H ALF of Hollywood is dili
gently searching for giddy
comedies, the sort that have
made Carole Lombard and
Irene Dunne outstanding stars.
The rest of the film colony fig
ure that the public is going to
be fed up on loony antics soon,
and are getting ready to delve
into very serious film biogra
phies.
Garbo still wants to do a comedy,
but has turned down four stories
that the studio has
submitted to her.
Kay Francis is all
set to launch into a
laugh epic. Tyrone
Power and Loretta
Young have started
work on “Her Mas
terpiece,” hoping
that it will be as en
tertaining as their
current “Second
Honeymoon.”
In the biograph
ical division, there
is the life of Clara Barton in which
Irene Dunne will star, the life of
Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of
the telephone, in which Tyrone Pow
er will be featured, and the life of
George Sand, woman novelist, which
will star the dainty Annabella.

THE SUN, NEWBERRY. S. C- FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1937
Over the Top Means Rickety Ride for Japs
A partially demolished bridge on the Chinese front provides the setting for this unusual picture. A Jap
anese tank followed by soldiers rumbles cautiously over the unstable structure as the army moves forward to a
new fighting position on the way to Nanking.
In the latest radio poll Charlie
McCarthy, to no one’s surprise, is
voted the most popular radio star,
and by a wide margin, too. The
great hit of the ventriloquist’s dum
my and the growing appeal of Betty
Lou, that imaginary character on
the Vallee hour, has set radio spon
sors to looking for novelties. And
the next one to bid for your approv
al will be a talking parrot. Sketches
are all Written for the bird, but the
feathery star itself has not been lo
cated. {t seems that all the tryouts
have been a failure.
It takes a long time to score suc
cess in radio, motion pictures, and
on the stage, so it is a good idea
to start at the age of eleven as Joy
Hodges did. She is almost twenty-
one now and can point with pride to
the months when she sang on the
radio with Ted Fio Rito’s and Ozzie
Nelson’s orchestras. You will see
her on the screen in Universal’s
“Merry Go Round of 1938” and she
is playing the lead with George Co
han in the outstanding Broadway hit
of the year, “I’d Rather Be Right,”
which spoofs the New Deal in ami
able fashion. She supported herself
all through her four years at Des
Moines high school by singing at
revival meetings and on the radio.
When you see Carole Lombard in
“Nothing Sacred,” and Barbara
Stanwyck in “Breakfast for Two,”
you may assume that a course in
boxing is a necessary part of every
screen actress’ training. Barbara
puts on gloves and goes after Her
bert Marshall for all she is worth,
pnmmeling and swinging until you
begin to fear that Marshall will have
to play masked bandit roles the
rest of his life. Carole doesn’t stop
for gloves or any such niceties. She
just goes into a slap-happy routine
with Fredric March with no holds
barred.
The M-G-M radio hour, improving
every week, is going to be even bet
ter, because it has
been decided to con
centrate more on
comedy. Ted Healy,
who hasn’t had a
chance really to dis
tinguish himself in
their pictures, has
walked off with all
the honors in their
radio shows. All in
quiries about audi
ence reaction bring
a request for more
Healy specialties.
You will be getting them from now
on. Soon R. K. O. will launch a ra
dio hour with Milton Berle as mas
ter of ceremonies—probably late at
night so that it won’t interfere with
your going to the theater to see their
pictures.

Few indeed are the stories that
will bear retelling or the books that
are worth re-reading. Rare is the
song that we care to hear more than
once. How significant then that we
come to the observance oi Christ
mas each year with hearts full of
delight in the story of the birth of
Jesus, eager again to hear the ac
count from God’s Word, and to lis
ten with attentive souls for the
sound of the angel’s song in the
Christmas music.
The birth of our Lord as the in
carnate Saviour of men is still front
page, headline news, even in 1937.
The glad tidings of his coming still
color the thinking land living of a
world that has gone far from him,
that lives today in hatred and en
mity, even while outwardly recall
ing the coming of the One who was
to bring peace on earth. We have
even gone so far that men feel that
the way to promote peace is to use
the sword. Until the - Prince of
Peace himself shall reign there
may be no other way. But let us
be certain at this Christmas time
that the tender baby hand from the
cradle at Bethlehem has reached
our hearts and lives, bringing us
peace with God and good will toward
men.
The first neven verses of our chap
ter relate the coming of Mary with
Joseph to God’s appointed place at
his appointed time, for the entrance
into this world of the Son of God as
the “Word” that “was made flesh
and dwelt among us” (John 1:14).
Our lesson opens with the proclama
tion of the blessed good news to the
shepherds in the field.
I. “Unto Ton Is Born ... a
Saviour” (w. 8-14).
Christ was a great teacher, one
whom the common people heard
gladly, “for he taught them as one
that had authority, and not as the
scribes” (Mark 1:22). He was a
leader among men, and lived a life
which was an example beyond that
of any man. But mark it well, this
was not the central and essential
purpose of his coming. He came as
a Saviour. His toother, was told be
fore his birth that she should “call
his name JESUS: for he shall save
his people from their sins” (Matt.
1:21).
It is not enough to be among the
countless thousands who superficial
ly observe Christmas with greetings
and gifts. We must with the shep
herds go and present ourselves in
personal devotion to him. If you
have not met the Lord Jesus as your
own personal Saviour do it now. And
if you know him, make this a Christ
mas in which Christ is supreme.
II. “Let Us Now Go . . . and See”
(w. 15, 16).
Their fear changed to assurance
by the words of the angel, the shep
herds at once “go” and “see.”
Would that all those who heard to
day did likewise. The shepherds
might well have found all manner
of excuses for not going. They
had sheep to care for, they were
not prepared for a journey. No, the
urge was upon them “and they
came with haste . . . and found”
Jesus.
III. “When They Had Seen ...
They Made Known” (w. 17-20).
Mary the mother of Jesus had
special reason to ponder thesa
things in her heart. But the shep
herds "returned, glorifying and
praising God for all that they had
heard and seen.”
“Let the redeemed of the Lord
say so” (Ps. 107:2). When we have
found the Lord Jesus we must not
simply rejoice in the satisfaction
and peace that has come to our
own souls. We are saved to serve.
The normal expression of the new
life in Christ is the proclamation of
the gospel to the ends of the earth.
Only in that spirit do we truly keep
Christmas!
To every one that sees these lines
—whether editor, typesetter, or
proofreader—whether a reader in
the midst of the clamor of the great
city or in the quiet of a distant coun
tryside, whether old or young,
whether well or on a sickbed, wheth
er alone, far from family and
friends, or in the bosom of your
family, the writer of these lines
extends in the name of Christ a most
hearty good wish for a blessed
Christmas.
Lesson of Experience
Experience teacheth many things,
and all men are his scholars; yet
he is a strange tutor unteaching
that which he himself hath taught.
Deeds That Make Us
Our deeds still travel with us from
afar, and what we have been makes
us what we are.—George Eliot.

stant occasion of bearing one an

This is a very young frock and
not a little flattering to the debu

built for dancing, and the oh, so
slender waist is no drawback
(take it from one who knows).
Be sure, young lady, to have your
version ready to go when the in
vitation to celebrate comes flash

Spic ’n’ Classic.
There’s always a “morning aft

glad to have a spic and classic
frock like the one above, center.
It is suitable to take back to
school to rouse the roommate’s
envy and, pleasantly enough, it’s
so easy to cut and stitch, a fresh
man can’t go wrong. Make one
version in flat crepa and a carbon

both ways.

Don’t Shake Down Low Fire-

'T'HERE’S a little fault with the
A firing method of quite a few
home-owners that I should like to
correct. They have a mistaken
idea that when a fire is low, all
they have to do is to shake the

flare up again.
Nothing could be further from
the fact. A shallow, half-burned'

to revive it is to add a sprinkling
of fresh coal, giving it time to
ignite. When it is burning well,
shake the grates gently, stopping
when the first red glow shows in
the ashpit.
Then refuel the fire, remember
ing to fill the firebox to the level
of the bottom of the fire door.
This will provide a deep fire,
which is considerably more eco
nomical than a shallow one, for it
burns less coal and lasts a longer
period of time. Also, it minimizes
the attention you have to give a
shallow fire in trying to revive it.

Seeking Your Will
You are seeking your own will.
You are seeking some good other
than the law you are bound to
obey. But how long will you find
good? It is not a thing of choice. It
is a river that flows by the path of
obedience. I say, again, man can
not choose his duties. You may
choose to forsake your duties, and
choose not to have the sorrow
they bring. But you will go forth;
and what will you find? Sorrow
without duty—bitter herbs, and no
bread with them.—George Eliot.
