined to state exact
figures, but estimated each film
cost an average $500,000 cheap as
features go and grossed W.ooo,'
000 each.
Her original contract stipulated
a Sl50-a-week salary. It has been
revised and tilted steeply three

times. Today, usually well-inform
ed sources say she is paid per pic
tureat $75(000 per film.
It is estimated she has earned
met than $1560.000 in studio sal
aries, perhaps a third as much again
from advertising "tieups."
The production program on her
pictures already has been mapped
ahead, with stortes and starting
dates, for the next two years.
She will be eight years old next
April 23.
Bazaar Successful
Mill City The recent bazaar held
by the Ladles' Aid society of the
Presbyterian church was very prof
itable in that over $30 was raised.
Besides the selling of, fancy work
there was also a baked food sale,
a home-made candy sale, and a fish
pond for the children.
