hold in affection.
Around the Theater Guild

the wonder was that so many
persons had known, yet knew
so little about, Bess Davis

THE PAST GOT LOST:
She always talked shop,
plays, players, her subscribers,

never talked self, or the past
even when the latter had
nothing to do with self.
This correspondent, a pro-
feSSional intimate of Miss
Schreiner's for % years, found
he knew next to nothing about
her personally. Only vaguely
that she lived near Sixteenth
and U streets, which turned
out to be the old Balfour apart
mentS. That they both dined,
noontime, for a great many
years at the Raleigh, often to-
gether. And that Bess, of all
people associated with the
theater. dared to tell drama
columnists what they ought to
do. Not. how they should Judge
plays, understand, but how
they ought to love the theater
and promote its general well
fare.
When they did not do what
she told them, she remon-
Strated only to the extent of
knowing they would do better
the next time. They did, so
times.

uaries, which took a lot of
diligent research, that Miss
Schreiner's professional con-

out of that experience-of ar

In his message the Pope
said:
Conscious of the funda-
mental part played by the
family institution in every
well ordered society, the
organizers of this congress
have wished to have people
who specialize in this ques-
ton dedicate their intelligent
efforts for a few days to the
problems relating to the fam
lily in the modern world.
Thinking of Our respon-
sibility as Father and Shep-
herd of the flock entrusted
to Us by Jesus Christ, We
have benignly welcomed the
request submitted to Us for
Our Blessing together with n
word of exhortation and en-
enlargement for the work of
such an important assembly.
God has placed in the
hearts of men three loves
which flourish mainly
through His (love) which
ennobles them: the love Of
married couples, the love of
a father and the love of chill
dren (for their parents. To
wish to uproot or paralyze
these affections would be
like a profaning of some
thing sacred which would
lead fatally to the ruin of
ones country and of human
ity. The dignity, the rights
and the duties of the home,
established by God Himself
as a vital cell of society, are,
in virtue of this, as old as
the world; they are the basis
Of social wellbeing.
Jesus Christ gave dignity
to marriage, raising this con-
tract between baptized
people to the rank of a sacra-
ment, and He also wished to
sanctify family life with His
example, making Himself a
member of a home, the mir
ror of the most beautiful
virtues.
las regards bringing back
this institution to its purest
essence: provide the family
with the material necessities
and endow it with the assets
and services due to it by
society for the fulfiilment of
its mission; revive in it the
Christian meaning, which has
a fine history in Spanish ira
ditions, in tune, yes, with the
conditions of present day liv-
ing but without the new
reality's dwarfing the valid
ity of the basic principles.
All this can only be con-
sidered as a meritorious serv-
ice for the Catholic cause,
worthy Of Our approval and
praise.
Because OF this We truly
wish that every home be con.
verted, in imitation of that
Of Nazareth, into a shrine of
religious feelings and a
school Of virtues. May this
congress succeed in promot-
ing such beneficial effects,
striving so that the Spanish
family preserves the Chris
tian fragrance which elevates
it so that its influence re-
fleets on the entire social
order of that beloved coun.
try and also on the commun-
ity of nations.
I'VE constantly keep alive
In Our thoughts the mem
cries which We collected
during Our travels in Spain.
We were very pleasantly and
particularly impressed by
the blossoming of its families
with their clusters of chill.
dren in whose eyes We saw
the brilliance of that ray of
candid transparency and the
innocent smile which cap
tivated Our heart.
1T is with great pleasure
that We formulate the most
cordial wishes for the sue
cess of these meetings and
We very gladly send to the
organizers and participants
