McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK. S. C.. THURSDAY. MAY 27, 1937 \ | STAR ! | DUST | * jMLovie • Radio $ ★ ★ ★★★By VIRGINIA VALE★★★ W HENEVER a crowd of actors, producers, direc tors, and writers get together in Hollywood, the most exciting arguments take place over questions that can never really be settled. Just the other night in the Brown Derby restaurant a group got to discussing who is the most talked-of man in pic tures just now and the argu ments grew so vehement, an in nocent bystander might sus pect that a riot was being planned. Instead, it was just a general tossing of verbal bou quets. Several people think Robert Mont gomery is the man of the hour. He recently pepped up his somewhat- wilting career by jumping from roles of society playboys to that of the maniac killer In “Night Must Fall.” Other nominations for the man of the hour were David Selznick, because he produced “A Star Is Bom,” and Darryl Zannuck because he has made his pictures stand for a guarantee of hilarious entertainment. —*— Not since the days of the Tal- madge sisters long ago, have film fans had the fun of watching sisters climb to fame a s screen rivals. Now everyone is arguing about the respective talents of Olivia de Haviland and Joan Fontaine. They are sisters, you know. And although Olivia had a big start, ap pearing in four Warner .Brothers pictures before Joan went to work at RKO, there are many who think that by this time next year, Joan will be well in the lead. Olivia de Haviland Mary Livingstone, who has played such a big part in the success of the Jack Benny radio programs, is thinking very seriously of taking part in a Paramount picture starring Buddy Rogers and Shirley Ross. It is a serious decision, because it en tails having an operation on her nose and Mary does not like hos pitals or ether or knives or inactivi ty or even breathing through her mouth. Innumerable fans have asked me if the impressive mansion and estate which Fredric March presents to Janet Gaynor in the course of the plot of “A Star Is Born” was es pecially built for the picture. Others think they recognize it as the house once occupied by Barbara Stanwyck, when she was married to Frank Fay. Neither theory is correct. The house belongs to a Los Angeles real estate dealer and was merely rented by the Selznick-Intemational com pany for two days. The enterprising young Grand Na tional company certainly stole a march on the rest of the studios when they signed Stu Erwin to a starring contract. Since that time “Dance, Charlie, Dance” which he made for Warner Brothers has been previewed and Stu has landed right up in the thin ranks of top-notch comedians. He has finished his. first picture for Grand National. It is called “Small Town Boy” and every one says it is a knockout. Ever since Myma Loy finished “Parnell,” she has been enjoying a lazy vacation at En senada, Mexico, where a gleaming, luxurious hotel shares scenic honors with the harbor which is said to be the most beautiful in the world — even more beautiful than the far-famed Bay of Naples. Her hus band, Arthur Horn- blow, got away from his duties at Para- Myrna Loy mount long enough to spend a week with her and was seized with the inspiration to write a picture set in the locale of Ensenada. Myrna hopes that she can stay on there while it is filmed but M-G-M have a crowded program ahead for her. ODDS AND ENDS—A little boy work ing on the set of M Varsity Show" at War- ner Brothers came down with measles, and the whole troupe headed by Dick Powell had to knock off work and watch for symptoms for two or three days . . . Errol Flynn brought two lion hounds back to Hollywood with him, the only ones of their breed in America, and now everyone is wondering what these sport ing dogs will do for amusement, hunt at the Universal zoo? . . .

I S3 IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I chool Lesson By REV. HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. Dean of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. © Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for May 30 THE REMAKING OF JACOB LESSON TEXT—Genesis 28:16-22. 32:24- 30. GOLDEN TEXT—And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind. Romans 12:2. PRIMARY TOPIC—Jacob's Great Discov ery. JUNIOR TOPIC—What Changed Jacob. • INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— Finding One’s Better Self. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— Face to Face With God. Front Page News! “Well-Known Crook Converted!” After years of deception, thievery, and all kinds of wickedness, Jacob, “the sup- planter,” had a transforming expe rience of the grace and power of God and became Israel—“ a prince of God.” That is indeed front-page news and the marvel of it all is that we may today proclaim the grace of God in Christ Jesus for the redemption of every one that be- lieveth. Memorial day is a most appropri ate one for our lesson, for the first portion tells us of a memorial stone, and the last section tells of a great victory. We do well on this day to remember the days that are gone, to recall the heroic deeds of our valiant dead. It is right that we should honor them for victories rightly won and for a noble cause. But let us not fail to recognize that the great battles of life are those fought in the realm of the spirit and that the victories won there endure for all eternity. Every teacher of a class in the Bible school should with God’s help endeavor to make this a day of blessed memory and victory in Christ for the boys and girls, or men and women of the class. We consider today two experi ences in the life of Jacob, both of which have their counterpart in the lives of many of God’s children in our day. I. A Vision and a Vow (Gen. 28: 16-22). Jacob met God. Have you met Him face to face? Have you had “such a revolutionary experience in some unexpected spot”? What a sacred place it has become in your life. Perhaps it was at mother’s knee, or in a little crossroad’s church, or on a busy city street. God was there—you dealt with him —he blessed your soul—life was changed. Such may be the experi ence of each one of us. The place where Jacob had this experience had been known only as Luz. Now it became Bethel—-“the house of God.” ' Spiritual experiences are not sim ply for our pleasure; they carry a real responsibility. Jacob rec ognized this and set up a memorial and made a vow. The depth of his purpose is revealed by the fact that it touched his earthly posses sions. The pledge of one-tenth to God is in accord with the Old Testament principle of the tithe. Many earnest believers regard the tithe as equally obligatory in our day. Others con tend that it is an Old Testament principle only. Well, there is no need to differ too sharply on that point, for is it not clear that as children of God all that we have be longs to Him? Surely then we would not wish shamefacedly to admit that we give less than the Old Testament tithe. All that we have comes from His bountiful hand. He it is that gives “bread to eat and raiment to put on.” Let us be cheerful (hilari ous) givers of what he has entrusted to us, that his work on earth may be put forward. II. A Struggle and a Victory (Gen. 32:24-3t’>. After varied experiences of both victory and defeat Jacob turns back to his own land. He hears of the ap proach of his brother Esau with 400 men. Before he meets him he spends a night alone. Whether it was in fear or in trust that he ap proached God on that night, we do not know. But we do read of the great struggle. It was more than a physical battle—real as that was— for here we have God wrestling with a weak and defeated, but proud man, seeking to bring him to the place where he will once for all “let go and let God” have his way with his life. Into the night of struggle at Peniel have gone God’s people in all the centuries, and lo, those who have submitted themselves to the mighty hand of God have come out as those that have “power with God and with men” (v. 28). Such an experience is the key to successful living and fruitful service for God. It is still true that “God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.” (Jas. 4:6). A Strong Arm Give me the pure heart, O Lord, to feel Thy presence near me. Give me the clear mind that understands. Give me the stainless soul that shall return to Thee fearless when my time shall come. And give me the strong arm to defend, with all my heart, with all my mind, with all my soul, the glor^iof Thy kingdom. Doing Right Do right and God’s recompense to you will be the power to do more right.

He came to the office one Sunday morn. No one was there. Picking up the Observer, his eye came across a dispatch announc ing the British fleet had arrived in the English channel with decks cleared for action. Thoroughly ex cited, he dragged the resident cor respondent from bed by phone. “My God,” he panted, “the Brit ish fleet is out and there’s no on® here. The Observer carries it.” “Say,” yawned the old-timer, “read that head again.” He did. It ran “From the Ob server of 1814.” Do something about Periodic Pains Take Cardul for functional pains of menstruation. Thousands of wom en testify It has helped them.
