HOLLYWOOD, Calf. May ~
(ANP)--After days of hoping l
finally made a "closed" set to in
terview Ethel Waters during a
half hour intermission in the film
ing of "Pinky."
A closed set is, one which bars
all visitors including stars of the
same studio as we'll as Negro and
white newsmen who are not con-
nected with the actual filming of
the particular sequences in action
at the time.
4 This is done to avoid thousands
Of dollars of possible loss incurr-
ed from unnecessary noises such as
a whisper or even the rustic of
paper, noises all recorded by a
sensitive sound strip.
Although my assistant, Corinne
Adams, and my friend, Tommy
Love, and l reported to the Twen-
tieth Century-Fox "Pinky" set at
$50 am, we were not admitted
until A pm. My friend, Gordon of
the studios publicity department,
helped me in my search for an in
terview~ with Miss Waters.
Miss Waters is very enthusiast
tic over her role as Aunt Dicey,
Pinky's grandmother as well as
Jeanne Grains performance as
Pinky. She remarked.
"You say I seem to be living
this part. Well, I am. 1t seems
that Miss Grain is really Pinky, my
grandmother. l can feel the sor-
row that nearly struck me down
when her mother, my daughter
died and left me with her to raise

AS soon as person enlists in the
army Of the Lord or becomes a
member Of His Church, he steps,
as il were, into the arena and the
fight is on-s real fight to the end
against the enemies Of the Cross
and his sOul-namcly, the devil, the
world, and his own sinful flesh.
But Christians who are actively
engaged in that struggle are not
to pity themselves and imagine that
they are very much abused They
are to glory in the fight, for it is a
good fight, and it is for good
cause The weapons Christ pro-
vides (His Word and the spirit of
prayer are adequate when pro-
perly used And the prize is the
crown Of everlasting life. No won
der that the Apostle Paul pleads
that Christians acquit themselves
like men in this worthwhile strug
gle.
The Colosseum at Rome had a
seating capacity Of $1,000. The con-
testants entering the arena were
conscious of the many eyes watch
ing them, and they were anxious
10 acquit themselves nobly. Some
times the Roman emperor would at
tend the contests in the Colosseum,
and when the gladiators realized
that they were fighting within
sight Of the emperor. whom they
worshipped as a god, their courage
knew no bounds.
There are many eyes upon us,
if we profess to be Christians,
whether we realize it or not. And
what men see in us and our way
OF life either constitutes attractive
publicity for Christ or it drives
them away from Him Who is the
eternal Savior Of men. Further
more, not a human emperor looks |
down on US as we carry the fight |
into the Christian arena, but Jesus |
Christ, the King of kings and LORD |
of Lords Surely, that ought TO be |
sufficient encouragement to acquit
nobly. And what JOY il
will be to hear the SaVior's com
at the end of time be-
ore His throne of judgment: Thou
iast fought a good fight" and to
eceiVe from Him the prize of vic
ory-the crown everlasting. ST. |
