Jim Preston announced the other
day that, since it long has been his
custom to hang his sock on his own
Washington mantle, he hoped he'd
be out of the Hollywood trenches by
Christmas.
\. That was Jim's way of letting his
movie associates know that he be-
neves they might work with little
greater speed.
Nov, James" said Frank
Capra, the director who hired Pres
ton, giving him a fatherly pat.
Preston, press contact in the Sen
ate for years and now an archivist
in the Library of Congress, was the
man Capra went to see in Washing
ton when he wanted some infOrma-
ton about the way things are done
In the Senate. Capra had to have
technical advice for his picture "Mr
Smith Goes to Washington"
Preston has been in Washington
for a good, long number of years
He could answer Capra's questions,
so Preston was brought to Holly
wood.
This is the most amazing place
I've ever been," Preston said. Come
over here and Ill show you the
Senate ;. Look at it, exactly like
the real one. Ninety-six desks, exact
duplicates of the real ones. And
these lights and the molding and
the designs in the panels. Exact!
But, doggone it. in Washington
we start to do thing and we get
1t done. In Hollywood, well
can see what Capra is doing. He Is
building his plot and his characters
as he goes along, but, my gracious,
1t takes a long time"
Jim hasn't met many stars yet,
but he will. Jim's views, stated
humorously and with an air Of con-
clusiveness, are going to make him
as popular in Hollywood circles as
In Washingtons.
After happening onto SET where
Jpan Blondell was working, Jim re-
ported, "Shes just like she is on the
screen-her eyes talk. And It's
natural. She's got the sauciest
eyes ="
Only thing that worries Jim il
that something may get into "his'
picture that will cause his Capita
friends to rib him.

berlain, has not been asked to do

around to that before he gets out

Heart Breaker

NEW YORK.


"The Happiest Days" by Charlotte
Armstrong. is a heart-breaking play
based substantially on q murder case
that shocked the community across
the East River last year.
In part, the play is about the
desperations of sensitive adolescence,
and in part 1t is about the abomin-

were weeping into their ermine on

you feel guilty. If you've ever seen

word which the president of a great
American university recently SAID
accurately described the present
condition of the minds of men. Lit
tie wonder that the men of the world
are beWildered, for they are like
mariners who sail an unknown sea
after having thrown away map and
compass. Without Christ and with
out Gods Word men cannot be any
thing but beWildered.
That which gives us even greater
concern is that many who are Chris
tians, who really know the Guide
and who have the Guidebook, are
also declaring themselves to be ut
terly bewildered. What is the rea-
son? Obviously that they have not
read the Book and have not talked
with their Lord.
Our lesson for the coming Lords
Day touches on one of the problems
which causes many Christians to
question Gods love and care. They
find that their efforts to testify for
Him by word or life meet with a
violent reaction from bitter
world, and they discover that such
a life involves personal sacrifice and
frequently results in even the mem
bers of their own families turning
against them. Can this be Gods
way of dealing with His people?
The answer is found in His Word.
The Christian is to be
/. Fearless in Hostile World (vv.
24-28, 80, 33).
Note carefully that he is not to
be silent (vv. 80, 33). We deny our
Lord when we fail to speak for Him
when we ought to do so. Christi
anity is not something to be hidden
in ones own bosom, fire to warm
ones own soul. It is good news
which is to be proclaimed even from
the housetops.
But, someone will say, when
do speak there is opposition; they
call me names, they threaten to kill
me. Yes, and what Of it? 1.-THE
disciple is not above his master,
nor the servant above his Lord" ".
24). They called Jesus a devil.
They even crucified Him. Should
we then expect to be borne to glory
on fowery beds Of ease? God
knows all about this, yes, even
about the hidden and whispered
plottings of evil men ". 26). He
will deal with them and judge them
in due season. 49,
!, We need not fear men. The most
they can do is to kill the body.
Let us consider the eternal God,
who not only may take the life out
of the body, but is also able to cast
both soul and body into hell ". 26).
God is not as theory, a bit of
pious Imagination. He is real, He
is all-powerful. Why then should
we be fearful if we serve Him in
faithful devotion?
