Gods Harp Has Many Strings

NNE Of the most remarkable titles
~ for God In the Bible is "the
God Of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob"
EXODUS 800, We might expect the
first name; we are astonished to
hear the other two,
Abraham. Of course, was a great
spiritual pioneer, he was great in
other ways too a man who would
be outstanding In any age, in any
place, one Of the great religious
Feniuses OF all time OF course God
is the God Of such men. we expect
IT,
But what about isaac ard
Jacob? Isaac was nonentiiy. a
weak character, far from
bright Even his sins were Sec
ond-hand. As for Jacob. even
after he became changed
man, as IN time he did, his old
crooked record remained fact.
The Eible does not try 10 con-
ceal IL.
Then can God be the God Of the
weak and the God Of the sinner
Yes, that is the glory Of the God
who Is revealed In his Word Other
religions know of gods who are
friends Of top-level human beings,
genuises and saints, only the rcli-
gion OF the Bible knows Of a God
who takes a personal interest in the
weak and who pursues the sinner TO
change him.
Only the Bible knows OF God
who draws to himself all sorts and
conditions Of men, and makes use
Of them for his great and gracious
purposes.

Prior to presentation in tn e
country of its origin, Sweden's
prize-winning film, Miss Julie"
has been playing on the Boulevard
de POpera in Paris.
Miss Julie" is a highly original
motion picture. Together wi h
Torment" lin which Mai letter
ling and Christopher Kent appear
ed, it suggests the force and
breadth of which Swedish cinema
is capable but which has rarely
been expressed since Maurice Still
Ter and Victor Seastrom went to
Hollywood in the twenties.
The original scenario of Miss
Julie was written by August
Strindberg in the late nineteenth
century as two-act play. There
were only three characters then.
Julie, the wilful, capricious, n d
imperious daughter of landown-
er, Jean an opportunistiv vale
after whom she lusts; and Chris
tine, the cook, whose kitchen pro-
vides the main setting for the
drama.
ALT Sj0berg, the director, util-
ICES the occurrence of holiday fes-
tivities to remove his characters
from the kitchen and to measure
the mounting crescendo of their
emotional hurricanes with the
growing frenzy of the merry:nak-
ers, who also have a certain re-
semblance to a Greek chorus. He
infuses the drama with movement
similar to the wild, autocratic en-
ergy Characteristic of Julie and
invests the whole with the scope
which the vastness of Swedish
landscapes and his camera m a y
Scandinavian American. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1945-1958, 1951-11-05

provide.
Perhaps the ultimate story-tell-
ing feat of the film is the new
method invented to suggest how
the past is responsible for the
present; flashbacks are not some
thing which the camera cuts back
to. Rather, they occur in and about
the persons involved as they are
being recounted.
Like Sj0berg, Anita Bjork
(Julie) comes from the Dramatic
Theatre of Stockholm, Sweden's
national theater, where she has
appeared most notably as Celia
in the Cocktail Party" Agnes in
Ibsen's Brand" and the ingenue
in Anouih's Ring Round the
Moon"
AS she and Sjoberg interpret the
role, Miss Julie is more humanized
than Strinb berg might have
wished.
The success of Miss Julie"
leads one to reflect that Swedish
literature provides the possibilities
for scenarios. The novels of Selma
Lagerlof are as suitable as SUBJ
jects for the talkies as they were
for silent films in the twenties,
while Ibsen's Enemy of the Peo-
ple," Brand" 1.-THE Master Build
err" and Peer Gynt" are eminent
ly serviceable. AS for Strindberg,
the possibilities are enormous.
If the achievement which Miss
Julie" represents is of any real
promise, with the impetus offered
by Sj0berg, Swedish cinema may
well be on its way to new epoch
of achievement. One can hardly
wish it anything but well.
