I T IS a toss up whether Made
leine Carroll or Loretta
Young will be the most-exquis-
itely dressed screen star this
winter. Miss Carroll writes
from Paris that she is having
the time of her life selecting
costumes for “The River Is
Blue” which she will start mak
ing for Walter Wanger when
she returns to Hollywood.
Loretta Young was in New York
recently buying fur coats, hats,
and dresses by the
Score, just as if she
hadn’t had any new
clothes in ages.
Hollywood designers
have just about run
out of ideas for Lo
retta for in her last
four pictures she
has had altogether
some 80 changes of
costume, and each
one was supposed to
be a knockout. The
more extreme and
bizarre clothes are,
the better she likes
keeps designers working overtime.

Carroll
them—so she
Yon will be hearing a lot from
now on about Ilona Massey, who
makes h^r American screen debut
in M-G-M’s “Rosalie.” Officials of
the company are so delighted with
her perfermvsce in a minor role
that they are going to give her the
title role in '‘Pompadour,” one of
the most alluring beauties in history
or drama.
There is one popular radio player
who will have to mend her ways if
she ever goes into motion pictures—
and most of them do sooner or later.
Alice Frost of the “Big Sister” cast
comes out of rehearsals with her
forehead all smudged. She holds a
pencil in her hand, and in a mo
ment of dramatic tension invariably
draws the point across her forehead.
The jinx that has dogged the foot
steps of all Hollywood players who
appeared on the Broadway stage
this season has at last been knocked
out. Frances Farmer broke the
spell. She opened recently in “Gold
en Boy,” a play about a prize fight
er, and the critics went into rhapso
dies over her deft playing of ro
mantic scenes.
Radio performers develop some of
the strangest hobbies, but for the
present Tony Wons, the C. B. S.
philosopher, is leading them all. He
makes violins. He makes violins
with the utmost care out of any old
thing he finds lying around the
home. Inspired, possibly by Bob
Burns and his far famed bazooka, he
has made one out of a piece of tin
stovepipe and the tone to his sur
prise is excellent.
The battle of the two great glam
orous stars of the screen, Garbo and
Deitrich, turns out to be no battle
at all when you see their new pic
tures, “Conquest” and “Angel.”
Garbo is so far in the lead that
there is just no competition at all.
“Conquest” is a lavishly-produced,
histor ically-faithful romance of the
time of Napoleon, and Garbo as the
lovely Countess Walewska has nev
er been more appealing. “Angel,”
on the other hand, is just an incon
sequential modern triangle story in
which the camera lingers on Miss
Deitrich to the exclusion of any ac
tion.
Because of her good work in the
new Fred Astaire picture, “Damsel
in Distress,” Joan Fontaine is go
ing to get a strange reward. She is
going to be starred in “Curtain
Call,” which Katherine Hepburn
turned down. Don’t think she minds
taking this hand-me-down, though.
It is a grand story.

Edgar Bergen and Charlie Mc
Carthy will be in the cast of a new
comedy that will
feature Irene Dunne
and as a result she
is the envy of all
Hollywood as well
as the public at
large. Her outstand
ing success as a
comedienne in “The
Awful Truth” influ
enced Universal to
postpone their biog
raphy of Madame
Curie and instead of
that story to cast
her in a comedy. Thus she f as estab
lished herself as a double threat
actress, at home in heavy drama as
well as light farce.

Mark Anniversary of Nazi “Beer Putsch”
Flanked by pillars of the Nazi party, Realmleader Adolf Hitler is pictured as he took part in the annual
eelebration at Munich, Germany, that marks the anniversary of the famous “beer cellar putsch” in 1923 that
was the beginning of Hitler’s rise to power.
TELLS ABOUT RELIEF
Harry L. Hopkins, WPA adminis
trator, as he addressed the recent
mayors, conference at Boston, Mass.
His subject was “The National Pro
gram.” Mayors from leading cities
throughout the United States were
in attendance. Their verdict was
that the relief burden in big cities
would be increased rather than low
ered this winter.

mural conte'st.
Here’s Safe Way to Jaywalk
Jaywalkers on the public square in Cleveland were politely reminded
by police that using a red flag placed there for their convenience “might”
help them in darting across the streets when the traffic lights were
against them. It was all part of a traffic safety campaign to reduce the
number of motor fatalities that have been mounting rapidly.

are made of metal and instead of
improving the chicken’s eyesight,
they provide a blind spot, which pre

Lesson for December 5
CHRISTIAN REST
LESSON TEXT—Matthew 11:28-30;
brews 4:1-11.
GOLDEN TEXT—Come unto me, all ye
that labor and are heavy laden, and I
will give you rest.—Matthew 11:28.
PRIMARY TOPIC—When We Are Tired.
JUNIOR TOPIC—God's Great Invitation.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—
How Christ Gives Us Rest.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—
Christian Rest.
“Time, like an ever-rolling
stream, bears all its sons away,” so
sang Isaac Watts in 1719. One won
ders what he might say today! The
mad rush of modern life—its relent
less drawing of us all into its terrific
tempo—leaves us distraught, nerv
ous, overanxious. Nervous disor
ders are on a rapid increase, even
among children. The condition pre
vails in the country as well as in the
city, although it is aggravated in
metropolitan centers.
Let us lay down the burdens of
the universe for a bit and counsel
quietly about that almost forgotten
Christian virtue, rest. Nowhere can
the troubled spirit find calm of soul
as surely and as quickly as in God’s
Word—and in the One revealed
there, for true rest is
I. Found in Christ (Matt. 1 !-
30).
Rest for our souls is found not ir>
the cessation of activity, but rather
in joining with Christ as our yoke
fellow and in going on with him in
meekness and lowliness of heart.
Most of life’s restlessness is the re
sult of pride, of driving ambition to
be somebody or to attain something.
True humility removes all such dis
turbing factors.
But we do have a yoke and a bur
den to bear. Yes, it is true that not
all is easy in the Christian life. But
as someone has suggested, the bur
dens are like the burden of feathers
on a bird. They may seem to be too
heavy for his little body, but 'as a
matter of fact they are the thing he
flies with! Such are the "burdens”
of Christ.
II. Received by Faith (rieb. 4:3).
Those who believe enter into rest.
Faith in God through Jesus Christ
brings a man into an abiding place
that the storms of life may be*at
upon but can never move. Fair
weather followers of Jesus who fall
into a frenzy of fear and worry
when sorrow or loss comes upon
them need to learn to walk by faith.
“Be not dismayed whate’er betide,
God will take care of you,” is more
than the pious expression of a hymn
writer, it is a statement of fact.
III. Rejected by Unbelief (Heb.
4:1, 6-11).
“The worst thing in the world” is
unbelief — because it effectually
closes the door to God’s blessing.
Jesus could not do “many mighty
works” in his home town of Nazareth
“because of their unbelief” (Matt,
j 13:58). Unbelief will keep us from
the rest that God has prepared for
his people, for it not only hinders
men from coming to the Saviour,
but keeps them from resting in him
after they are saved.
IV. Necessary to Useful Living
(v. 11).
Only when the follower of Christ
appropriates that rest of soul which
results from turning from his cwm
efforts and trusting himself fully to
Christ will there be that absolute
surrender of every detail and prob
lem of life to him which will bring
out in daily living the glorious beau
ty and power of a life at rest with
God. .
A poem by Fay Inchfawn which
has blessed the writer’s soul is here
passed on, with the prayer that it
may help you who read these notes:
"Well. I am done. My nerve* were on the
rack.
I've laid them down today;
It was the last straw broke the camel’3
back.
I’ve laid that down today.
No, I'll not fume, nor fuss, nor fight:
I'll walk by faith a bit and not by sight,
I think the universe will work all right,
I’ve laid it down today.
"So, here and now, the overweight, the
worry.
I’ll lay it down today:
The all-too-anxlous heart; the tearing hurry;
I'll lay these down today.
O eager hands. O feet so prone to run,
I think that He who made the stars and sun
Can mind the things you've had to leave
undone.
Do lay them down today."
How true it is that we are prone
to bear all the burdens of the uni
verse when God’s Word has told us
to cast all our care upon Him, for
He careth for us (I Pet. 5:7). It
is a powerful testimony for Christ
when distraught and worry-ridden
non-Christians see God’s children
walking steady and true in the midst
of disappointments, trials, and sor
rows. And the opposite is aflso true,
that failure to trust God is a prac
tical denial of our professed faith.
In Step With Santa Claus
I/’EEPING up with the Joneses
is easy—it’s keeping up v/ith
Santa Claus that has Sew-Your-
Own in stitches currently. We got
a peek at his wares, though, and
frankly we copied some of his art
istry. (You can see for yourself
there’s a “Christmasy look” about
today’s trio of fashions.) And hap
pily you can do more than look
and wish—you can make them re
alities the easy way: just sew,
sew, Sew-Your-Own!
Cute and Cozy.
Look your prettiest in leisure or

nine house jacket (young sister to
the house coat) above, left. Santa
! Claus has ordered thousands of
i these for feminine friends in his
good graces and you know S. C.
usually shows impeccable taste in
gifts. In handsome silk crepe or
very lightweight corduroy it is as
cosy as a love seat before an
open fire. Make it either in the
short length (see inset) or regular
dress length.
Feminine Flattery.
Polish yourself off in a bril
liantly styled new frock for the
holidays just ahead. Sew-Your-
Own’s newest success (above cen
ter) will be your success once you
wear it in the public eye. It is
most gifted in its distinctive de
sign, below-waist slimness, and
all-of-a-piece simplicity. Make
your version the very essence of
chic in sheer wool or satin, in
your most flattering color.

The Musk Ox
Able to exist farther north than
any other hoofed mammal, the
musk ox is really a goat which
tried to become an ox, but stopped
halfway between, and is therefore
neither. It is found only in the
barren lands of northern Canada
and Greenland.
The rigorous climate of the Arc
tic does not bother the musk ox
because it has two coats of hair.
One is long, thick and brown. The
other is a thick, soft under-fur,
which is shed in summer. If it
were not shed, the musk ox might
almost smother to death.
peplum style. And here’s a prac
tical idea: you have a choice in
sleeve lengths. For variety’s sake,
why not make the long sleeved
model in silk crepe for dress; the
short sleeved one in jersey for
sports and all occasion wear?
