She’s prepared to back one of her pet theories with coin of the realm right now, and John Garfield, James Cagney and Pat O’Brien are ready to string along with her. She believes that Hollywood could be made a theatrical cen-, ter, since there is all sorts of talent on the coast, and she and her partners are prepared to form ah organization for pro ducing plays—and also to act in them. Plays that succeed will be sent along to Broadway. —*— Olivia De Haviland hadn’t much more than settled her differences with Warner Brothers than she got into hot water again by refusing to work in “Flight 8,” and was sus pended again. Virginia Bruce was free, after cancellation of her Met ro contract, so you’ll see her as the heroine, opposite Ralph Bellamy. The lovely Olivia seems to know what she wants—the difficulty lies in getting it. * Metro is prepared to shoot the works and give the public a treat in “Boom Town”; Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy, Claudette Colbert and Hedy Lamarr will have the lead ing roles, Jack Conway will direct, and John Lee Mahin adapted the story for the screen. —*— If you’ve tried to get “Swiss Fam ily Robinson” at your local library lately you’ve probably been out of luck. Translated from the Swiss in 1820, the book is said still to be a best-seller, ranking second only to the Bible in gross sales. It had never been screened until RKO of fered it to the public, and the pic ture has made the book more popu lar than ever. —*— Small boys—and their fathers as well—are likely to want to camp out in the theaters showing RKO’s Pathe’s Sportscope reel on baseball. It features the tactics and tech nique of such experts as Gabby Hartnett, Dizzy Dean, Joe Moore, Merrill May, Joe Medwick, Arky Vaughan and Paul Derringer. It’s called “Pennant Chasers.” —*— It’s reunion on “Big Sister” for Alice Frost and Za- su Pitts. Alice broke into radio years ago by doing imperson ations of Zasn, as taught her by Miss Pitts, a friend of the family. Erin O’B r i e n Moore will appear as Empress Carlot- ta, the role created by Bette Davis on the screen, when she is heard on the Star Theater in “Juarez and Max- imillian’’ on March 13. Aherne will play Maximillian, as he did in the picture. —* Zasu Pitts Anyone who says a magpie bit him, in explanation of a gash under the eye, can’t expect to be believed —A1 Pearce can swear to that. He has an aviary in his yard, and among the birds is a magpie. Pearce was holding the btrd—which he calls Arlene Harris—and it snapped at him. That’s his story, and he’s sticking to it; but his gang, how ever, is enthusiastically giving him “the bird!” *— ODDS AND ENDS ...

PATRICK’S DAY IN THE MORNIN* (See Recipes Below) Some Ideas for a Party Shur-r-re an’ in the mer’ry month o’ Mar-rch, it’s St. Patrick’s day we’re thinkin’ of when we pass along these ideas for a party. Parties seem to move along more smoothly after a bit of fun—and fun it is to find an Irish Paddy’s Pig at your place at the table! Small Irish potatoes, scrubbed until they shine, make the fat bodies of the pigs. For the head, fasten a large round gum drop to one end of each potato, with a toothpick. Make the snout from a small gum drop pinched to the proper shape, and fasten it to the head with a toothpick. Insert whole cloves for “facial features.” Cut ears and a curly tail from jelly strings and fasten these in position with toothpicks too. Small gum drops, fastened to the body with toothpicks, make the legs. Nut cups which look like Paddy’s clay pipe, can be made from marsh mallows, green cellophane soda straws, and a bit of green ribbon. With a pair of sharp-pointed scis sors, hollow out the center of the marshmallow slightly, to form the bowl of the pipe. Tie a green rib bon (with a jaunty bow) around the pipe bowl, and insert a cellophane soda sipper low in one side, for the These two party menus are planned for St. Patrick’s day.

GETHSEMANE: TRIUMPH THROUGH SURRENDER LESSON TEXT—Matthew 26:36-40. GOLDEN TEXT—Not as I will, but •« thou wilt.—Matthew 26:39. Surrender brings victory. The world would say that our statement is not true; surrender is the mark of defeat. It is the final chapter in a story of struggle against impossible circumstances, against a stronger power, and final ly of giving up to accept the bitter sorrow of subjection and sometimes destruction. But again we say, the way of strength is through surren der, for we speak of the spiritual realm and of our relationship to God. Here there is no victory until there is surrender. In fact, the measure of victory is the degree of surrender. Full submission to Christ means complete triumph for the Christian. The Lord Jesus does not ask His disciples to walk a way which He has not trod Himself. He went the way of full surrender to the will of God in the garden of Gethsemane. We observe five things about this way of “triumph through surrender.” It was I. A Way of Sorrow (w. 37, 38). He was exceedingly sorrowful unto death. It was not an easy thing that the Saviour did as He fulfilled the will of God the Father in the garden. We know that no man ever sorrowed as He did on that day, for only He bore the sins of the world. There is, however, a lesson here for us who are His disciples. If this is the road the Master trod, should not His servants tread it still? The way of victory for us is through surrender. II. A Way of Self-Denial (w. 39, 42, 44). Self-denial does not consist in de priving one’s self of some little cher ished luxury. It means the denial of self, namely, that self-will is put aside and God’s will is supreme. It was no “easy thing for Jesus to carry out the Father’s will and to go to the cross. He was sub missive to that will; yet in this hour of anguish in the garden, when the unspeakable horror of what lay ahead almost overwhelmed His soul, it means much to say, ‘Not as I will but as thou wilt’ ” (Dr. B. L. Olmstead). It may be a hard thinff to do, but by His grace we too may say, “Thy will be done.” HI. A Way of Loneliness (w. 38, 37, 40, 41, 43). There were three disciples with Him as He entered the garden, and their very presence reminds us how very much alone Jesus actually was. There were twelve with Him in the upper room, but one went out into the darkness to betray Him. Eleven came with Him to the gate of the garden, but only three came into the garden with Him. Even they could not go all the way with Him. He prayed and agonized alone, and the three who were near at hand failed Him and slept through the dark hour when He most needed their fellowship in sympathy and prayer. Alone? If the Master had to walk the way of surrender alone, let no Christian expect that it> will be otherwise for him. Let us thank God for every blessing of true fel lowship, but let us not be surprised if we are often called to walk alone —with God. IV. A Way of Betrayal (w. 45, 46). “He is at hand who doth betray me” “into the hands of sinners.” One feels that the cup of the Master is already overfull without adding betrayal by one of His own, but there it is, a dark and tragic reality. Note with what peace and assurance Jesus goes to meet it. The victory has already been won in prayer, in communion with the Father, and in submission to His will. No one of us will ever know such a betrayal as that of our Lord, but we do face similar crises as we go on in a life of devotion to God’s will. We do well to remember the experience of Christ that we be not overwhelmed by the treachery of men and that we prepare ourselves to meet it with the power and grace of our God. V. A Way of Divine Fellowship and Blessing (vv. 39, 42). The way of surrender is a glorious and delightful way to go. But, some one may ask, have we not been talking of sorrow, self-denial, loneliness and betrayal? Yes, but even these things may become the means of blessing if God is in them. Though no man stood by our Lord in His experience in Gethsemane, the Father was there. Jesus talked with Him, prayed to Him, trusted Him, yielded fully to His will, and the result was peace and blessing. We read in Luke 22:43 that an angel also came and strengthened Him.
