STATE

One of the finest double feature entertainments ever brought to town make up the current show at Warner Brothers State theateF.
 Headlining the program is "Dia- mand Jim, a page from the life of Diamond Jim" Brady, toast of Broadways great white way in the gay nineties. Edward Arnold has the leading role and turns in the most brilliant performance seen on a local screen this year. He is giv- en capable support by Binnie Barnes and Jean Arthur. See Diamond Jim, it's picture old timers will revel in and moderns as well enjoy.
 The companion feature is Per sonal Maids Secret" with Margaret Lindsay, Warren Hull, Anita Lou ise and Ruth Donnelly. Ruth plays the part of an intimate con- tidante of debutantes and spills the laughing low-down on society's upper-crust.
 Saturday brings another giant double feature program headlined by "The Dark Angel" starring Frederic March, Merle Oberon and Herbert Marshall.
 This powerful and beautiful love story, set in lovely, quiet corner of rural England, reflects the hearts of a woman and two men one of whom she loves, while the other loves her.
 The companion feature, "Twc Fisted", heralds the return to the screen of the popular Lee Tracy.

Parish Chronicles
 To Help Historians
Catholic Church Record Being Prepared in United States for Amateur Writers Getting Material Task

Washington, D. .C.-The prepare tion of the parish chronicles as basis for the history of Catholicism in the United States, and an outline of a convenient method to aid the mateur parish historian isexplained at length by the Rt. Rev. Monsignor Peter Guilday, Ph. D., IL. D., J. U. D., professor of American church history at the Catholic University of American in Washington, D. C., in an article on "The Writing of Parish Histories" in recent issue of the Ecclesiastical Review.
 After examining hundreds of par ish histories, Dr. Guilday has found that, for the most part, they leave much to be desired. With few ex- captions" he writes, "this historical Cor literary activity is almost worthless for the diocesan or nation al historian" He attributes their de- ficiency to haste, lack of method, and the inclusion of material from doubtful sources, and as a remedy proposes a definite plan of action.
 A parish history, Dr. Guilday writes, should be the record of a spiritual institution and not a more description of a society of men and women who happen to be Catholics. It is not the financial support, the births, deaths, and marriages that are of primary importance, but the devotion of the people, their charity. their frequentation of the sacra- ments, and their spiritual life. Tt is," state the noted c. U. professor, the visible and invisible action of the Holy Spirit on the hearts of the people" Because of fhis,. no one but the priest should write the history, flor no one else should be allowed to enter this sanctuary of the story of Gods action on the hearts of His people"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-10-17

Gathering material is of first 1m- portance, and in this, no possible source should be overlooked. Ques- tionnairs to parishioners, indices to historical publications, Catholic historical societies, Catholic news papers-even the biographies of bishops have their part in this work. Nor should purely secular histories be neglected. Dr. Guilday warns against the treating of the parish as a segregated unit, rather than as a part of the town or city and of the church in the United States. Knowl- edge of their history is essential, he says, unless the historian is to pre- sent a "truncated chronicle of hi parish or a mere terse of the past" In the matter of oral tradition, care should be taken to check each fact with the accounts of as many per- sons as possible until the actual truth is ascertained.
 When the facts have been ainass- ed, the composition of the parish history is comparatively easy. Ten, fifty, a hundred times these facts should be mulled over, until grad ually the high points of the story emerge from the mass of data col- lected, plan gradually evolves, di- visions present themselves, and give symetry to the mosaic of the work, cause and effect are better under stood, in an indefinable way the chain that binds the facts together becomes visible, and the whole mov- imento of parish life and action be- gins to shape up in true prospec- tive, while the writer gains more and more confidence that he is able at last to describe things as they &C., tually were at that time" When this point is reached, the history may be written in clear style, with proper care and discretion.
 Dr. Guilday supplements his ar- ticle with reprints of questionnaires that were sent out in some parishes, and with advice on the printing of the history and the preservation of records for the future historian.
