Those GiVinq
Full Credit

Credit where credit is due
and so, belatedly, / acknowl'
edge Thomas Armat, Wash
ington scientist, is really the
father of the motion picture,
although Thomas A. Edison
arranged the first public ex-
hibition at Roster and Bal s
Music Hall in New York on
April %, 1896.
Now living at Greystone,
Klingle Road, in Northwest
Washington, Mr.. Armat, is, as
Terry Ramsaye, of Motion
Picture Herald says: Far too
genteel and successful to make
a Sunday supplement hero, al
though he devised his Vita
scope on kaleidoscope begin
nings, setting the world stand
ard in projection and with his
Herald Square opening, just
40 years ago, instrumenting a
world industry"
Terry Ramsaye is the acknoWl'
edged historian of the motion pic
ture industry, having written sew
eral volumes tracing the tncKerlnS
screen art from its inception. So
I accept him as an authority when
he says:
"To Thomas Armat the world
owes the intermittent movement
that made practicable the pro-
jeCting Of motion picture Aim
upon q theater screen"
Last october Mr.. Armat was
made an honorary member Of the
Society Of Motion Picture Engin-
GERS at a banquet held in Wash
tngton. This honor, entirely UNI
sought, and surprise to Mr.. Ar
mat, is believe held by no other
living American.
There is, too, the personal let
ter Of Thomas A. Edison written
to Scientist Armat on May az,
1922, in which he says:
"YOu will probably have
noticed that in interviews given
by me have stated that / had
q projection machine, but that
when You came on the scene I
saw that you had . very much
better one than mine, and that
/ dropped my experiment and
built yours, which was the first
practicable projection machine"
A deep salute then to Thomas
Armat, o modest gentleman who
has not complained over my neg
lect, but whose inventive genius
has given me so many happy
hours. I regret that an earlier
story on the movies fortieth birth
day utterly forgot him. His Serv-
ice to the cause Of entertainment
is so great that I feel honored in
paying him this deserved tribute.
Our promotion manager. Mr..
Bryan Morse, ever alert to sug-.
gest anything that will brighten
the pages Of The washington
Times and this particular section,
proposes that Hollywood on Par
ade round up a collection Of the
old theater programs.

BETHESDA BAPTIST

The pageant given by the young
people of Bethesda last Sunday
night was beautifully conceived and
carried a powerful lesson. The
young persons in the cast convinced
their audience of their ability to do
even greater things. Mrs. Mar
guerite Washington directed, with
Miss Ophelia CAVITY at the piano.
Mrs. Matte Lucas and Mrs. Pri-
muth gave valuable assistance to
the presentation, enjoyed by some
fifty or more persons. Before the
pageant Mrs. A. D. Lucas, First
Baptist church, home missionary,
told a gripping story of her work.
At the morning hour Mrs. L. A.
Lovegren, a missionary on fur
Tough, brought brief history of
the field in China, where she and
her husband have for many years
represented the Christian church.
The senior choir, attractively robed
in white, sang the music as it al
ways does for mission Sunday. The
women of the society led by the
president, Mrs. W. E. Warrington,
took full charge of the exercises
both morning and night. The two
speakers took the place of the usual
sermon.

ZION BAPTIST

The program of mission Sunday
as arranged by Mrs. D. L. Rodgers
and her committee was carried out
in perfect detail as publicized be-
fore in these columns. The NEGRO"
was the theme of the entire day.
The pastor, the Rev. H. W. Bolts,
talked of the Negro in Bible times
while other speakers developed his
history in other fields. Ten young
girls dramatized the Lords Prayer
and good music accompanied each
service. There was excellent atten-
dance beginning with the Sunday
School in the morning, continuing
through the BYPU and night serv-
ices. The mission circle succeeded
in presenting a program distinctly
different and unusually interesting.

WAYMAN A. M. E.

The upward trend of Wayman
church is still in evidence, accord
ing to its pastor. The past quarter
showed several old records ecHpsed,
greater activity on the part of
clubs and auxiliaries, a higher
standard of spiritual manifestation
in attendance and worship as well
as a decided increase in the raising
of finance.
The outstanding achievement thus
far is the rapid growth of the Sun
day school and the Christian En-
deavor under efficient and enthused
leadership. The missionary society
started the new quarter suspicious
ly with a sacred program Sunday
evening in which local talent par
ticipated. Honored guest speakers
were: Mrs. Esther Stovall, Mrs.
Jackson, district president, Mrs.
Bell Glover and Mrs. Effie Turner.
Mrs. John Battles, past president,
gave a resume of the historical or
ganization and progress of the So
ciety. Mrs. Marilla Copeland, the
new president, responded, praising
the members for their loyalty and
devotion. The Busy Bee clubs tur-
key dinner was a glowing success.
The Christian Leaf club is sponsor
ing dinner on Dec. 9 to which all
are invited.

discuss "The Significance of the
Church in All Ages" and at night

aBORDER BRIEFS"

Border was able to add to the
happiness Of many families on
Thanksgiving Day through the dis
tribution of baskets furnished by
friends of the church. The lives Of
many aged and shut-ins were also
frightened by the Masters Queenly
Reserves, who mailed the indis-
posed greetings of the day.
The last Monthly Communion of
the year will be observed next Sun
day, December 6. Every member
owes it to himself and to Border to
be present. Friends will also find
a cordial welcome at Border and
a spirit of fellowship prevalent.
Too, Sunday marks the close of our
Loyalty Drive" and it is hoped
that the individual members and
church organizations combined will
exceed their quota. The relocation
fund was increased by receipt of
substantial check from, Mr.. Charles
Crook, one of Chicago's leading I'M
dertakers, an outstanding Metho-
dist layman, and personal friend
of our pastor, Rev. D. P. Young.

Budapest, Aug. 27-(UP)-Losing money at 6 Hungarian race track is Q most refined and orderly busi- ness. You place your money on the wrong steed then retire to & flower bedecked grandstand where you watch him finish anywhere from second to tenth, without offering him SO much as one mummur of encour- agement or disparagement.
 You don't clap your hands. You don't leap to your feet and scream Come on, babyl" or chamber up in your chair as you do in what we who have been abroad a few weeks re- fer to as "the States" At least you don't do these things but once. One Comanche performance and the Budapest boys and girls give you such Q staring down that you fol- low their lead and watch the races, even blanket finish ones, with the inscrutability of a Chinese man. darin.
 I learned my lesson in Hungarian racing manners at the Jockey club track in this city. Unknowingly, I visited the track on its biggest day of the year when the coUntry's crack horses went to the post in "Sztistuan-Dij" which is to say the Stephens prize. The Stephens which iS an 1900 meters carries & purse Of 25000 pengoes and is the Kentucky derby Of Hungary.

 Louis salomito afforded the high light of today's matches in the city tournament here at the municipal course, when he came through with c brilliant victory over Jake Vree- land by Q score of 2 and 1. "Louie" shot Q 30 on his first round and fln- ished up with c A to declare himself the victor. Tn an eyebrow raising" upset Joe Christian bowled over Billy Sullivan, municipal star, to the tun, of 3 and 1. Joe has been play. ing consistently fine golf all season and is Q serious threat to any op- ponent when 1t comes to match play.
 Genial Joe Dunn, who i5 finalist in the association tournament to be concluded on the coming Sunday, today gave Johnny Diorio such Q stiff battle before lowing in defeat that Johnny Is still rocking on his heels. Joe came in on the short end of Q 2 and 1 battle but not before he carded Q 38 out and Q 42 in, for an aggregate 50. All of which proves the popular contention that there isn't Q finer match player than "Kid" Dunn when he is pressed.
 Tn the other matches the results were as follows: Frank Paul defeat- cd Johnny H6arcoux, and 6. A.. Kelsey defeated J. Moore 6 and (, J. Rogers defeated 0. Lingis 2 and 6, P.

placed well within the city limits, 1t covers 10 acres Of ground and judg- ing from it's natural beauty was hewn from the heart of a forest. Great shade trees are everywhere and the lawns and flowers would adorn any garden. There are two tremendous grandstands. One is for the ordinary race followers and the other which contains the clubhouse and is magnifcently appointed, is the summer parade ground of social, military and diplomatic folk.
 The club has not one track, but three. They parallel one another and each is better than two miles around. Their surfaces are beauti- fully clipped turf, The straightaway Is the last thing in straightawayS being a mile and Q quarter long | with the first quarter mile bordered by magnificent trees.
 The paddock is much like that at Belmont. Horses are paraded around under trees anad on St. Stephens 8 prize day, this natural show and saddling ring was 8 grand sight with It's superbly gowned women, flamboyantly clad officers, top hat ted gentlemen, sleek thoroughbredS and flashing silks.
 The horses looked about the same as ours, though maybe they are not quite as large. The jockeys, how ever, were quite different in appear ance. Tn the first place, most of them seemed to be men of 70 and upwards. I spotted Q few pink checked boys about the age who ride in America. And they were all sizes and shapes. During the saddling for one race I saw jockeys who ranged in height from better than six feet to well under Ave. Some were fat and some thin. With my limited knowledge of Hungarian ("goulash" is the only word I've ever mastered) I wasn't able to And out what system of handicapping was used.
 There Is no tiresome parade to the post. The boys bring their mounts out on the track and immediately begin a gallop to the starting point.
 I had 10 pengoeS (about $2) on the first race, and when the horses came within sight and I spotted my beetle up with the leaders, I started shouting, waving my arms and beg ging him to come home in hurry. With my first scream, the Hun garians around me turned and gave me looks which said so much better than words:
 "PleaseI We don't want that sort of thing here."
 So the next race, didn't make any bet, but just watched the crowd. From the start of the race, which is announced by the ringing of an oversize bell, until the last horse had finished the Budapest bettors sat fin almost dead silence. There was little talking and no cheering. Even when the numbers went up after a close finish. there was no applause.
 I was just as much out of place with my yelling as Q Budapest plunger with his tombstone silence would be at Jamaica or Tropical. Copyright, l936, by United PresS)
