Whenever she gets balky about'working in a picture selected for her, Sam Goldwyn reminds her of her own admission. Then he goes on to point out that she tfroug^i “Splendor” was a fine story and that she did not like ‘"these Three.” The latter was her greatest success, “Splendor” brought nothing but complaints from the customers. Recently she completed “Wonjan Chases Man” and at the preview the audience roared with delight so continuously that it was necessary to take it back to the studio and in sert some scenes to slow up the ac tion so that laughter would not drown out the good lines. If you pave ever wanted to be a screen star, if you have ever even longed tb visit Hol lywood* then “A Star Is B6rn” is a picture you will aidore. It is so in gratiating, it is hard to imagine anyone who would not enjoy it. Janet Gaynor and Frod- Mc March play the roles of the girl who goes to Hollywood and makes good, the man who helps her and who loses his public just as she is winning hers. An old, old story certainly, but pre sented in a fresh manner, with gay, bantering lines, glimpses of studios and cafes and parties in Hollywood. Here Janet proves th&t she is a mature actress, not ju r 't on appeal ing ingenue. There are delightful comedy scenes where Janet broad ly burlesques Garbo and fcrawford tmd Hepburn. Fredric March Only fhe three or four ranking stars in any studio are given little portable bungalow dressing moms parked right at the side of the set where they are working, so Robert Taylor was rather surprised when he went out to work in “Broadway Melody” to find George Murphy and Buddy Ebsen occupying a most elaborate one. Seeking out the busi ness manager, hq asked if he couldn’t have a dressing room on the set since he had so many cos tume changes to make. “What's the m.Mter with the one we gave you?” the business manager de manded angrily, stalking out on the set. Then he spied Ebsen and Murphy and bellowed “Those clowns are at it again,” and promptly moved them out.

Buddy Ebsen spends most of his time on his new boat and when the studio wants him they have to dispatch a man to the dock who can holler “Ebert” good and loud.

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— Cohejuering Appetite and Greed- One of the difficult and at the sarrte time challenging things about teadhin'g the Word of God Is that its divine precepts are diametrically opposed to the current philosophy :>f men. In our lesson of last Week we saw that meekness and for bearance are strong and commend able qualities in a world which mag nifies brute force. Today we are tc study a portion of Scripture which shows the" folly of living for the flesh, and we are living in a world where the flesh and its appe- tlties are given full sway. Professors In many colleges are openly advocating the free exercise of every fleshly appetite as a nor mal expression of life. Morality Is cast off; the flesh rules. Many of the nations of the earth look upon boys and girls as merely so many physical units useful in a future war. Motherhood has been degrad ed" into an animal-like function, sole ly for the breeding of more man power. One nation recently advo cated as great an increase as pos sible in the birth of illegitimate children to be cared for by the state as a measure of national se curity: One shudders to mention su<i:h unspeakable wickedness, but even so we have only touched the surface. Is it true that man is but a beast? Is there no spirit in man capable of fellowship with God? Has the moral law of God been abrogated? The story of Esau and Jacob is most pointed and instructive in its an swer to such questions. Twu New Testament quotations have been chosen to express the truth of an Old Testament lesson; namely, Galatians 3:17, and 6:7. I. “The Flesh Lusteth Against the Spirit” (Gen. 25:27-34).' Esau Is a type of the man of the flesh. He was ‘‘a cunning hunt er, a man of the field.” Evidently he was an athletic, outdoor man of attractive personality, of free an4 easy-going spirit. He was a hail- fellow-well-met. Had he lived in our day he would have been featured in the rotogravure, would probably have been in the movies, would pos sibly have been a great athlete, and the good-looking boy who set hearts a-flutter at the country club dance. He came from the hunt, and he ha'd found nothing. He was hungry. What a type this is of the folly of seeking satisfaction in the world. It never satisfies. For all its glitter hnd glamour, it is empty and shal low. He had a birthright—a val uable possession in any case, but doubly so as a son of Abraham. But he was hungry, he would simply die if he did not eat. His brother Jacob, inspired by his scheming mother who was not willing tJ abide God’s time for the fulfillment of bis promise* had the savory pottage ready to tempt him and he sold his birthright for a “gulp of that red stuil,” for so might v. 30 be trans lated. One is reminded of a clergyman who attended the Keswick Confer ence In England. He sent a request for prayer to the platform and asked this question: “I have a habit which is dishonoring to Christ. II I give it up 1 will die. ' What shall I do?” The wise and complete an swer was one word—“Die.” Rather should we lose bur body and its de sires than to lose our soul. II. “Whatsoever a Man Soweth That Shall He Also Reap” (Gen. 27 •41-15). Jacob and his mother found that one lie called for another, and ul timately their deceit led (as deceit always does) to the place of reck oning. The law of sowing and reap ing is inexorable. Jacob fled from his angry brother. Rcbekah thought it would be for “a few days” (v. 44), but it proved to be twenty years, and she never saw her favorite son again. Let us make no mistake about it. Our sins will always find us out. Even God’s people must learn to walk uprightly before Him if they are to walk in peace.
