STAR | 1 DUST I Aiovie • Ra Jio * ★ By VIRGINIA VALE*^$ I F YOU failed to see “One Way Passage" when it was origi nally released (and apparently practically everybody failed to see it then), you may have an other chance, if one of your local theaters follows the example of one of the New York ones and shows it again. Hailed as one of the best pictures of its time, it ran into bad luck because it came along when the depression was at its height. Peo ple just weren’t going to the movies then. It’s still a grand picture. William Powell is as expert in it as he is now—but he looks a lot younger. Kay Francis is very lovely, and Frank McHugh proves that then, as now, he is one of our best comedians. Incidentally, is coming right Frank McHugh (he started as in melodramas family) taught erything there acting. that same McHugh along. He is to have a perfect role in “Three Men on a Horse’’ — in fact, he’s to be starred in it. Among others who are said to have wanted that same role are Eddie Can tor. Well, it’s Mc Hugh whom you’ll see playing it on the screen. And his ex cellent performance is the result of the fact that a long ca reer 6n the stage a child, appearing with the rest of his him practically ev- is to know about Margaret Sullavan’s marriage to Leland Hayward came as a decided shock to a lot of people. As you'll recall, rumors have been flying around for a long time to the effect that it was Katherine Hepburn whom Mr. Hayward either would marry or had already married. And now the man who leads the field when it comes to getting jobs for motion-picture actors, selling sto ries and doing all the various things that an agent has to do, has proved that everybody was all wrong. The husky-voiced Margaret came first, apparently. Whether you like football or not, you’ll be amused at “Pigskin Pa rade”—it's hilariously funny. And the Yacht Club Boys do plenty to make it amusing. Lily Pons is turning that Con necticut farm of hers into a wild animal shelter; she'll cater to deer especially. And as one who has lived in those parts and had deer drop in to breakfast, your corre spondent would like to advise her that she’ll have plenty of them. Helen Hayes does a good deal •f rehearsing for her “Bambi” broadcasts, and during the off mo ments that occur at all rehearsals she knits. Does It fast, too—she can turn out mittens and socks in no time at all, and the results are turned over to a charitable organ isation for distribution. — Sonja Henie, the championship kkater who’s now in the movies, doesn’t care now who knows how terrified she was when she made her first screen tests, or how hope less she felt when she saw them. One of the reasons given by Paul ette Goddard Chaplin for keeping her marriage a sec ret was that she wanted to make good under her own name. But the spec ulation that has been going on for ever so long as to whether she and the famous comedian were engaged, were married, or were just friends has kept her name in the papers, coupled with his always. She ap peared in a picture with him, it was announced that he would direct her in two more. Can’t see why it would make any difference if the marriage had been announced when it took place. Except, perhaps, in the amount of publicity. ODDS AND ENDS ... If you have misted Al and Lee Reiter, the clever piano team, be advised that they’ve dropped their Thursday broadcasts and are now heard Tuesdays and Fridays . . . They say that Rosalind Russell may win this year's Acadamy Award for the best performance for her acting in "Craig's Wife" . . .

Paulette Goddard IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I chool Lesson By REV. HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. Dee* of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. O Western Newspaper Unioak Lesson for December 13 JOHN’S VISION ON PATMOS LESSON TEXT—Revelation 1:4-1*. GOLDEN TEXT—rear not; 1 am the first and the last:... .behold. I am alive for ever more. Revelation 1:17, It. PRIMARY • TOPIC—When John Saw Jesua Again. JUNIOR TOPIC—Jerusalem, the Golden. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC- Llstening to the Ever-Living Christ YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC- The Living Christ Among the Churches. The first chapter of the Revela tion, while it is an introduction to the entire book, is worthy of study by itself as a glorious revealing of Jesiis Christ, his person and work. Some will wish to use -the chapter as a preface to the study of the solemn and instructive messages to the seven churches of Asia which are found in chapters 2 and 3; but for most schools it will be better to concentrate on the messages of the chapter itself* I. His Person. While many of the characteristics of the Son of God are here presented, two are particularly emphasized. 1. His eternity (w. 8, 11, 17). In a world which understands but little of the meaning of its past, which lives in a badly befuddled present, and admittedly knows noth ing of the future, it is a source of the deepest satisfaction and peace of heart to know and serve the One who “is and was and which is to come, the Almighty.’’ He already “was in the beginning,’’ and is to be through all eternity. 2. His glory (w. 8, 13-16). Jesus Christ is presented in verse 5 as “the faithful witness and first begotten of the dead," who is the ruler “over all the kings of the earth.” The followers of Christ have a glorious captain and leader. Th{ kingdoms of all the earth are his by right. Some day he will rule in fact and in person. The infinitely beautiful description of our Lord in verses 13 to 16 is almost beyond interpretation. Have you seen him in his majesty and glory? The one who is “in the Spirit on the Lord's Day” can still see “him who is invisible" (Heb. 11:27). n. His Work. * 1. His victory (v. 18). He died for our sins but ”was raised again for aur justification” (Rom. 4:25). We have not a dead, but a living Saviour. Ha haa “the keys of death and hall.” The ona who follows a human leader parts with him at the grave. But he who follows Christ does not lose him when ha passes over into the next world, for he is there, and ha has the keys of all authority, not only in this world but also in that which is to come. 2. His love (v. 5). How deep and rich was his love toward us. It sent him to the cross. 3. His redemption (▼. 5). He “washed us from our sins in his own blood.” We read in Hebrews 9:22 that “without the shedding of blood there is no remis sion.” The cults and creedSsWhich deny or ignore the need of cleans ing in the blood of Jesus Christ may be religious but they are not Christian. 4. His fellowship (v. 13). The candlesticks are churches and the stars are God’s messen gers. They are not alone in the world; he is “in the midst.” Do we recognize his presence? 5. His return (v. 7). “Behold, he cometh with clouds.” How can anyone read the New Test ament end fail to see, and to teach and to preach the Lord’s return? He is coming again. What is our duty in the light of his coming? a. To live lives of purity and Christian nobility. (Read I John 3:3, and compare w. 1 and 2.) b. To be diligent in sacrificial service. “Occupy till I come” (Luke 19:13j is the command of the one who “went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return” (Luke 19:11). TRuhtanWio-Oif ^ tifl Tales and — Traditions PRANK I. HAOIN SCOIT WATSON Love of Nature The presence of the love of Nature is an invariable sign of goodness of heart and justness of moral per ception, though by no means of moral practice. When it is original ly absent from any mind, that mind is in many respects hard, worldly, and degraded.—Ruskin. A Wife There is one name which I can never utter without a reverence due to the religion which binds earth to heaven—a name cheered, beau tiful, exalted and hallowed—and that is the name of wife.—Bulwer. Pride and Humility Pride is not the heritage of man; humility should dwell with frailty, and atone for ignorance, error, and imperfection.—Sydney Smith. Great Duties Great trials seem to be a neces sary preparation for great duties.— E. Thomson. Ability and Opportunity Where there exists honest ability there exists also rual oppoitunity.— G. a Golden. " HOW’RE YOU BETTING TpHOSE loose old days, before A betting was considered illegal, brought considerable wagering on the results of presidential cam paigns—the amounts at stpke fre quently totalling millions. It was back in that era, 1908 to be specific, that brokers making book on the election actually record ed 60,000 to 1 against the chances of one of the candidates. The long shot entry was Eugene V. Debs, perennial Socialist candidate. That same campaign demonstrat ed that the professional odds-layers knew considerable a^out their busi ness. In September, 1908, Taft was the 2 to 1 favorite over Bryan; by October the odds lengthened to 3 to 1 and on election day Taft’s chances were rated at 8 to 1, with few takers. Anyone who believes the pro fessional wagerers are infallible should thumb back the record to 1916 when it is estimated from five to ten million dollars changed hand on the result. ' Wilson and Hughes were the r leading contenders, with Wilson on the inside track because he was up for re-election. In September, 1916, the financial district in New York was betting 2 to 1 on Hughes. In October the odds were 10 to 7 v and even money was placed the day of election. Closeness of the contest, in doubt for days until California returns moved into the Wilson column, perhaps was bxcuse for the error in judgment by the financiers. They may be wrong again in 1936 but perhaps it would Vie well for readers to confine themselves to freak bets, if any at all are made. Perhaps the most ingenious of these occurred in that same 1916 •lection. A man, apparently three sheets in the wind, strolled into a com missioner’s office, bet $5 he could name 20 states Wilson would car ry. He then bet $10 he could name ten additional states. Then he of fered $20 he could name still an other 10 states. “And now,” he announced, “here’s $50 says I can name eight states more for W’son.” When th« rush to take him sub- aided, the bettor, miraculously so bered, named his states. The “pitch” of his game was that he reserved eight states of the solid South as the block on which the $50 wager was laid. He could not fail to win at least $151 ALLISON OF IOWA FIRST honors for “coming close r to the presidency, although he is minus even the standing of an “also-ran,“ must be awarded Wil liam B. Allison of Iowa. Allison’s doubtful honor came to him at the Republican convention of 1888, which ended finally with the nomination of Benjamin Harri son, later elected President. Delegates to the convention had balloted ineffectually for several candidates when a four-hour recess was taken to permit a counting of noses. Delegates from New York, Illinois, California, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Iowa and Missouri, went into conference. Representatives from each of these states were practically em powered to act for the entire state delegation. Senator hoar of Mass achusetts spoke in favor of Alli son of Iowa after several of the candidates had been discussed. It was finally agreed that Allison’s fit ness for the high job was apparent and that he should get the support of the conferring states. New York state had been repre sented, however, by only three of its four delegates-at-large. The three who agreed on Allison failed to reckon with their absent col league, Chauncey Depew, the rapier-worded banqueteer. Depew was president of a rail road at the time. He had been supported as a candidate but was forced to withdraw because of farm belt opposition to the rail roads. Much of the opposition to him had come from Iowa and so he turned thumbs-down on Allison. Subsequent events proved that if Depew had not balked, the con ferring states would have nominat ed Allison and he would have been elected President in place of Har rison. The ironical part of this personal catastrophe is that Allison’s stature measured fully as high as the job demanded. He had moved out to Iowa as a young lawyer, served eight years in the lower house of congress and, beginning in 1872, was a United States senator from the Tall Corn state for an unbroken period of 35 years.
