***By VIRGINIA VALE
I T HAS always been difficult
to get permission to visi^stu-
dios in Hollywood. From now
on, popular comedians, like the
Marx Brothers, Jack Benny,
and Burns and Allen hope to
make it impossible. In fact,, if
there were any way that they
could make pictures without
having a flock of carpenters,
electricians, property men, and
• extras around, they would be
heartily in favor of adoptirg it.
Thieves on the set are the reason
for all this uproar. It would be bad
enough if the thieves merely lifted
jewelry, or furs, but these thieves
steals ideas whose worth cannot be
estimated unless you can think in
staggeringly big figures. When co
medians aad their gag men have fi
nally worked out a funny situation
and filmed it, two months may
elapse before it is shown on the
screen. But almost at once come
dians elsewhere introduce their
' . funny situation. Obviously, some-
.one from the studio told them about
v it—but who? ,
It is always gratifying to see a
real trouper win out over all odds.
That is why every
one is rejoicing over
Alice Faye’s hit in
“On the Avenue.”
When Irving Berlin
moved into the
Twentieth Century-
Fox studio with a
knockout musical
score under his arm,
the studio officials
said, "We’ve got
something big
here.” So, they de
cided to build up a
marvelous cast with players bor
rowed from other studios. They got
Dick Powell from .Warner’s and
Madeleine Carroll from Walter
Wanger Productions for the leading
roles. And then their own Alice
Faye in a secondary role walked off
with all honors that weren’t taken
by the crazy antics ' of their own
Ritz Brothers.
Alice Faye
A long time ago Paramount
bought a story called ‘‘Easy Mon
ey” for Carole Lombard, but she
has been so busy on other pictures
she never got around to make it.
Meanwhile the studio officials have
been impressed by the bounding
ponularity of Jsan Arthur and de
cided she would do nicely in the
leading role« After a vacation in
New York, she will.
For months Cary Grant has gone
around saying that if his Paramount
contract would only come to an end,
he would never sign another with
anybody. He would just make pic-
« tures when he felt like it, and spend
the rest of his time lying on the
beach at Santa Monica or taking
leisurely trips to England. But after
wdtching his work in the new Grace
Moore picture, Columbia officials
didn’t like his idea at all. They de
cided they must have him under
contract. No one has ever been
known to win an argument with
Jack Cohn, the grand mogul of Co
lumbia Pictures, so Cary signed the
contract he offered.
Back in New York all the young
stage players and all the dramatic
school students go to see Greta
Garbo in “Camille” over and over.
Two girls who are living on a tiny
budget that permits eating only now
and then and never riding on a
street car or bus, had gone every
day for six days and seen the pic
ture at least 14 times. They were
broke and hungry, but they felt they
just had to see it again. So, they
screwed up their courage and told
the manager of the Capitol theater
how much they were learning from
watching her, and he arranged to
let them in free.
Deanna Durbin, the fourteen-year-
old sensation of Eddie Cantor’s
radio program and
Universal’s “Three
Smart Girls” thinks
New Yorkers aren’t
very good mathema
ticians. She realized
her lifelong ambi
tion of climbing the
stairs inside the
Statue of Liberty on
her first visit to New
York a few weeks
ago. But the sign at
the foot of the steep,
winding stairs said
there were 161 steps,
and Deanna courted 165. Determin
edly she dragged her weary feet up
the steps again, only to find that
she was right the first time.

tpASHION foresees as tremendous
*■ a vogue for prints as ere eye
hath witnessed. What with gay and
flowery, bursting-with-color silk
prints massing together in a scene
of riotous beauty, as they are at
the dawn of this new season, the
Easter style parade promises to be
a colorful pageant.
The beauty of the super-lovely
prints brought out this season tran
scends all that has gone before.
Some of them look as if nature it
self had thrown clusters of flowers
on black or navy grounds and in
their own graceful way petals and
leaves had fluttered down in pretty
confusion. This tendency to depart
from the conventional adds to the
fascination of the new prints.
One of the charms of a colorful
and chic flowery printed silk dress
or ensemble is that it breathes the
very breath of spring even if snows
may not yet have melted out of
sight. Then, too, clad in raptur
ous gay print you are sure to look
lovely regardless of features, av
oirdupois or the color of your hair.
As to the practical side of the ques
tion a vivacious print has a most
fetching way of taking kindly to the
idea of being worn under your fur
or your smart new spring cloth coat
which is something to think about,
seeing that Easter comes so early
this year. '
For a fashion “first” the demand
centers mostly about the dark-
ground types with emphasis on wide
spaced effects. Huge floral patterns
both for daytime and evening in a
maze of vivid colors is the new note
for silk prints. There is also a
pronounced trend in favor of strik
ingly bold black and white effects.
Also enthusiasm is running high for
paisley and cashmere prints with
an oriental beauty that baffles de
scription. Very new too, and out
standing are the flower-striped silk
prints.
The high-style costume to the left
in the illustration is fashioned of
one of the very smart * -ack crepes
printed in white with crown motif,
no doubt inspired by the coming
coronation. The modish square
shouldered black wool cape is lined
with the dress silk. The little black
straw pillbox has roses encrusted
in the crown with petals spattered
on the draped veil.
To the right, the print that fash
ions this model is black crepe
spaced with flowers in bright char
treuse yellow. Similar prints are
carried out in gorgeous multi-color.
The bodice and sleeves are draped
in accordance with latest style dic
tates. The skirt is sunburst-pleated.
The tiny cap worn far back on the
head is last word millinery.
The more widely spaced the
smarter for prints, which gives zest
to designers to play up the idea
with originality so that one flower
cluster will position at the very
most effective spot on the bodice
while another remote bouquet will
find its way to. exactly the strategic
point it should to show off to best
advantage on the skirt. Note the
lovely dress centered in the group.
The very fragrance of violets is
caught in this gray silk crepe frock
with huge bunches of violets scat
tered over the ground. A lovely
Easter corsage completes this vio
let symphony. It is really quite the
thing to wear flowers, artificial or
natural, matching the flowers in the
silk print. Green straw braid with
a cluster of violets makes the pert
hat and green .suede gloves are
worn with it. If it’s a cold Easter
wear this lovely gown under your
gray Persian lamb coat.

DUSTY-PINK WOOL
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
COTTON LACES IN
FAVOR FOR EVENING
A pastel wool frock for spring,
and you will be right up-to-the-mo-
ment in style. Among the fascinat
ing colors there is no lovelier than
the new much-exploited dusty-pink.
The attractive two-piece dress pic
tured is made of a highly fashion
able dusty-pink tropical worsted. Al
lied with a multi-colored knit swag
ger coat the color scheme tunes in
delightsomcly to a gladsome spring
day. Jet buttons and a black patent
belt add to the prestige of this
fashionable costume.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
Cotton laces have been popular
for a couple of seasons past, but
most often these have been associ
ated with the sports and daytime
frocks for summertime, and in the
sturdy types of laces that suggest
fabrics. - This season, however, they
are seen in great quantity and va
riety for evening, and are compet
ing in favoritism with the prints
and sheer fabrics. These cotton
laces for evening are the sheer and
crisp types, and are delightfully
novel and varied in their patterns.
They usually follow simple classic
lines, not too formal in cut, and
are especially nice for young girls.
They are most effective when worn
over rustling taffeta slips, and this
of course makes them the more de
sirable to the debs and sub-debs.
Hemlines Focus Fashion’s
Spotlight on Smart Heels
There’s no longer any need for
women to depend on the chance
swish of a skirt to reveal the spark
ling heels on their evening shoes.
To make certain that heels get the
notice they deserve, French design
ers are sponsoring evening gowns
with skirts draped up a trifle at
the back.
This is in line with the trend for
bringing back views to the fore
front of style.

Lesson for March 7
LIFE HERE AND HEREAFTER
THROUGH CHRIST
LESSON TEXT—John 14:1-15.
GOLDEN TEXT — I am the way, the
truth, and the life: no man cometh unto
the Father, but by me. John 14:6.
PRIMARY TOPIC—In the Heavenly
Father’s House.
JUNIOR TOPIC — Many Mansions.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—
Why We Need Christ Always.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—
Life Here and Hereafter through Christ.
It was the night before the darkest
day in the world’s history. On the
morrow the Son of man was to
hang on Calvary’s tree for the sins
of the world—for your sins, and for
mine. But for the moment he was
alone with his disciples. The last
Passover had been eaten together,
the betrayer had been discovered,
and the Lord has told them that he
was soon to go where they could
not follow. Peter had, by his bold
self-assurance, brought forth the
prophecy of his denial. The disciples
were disturbed. Then came from the
Saviour the words of comfort, as
surance, and power which have been
the strength and solace of his peo
ple through all the centuries. Our
life both here and hereafter is in
His mighty hands.
I. Comfort (vv. 1-3).
Troubled hearts are everywhere—
in the palace and in the cottage, on
land and sea. There is a place of
rest, thank God! There is One who
still speaks the majestic words,
“Let not your heart be troubled,
ye believe in God, believe also in
me.”
His comfort is one which covers
the future life, for he says:
1. “I go to prepare a place”(v.2).
Concern about future destiny is set
tled at once when Christ Jesus be
comes our Lord and Saviour. We
need worry no longer. He has gone
on before to the Father’s house to
prepare a place for his own. When
we come to that ever-peaceful shore
we shall not come as strangers, but
as sons and daughters to a prepared
place in our Father’s house.
2. “I will come again” (v.3) is
the word that gives present mean
ing to the future promise. He not
only prepares the place, but he it
is who brings us there. The glorious
hope of his coming again is the
Christian’s greatest comfort and
mightiest incentive to useful, holy
living.
II. Assurance (vv. 4-11).
The doctrine of Christian assur
ance is one of vital importance,
and should be taught in all its scrip
tural power and beauty. Unfortun
ately it has so suffered violence at
the hands of some of its friends
that others have not only come to
fear it, but even openly to oppose
it. This is most regrettable, for it
is manifest that until one has as
surance he will make but little prog
ress in Christian usefulness.
The believers assurance rests
fundamentally on Christ himself.
Two grounds are given in the text.
1. “I am the way, the truth, and
the life” (v. 6). These words are
their own best commentary. Read
them again, slowly, weighing the
meaning of each word. If we are
in him who is the way, how safe
we are! If we are not in him? Read
his own solemn words in verse 6,
“No man cometh unto the Father
but by me.” (v. 11).
In Christ dwells all the fullness of
the Godhead. He is not only a super
natural being, he is God. How can
anyone deny that and read his
words in these verses? To do so
is to make Jesus a liar and
blasphemer.
III. Power (vv. 12-15).
His followers are not left in a
world of sin and need as a little
group of hymn-singing weaklings,
thinking only of the day when they
shall be in a brighter land. Ah, yes,
they sing hymns and rejoice i n
them; they look for a better land;
their weapons of warfare are not
carnal—but weaklings? Oh, no! God
uses them to do great and mighty
things for his glory.
1. “He that believeth” (v. 12).
This army of God carries the royal
banner of faith.
2. “Greater works . . . shall he
do” (v. 12). Jesus only began his
work on earth. Its greatest deve’on-
ment was to be the joyous privilege
of his followers.
3. “If ye ask ... I will do”
(v. 14). Someone has called this a
signed blank check on all the re
sources of God. Faith fills it in, un
der the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Moody knew how to use it. So did
Mueller, Livingstone, J. Hudson
Taylor—the list might go on indefi
nitely. Shall we dare to trust God
and add our name as one of those
who ask in faith?
Charm Motif
If you have fallen lor the fad of
charms in your costume decoration,
you’ll want a quilted suede bag
which displays a charm motif. Some
of the same figures which are pop
ular for chain bracelets arc pre
sented on the leather surface. Ani
mal themes are featured most but
they are far from realistic.

stitchery. There are enough cut-
work motifs to make two pairs of
towels or pillow cases or two
sciarfs. In pattern 5749 you will
find directions and charts for a
complete alphabet; a transfer pat
tern of two motifs SVa by 8%
inches and two motifs 5 l A by 6
inches; directions for use of ini
tials; illustrations of all stitches
used.
