Christian Missions are a going concern. There are about 25,000 missionaries on the foreign field, and many of them occupy comfort able, substantial houses. The com pounds of the principal foreign missionary societies occupy areas in each of the leading cities where the missionary enterprise has es tablished itself. It is clear that the pioneer days of the movement are over. One is impressed, in studying missions, with the wisdom, ability, and harmony of the present mis sionaries, and the extent of the success already achieved. With the conviction that . the time had come for a careful ap praisal of the whole movement, in all of its phases, a group of dis tinguished laymen went to the Orient a few years ago for a de tailed, unbiased investigation. Their report, “Re-Thinking Missions: A Laymen’s Inquiry After One Hun dred Years,” created a sensation, and immediately became one of the best sellers in the religious book field. These commissioners brought back from their trip a strong and unanimous conviction that foreign missions are of great importance if conducted on sound lines. They criticize the sectarianism and Westernism of Protestant missions, and assert that their primary aim should not be to build up the church as an institution, but to permeate both the individual and society with the spirit of Christ. But note that this epoch-making report does not advocate any re treat. In fact these thoughtful laymen favor many lines of ad vance which will require, for their accomplishment, large additional funds. Indeed if all of their sug gestions are carried out Christen- jdom will become bankrupt. The i need is overwhelming. For the ; world is critically ill, and the Christian, missionary gospel of good-will is the road to health. Reporter. Mt.

The grid hero and his band leader pal set the world of fashion agog, the hearts of the mademoi selles atwitter, and the feet of the Parisians aflame during the course of their hectic adventures. Jerome Kern, king of musical comedy composers, wrote the music for the screen production. In ad dition to the original songs, among them “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes,’ from the stage show, new Kerr songs written especially for the film, are presented.

Featuring the singing of Miss Dunne, the dancing and singing of Astaire and Miss Rogers, and a brilliant display of feminine fash ions by a regiment of beautiful mannequins, the production offers sparkling entertainment of tre mendous appeal. Melody and dance numbers and the lavish fashion displays all are woven logically into a fast-moving, thoroughly plausible story which combines tender romance with gay comedy. Love interest centers about Miss Dunne and Randolph Scott, al though there is more than a sug gestion of romance in the battle of wits between Astaire and Miss Rogers and their teaming of dance wizardy. The story revolves about the comedy-rich situation of an All- American football player falling Something entirely new in love stories is said to be brought to the screen by William Powell and Ginger Rogers in “Star of Mid night,” current RKO-Radio Picture woven around New York’s society and night life, coming to Hollywood Theatre Monday and Tuesday, June 24th and 25th. Romance in this modern, sophis ticated drama follows no charted course. The red haired Ginger, in the role of a young society beauty, takes the aggressive, and it’s hard to tell whether Powell is a willing victim, or an apprehensive clinger to the standard of bachelorhood. In other words, it’s the man in the ce°e who keeps the girl and the audience guessing. A sinister mystery adds the thrills of suspense to romance and subtle comedy, with Powell and Miss Rog ers joining forces to track down the clues to a strange disappearance and a weird murder. Stephen Roberts directed “Star of Midnight,” which is based on a story by the late Arthur Somers Roche, master of mystery fiction. In the supporting cast are such well known players as Ralph Morgan, Paul Kelly, Leslie Fenton, Vivian Oakland, Gene Lockhart, Russell Hopton and J. Farrell MacDonald.
