THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. By VIRGINIA VALE Released by Western Newspaper Union, T HOUGH Rise (pronounced Ree-suh) Stevens has sung five seasons with the Metro politan Opera company, radio can claim her in a way; she made her first public appear ance as a singer on the “Sunday Morning Children’s Hour,” pro duced by Milton Cross. In 1935 she was a semi-finalist in the Metropoli tan Opera Auditions of the Air, was offered a contract—and refused; felt that she wasn’t ready for it. Para mount signed her for “The Count of Luxembourg”; when it was delayed, she was asked to appear opposite RISE STEVENS Bing Crosby in "Going My Way?”, in which she sings several operatic arias. Describing her, people say: “Really, she’s not a bit like an opera star!” * When Johnny Longden, the jockey Who rode Count Fleet to victory in the Kentucky Derby, visited the set of United Artists’ “The Hairy Ape,” he brought along a good luck token. To William Bendix, the male star, and Alfred Santell, director, he gave the shoes the great horse wore in the race, as a lucky piece on the opening stretch of their shooting. * J. Carroll Naish saved a marine’s fife the other day on the screen. Naish is in “Gang Ho!”, Universal’s film based on the book written by Capt. W. S. LeFrancois, USMC. The script writers had the captain die in their version of the story, instead of being wounded and decorated, as happened in real life. Bnt Naish played the captain so brilliantly that the script was revised. —*— Gary Cooper, who rose to film fame as a strong, silent man, sings on the screen for the first time in “The Story of Dr. Wassell.” The song, “Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition,” was spotted by C. B. DeMille for the picture on publication. * The new Sinatra picture has no title so far, but it’s under way; George Murphy, Adolphe Menjou and Gloria De Haven have been signed for it by RKO; Wally Brown and Alan Carney, comedy team, will appear as stooges to Murphy. —*— Eleanor Powell’s dancing partner for the grand finale of “Sensations of 1944” recently arrived in Holly wood; she’s “Starless Night,” is five years old, and is rated by her owner, Capt. William Heyer, as the finest dancing horse he’s ever trained. —*— Virginia O’Brien, noted for her “dead-pan” portrayals, will change her screen personality in her new picture, “Dear Barbara,” which MGM is producing with Susan Peters in the lead. In the picture Frank Morgan will play a character similar to that of his telegrapher in “The Human Comedy,” which won him praise from the critics. Jimmy Durante and Margaret O’Brien also have important roles. * Dennis Day, singing star of Jack Benny’s radio show, has been signed by RKO to a contract calling for his appearance in two films yearly. While still unknown. Day followed Kenny Baker as the singer on the Benny program, and almost over night became a top attraction. Act ing roles on the air show helped him along, and first thing he knew he was in pictures. * The latest “March of Time,” ex clusive film material which reached America on the last plane out of Sweden before air travel there was suspended, shows how the Swedish people, living in precarious peace, are meeting the pressure of Nazi threats with growing defiance. * ODDS AND ENDS—There’t a rumor that Greta Garbo’s next picture will team her with Charles Boyer for Universal . . . Ginny Simms has mailed Valentine cards to servicemen who have appeared on her program ... The role of Stanley, the cigar- store proprietor on the Burns and Allen show, is played by Bill Wright, who co- starred with Al Pearce for years in the “Eb end Zeb” comedy series . . . Don Ameche, too busy in pictures to follow the “Whats New” show to New York, acted as master of ceremonies at a feast at a Holly- soood restaurant for his three young sons, Benny, Tommy and Lonny . . . Loretta Yeung eats six meals daily to gain weight. Now’s the Time to 6 Go Places’ In a Stunning Woolknit Suit By CHERIE NICHOLAS 'T'HAT good-looking suit you are planning to buy — before you make your final selection it is well worth while to look up what’s doing in way of the now-so-fashionable woolknits. Are the spring 1944 knit models beauties! Take a glance at the trio of woolknit fashions pic tured and judge for yourself. Seen in the original, these three costumes are simply breathtaking in way of color, styling detail and figure-flat tering silhouette. The grand thing to know about the winsome little woolknit suits so con spicuously present in midseason and spring apparel showings is that the modem versiops sag not, bag not and they neither bulge nor pull out of shape. Then too, their produc tion has been brought up to such point of perfection that it takes an expert to distinguish them from woven fabric. They are, however, really knitted, which endows them with particular qualities that make them comfortable for work or play, and at the same time they are too smart-looking for words. Town or country, traveling or wherever it goes in any clime in the U. S. A., the little woolknit suit will fill the bill. Then too, put to the test, it will be found so accom modatingly year-round in its serv ice. Whatever the time and occa sion, women are turning more and more to knit fashions as the answer to their “what-to-wear” problems. The fact that knitted clothes pack so easily is also greatly in their favor. No S.O.S. rush to get your little non - wrinkle suit or dress pressed when you arrive at your destination. Just a little shaking out and presto, it is ready to wear in- stanter. As to the models illustrated, that eye-appealing suit shown to the left is a striped tweed knit fabric in green with frosty white stripes, the freshness of its coloring breathing the breath of spring. The jacket has a convertible shirt collar and three patch pockets. The brown felt hat and the wooden bead-and-plastic necklace and bracelet worn with it contribute a touch of ultimate chic. Centered in the group is a most attractive hundred per cent wool knit suit that has a jacket that re lays the message of the importance of pastel colorings, in this instance being a combination of delectable pink, green and beige for the jac quard check. The skirt is of match ing green and the hat is made of the same fabric. A classic two-piece suit is beau tifully tailored of nottingham nub, a woolknit fabric. This is hi plum (important color news for spring) with pastel petit point plaid. The hat that complements this suit is of gray suede contrasted with a plum- color facing. With costume jewelry carefully tuned to the color scheme together with gloves to blend, this is a costume that will go vainglori- ously right through 7 midseasoh and spring. For dining out the new fashion collections display beaded black wool suits that have a gala air about them. Some are beaded in jet, oth ers have sequin-worked pockets and lapels, with sequin-covered half-ball buttons. Released by Western Newspaper Union. Pastel Jersey Colorful wools, especially in lovely pastel tones, will be coming out in full force from now on. To wear under winter furs girls are choosing young-at-heart pastel wool jersey dresses made up simply, as is this model. The latest move is to trim these pastel jerseys with narrow banding done in gay peasant color ing and design. Resourceful young folks are buying this banding by the yard with a view to adding a new trimming touch to the simnle little frocks they have been wearing. It’s a Picturesque Skirt-Blouse Season When we go casually about in our simple little cotton frocks we are going to look strikingly a la Mexican senorita in the days to come. It seems that Mexico has inspired de signers to make up gay cottons in new and picturesque ways. This is especially true in regard to the low- cut drawstring-neck cotton blouses that are having such wide accept ance in town and country fashion circles. The shirtwaist blouse and dirndl skirt is a good “at-home” morning fashion, and to give it a Mexican dash, girdle your waistline with a gypsylike scarf, or a wide jeweled belt. With your plaid slacks wear a peon waist that has a strip of embroidered red banding run ning along each side of the front closing. Band the sleeves with the same gay embroidery. New Millinery Showings Feature Sailors, Cloches In the advance millinery showings, both little sailors and those broad of brim have a prominent place. These are of felt or of fabric, nota bly taffeta or faille. However, the news that is causing most excite ment is the revival of the ever- becoming cloche. Watch for the new cloches, your milliner will be showing them in felts that are cun ningly trimmed in felt cutout flow ers. Many have the side face-fram ing flares pleated and folded in in triguing ways. Roses on New Prints The flower of the moment in fash ion’s realm is the rose. It is seen blooming in realistic colors for the new prints. With the new low-neck black frocks the fashion-correcl flower to wear is the single large rose. The loveliest handkerchiefs flaunt a single lovely rose in their patterning. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I chool Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D. Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. Released by Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for February 13 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education: used by permission. JESUS ON THE MOUNTAIN AND IN THE VALLEY LESSON TEXT—Mark 9:2-8, 17-27. GOLDEN TEXT—I believe; help thou mine unbelief.—Mark 9:24. The vision of the mountain top prepares the believer for service down in the valley. “Where there is no vision the people perish,” said the wise man of old (Prov. 29:18). For want of a true vision of God, a knowledge of His truth, and the God- given constraint which makes men give themselves in sacrificial serv ice, the people will perish in their sins. But let men come to know the truth as it is in Christ, learn to know Him as the Son of God glorious and powerful, and then let them translate their knowledge of Chris tian truth and their personal spiritu al experiences into the daily minis- tiy to the needs of their fellow men, and there will be songs of salvation and joy. I. Knowing 2-7). The transfiguration of Christ doubtless meant much to Him in preparation for His coming death and resurrection. It was a fore gleam of His kingdom glory. In this lesson we are concerned wi*h the experience of the disciples rather than the feelings of our Lord. Fundamental in both Christian life and service is a clear understanding of the person and work of Christ. One may come to Christ knowing little more than that He is the di vine Saviour, and one may enter into Christian living with a meager knowledge of the doctrines of the Bible. But the Christian who fails to grow in knowledge will not grow in grace as he should. God sets no premium on igno rance, in fact it is quite evident that the great blight on the Christian church today is the appalling lack of understanding of God’s Word. The disciples came to a fuller con viction that He was the Son of God as they saw Him transfigured and heard the Father say, “This is my beloved Son.” They learned more plainly the truth of His coming death for the sins of all mankind. They saw in the indescribable beauty of th^t moment the foregleam of His coming glory. What important truths these are—His deity—His redemp tion—His coming kingship. Do we have a clear grasp cf these truths? If not, let us search the Scriptures. H. Growing (v. 8). “Jesus only.” He filled their vision and their hearts. They had made spiritual progress as they had seen His glory and heard the com mending voice of the Father. Great experiences of spiritual re newing and power are necessary to effective life and testimony. They may not be in outward manifesta tion, in fact they are more often in the inner recesses of the soul; but they transform men and send them forth to magnificent living for God. One wonders if much of the dearth of power in the Christian church is not to be attributed directly to the ladk of such experiences with God. The disciples had an unforgettable mountaintop experience. Even so have many others found the secret of power. Let us remember that such privi leges are not reserved for a few, they are the birthright of every Christian. Power without knowledge is a dangerous and destructive thing, but knowledge without power is a dead thing. Let us study God’s Word, but let the truth be baptized in the over flowing spiritual power of a personal experience with God. In regeneration all .that Christ is and has for us is made available. If we have not taken out our inheri tance let us do it at once. III. Serving (w. 17-27). One of the lessons that seems hard to learn end to keep constantly ef fective in the life of a Christian is that mountaintop experiences of spiritual uplift are not an end in themselves, but a preparation for service. All too often we come to regard such times of peculiar bless ing, whether in the privacy of our own room or in the great confer ence of Christian workers, as some thing which should glow warmly in our own hearts, making us glad in the Lord, and not as a preparation for ministry to others. Jesus and the disciples went op to the place of prayer, into the place of glory, and down to the place of service. How fitting is that se quence. Much confusion exists in the church because those who have fool ishly abandoned God’s Word and substituted the energy of the flesh for spiritual power have been most diligent in service to humanity; while those who know and accept the truth about Christ, and who pro fess to believe in the power of the Spirit-filled life, have failed to serve their needy neighbors. “But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up” (v. 27). Verses 28 and 29 indicate that the disciples might have done the same by be lieving prayer. PATTERNS SEWING fi|| CIRCLE Hip-Concealing.
