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,

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

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" . . . "The Good Earth" Jias been
cut at last—now they’ll start on the pre
views ... And tome day we’U all be able
to tee it . . . Robert Taylor may have to
postpone vacationing in Honoluu if the
ship strike isn’t setted toon . . . But mo
tion picture people are ‘ accustomed to
postpo ning a vacation again and again
before they finally take it .. . Spencer
Tracy, just through with "Captains
Courageous," will start soon on another

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).

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.

Britain Traces 1776 Failure
The British attribute their fail
ure in our Revolution .to the fact
that, according to them, it waa
largely a naval war and the Eng
lish fleet lacked its usual dash and
enterprise. Their armies failed on
land for want of proper support
from the sea and Yorktown’s sur
render was due to the actual, if
temporary, loss of the command
of the sea, with Paul Jones harry-
tag the English at their own doora.
