and Mr.. Sennett meant beauty! An
ingenue part was available and Miss
Lombard made grab for it. They
all said she could not do it. Miss
Lombard did, and showed every critic
just how crazy he, or she, was. The
next stop after ingenues, which was
long delayed one. was those So
phisticate parts. The old skeptics,
despite their first beating, came back
again. Miss Lombard, they said,
was as ingenue and she never could
be anything else.
BY way of reply, Mr.. Gables
fiancee became the most sophisti-
Gated and brittle of all film stars,
especially when Beatrice Lille was
not in Hollywood. From sophisti-
Gates, of which Miss Lombard got
veddy, veddy i'll, the actress turned
to her current dramatic role. It is
touching and affecting and quite
different than anything she ever has
done, but they do say that Miss
Lombard once more silences the peo-
pie who say she cannot do it. Where
she will turn next is something of a
mystery, maybe to playing character
parts, but we, and you, both doubt it.

seemed twenty-seven years ago, to

II with the basic
IDEAS of Judaism than this.
Therefore, it is with a feeling
oneness that we join our MOI
Jewish neighbors in this obsel'
ance of Christmas. In a wor
blotted red with the blood of W.
victims, the call for peace is
frantic. pleading one. Yet, vii
out goodwill any peace that
being formed is lost one. 1
us remember on this anniversa
dedicated to peace what Raj
Waldo Emerson said of it: "Not
ing can bring you peace but
triumph of principles"
While we are speaking
Christmas very interesting
versation comes to mind w
discussed the question ''how
Jewish family should celebl
Christmas. "You cannot SIM
ignore the celebration with
brilliant trees and the spirit
gift-giving. Can you tell CHI
on Christmas morning when ne
sees his gentle neighbors playing
with their bright new toys that
he cannot have them, that he is
different" This particular gen.
tlemen argued that the psycologi-
cal effect on the child would be
harmful one, and that the child
should join with his playmates in
the observance of Christmas.
In looking back on our own
childhood we remember Christmas
with no heartaches despite the
fact that we were reared in an
orthodox Jewish home. To the
contrary there is always pleas
ant memory associated with the
occasion. Christmas was the day
when we would rise early, and in
our bathrobes scuttle next door
where an Irish Catholic family
lived to view with wonder the
awe-inspiring sight of a glittering
tree. We "oohed" and "ahed" at
the exhibit of gifts and we always
had one to add to Isabelle's and
Jeany's Christmas. They waited
until Rosh Hashonah and Chanu-
kah to return the little act of
neighborliness, for then we receiv-
ed a message for a happy New
Year and a gift, respectively.
The psychological effect made for
cordial feeling and understand
ing. We had each demonstrated
in truth that it was better to give
than to receive.
Do you mind if we chat a bit,
because we want to tell you that
little Miriam Robins reminds us
of Sonia Heine and while we
are penciling ideas let us tell you
the way the A. Robins celebrated
Miriam's birthday-T'm sure Mrs.
Robins won't mind Miriam
was only three and there was
some doubt whether she under
stood the significance Of a party,
for family or otherwise SO
instead of giving a party the
Robins applied the sum of the

sent to a needy family in Poland
