THE SUN, NEWBERRY, S. CL FRIDAY. DECEMBER 10, 1937 ★★★**★***★★******★★ ★ ★ ★ STAR DUST ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ * jMovie ★ ★★★By VIRGINIA ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ VALE★★★ Radi 10 D eanna durbin wm do e play on Broadway early in the spring if all the experts concerned with her upbringing agree that it won’t be too much of a strain on her. Any decision affecting her --wel fare has to be pondered over b> her mother, her manager, her vocal teacher, and the physician at Univer sal studios and they are all a little re luctant about adding any further public appearances to her already very public life. Until recently, Deanna could go light-heartedly about her work at motion- picture and radio studios, but lately such crowds have followed her wherever she went that . it is a source of worry to everyone around her. Deanna Durbin Scenes and Persons in the Current News 1—Nathan Straus, administrator of the United States housing authority, shown conferring with Mayor Fio- rello LaGuardia about plans to spur home building. 2—Mahatma Gandhi, sixty-eight-year-old Indian nationalist leader, is greeted by followers as he arrives in Calcutta. 3—Capt. George Eyston of London shown after he set a new world’s speed record of 331.42 miles per hour in an automobile on the Bonneville Salt Flats near Salt Lake City, Utah. All the tumult and hysterical shouting over Fred Allen’s return to his radio program does not mean that Walter O’Keefe is being neglect ed or forgotten. O’Keefe so en deared himself to radio listeners while he was substituting for Fred Alien that he could have walked right into another big program, but he demanded a vacation first. —+— When a young newcomer to the screen steals most of the glory away from two enormously-popular stars, you can expect to see her in bigger and better parts right away. So, when you see Loretta Young and Tyrone Power in “Second Honey moon,” be all ready to clap hands for Marjorie Weaver who is the out standing hit of this gay and giddy comedy. When the picture was pre viewed, Marjorie was all set to go back home to Louisville, Kentucky, to make personal appearances with the picture, but so great was the audience response to her perform ance, the trip was called off. —*— Warner Brothers’ directors have decided that they just cannot stand the strain of wondering whether their handsome heroes will be able to come to work on Monday morn ing, so they' have sent out some pretty stringent orders about whal is not to be done over week-ends, or any other time. Fernand Grave* has had to give up steeplechase rid ing. George Brent and Errol Flynn cannot pilot their planes. Out of the hundreds of young ac tresses who daily apply for worh at New York radio producers’ of fices, the majority specialize in one type of characterization only. Ir trying to explain how slim theii chance is of getting anywhere, manj radio producers point to Helen Claire of the cast of “Aunt Jenny’s Real Life Stories,” on CBS. A typ ical week’s work for Miss Claire called for her to play the Serpent in “Methuselah,” the character of Adelina Patti at the ages of sixteen and forty-one, a hillbilly girl, and Alice in “Alice in Wonderland.” Russel Gleason thought the Twen tieth Century-Fox studio was kid ding him when they told him he had been cast in “Love on a Budget.” He had just announced his engagement and was taking a keen interest in all bankroll-stretching theories. But very seriously, he had been cast for a role in this latest of the Jones family series. By far the gayest and most de lightful of the new pictures is “It’s Love I’m After,” featuring Leslie Howard, Bette Da vis, and Olivia de Haviland. It does not sound new, be cause it is that old, old story of the matinee idol, the spitfire leading wom an who is in love with him, and the moonstruck young woman who blindly adores him. What is new is the refreshing, witty treat ment the story has been given. Nev er before have the three featured players been so deft. Leslie Howard ODDS AND ENDS—Gertrude Berg teas fairly mowed under with flowen recent ly when the rounded out eight years as author, producer and star of “The Gold bergs." Players love to work with her, she is so patient, so helpful, so like the compassionate Molly she plays . . . Dolores Costello makes her comeback to the screen in “Girls on Probation” and according to fellow workers it is a bril liant comeback . . . James Stewart gets the grand role opposite Joan Crawford in “Shopworn Angel." Gary Cooper played it in the version made years ago . . . George Raft is determined to be a direc tor some day, so he has agreed to work as an apprentice in various technical de partments of the studio in order to learn the business thoroughly. He can only do it when he is not acting, of course, so he is asking Paramount to give him nice, long vacations between pictures . . . John Barrymore is going to make another Bull dog Drummond picture. C Western Newspaper Union.

LUNDQUIST, Dean of the Woody Bible Institute otf Chicago. © Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for December 12 * — CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP LESSON TEXT—I John 1:1-7; Revelation 21:1-7. GOLDEN TEXT—Our fellowship Is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.-- I John 1:3. PRIMARY TOPIC—The Heavenly Hoir« JUNIOR TOPIC—God's Great Family. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Comradeship with Christ. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— Dally Fellowship,with Christ and Christiana. Fellowship—the word is rich in meaning, even as it concerns the ordinary relationships of life. It speaks of the association of man with man in a common enterprise, a sharing of problems and of vic tories—a partnership. Such rela tionships are very real and helpful. They lead to friendships which bind the hearts of men together in noble purpose and in tender consideration. It is, however, a long step for ward when we add the prefix “Chris tian” to “fellowship!” For by so do ing we not only bring men into the most glorious partnership with each other but we do two other very im portant things: (1) we limit those eligible to tHis fellowship to those who are followers of the Lord Jesus Christ; and (2) we broaden the fel lowship beyond the association of men with each other, and bring them into the circle with Christ. What a high and noble fellowship! Do you belong? Christ says, *T am the door: by me if any man enter in he shall be saved” (John 10:9). Our Scripture selections for today are from two bpoks of the Bible. Both speak of an eternal Christian fellowship but the first stresses its present expression in a life of holi ness and the other its future of blessed communion. I. Christian Fellowship—Now (I John 1:1-7). The First Epistle of John presents fellowship with God as depending on three things “which form in their combination a very beautiful picture of truth . . . God is light (1:5), hence fellowship with God depends on our walking in the light. God is righteous (2:29), hence fellowship with God depends on our doing righteousness. God is love (4:7, 8), hence fellowship with God depends on our possessing and manifesting 'fintrnnumt Make This Attractive Ottoman. /"^ET a wooden box from the gru- cer. It should be about as long as the width of the chair with which the ottoman is to be used. The depth of the sides should be four inches as shown here at A. The legs should be made of two by two’s. Fasten in place with long screws through the corners of the box as shown here at B. About half a bat of cotton will be needed. Put five or six layers of the cotton on the top, cutting the first layer about four inches smaller all around than the top of the box. Place it in the center. Cut the next layer a little bigger and the others still bigger until the last one is the same size as the top. Now, cut a layer of cotton to go over the top and down over the ends as at C and another to go over the top and down the sides as at D. Cut a piece of heavy muslin to fasten tightly over the cotton. Cut the corners of the muslin as at E. Sew with heavy thread as at F and then tack as at G. Every Homemaker should have a copy of Mrs. Spears’ new book, SEWING.

A Little Learning Is a Wonderful Thing Many stories, some true, some —well, not quite so true, are told about the remarks of schoolboys. A well • known headmaster vouches for the accuracy of this one. A certain twelve-year-cld was about to be caned for some trivial offense. The headmaster asked him how he preferred to receive his punishment. “Well, sir,” said the boy quick ly, “if you please, I’d like it like the Greek style of penmanship.” “What on earth do you mean?” asked the master. “Please, sir, the upstrokes heavy and the downstrokes light.” COLD CATCHERS SHOULD KNOW T his specialized med tion - Vicks Va-i is expressly designed for nose and upper throat, where most colds begin—and grow. Used in time—at the first sneeze or sniffle or irritation In the nose—it helps to pre vent many colds, or to throw off head colds in their early stages. Even when your head is all clogged up from a cold, Va-tro-nol brings comforting rdief—lets you breathe again 1 Vicks Va-tro-nol Keep it Hsmty... Use it Early love” (James M. Gray). Etrery clause and phrase of the passage before us is so full of spiritual truth that it should have our full time but we must limit our selves to pointing out one outstand ing fact; namely, that Christian fel lowship is made possible because we have a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. He it is who reveals the Father—the One in whom there is “no darkness at all” (v. 5). If we follow him we must “walk in the light as he is in the light” (v. 7). This allows for no dark comers, no crookedness in word or act. no back biting nor evilspeaking. Let us open the hidden recesses of the heart to the light of God and put every evil thing under the “blood of Jesus Christ which cleanseth us from all sin” (v. 7). II. Christian Fellowship—for Eter nity (Rev. 21:1-7). Our present communion with God and with one another is most pre cious—but how often it is marred by sin and disturbed by the wicked ness that surrounds us in the world. We look forward to that day when we who are the followers of Christ shall be delivered not only from the penalty and the power of sin, but also from its very presence. There will be “a new heaven and a new earth” from which every evil thing has been taken away, in which all has been renewed in righteousness. Then will come the glorious consummation of all things when God shall come to “dwell with them and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them and be their God” (v. 3). That communion shall never be disturbed by the falling of any tear. There will be no mourning, no crying, no pain (v. 4). Little won der that these words have been the comfort of God’s people in their darkest hours. They are not the futile words of human solace. They come from the eternal God. Three questions have intrigued the curiosity of man: (1) Where did I come from? (2) why am I here? and (3) where am I going? The Christian is the only one who has a satisfying solution for the problem of the origin of all things, “In the beginning God”; a reason for the existence of all things, “To me to live is Christ”; and a satisfactory con summation of all things, “And God himself shall be with them.” It is a great thing to know Jesus Chris! as Saviour and Lord. True Religion True religion extends alike to the intellect and the heart. Intellect is in vain if it lead not to emotion, and emotion is vain if not enlightened by intellect; and both are vain if not guided by truth and leading tc duty.—Tryon Edwards. Values I am told so many ill things of a man, and I see so few in him, that 1 b«gin to suspect he has a real but roublesome merit, as being likely i eclipse that of others.—Bruyero A Resolution Shall we make a new rule of life from tonight; always to try to be a little kinder than is neces sary?—James M. Barrie. Perfeet Virtues Industry, economy, honesty and kindness form a quartette of vir tues that will never be improved upon.—James Oliver.
