★★★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.

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? . . . Jean Arthur
just cannot fix her own hair, so when
the studio hairdressers went out on strike,
her director, Mitchell Leisen, hrranged her
locks for her, and very well too . . .

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.

‘‘Live Wire” Attempted
to Work Over Old Crisis
During the early days of the
World war the New York Sun sent
over a “live wire” to its London
office. 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.”

Stomach Gas
So Bad Seems
To Hurt Heart
"The gas on my stomach was so bad
I could not eat or sleep. Even my
heart seemed to hurt. A friend sug
gested Adlerika. The first dose I took
brought me relief. Now I eat at I
wish, sleep fine and never felt better.*
—Mrs. Jas. Filler.
Adlerika acts on BOTH upper and
lower bowels while ordinary laxatives
act on the lower bowel only. Adlerika
gives your system a thorough cleans
ing, bringing out old, poisonous matter
that you would not believe was in your
system and that has been causing gas
pains, sour stomach, nervousness and
headaches for months.
Dr, It. Li Shoub, Nets York, reportst
“In addition to Intestinal cleansing, ddlarlktt
greatly reduces bacteria and colon bacilli,’*
Give your bowels a REAL cleansing
with Adlerika and see how good you
feel. Just one spoonful relieves GAS
and stubborn constipation. At all
