Artist Severt Andrewson is preach
ing sermons with a brush.
Employed by a Chicago film COM
pany which specializes in movies
with a religious theme, Andrewson
has made several pictures similar to
Walt Disney's animated cartoons to
tell serious stores derived from the
Bible.
The film company has doubled its
business since 1889, the year Presi-
dent C. o. Baptista ventured into
the unique field.
Our purpose" says Baptista, lis
to spread the gospel through motion
pictures. So far we've made SIS pic
lures, 20 of them from animated
drawings, that run from 10 to As
minutes"
Our most successful picture" he
said, was The Man Who Forgot
God Since it was completed in No
vember, 1943, it's been the means of
converting lat least 1000 people. ac-
cording to letters we received from

At present Artist Andrewson is
working on a 16-mm. full-color pic
ture which he calls THE Power of
the Blood" 1t portrays scenes from
the Bible from the time of Adam

various scenes of biblical sacrifice
unfold, a narrator explains how
blood was shed to atone for sin.

well before the separation. =. The
same goes for Ella Raines and her
Maj. Kenneth Trout. They were in
high school together, and the war
enforced parting is a small drop
in the ocean of their knowledge and
regard for each other. Gene
Tierney is more in love with her
husband, Oleg Cassini, than with
her career. And that's a good omen
for their life together after the war.
Barbara Stanwyck is fortunate in
having her Robert Taylor in this
country. But l can't imagine any
separation disrupting this romance.

NEW YORK,

NEW YUM.
As though gathering strength for
further additions to the collection
of hit plays and musicals currently
approximating record dimensions,
dramatic production on Broadway
has come to a complete halt. 1t is,
however, temporary, and reports
seeping in from several points have
given us cause to look to the imme-
date future with high expectancy,
anticipating a final accounting OF
the season of 1856 which will
establish it as perhaps the most
brilliant in the memory of any thea
tergoers whose years have advanced
to middle age.
Some there are, indeed, who will
affirm that this is already the case
and I am not at all sure that any
one who surveys the list of successes
holding the local boards will debate
that opinion, for 1t is based upon a
galaxy of dramatic offerings
"The Tempest" "A Bell for Adano, y
Dear Ruth" Harvey" Anna
Lucasta," II Remember Mama, ,
"Snafu," 'Ten Little Indians" "The
Hasty Heart" The Late George
Apley";; these round out q list of
plays which qualified as worthwhile
Is almost to understate the case.
Then the musicals: "Bloomer
Girl" Song of Norway" "Sing Out
