SCIENTIST CHURCHES
|. STUDY CHRIST JESUS
AT SUNDAY SERVICES

Christ Jesus was the subject OF
the Lesson-Sermon in all Christian
Science churches and societies or
Sunday, March 8.
The Golden Text was from Jere-
miah %: S, 6. Behold, the days
come. saith the Lord, that I will
raise unto David righteous
Branch, and a King shall reign
and prosper, and shall execute
judgement and justice in the
earth. And this is his name
whereby he shall be called, The
Lord Our Righteousness"
Among the citations comprising
the Lesson-Sermon were the fol-
lowing from the Bible: "And there
shall come forth rod out of the
stem Of Jesse, and a Branch shall
grow out of his roots: And the spir-
it Of the Lord shall rest upon him,
and the spirit of wisdom and I'M
derstanding, the spirit of counsel
and might, the spirit of knowl.
edge and the fear of the Lord; And
righteousness shall be the girdle
Of his loins, and faithfulness the
girdle of his reins'' isaiah II: 1.
"a, 81.
The Lesson-Ser9non also included
the following passages from the
Christian Science textbook, "Sci.
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy:
Christ expresses Gods spiritual
eternal nature. The name is sy
nonymous with Messiah, and al.
ludes to the Spirituality which i.

The conflict between these two is a
natural, and naturally is the domi-
nant one in the play. That is espe-
cially true after it turns out the
murdered girl is not Laura at all,
and after the live Laura returns to
give the combatants something real
to battle over.
On the probably sound theory that
the movie already has let two
thirds of the population in on who
shot the face off that other girl, the
play rests its case principally upon
the wit of its dialogue and the inter-
play of character.
The trouble with all such dia-
logue, however, is that it has be-
come commonplace. 1t actually
does not seem terribly witty of the
sophisticated Lydecker, for instance,
to describe the dead girl as ''maga-
zine cover wired for sound" or
something close to that. Nor does
Laura stamp herself as a devastating
one among the smart set when she
suggests to the young detective that
he maybe thinks she's a fiye-letter
word that still is frowned upon in
family newspapers. The word has
not yet been entirely worked to
death, but it no longer is certain the
laugh it gets is with, or at, the
playwright who pounces upon 1t.
Michael Gordon's direction of
Laura" leaves it questionable
whether the principal business on
the stage is concerned with the
solution of a murder or merely de-
termining who shall marry whom,
although marry" clearly is an
overstatement of any intention evi-
dent among the participants. In
the movie, the two had equal values,
but the play clearly. and unfor-
tunately. lays the emphasis upon
the romance angle.
The movie performances OF
Laura" left little margin for the
current players to operate on.
Kruger, however, manages to make
a suave aesthetic out of Lydecker,
and Miss Hopkins, as Laura, intro
duces new note in the form of a
surprising Southern accent. Both
Of them have tendency to lift their
voices to toss an occasional spot of
excitement into the play, and so
does Tom Neal as the detective.
The trick is not very effective, and
neither is the stage Laura"

shared this expectation, was Hunt
Stromberg, jr., who went to the ex-
pense OF hiring Miriam Hopkins,
Otto Kruger and Tom Neal to see
that 1t was realized. Young Mr..
Stromberg seems to have been mis-
guided, a hereto to Hollywood where
heresy Is always brave, but can also
be foolish thing. The play he has
produced from the script OF Vera
Caspary and George Sklar merely
sharpens the memory of what good
movie Laura" was.
X X * X
Twentieth Century-Fox with all
its silly money produced a celluloid
version of Laura" that compares
with the one at the National as a
pipe organ to concertina. 1t had
scope and range, was spread out all
over New York and Connecticut.
The current offering limits the action
of the story to Laura's living room
in New York, but not all the talk
or what HAS gone on there, includ-
ing a murder, ever leads the audi
ence to think anything IS going on.
The depressing truth about this
Laura" is that not even those
mixed up in the murder are able to
get excited about it or the fact that
one of them, at least, will likely
sizzle for it in the handiest electric
chair.
\ X X X
The characters of this new
Laura" bear the same names and
possess generally the same qualities
as those in the original. The prin-
cipal males are the urbane, sophisti-
Gated Waldo Lydecker, who writes
brilliantly precious fiction, and De-
tective Mark Mcpherson, a mascu-
line realist who has been so busy
with evil that he only knows how to
be charming instead OF polished.

Search for Talent
Travels in Cycles;
Now It's Models
BY the As.oeioted Pra;s
HOLLYWOOD.

HOLLYWOOD.
Movie-goers often wonder where
the talent scouts find the gals for
the screen, but it appears that
the search for talent often travels
in cycles.
Prior to the advent of talking
pictures the gal chase ranged from
the theater to the nearest hotdog
stand. Looks were all, or just about
all, that were required.
When sound came in the quest
centered on the stage. Any girl
who could say "ah" was recruited
A few years ago the cycle switched
to dance bands, and the net was out
for any good looking canary with
an orchestra.
Today it appears that models have
an inside track to Hollywood.
Some historians say the original
model engaged for the screen was
Norma Shearer. If true, the type
was off to good start.
Flame haired Lucille Ball brought
the topic to current times with
an off -the-cuff review of recent
ex-models as she sat on the set of

these expensive backgrounds to see
how they look, alive and dead.
The type is quite dramatic and
the public appetite for the sight of
1t apparently is Unsuitable.
Evidence Of this public demand
was visible at the National last
night, where Laura" the play,
bobbed up rather belatedly as the
offspring of Laura" the movie. It
usually Is the other way around, the
movie following the play version,
and the only Judgment possible is
that 1t should continue to be that
way. Laura" which was a taut,
exciting movie, turns out to be a wan
conversation piece as a play, quite
dispiriting to any one who thought
it might be more lively in the flesh.

BUILDING BEGUN
ON NEW LIBRARY
Donations To Construction
Funds Sought For Negro
Institution

NEW BERN, July 10. - Con-
struction has been started on a
new local library for Negro resi-
dents of the county. E. c. Etheridge
of this city has the contract. The
lot for the purpose was bought by
the library directors several years
ago. 1t is well situated, just across
the street from the Good Shepherd
hospital for Negroes.
Through the years both the white
and the colored members of the
library board have been trying to
raise funds for erection of the
modern new building. The present
library is only a tiny alcove in the
high school building.
Campaigns in the city and
throughout the state are being
started now to endeavor to COM
plete the So, 900 fund needed for
the new structure. All donor names
will be recorded in a special Book
of Remembrance for permanent
placing in the library. Both the
white and colored directors are
hopeful that voluntary donations
will be sent to Charlotte Rhone,
Negro, president; or to Mrs. John
D. Whitford county welfare super
intendent, or Gertrude Carraway,
all of whom are among the library
directors.
