THE SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1940 Star Dust ★ Out of Trick Costumes ★ I\ew York Looming? ★ Vaudevillists , Chance By Virginia Vale (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) ■DLONDE CAROLE LANDIS A-J is reporting on the set at the Hal Roach studios these days in a costume of smartly- tailored, abbreviated animal skins, and is praying that some smart Hollywood word-coiner won’t give her a suitable label, like “The Prehistoric Peach” or “The Stone Age Siren.” She is playing the role of “Loana, the Golden One” in “1000000 B. C.,” the picture of cave man days which Hal Roach is directing and D. W. Griffith is producing. “I’m studying English, French and Italian, remarked Carole the other day. “And I’ve studied voice for years. I sang with orchestras before I entered motion pictures. Honest ly, I can do a few other things be sides wearing a skimpy fur cos tume. This pic ture is a lot of fun and I’m tickled that I got the role. But after it’s over I want people to sort of forget that I was the girl in the animal skins.” She’s right. Motion picture his tory shows that, once an actress ac quires fame by cavorting around clad in a trick costume, the impres sion gets about that she’d be lost in something snappy in evening gowns. Take Dorothy Lamour, for instance. Getting out of that sarong in which she became famous on the screen is like extricating one’s self from a straitjacket. Hollywood has laughed at Mayor LaGuardia, of New York, for urging that the motion picture industry be transported bodily to New York. But recently Ernst Lubitsch, who di rected Garbo in “Ninotchka,” and William Dieterle, who directed Marlene Dietrich in “Destry Rides Again,” called on the mayor and had a long talk with him. Not long before that, King Vidor, equally well known as a director, had a long visit with him. All insisted that the calls were just social, but it seems likely that there has been some dis cussion about bringing the movies back where they came from. * Chester Lauck and Norris Goff, better known as Lum and Abner of the air waves, have signed up to star in a picture that will be re leased by RKO. * Rudy Vallee’s new air show will make its debut March 7, via the NBC red network, but it has not yet been determined whether it will precede or follow Bing Crosby’s “Music Hall.” The preceding half hour will be open, as “Good News” will be cut in half by that time, and the sponsor of the “Music Hall” will be the one to make the final decision, since the Vallee program will be backed by the same organization. * Rudy Vallee Carole Landis Don Kelley, publicity and promo tion director at Station WLS, Chi cago, recently sent a “singing tele gram” to George Biggar, now at WLW, on his birthday. A girl at the telegraph office in Cincinnati sang “Happy Birthday” to Biggar over the wire, and was promptly invited to audition for a radio job. Famed vaudeville artists of other years, who have practically disap peared from the American scene be cause of the onrush of the movies and radio, will be given an oppor tunity to entertain a greater public than they ever dreamed of. A1 Pearce, air-wave master of cere monies and comedian, has inaugu rated a policy of presenting to the radio audiences each week a dif ferent vaudeville personality as a feature of the “A1 Pearce and His Gang” broadcast. The guest artist will present his particular specialty as a distinct part of the half-hour program. ^ Concerned over the marital trou bles of Eve Stanley in “When a Girl Marries” (played by Irene Winston), a young Oklahoman sent her a pro posal, offering her a home and a husband’s protection on his farm. Hedy Lamarr, looking very lovely, arrived in New York with her hus band, Gene Markey, about the time that pleasant news came along about “I Take This Woman,” which caused so much news that wasn’t pleasant. Spencer Tracy co-starred with her in it, and it was shelved last June, unfinished. Miss Lamarr refused to go on with it, because she wanted more money. She finally finished the picture—at the old salary—and now that it is satisfactory, rumor reports that she’ll eret that salary raise Household Nous %i Mard. Favorite Foods in Lent It takes a bit of planning to pro duce meatless meals that please the family because we’re so accustomed to the meal that’s built around sub stantial roasts, or chops, or steaks. But fish, eggs, milk, cheese, beans, peas and nuts, are excellent protein or body-building foods that should be substituted now and then for meat. Their uses are many and with judicious planning they add in terest and variety to meals. Fish and eggs occupy an impor tant place in meatless meals; less commonly used, but inexpensive and good, are cheese, nuts, peas and beans. Cheese is a concentrated food which gives good returns for the money spent on it; because it is an excellent body-building food and is rich in mineral salts, and because its flavor combines well with that of other foods, it should be more widely used. A little cheese goes a long way when combined with cereal products such as rice or macaroni. Nuts are apt to be considered a mere accompaniment to a meal, or something to be nibbled on “be tween meals,” but wisely used, they’re an acceptable substitute for meat. Vegetable plates are popular for meatless meals. Where they include peas or beans or eggs (which might be hard cooked, sliced and creamed) they provide a satisfying and “bal anced” meal. Banana Scallops are an unusual addition to a vegetable dinner—hearty and delicious, and easy to prepare. Lenten Feast.

Parchment Paper Keeps Fish in Shape in Pan Broiled fish is difficult to remove from the broiler without breaking— just as it is in a frying pan. A piece of parchment paper cut just the shape of the fish, may be greased and placed under each slice of fish. It will not be necessary to turn the fish, as it will broil all the way through. Then the parchment may be removed upon serving. Time Saver Put snap fasteners on cushion tops instead of sewing openings together. It will save much time. When soiled, unclasp the snaps, slip tops off and launder. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I chool Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D. Dean of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for February 11 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se- /ected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. THE PERILS OF REJECTING CHRIST LESSON TEXT—Matthew 21:28-43. GOLDEN TEXT—I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.—John 14:<S- Fearlessly facing crucifixion with in a few days, Jesus stood in the temple, there facing His bitter ene mies and replying to their attacks in words such as no man ever spake. He brought them face to face with the very essence of sin, wnich is the rejection of Christ. Their own words condemned them, but when they should have repented, they became embittered and hard ened in their sin. Let no one who reads these lines follow their ex ample, but if the Holy Spirit brings conviction, turn to Him in repent ance and faith. Every Sunday School lesson is of great importance, but possibly no lesson we shall ever have to teach will be as important as this one, for it deals very plainly with the awful peril of rejecting Christ. Eter nal destiny depends upon the choices made in response to this lesson. Let every one of us study it and teach it with solemn earnestness. I. Actions Speak Louder Than Words (vv. 28-32). All church members, who have come into that relationship by smoothly spoken words of accept ance and devotion to Christ which then have not been lived out in the daily walk, may see themselves pic tured in the son who courteously and glibly assured his father that he could depend on him, and then promptly went his own way. They will see that they need to repent and substitute real heart-moving and life-changing action for their words, lest the harlots and publicans pass them and go into heaven be fore them. Professing church mem ber without any evidence of God’s power in your life, turn to Him now! Note the word of encouragement to repentant sinners. Perhaps some one who reads this paragraph has at some time rejected Christ and has since thought that he could not turn back, that it was too late for him to do the thing which his heart tells him to do even though his lips have spoken unkind words of rejec tion. Friend, consider the one who said, “I will not,” but who did his father’s will. Come to the Saviour now; you will find Him ready to receive you. II. Selfish Unbelief Results in Christ-Rejection (vv. 33-41). This parable clearly relates to the Israelites who had rejected the prophets sent to them by God and who were now about to kill His Son. The heartbreaking story of Is rael’s unbelief and rejection of Christ and the judgment which has been upon them all the years since then, is not something over which we should gloat, but rather some thing which should move us to tears and prayer for our Jewish friends. After all, are we any better than they? Are not the appalling ma jority of Gentiles walking in that same road of selfish unbelief which leads inevitably to the rejection of Christ? No man or woman can go on self ishly taking the benefits of God, us ing them for self advantage or com fort, turning a deaf ear to the cries of God’s messengers, and hope to have any ultimate result other than Christ-rejection. It is high time that thoughtless people who perhaps have no deliberate intention to be wicked or to turn Christ away, should awak en to the fact that they are doing just that by their manner of living. III. Rejection of Christ Does Not Defeat God (w. 42, 43). At first glance one wonders why Christ at this point turned so abrupt ly from the figure of the vineyard to that of the cornerstone. “The rea son why He leaves for a moment the image of the vineyard, is because of its inadequacy to set forth one important part of the truth which was needful to make the moral com plete, namely this, that the malice of the Pharisees should not defeat the purpose of God—that the Son should yet be the heir—that not merely vengeance should be taken, but that He should take it. Now this is distinctly set forth by the re jected stone becoming the head of the corner, on which the builders stumbled and fell, and were broken —on which they were now already stumbling and falling, and which, if they set themselves against it to the end, would fall upon them and crush and destroy them utterly” (Trench). God was not defeated by the cruci fixion of Christ. Christ will not be defeated simply because men reject Him in the world. We who are on His side, we who are the followers of the Lord are on the victorious side. Those who oppose Him and speak ill of His name may appear to be victors for the moment, but the judgment of God is yet to come upon them. HCW t 9. sew 4^- Ruth Wyeth Spears Piece a border for kitchen curtains. r\ O YOU remember, this old- fashioned Saw Tooth quilt pat tern? It has been used for the border of many a handsome quilt. It is so effective and so simple to piece that it should serve more decorative purposes. Here it trims kitchen curtains of unbleached muslin. It surprises one a little to see how modern it looks. Cut a piece of stiff paper in a perfect square and then cut diagonally through the center. One half will make your triangle pattern. The size suggested in the sketch makes a very striking border. If a very strong, bright color is used for the plain triangles, a narrower border in this design will also make a good showing. NOTE: Mrs. Spears has pre pared for our readers a set of three Quilt Block Patterns from her favorite Early American de- AROUND y THE HOUSE One pound of loaf sugar is suf ficient for serving 25 persons. • * * Preparing Starch.—To give a glossy finish, use soapy water in preparing starch for laundry. • • * Chewing gum can be removed from washable material by soften ing the gum with egg white, then washing. * • • Look over dahlia bulbs stored away for the winter.

Such heating is especially advisable in the winter time when nuts are like ly to be stale. • • • Garnishes.—Thin slices of lem ons, oranges, limes or grapefruit, sprinkled with sugar and broiled 10 minutes, make effective and tasty garnishes for roasts or fowls. Red or green jelly, dotted on top of the slices, gives added color and flavor. • • • Cooking Apples.—Apples are over 80 per cent water, thus in cooking them only enough water should be used to prevent them from scorching or sticking to the pan. signs. Included in the set is the Kaleidoscope, and the Whirlwind. The third is the Ann Rutledge, which Mrs. Spears sketched from an original in the Rutledge Tav ern at New Salem, 111., where Abe Lincoln boarded, and where he courted the proprietor’s daughter, according to the romantic legend so familiar to movie goers. It is an unusual variation of the Nine- patch, and rich with historical background. For set of three com plete patterns, send 10 cents in coin to Mrs. Spears, Drawer 10, Bedford Hills, New York.
