★ ★★By VIRGINIA VALE*^
B itterly aoes Miriam Hop-
^ Tons regret the day last
year when she told an inter-
vievyer that her judgment on
screen stories for herself w r as
infallibly bad. 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.

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.

James Stewart is so worried for

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.

are
you going out
again? My own mother
has become a gadabout
and all because she
made herself such a pretty new
dress. Really, Ma, those soft
graceful lines make you look lofs
slimmer. I think the long rippling
collar has a good deal to do with
It. Or maybe h’s because the skirt
fits where it should and has plenty
of room at the bottom.”
“Yes, My Darling Daughter.”
“Daughter, dear, how you do

apron on and have the dusting
done when I get back from the

Is the cleverest one Sis ever had.
I love the way it crosses in the
back.”
“So do I, Mom, and see how it
cpvers'up my dress all over. Good-
by, Mom, have a good time/'
Sisterly Chit Chat.
“Sis, run upstairs for my apron,
won’t you? I wouldn't have a spot
on this, my beloved model, for
all the world. It's my idea of

these here new puffed sleeves;

“Just you Wait, Miss, till I grow

And so on well into the after
