St. Patrick's Day!
World Events Make It Day of Prayer, Thanks giving Writes Patrick J. Flaherty-Voices Hope for Prayers for Guidance in
 Future World Affairs.

The celebration of St. Patricks day comes to us this year as day of special prayer and thanks giving, prayers for those war torn European nations and with thanks to God we are living in a land free from the hand of the sroiler.
 Ireland today, though resting within the shadows of wars de- struction, will observe St. Patrick's day In the good old fashioned way: a day of prayer and celebration.
 The light of early morn will lead them to church to show de- votion to that patron saint and keep fresh in their memories his teachings by displaying in the open the chosen leaf handed 10 them many centuries ago.
 The observance of St. Patrick's day dates back to the closing years of the fifth century, or to be more exact, to the year 1460, this date marking the passing away of St. Patrick after fulfilling his mission on earth to answer the call of his creator.
 Seats of Learning
 Tn later years the teachings of St. Patrick bore fruit as seats of learning were spread throughout the land.
 Its missionaries were drafted to all parts of Europe to spread the light of Christian faith in many places then living under the thrall of organism.
 Its schools and churches four ished and multiplied, manned by the gospel spread by St. Patrick, then adhered to and established as the only Christian doctrine Of that era.
 The great masses, though of dif- ferent clans, embraced those teachings and the land as a whole became a Christian Catholic Ire land, adopting the Shamrock as the emblem of St. Patrick's work ings and March 17 as their day of universal joy and celebration.
 During those early centuries the Christian faith found living site in the hearts of the Irish people and helped them in their pursuits of life to live close to God and never wander from the paths blazed by the missionary works of St. Patrick.
 Their devine ways of worship continued in peace and unity to the waning days of the twelfth century, when disunion in the ranks of the Irish chieftains in- fluenced the hand of the spoiler, to invade her shores.
 With the coming of those hirelings came the giant enemy of Christianity and Catholicity to spread the gloom of sorrow and spoliation throughout the length and breadth of the land.
 The enactment of penal laws followed, and the priest and peo- ple were forced to seek shelter in the cold bleak hillside to wor- ship God and keep alive in their hearts the teachings implanted therein by the voice of St. Patrick.

Tenderness Fled.
This kind of hard luck is nothing
new on Broadway, but in the recent
past Robert E. Sherwood was con-
ceded to have a corner on 1t. The
first big success Sherwood ever wrote
was Waterloo Bridge" which you
have seen three times in the movies
if you are old enough-one silent
version and two talkieS.
The show opened out of town and
was called "in the bag" not only
by critics, but by ticket brokers who
were scrambling to get into position
to make a big buy" after it got to
New York. But the leading lady
and the leading man became jealous
of each other and started to hate
each other with vast enthusiasm.
Since the whole play depended on
the tenderness of their love for each
other, the effect was not so good.
| The result was the show got such a
| pasting from the New York critics
that it never recovered.
Then Mr.. Sherwood wrote The
Petrified Forest" starring Leslie
Howard. The show began its career
like a million dollars in floating
crap game, but boils began to over
take Mr.. Howard and Hollywood
overlook Humphrey Bogart, who
played the second male lead. The
result was the show barely paid of
| expenses.
Now Mr. Sherwood's There Shall
Be No Night" is on velvet, but eX-
pected to reach the plush with a
long tour in the fall. This play is
primarily against the Nazi idea, but
its action takes place during the
| first Finnish-Soviet war. Montreal
is scheduled to see it October 27,
but nobody is quite sure now how
Montreal will take to it by then or
how the United States will take to
| it, for that matter.

age in the days of our enlighten-
ment.
One would like to say that it was
strange that the movie critics should
make the mistake in judging them
that was made in the case of Olsen
and Johnson. Unfortunately, it
wasn't strange at all. On the con-
trary, it was inevitable. Critics are
inevitably espousers of the new, or
of the old only in new guises, or
at least in subtle and graceful form
Repetition to them always means
that somebody has been loafing.
That attitude of mind would make
them see Abbott and Costello as
two classic idlers, pair of beach,
combers coming back with the
refuse of the ages of entertainment.
Necessarily they would have to re-
port the spectacle in their lustiest
adjectives, completely oblivious of
the fact that the gleanings might
have place in period in which
the past looks so much better than
the future.
Two Popular Roles.
In so doing, they missed the point
at least in the first picture
that Abbott and Costello were con-
spicuously honest fellows in that
they made no pretense of being
other than what they were. Their
material and their style OF pre-
senting it is frankly from burlesque.
The former is as simple and OBJ
vious as the method of handling 1t
is loud and exaggerated.
Moreover, the boys have cast
themselves in the two most popu-
lar roles that have existed since
humans began to 60 in twos. Alb
bott is the smart guy, Costello the
dope, one of the most compli-
mentary arrangements nature jok-
ingly thought up for the species.
1t is fun to see Abbott trap his pal
in the latter's own ignorance. and it
is more fun on those rare occa-
sions when the. latter catches on
and turns the tables.
Abbott and Costello, of course, are
not the only derivatives of bur-
lesque who are popular with movie
audiences these days.

A Bit Uncanny.
There's nothing, in fact, that he

leans toward the latter only be-
cause it pays better.
