O D D 0 0 0 Bette Da,vis, Miriam 1 Hopkins Top Cast o f Brilliant Drama “ The Old Maid," co-starring Bet­ te Davis and Miriam Hopkins, will have Its. first local showing at the ■Regent Theater, Springfield, on Friday? September 1. Filmed by Warner Bros., it has been hailed by preview audiences as the out­ standing dramatic event of the year—a rare combination of bril­ liant talents in the fields of act­ ing, writing and directing. One feminine star — especially if she be that double Academy) winner, Bette Davis-—might be/ con­ sidered sufficient for a photoplay, no matter how great. But in "The Old Maid” there are two. ■Besides Bette Davis there is the lovely and highly capable Miriam Hopkins, who has starred in many a top- notch production on her own ac­ count. The girls have equally im­ portant parts. Tills is the first time; since they reached star­ dom, that either has ever shared acting honors or top billing honors with another player of her own sex. “ The Old Maid,” was written first as a novel by Edith Whar­ ton, often' called the "aristocrat of American writers.” She will be remembered as the >author -/ of “Ethan Frome” and “ The Age of Innocence,” among many other books. Then, four years ago. Zoe Akins, the brilliant dramatist, transformed -the book into a stage play which not only ,had a long run in New York but won the Pulitzer Prize for that year, the highest award that can be bestowed upon a dramatic production. With Miss Davis and Miss, H od - kins in the picturlzation of "The Old Maid” are such players as l George Brent, Jane Bryan, Donald Crisp, Louise Fazenda, James Stephenson, Jerome Cowan, Wil­ liam Lundigan, Cecilia Loftus, Janet Shaw, DeWolf Hopper and Rand Brooks. The director was Edmund Goulding, whoso latest previous triumph was Bette Davis's sensational “Dark Victory.” The story deals with two cous­ ins, Charlotte and Delia Lovell, who live in the same old house in aristocratic Philadelphia in the period between 3861, .when the Civil War broke out, and the'l880’s, Despite the luxury and wealth with which they are surrounded, they hate and envy each other for twenty-odd years. Then the daugh­ ter of “ the sour old maid” —this yong girl played brilliantly by Jane Bryan—is able to bring mutual understanding to them as their gray hairs and lined faces tell they have entered middle age. The picture is a tense, grip­ ping drama, with a charmingly, picturesque period background. Houses, furniture, equipages, cos­ tumes, all were revived with' au­ thenticity and beauty, it is "'de­ clared. Little need be said of the act­ ing ability of either Bette Davis dr Miriam Hopkins. Each has a top place among the feminine play­ ers* of the screen. And each, pre­ viewers agree, in “The Old Maid” surpasses anything Bhe has pre­ viously done YOUR BEST LAMB MARKET At our sale Monday, August 21st, top ewe and wether lambs brought 8.60, seconds at 7.85.

ISAIAH: A LIFE DEDICATED TO GOD LESSON TEXT—Iialah 8.T-13. GOLDEN TEXT—Mere am I: send me.. Isaiah 6:8. ; Crisis! We have had so many ol them that they have almost become I commonplace. There has been one war crisis alter another,,There have been world crisis and domestic cri­ sis until the word has almost lost its meaning. In the life of the individual, how­ ever, the times of crisis are very ' real and important. In a critical illness one knows when the orisis comes, and <he who safely passes that hour is on the road to recov­ ery. More vital than a physical crisis is a spiritual crisis, when a man meets God la c e .to face and his future destiny is determined by the response which he makes to God’s pall. Isaiah had such an experience When ;he came to realize God’s glo­ ry, confessed his own unworthiness, and sought cleansing of life as a preparation for commission to serv­ I. 'H Saw -the -Lord” ( w . 1-4). King Uzziah, who had begun well but had forgotten’ -God, was' at the end of his life, a leper because of his sin, and dying in disgrace. Is­ rael which had known unprecedent­ ed prosperity under God’s blessing now.hardened its heart nationally against God and* was also about to go into eclipse. God needed A man to speak for Him in such an hour, to bring to H is people a message of judgment and also of blessed in­ vitation. To prepare that man, the great Isaiah, God gayp *?*emarka- ble manifestation o f His .glory and power; It is essential that the man who speaks fo r God should first see the Lord high and lifted up and to hear of His holiness and glory- The neg ative tone of the present-day mes­ sage, the lack of enthusiasm and interest in holy things, the low standards of personal holiness, the failure to preach boldly the truth regarding God’s holy standards are to be explained by the fa c t that there has .been no vision of the eternal holiness and glory of God. The need of the people today is the same as it was in the time of Isaiah. Where are the men and women who are ready for a vision Jike his and for the commission which will fol­ low? • II. “ Woe Is Me! for I Am Uu done” (v. 5). . To see the holiness of God is to be immediately conscious o f one’s own sin and■ unworthinesB. The ob­ vious conclusion which one draws from 'that fa c t is that anyone who is proud, who is not concerned about his own sins and the sins o f his peo­ ple, is living far from God and has either never known or has forgot­ ten about His divine holiness. . Isaiah spoke of the pollution of his lips, thereby confessing that his heart mas not right. Whereof the heart is full, thereof speaketh the mouth, for we read in Matthew 12: 34 that out of the abundance of the heart ; the mojuth speaketh. Re­ member that even though Isaiah was a believer lie recognized the need o f cleansing. III. “ Then . . . He Touched My Mouth” (vv. fl, 7, R. V.)./ “ Then” — what an important word! When Isaiah called out in humble confession, “ then” he was cleansed. The turning point is right at that place for any life. Only when we come to the place of con­ fession and contrition which iBaiah knew, can we expect the Lord to send the cleansing'fire and the en­ abling power. None but God can give this cleans­ ing. Man is unable to wash him­ self clean. "F o r though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord” (Jer. 2:22. See also Jer. 13:23). Reforma­ tion, turning over a new leaf, char­ acter development, all commenda­ ble in their place, are not sufficient. There must be divine cleansing of the life if there is to be * commis­ sion to service. IV. “ Here Am 1 ; fiend Me” (vv. 8-13). God had a difficult and unpopu­ lar message to be delivered but now He had a man who was rsady to carry it. Isaiah had to proclaim to Israel that because they had turned from the sunshine of God’s love, which would have melted their hard hearts, it had for them be­ come the sunslune of His wrath, which could only progressively hard­ en them and turn them from Him, The same sunshine that melts the wax hardens the mud, The work of God in our day awaits the man or the woman of vision— the one who has /been prepared by confession and cleansing and who has then received the divine com­ mission. • , The Montgomery County Fair, Sept 4th Entries made to date indicate that the Montgomery County Fair, open­ ing Monday, Labor Day, Sept. 4th, and continuing for four days and four nights, will surpass all previous efforts both in quality o f exhibits ad quant­ ity o f shoutings.

HIIHIHIIHm...<n— —"Iiniii-IHI,, n IlluUlu “ Why on earth don’t you marry him ?" It was the question I heard put not long ago to an attractive young woman who, I happened to know, is a total abstainer. Her friend argued, *-Of course we all know he drinks a little now and then, but with his educa­ tion and background surely you’re not silly enough to be afraid he will ever be less than a perfect gentleman." I ditl not hear the reply but the question set me to thinking and it seems to me the young woman with abstinence principles might well have given any one o f many reasons for not marrying even a moderate drinker. For example, she might wisely have said: ■An intelligent, up-to-date woman knows that alcohol in any form can difficult Situations likely to be unfore- brought to bear upon them, she may, seen at tho time o f marriage. make an unfavorable comparison be- ______ tween them and her husband, When a wife sees the social cour- A hualmnd 8nd wife ghould thinlc age o f some fine young people, despite ^ ^ drink * like in order to in_ pressure aUre j^ p p ^ t possible marriage. the. intense advertising Aim Sheridan Starred featuring Lum & Abner’s Pine Ridge not P°ssibly provide for her husband Band.
