A color motion picture on present
day Ireland, titled Here Is Ire
Iand', will be shown at the Second
Church Forum Sunday evening,
January 2, at 1880 p. m. This pic
ture Is . rare and dignified presen-
tation from the children Of Gael to
their kinsfolk in America. It was
produced by Pat Stanton and dis
tributed by the Irish American Film
Corporation. This Is the picture
that played II weeks in New York,
IL weeks in Boston and had ex-
tended runs In Chicago, Los Angeles,
San Francisco and other metropoli-
tan cities. The old way and the old
days are still very much part Of
the Ireland of today and Pat Stan
ton has sought them out with low
ing care and recorded them in great
detail and in all their natural color
and charm. These are the things
that Irish pets have sung about for
centuries; the history and legend
that have made the Emerald Isle
. land to thrill the imagination Of
every human being with drop Of
adventure and romance In his veins.
There are many scenes Of Irish
children, all of them beautiful.
charming and wholly delightful;
there are shrines and castles in
Guiding a trip through Barney
Castle with beautiful views Of the
country side; the famous Schulz and
Skibbereen Light Railway disclosing
gardens just dripping over with rho
dodendron; the oldest electric tram
way in the world at Portrush, and
the Giants Causeway; Brice Island
with its lovely gardens and the
famous Blue Pool and then the
magic name Of Killarney and the
unbelievable beauty of its lakes as
seen from Lady's View. These and
many other beautiful and interesting
scenes will be thrown on the screen.
Pat Stanton and his wife, Mary,
took trip back to see what the new
regime had done for the Ireland
they know SO well. They went
everywhere; saw everything; met
everyone, or SO it seems; and this
film Is . record Of their journey.
The story told by MIR. Stanton him
self, In his rich br0gue and casual
style, Is done with such expert and
loving care, that many a SON and
daughter Of Erin has come out after
seeing the picture, wiping away an
unashamed tear, and saying, "Sure,
it's as good as . trip back to Ire
land"

Also worth elaboration by
Coach John Gill and his Bron-
cos on the eve of their biggest
game of the season is the fact
that Michigan was in virtually
the same boat before its home
inaugural last year. The wise
ones made Michigan puny
short-ender against the loudly
acclaimed Great Lakes team.

The Wolverine squad, point
ing for its crucial Western Con-
ference opener against North

momentum during the week and
should be much sharper than in
its opening 26-0 triumph over

on the other hand, had one of
IFS biggest guns spiked this week
when the stellar Dick Kieppe
was transferred TO the Iowa Ma
Wy Pre-Flight station.
