VIRGINIA VALE k'kk
O VER at the Paramount stu
dio you are just a wallflow
er if you don’t know your
American history. Directors,
players, authors and any vis
itors who happen to be around
swap stories about pioneer
days, and anyone brash enough
to mention current events like
who won the second race at
Santa Anita, or what happened
last night at a cafe, is quickly
squelched.
To the great success of “The
Plainsman’’ goes the credit—or the
blame—for all this pride in the past.
The company is so enthusiastic over
that picture, and the forthcoming
“Maid of Salem” that they are delv
ing into history for their next big
production, “I, James Lewis,” the
story of the early days of the Wells-
Fargo express.
Actors are apt to be a pretty
gloomy and pessimistic lot when
you know them
well. They are al
ways worrying be
cause the career of
an actor is apt to be
short, always point
ing out men in the
extra ranks who on
ly a few years ago
were stars. Now
they have suddenly
discovered that
their worries were
imaginary. Jack
Holt, after twenty-
four years in pic
tures, just signed a new contract
with Columbia to make six Westerns
a year. He is as popular as ever,
maybe more so.
For weeks Clark Gable has been
completely mystified by receiving
high offers for the decrepit old Ford
Carole Lombard sent him as a val
entine last year. Now the troth
is oat. A Mr. Brown of Richmond,
Virginia, wants to boy it to exhibit
at Comity Fairs. Bat Clark won’t
sell unless Carole gives him per
mission.
Jack Holt
Instead of raving about Henry
Fonda and Sylvia Sidney in the grip
ping tragic “You Only Live Once,”
Hollywoodians come out of the thea
ter making up silly couplets. That
is what the company gets for dis
pensing with grammar in the title.
One of Henry’s best friends said,
“ ‘You Live Only Once’ may be bet
ter grammar, but ‘You Only Live
Once’ is elegant drammer.” Anoth
er one, playing with the same idea,
paid, “ ‘You Live Only Once’ may
be more grammatical, but ‘You On
ly Live Once’ is very dramatical.”
Susan Fleming thought that she
had retired from the screen when
she married Harpo Marx, but she
made the mistake of stopping in
at the studio to have luncheon with
her husband, and first thing she
knew the director called out, “That
girl over there—she’s just what I’ve
been looking for.” So, she is play
ing in “A Day at the Races” with
her husband and his giddy brothers.
Ginger Rogers is not only the
most popular girl in Hollywood
these days; she is the most sur
prising. Night after night she is
out dancing with one of her many
beaux—Jimmy Stewart, or Cary
Grant, or the visiting socialite, Al
fred Vanderbilt—but all that gayety
hasn’t stopped her from breaking
into a new career. She has written
a song called “I Can’t Understand.”
Maybe you heard Fred Astaire in
troduce it over the air recently.
That is team work for you.
Myroa Loy isn’t complaining, but
she does think wistfully nowadays
of W. S. Van Dyke,
and the way he can
direct a marvelous
picture like “The
Thin Man” or its se
quel in eighteen or
twenty days. She
has been working in
“Parnell” for three
months and the end
isn’t anywhere in
sight. John Stahl,
who directed “The
Magnificent Obses
sion” and many
other thrilling pic
tures, is very deliberate about his
work, and in making “Parnell” he
is just as apt to have Myrna and
Clark Gable do scenes over and
over as he is to repeat the scenes
of minor players.
ODDS AND ENDS: No lova scenes have
been filmed in any of the studios for the
past eeeek end more because of the flu
epidemic . . . with the rest of the coun

Wool Tailleur for an Early Easter
Bv CHERIE NICHOLAS
'T'HE calendar announces an ear-
* ly Easter. Supposing the weath
er should happen to go tempera
mental. Just merely supposing it
should by any chance happen to
cloud a bit, rain a bit, possibly
send down a snowflake or so, then,
oh then, comes that ever haunting
“what-to-wear” question.
And the answer? A practical, ul
tra modish tailored wool outfit is
the logical answer if you want to
be ready for rain or shine. Smart
ly, simply fashioned, it must be of
a swanky wool weave in latest ap
proved color with fashion-right ac
cessories that add the final accent
of chic. The illustration pictures
what we are meaning to say. Per
fect is this trio of “what-to-wears”
for Easter or for any spring day,
be it sunshiny or cloudy.
Before we describe in detail the
stunning tailleurs pictured we want
to say a word in regard to out
standing colors for spring. We are
going to talk mostly about black,
navy, beige, gray and the new pas
tels. Many best-dressed women are
selecting black cloth suits with
which they plan to wear frilly lin
gerie blouse or neckwear, adding
white doeskin gloves and a white
boutonniere. As to navy, it’s big
news for spring, navy wool twills
especially for the classic suit. And
there’s beige! It, also, is staging
a most exciting comeback. In the
pastels you’ll adore the new “dusty
pinks,” also various soft blues,
“rusty” yellows and misty greens.
You will be hearing the expres
sion “softly tailored” frequently
this season because most suits have
lost their mannish lines and the
trend is to graceful, subtle silhou
ettes. Note, for example, the charm
ing youthful suit to the right in the
picture. No femininity is sacrificed.
Smart in either black or navy is
the lightweight wool that styles this
distinctive spring model. The skirt
is short and slim and the cutaway
jacket buttons up to a “young”
round collar. The short blouse is
of white satin. The pillbox hat with
jaunty quill and piquant face-veil
is decidedly chic.
Pastel blue wool kasha makes the
three-piece cape costume centered
in the group. Capes are very im
portant this season, emphasizing as
they do the softly tailored theme.
A slightly flared skirt is topped by
a short-sleeved, front-buttoned jack
et with body of jacket and sleeves
made in one piece, stitched onto a
yoke. The matching cape with fit
ted shoulders ties at the chin un
der the jacket collar.
It is to be expected that the
three-piece tailored ensemble to the
left be in the smart widely-exploit
ed beige color, for as we said be
fore beige is definitely “in” this
spring. With the jacket this very
lovely three-piece becomes a smart
suit, just such as will fit into the
Easter style program admirably.
Without the jacket you have a win
some light wool dress which will
come in perfectly for mild spring
days. The matching beige fur is
a smart detail for the fur-trimmed
suit is conspicuously present in ad
vance style displays. Note the off-
face hat of Breton influence, for
this is the very latest for hat and
hairdress. The black doeskin gloves
and strap-handle bag “say it” with
fashion emphasis.

SMART PLAID TWEED
By CHERIK NICHOLAS
Plaid woolens for spring! You’ll
be “tops” in fashion if you come
out in a full-length reefer coat, a
picturesque cape suit, a classic
jacket suit or with a short box coat
of plaid woolen. It’s English, it’s
Scotch, it’s both. Due to the inter
est shown in the coming corona
tion, woolens take on a decidedly
English accent this spring. The coat
pictured is of imported tweed with
coronation red prominent in its
coloring. The white toya hat has
red grosgrain inserts in comple
ment to the red in the plaid.
GLOVES PROMINENT
IN SPRING STYLES
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
Soft, oozey glace kidskin, that
makes the hands look long and slen
der, is very much in fashion now.
The styles shown by Aris for formal
afternoon wear are exceedingly chic
and those marvelous 16-button eve
ning gloves in glace kid or suede
reach the nth degree of extrava
gance.
Mokado, the superlative quality
French doeskin, is the supreme in
that leather. It is washable, which
accounts for its continued popular
ity. Nothing could be handsomer
than a pair of six or eight button
handsewn doeskin gloves. The
longer lengths, by the way, are
smarter this season than the short,
either in white, black or fetching
new colors.
While the plain, classic slipon re
mains most acceptable, the cos
tume glove is more interesting and
more fun to wear. Then, there are
all sorts of touches, such as hand
whipping, embroidery, stitching,
thong lacing and so on, that give
the new gloves distinction.
Pendant Earrings
Earrings have regained prestige
and since ears are sometimes cov
ered by the coiffure this means the
pendant type will be worn as well
as the clip. Simple necklines add
to the possibilities of earrings.
Silver Threads
The current coin of fashion is
silver gleaming on crepe or satiny
backgrounds. A blouse with the glit
ter of silver—needn’t be expensive
at all—will turn your suit into a
! five o’clock costume.

Lesson for March 14
JESUS PRAYING FOR HIS DIS
CIPLES
LESSON TEXT — John 16:5-7; 17:14-26.
GOLDEN TEXT — That they may be
one, even as we are one. John 17:22.
PRIMARY TOPIC —When Jesus Prayed
for His Friends.
JUNIOR TOPIC—Did Jesus Pray for
Me?
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—
Jesus Praying for Us.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—
Unity with God and One Another.
The assurance that someone is
praying for us is an anchor in a
time of storm. Many a man or
woman has been on the point of giv
ing up in despair, of yielding to
temptation, and has been carried
through to victory by the interces
sion of a godly mother or father.
Just to know that someone prays
for us is to find strength for the
knees that have weakened and for
the heart that has all but failed.
Infinitely more precious is the
truth of our lesson, that the Lord
Jesus himself prayed for each one
of his followers. John 17:20 makes
clear that while he prayed for those
who were with him at the time, he
also included in his petition all who
since that day have come to be
lieve on him because of their testi
mony.
Before entering upon his inex
pressibly precious and beautiful
prayer, the Lord gave to his fol
lowers a promise which was of vital
importance.
I. A Promise (16:5-7).
Persecution is coming, and Jesus
will not be with them to meet the
trying hour. He is about to enter
upon that final scene in his earthly
life, which will bring it to its end
in “a place called the place of a
skull.”
How then can he say to them that
it is expedient for them that he go
away? Because he will send the
Comforter, the Holy Spirit. Students
of the Scriptures recognize in the
Holy Trinity an inscrutable mys
tery, but receive the teaching of the
Bible concerning the ministries of
the three persons in the one God
head with glad and thankful hearts.
It is a subject which cannot be en
tered into here, but which richly
rewards careful study. Suffice it
to say that while the Holy Spirit
has always been active in the earth,
he did enter upon a ministry of a
special nature when Jesus had gone
to be with the Father.
The essence of the work of the
Holy Spirit is to glorify Christ (16:
14), and in so doing he convicts the
unbeliever of sin and guides the
believer into all truth. The mark of
a Spirit-filled Christian is that he
permits the Spirit to glorify Christ
in him and in his service for God.
II. A Prayer (17: 14-26).
When one enters the sacred
precincts of John 17 he feels that
he has come into the holy of holies,
and that he would not only loose
the shoes from his feet, but also
stand silent in worship and in
praise. He prayed for me—for me!
Each student of this lesson will
wish to enter fully upon the mean
ing of these words as he re-reads
them, in the illumination of the
Holy Spirit. May I suggest three
things which Jesus sought for His
children?
1. Consecration (vv. 14-16). No
one is Christ’s child without regen
eration, but, sad to say, there are
many children in his blessed house
hold who are not obedient, not spir
itually well and strong. They are in
the world, they must be here, but
alas too many of them want to
be as much like the world as pos
sible. He prayed that we might be
kept from evil, separate from the
world, kept by God even in a world
that hates him and his truth.
2. Sanctification (vv. 17-21). This
means to be set apart and cleansed
for God’s service. How is it ac
complished? Through the truth. His
Word is the instrument of sanctifi
cation. Little wonder that there is
so little holiness of living when
the Word has so little opportunity
to touch and cleanse the life.
This separated life brings God’s
people into that unity of love—all
in Christ, and he in the Father—all
bound up in that “one great bundle
of love.”
3. Glorification (vv. 22-26). When
Jesus came into the world in the
flesh he voluntarily laid aside the
glory which was his, and which still
is his, and which he prays that we
may behold. “But we all, with open
face beholding as in a glass the
glory of the Lord, are changed into
the same imo<?e” (II Cor. 3:18).
Thus in beholding his glory we
also may enter into his likeness.
City Versus Country
It cannot escape even a casual
observer that the Bible begins with
a scene in the garden to end in a
city: one may be “nearer God s
heart in a garden than anywhere
else on earth”—but certainly “the
dwelling-place of God is with men.”
Giving and Taking Orders
He who will not accept orders has
no right to give them; he who will
not serve has no right to command;
he who cannot keep silence has no
right to speak.—Hubbard.
Experiences of Life-
Their Significant Interest and
Some Ways to Meet Them
Hr HE journey through life is
filled with experiences from
the time we are born to the day
we die. Without them life would
be dull and uninteresting. The
more experiences are crowded in
to our lives the fuller and more
interesting they become
When we are in the midst of
events that have elements of dan
ger or when they are of momen
tous proportions with matters at
stake that may be disastrous,
should things turn out differently
from our wishes, the mind is too
excited or too much engrossed
with results to grasp anything but
the immediate moment.
Reviewing Experiences.
However, on looking back over
the past, we discover what thrill
ing times we went through, and
how the experiences stand out as
dramatic and of significant inter
est. Often we find ludicrous fea
tures entered into the experience
but we had no eyes to see them
at the time.
No Age Limit.
Since life is so full of experi
ences some of which turn out fe
licitously, and others not so sat
isfactorily, there must be a good
reason for our having to go
through the events. I remember
when I was a little girl and there
was something which, to me,
seemed very important to decide
rightly, how I envied grown-ups.
They always knew just what to
do! The fallacy of this assump
tion we all know, but we do not
all appreciate how dull life would
be if it were true, and how de
velopment would be retarded.
There is no age limit to the series
of experiences.
The benefits of our life experi
ences come through our way ot
taking them, and on our wisdom
of decisions when these require
our consideration. If we think at
ourselves only we become selfish,
hard, and difficult. If we decide
with a larger vision of results, and
of the best good to others as well
as to ourselves, we become fine
and strong characters. By the ex
ercise of good judgment and by
making the best of things we
learn to develop well by expert
ences.

Subduing Fear
The brave man is not he who
feels no fear; for that were stupid
and irrational; but he whose noble
soul subdues its fear and bravely
dares the danger which it shrink*
from.—Joanna Baillie.
