VIRGINIA VALE**:*
I F YOU enjoy yourself most at
films that make your hair
stand on end, your spine tingle,
and your hands grow damp in
terror, Gaumont - British has
brought over just the ideal eve
ning’s entertainment for you. It
is “The Woman Alone,” with
Oscar Homolka and Sylvia Sid
ney.
If you take my advice, you will
see it in the afternoon, so you will
have a few hours before bedtime in
which to recover from the sheer ter
ror it inspires. But by all means
see H, even if it does mean loss of
sleep for a few days, for it is one
rf the smoothest and most gripping
pictures you will ever have a chance
to see.
—+—
Speaking of Sylvia Sidney, she
and Ann Dvorak are running a neck
and neck — or I
should say test and
test — race for the
leading role in Sam
uel Goldwyn’s film
of “Dead End.”
Each girl has made
several tests of the
big scenes in the
play and both are so
good, Mr. Goldwyn
is having a hard
time choosing be
tween them. Holly
wood sort of hopes
Ann Dvorak will get the role, be
cause Sylvia Sidney has had so
many triumphs lately, she really
doesn't need another as much as the
lovable Ann does.
—*—
When Jean Sablon sang on the
Rudy Vallee hour recently, all the
film scouts were listening. Immedi
ately studio heads telegraphed their
New York offices to take a look at
him and put him under contract if
his appearance was half as roman
tic as his voice. They reported that
he was every studio’s dream of a
matinee idol, but none have suc
ceeded in getting him under con
tract yet. Mr. Sablon is twenty-
nine years old and has been singing
in operettas in Paris ever since he
was sixteen.
Everyone who enjoys madcap
comedy will be pleased with the
forthcoming “Love Is News.” Ty
rone Power, Don Ameche, and Lo
retta Young play the leading roles,
bat there is another member of the
cast who may interest yon even
more. Playing opposite Tyrone
Power is a young lady named Carol
Tevis who is an old, old friend of
yours. Never heard of her? Maybe
not under that name, but surely
you will recall that you have loved
and cherished her for years when
I tell you that she used to be the
voice of Minnie Mouse. This is not
her first appearance before the cam
era; she played a small part in
“Sweepstake Annie.”
AJ1 Hollywood is rejoicing because
W. C. Fields is so far on the road to
recovery that he is able to have a
few visitors now, walk around the
sanitarium grounds, and even think
about coming back to Paramount to
work. During his illness he became
one of the country’s leading radio
fans. All day and far into the night
he was listening, and he thinks that
curiosity about the next punch in
the Jack Benny-Fred Allen feud
helped to keep him alive. His other
favorites are Easy Aces and Lum
and Abner.
Sylvia Sidney
Zasu Pitts has come back from
England where she made two pic
tures, paused in
New York a short
time and hustled
into Hollywood to go
to work at RKO.
She loved sightsee
ing in England, par
ticularly as her
guide was the mel
low-voiced Charles
Laughton of innu
merable film tri
umphs, including
“Ruggles of Red
Gap” in which she
appeared. Laughton not only
showed her around London, he gave
her a pair of exquisite French an
tique vases for her new home. In
cidentally, a radio sponsor is trying
to get Zasu to devote all her time to
radio programs.
Zasu Pitts
ODDS AND ENDS—John Barrymore
looked at himself on the screen and was
so shocked that he went off to the desert
with a physical trainer and went in for
regular hours and exercise. After two
weeks he emerged looking healthy and
about ten years younger . . . Gertrude
Michael, fMy recovered after a long hos
pital siege, is starting work in "There
Goes My Girl," a newspaper story in
which Lee Tracy, as usual, plays the star
reporter . . . Paul Muni grew a beard for
his part in "The Woman l Love" and
was longing for the day when he could
shave it off when he got the bad news
that he will have to keep it months long
er for his role in "The Life of Emile
Zola" . . . Shirley Temple he* been pro
moted to the fourth grade, but she can
console herself that she would be rated
e senior in any singing, dancing or dra

Peasant Trend in Children’s Clothes
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
B E AS colorful as you will in fit
ting out the little folks in new
spring togs for fashions both adult
and juvenile have gone madly, wild
ly, gaily peasant this season. Vivid
colors, quaint and naive silhouettes,
amusing details, wealth of embroi
dery done in bright yarns or metal
thread, applique of wee posies cut
out of gay felt after the manner
of Tyrolean and Dalmatian cos
tumes—what more could designers
ask in way of inspiration in creat
ing clothes to fit into the scheme
of childhood’s realm!
It lends to the glamor and ro
mance of this all-pervading peasant
influence in costume design for lit
tle folks that many of the fash
ions are authentically reproduced in
current style collections. The spe
cialty shops and children’s sections
in the larger stores are in many
instances showing actual reproduc
tions of the picturesque dresses
and boleros and gay little hats
and caps as worn by the peasant
folk of the Tyrol and in Dalmatia.
Even when not a faithful copy there
is almost sure to be a touch of em
broidery or a bright little feather
or novel painted buttons or some
one accent or another that be
speaks peasant origin.
You can see by the attractive
fashions pictured that the younger
generation is looking its cunning-
est in its new peasant-inspired
clothes. The enthusiasm of a vast
audience knew no bounds when the
little folks who modelled these win
some outfits came shyly, prettily,
smilingly down the runway at one
of the series of breakfast style clin
ics held recently in the spacious
Merchandise Mart in Chicago, that
huge structure which is so alive
with throngs of merchants, manu
facturers, designers, buyers and
sight-seeing out-of-town guests the
very air vibrates with activity.
No end of applause greeted the
child who wore a colorful Dalma
tian costume featuring a gaily em
broidered hat-and-bolero ensemble
—see it shown to the right in our
illustration. The dress is of natu
ral colored linen, the bolero in bright
blue enlivened with typical Dalma
tian embroidery.
Under her Tyrolean coat the old
er little girl centered in the group
wears a typical Tyrolean skirt with
embroidered shoulder-strap top to
gether with a sweater in green. Her
Scotch cap of blue straw with a
green feather complements her
princess-cut coat held over her arm.
Princess coat plus peasant dress
thus do both princess and peasant
influences reflect in current vogue.
The sweater worn guimpe fashion,
is ever so Tyrolean with its touches
of bright embroidery at the neck
line. This is a fashion of utmost
practicality.
The tot with her beloved bunny
in arms wears a peasant-type dress
of Venetian wine dimity. It is fash
ioned to create the impression of
two pieces. The full skirt sug
gests the much-talked-of dirndl
dress which is being so widely ex
ploited in connection with Austrian
peasant fashions. Of course, to
catch the true Tyrolean spirit there
must be hand-embroidery on the
waist which there is together with
wee pearl buttons that adorn the
front of the dress.
Your young daughter and son
may not be twins but if they are
to be correctly dressed mod
erns this spring they’ll be cos
tumed alike in gay peasant fash
ion. Note the youngster sketched
below who has gone as authen
tically Tyrolean as a native
in his gaily embroidered sus
pender suit. Every little girl’s ward
robe is supposed to include a sweat
er. This season sweaters (see the
outline sketch) are made irresistib
ly attractive with colorful yarn-em
broidered little flowers.

BROWN AND BEIGE
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
Choose beige for your spring cos
tume, for beige is a fashion-first
color on the new season’s pro
gram. Here is an ultra smart en
semble. This suit is fashioned of
lightweight cloth in the new beige
for which everybody is calling just
now. To give it a high-style accent
this young woman chooses to c<m-
trast her beige costume with brown
tortoise shell catalin jewelry. As
our Parisian sisters who are past
masters in dress have long pointed
out the detail is the real secret in
achieving style prestige.
TWO TONES OF ONE
COLOR IS LATEST
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
Fashion’s latest move is to use
two tones of one color for the cos
tume ensemble. Per example a
navy blue cloth three-piece has the
skirt and cape of the navy with
a lighter blue for the blouse and
the cape lining. In the same man
ner light gray is worked with dark,
brown or perhaps rust with beige,
dubonnet with a related pink and
sonon.
The light-top dress which is such
a general favorite is often de
signed this season with a skirt of
the dark color, the top bodice de
veloping in a lighter tone of the
same color.
Then again the scheme is carried
through with the suit, say in brown
smartened with lighter brown or
beige accessories, or in navy with
light blue scarf, gloves and per
haps a chiffon scarf veil in the
lighter blue on the hat for the
scarf hat is very smart style for
spring.
Wear Flowers
A flower corsage or boutonniere
is almost inevitable this spring with
your dress or suit. Smart vogue
calls for large flowers to correspond
with the huge florals in printed fab
rics.
Sports Jewelry
Light, natural colored wood, in
set with narrow strips of catalin
in four different bright colors pro
vides a really smart accessory for
strictly sports clothes.

Lesson for March 28
JOHN’S RECOLLECTION OF
THE RISEN LORD.
LESSON TEXT—John 20:19-29; 21:20-24.
GOLDEN TEXT — And when I saw him,
I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his
right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear
not; I am the first and the last: I am he
that liyeth, and was dead; and, behold, I
am alive for evermore. Amen; and have
the keys of hell and of death. Rev. 1:17,18.
PRIMARY TOPIC—Our Living Lord.
JUNIOR TOPIC — Eating Breakfast With
Jesus.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—
Who Saw Jesus After His Resurrection?
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—
Christ's Resurrection a Glorious Fact.
“The best authenticated fact in
all history”—that is what competent
historians have called the resur
rection of Christ. One of America’s
greatest legal authorities used it
as an illustration of how properly
to prove a fact in court. If anyone
comes to this lesson with doubts
about the bodily resurrection of our
Lord, let him give himself to a study
of the evidence. He will find it over
whelmingly satisfying and complete.
That is as it should be, for the
resurrection is vital to the com
pleteness of man’s redemption. Had
Jesus died and remained in the
grave, his claims would have been
nullified; we should indeed have
been “of all men most miserable”
(I Cor. 15:19). But Paul goes on in
triumphant faith, “Now is Christ
risen from the dead.” We have a
resurrection faith, a living Saviour.
Our lesson brings before us our
Lord in his post-resurrection ap
pearance to his disciples, and a
subsequent conversation with Peter.
These verses fittingly tie up the
resurrection of Christ with the life
and service of his followers. Those
who serve the risen Christ have an
inward peace and an outward au
thority and power. Their convictions
are based on the best of evidence
and carry them forward to a life of
personal responsibility and service.
I. Peace (20:19-21).
Peace of Soul is absolutely es
sential to useful and satisfied living.
Only as we are “steadfast, immov
able,” can we be “abounding in the
work of the Lord” (I Cor. 15:58).
Steady at the center, active at the
circumference.
II. Authority (w. 21-23)
Commissioned and sent by the
Son of God, clothed with Holy
Spirit power, the Church of God
has his authority. While some have
read too much into verse 23, others
have read out of it the real authority
that God has given.
in. Conviction (w. 24-29)
Thomas made the serious error
of being absent from the gathering
of the disciples when the Lord Jesus
stood in their midst. Let those who
commonly absent themselves from
the place and hour of worship take
heed lest they miss a blessing, and
coming later add nothing to the
spiritual life of the church, but rath
er become troublers and doubters.
But God graciously turns the
doubt of Thomas into a means of
blessing to all of us who since then
have read of his experience. Thom
as was an honest doubter. God is
always ready to meet such with
satisfactory proof. The trouble is
that there are so many in the world
who use professed doubts to cover
a life of sin.
Doubt may come to any man. In
itself it is no sin. But to cherish
it and hold to it in unbelief—that
is a different matter. One wise spi
ritual leader rightly counselled his
people, “Believe your beliefs and
doubt your doubts. Never make the
mistake of doubting your beliefs or
believing your doubts.”
When Thomas saw the Lord,
doubt rapidly changed to strong per
sonal conviction and abandonment
of himself to his Lord and Saviour.
IV. Responsibility (21:20-24)
This incident took place at a later
appearance of Jesus to a smaller
group of the disciples. The irre
pressible Peter has, as usual, a
question to ask, “What shall this
man do?” It is a right thing to be
concerned about the welfare of oth
ers, to see to it that they live right
and do right. But there is in our
relationship to God a primary per
sonal responsibility, our own lives.
The writer of the Song of Solomon
(1:6) spoke a profound and deep
cutting word when he said, “They
made me keeper of the vineyards;
but my own vineyard have I not
kept.” Perhaps Jesus is saying to
me, or to you, the solemn words
that he spoke to Peter, “What is
that to thee? follow thou me.”
Personal responsibility should be
one of the most resultful factors in
the making of manhood, as in the
finding of salvation.
Duty and Honor
Despise danger and self-interest

cerned.—Selected.

touches the notes rightly and in
time—Ruskin.

God does not comfort us to make
as comfortable, but to make us
comforters.
