Few visitors to the old mission in Santa Barbara, Calif., know
that the friars who wear the cowled brown robes of the order of
St. Francis of Assisi, are not merely part of the atmosphere, but
actually perform numerous tasks for the Church. Here tare teach
ers, students and artisans, like Brother Panphinus Schmits (above),
who is shown binding books.
He also manufactures shoes
and clothing, helping make
this Christian socialism one of
the happiest states of existence
in the world.

Daily routine of life begins at 4:40 a. m. and lasts until 9:15
p. m., with but a half hour off for meals, during which absolute
tilence is maintained. This schedule is much the same as when the
mission was founded. Above are students preparing for the min
istry, extending an advanced theology class. Many lectures and
date-discussions are in Latin.

★ Themes From News
★ G-Man in Nursery
★ Sabu Transformed
By Virginia Vale
I F YOU’RE interested in writ
ing—or learning to write—
for the movies, take a tip from
Hal Roach, who certainly ought
to know what he is talking
about.
He recently conducted a survey,
as a result of which he announces
that 72 per cent of the themes of
current films have been taken di
rectly from newspaper clippings.
Here is his report: General news
(including aviation, maritime disas
ters, divorce court proceedings, de
pression stories and natural catas
trophes) 46 per cent; crime news,
9 per cent; letters to editor, 4 per
cent; love-lorn columns, 3 per cent;
editorial columns, 2 per cent; sports,
2 per cent; comic strips, 1 per cent.
Mr. Roach, at present, is filming
a story called “There Goes My
Heart/’ which concerns an heiress,
(played by Virginia Bruce) who
VIRGINIA BRUCE
runs away from the Riviera in her
grandfather’s yacht, arrives in this
country and goes to work in her
own department store; Fredric
March is the reporter assigned to
cover her story.
Here yon have, says Mr. Roach, a
romantic comedy, not a straight
drama, and it combines general
news, society news and lovelorn col
umn material. Better study it with
that in mind, if you’re interested in
seeing how film stories are put to
gether.

Remember Corinne Griffith, you
old-timers? Not that your memo
ries need go so very far back;
it’s not so long since she was a pop
ular star. Corinne is one of the few
really happy retired stars. Her hus
band, George Marshall, owns one
of the big professional football
teams, and he and she travel with
the team during the season.
And she has those two little girls
whom she adopted a few years ago,
taking them from an orphan asylum,
and taking two when she’d meant
to adopt just one because they were
sisters. Needless to say, she’s
bringing them up beautifully—or
thought she was, until she discov
ered that their favorite game is “G-
man”; that, when left to themselves,
they make the nursery ring with
“You ' won’t talk, then—you rat!
Take that—and that!”
&—
Another young devotee of gang
ster life is Sabu; remember him in
“The Elephant Boy”? This young
Indian arrived in New York from
London for the opening of his latest
picture, “Drums,” the new Alexan
der Korda release. When Robert
Flaherty discovered him in India,
while searching for a youngster to
play the title role in “Elephant
Boy,” he was just one more young
Indian, an orphan, poor; you should
see him now!
He loves American slang, which
he picked up from the Hollywood
technicians in the English movie
studio where he worked. And he is
wild about the movies, especially
American gangster pictures. His
enthusiasm also includes war films
and any method of traveling fast,
particularly planes. And three years
ago he was riding elephants and
liking it!
*
Seth Parker, with “Ma” and their
Jonesport neighbors, is back on the
air on Sunday evenings; people all
over the country feel as if old
friends had returned to them. Phil
lips Lord, who is “Seth,” plans to re
vive many of his first successes—
the old-fashioned singing school
among them. And, of course, there
are the Sunday night gatherings in
which the Parkers and the neigh
bors sing hymns.
*
Fathers all over the country are
turning the radio on late in the after
noons so that their sons can listen
to “Dick Tracy”—and not admitting
that they did it because they want
ed to listen themselves. For “Dick”
has returned to the air, more
energetic than ever in his battle
against criminal activities.
*
ODDS AND ENDS—When Fred War
ing finished making “Varsity Show” in
Hollywood with his band and returned
east he had practically no band left; his
singers (Priscilla and Rosemary Lane),
his arranger and his hot trumpet, Johnny
“Scat” Davis, had abandoned him for
movie-making, and others just dropped
out on the way home . . . Bert Lahr is
spending his spare time trying to look like
a lion; has to play the Cowardly Lion in
“The Wizard of Oz” without benefit of
animal skins or heavy make-up.

It Must Be Admitted
Waiter Was Not Tactful
The customer was raging and
fuming as the manager came up.
“What is the matter, sir?”
asked the manager.
“Discharge that waiter at
once!” demanded the diner.
Regarding the boiled egg which
had been served, the manager
said:
“I’m very sorry about this egg,
sir, but I can’t discharge the wait
er for that. After all, he wasn’t
to know *hat there was a chicken
in it.”
“Perhaps not,” snapped the
customer. “But when I told him
there was, he needn’t have taken
away my spoon and brought me a
knife and fork.”

'Hill-Climbing' Boats
A unique steamship service op

of the trip is made on a canal and

them over four long hills. These

Most anyone will agree that it
is wise to use only the very best
