As one commentator puts it, "we very much fear that about two-thirdi of what we see will be "B" pictures masquerading as features"; and al- ready there are rumors of an organ- ization being set up to pay the fines of exhibitors who evade the quota. In spite of this, British studios are stepping up their schedules so as to increase the number of pic- tures they turn out. One of these, now ncaring completion, will have the Canadian actor, Robert Beatty, in the leading role. Titled "Another Shore" it is a comedy about a philosopliical young man who decides, as plenty of others have done, that work is a waste of time. So he sits all day long on a bench at Stephen's Green, in Dub- lin, or on the steps of that city's Bank of Ireland, waiting to sav« some rich and eccentric benefactor from a fatal accident. Soiinds like something which, with proper dir- ection, might have a whole lot of possibilities. » » « Jimmy Durante used to complain that "everybody wants to get into the act"; but it remained for one of the latest of the myriad radio quiz programs to prove it. In fact this particular program proves that people are crazy enough to pay good money for the privilege of hearing their own names come over the air waves. Although I haven't yet happened to hear it, I understand the idea of the show is something like this. They have a Board of Experts, «omething after the style of "In- formation Please". You send in a â- Question â€" paying a dollar for the privilege â€" and it is put up to the •xperts. Should they answer your question correctly, it costs you an- other five dollars. All the proceeds ^o to Charity, who must almost be tied with her sister Liberty for the number of crimes committed in her name, and it is reported that the Questions, and money orders, are fairly rollinp in. » ♦ * For some time different Holly- wood film companies have been »fter Sjr Harry Lauder â€" remember Magic charm for a fast giowing fkll She'll feel so pretty in this iwingy little frock with Its detach- able pepluml F.asy-sew Pattern 4 580 is designed to give confidence!

ISSUE 34 â€" 1948 Harry and his kilts and his cane? â€" for permission to make a picture based on his stage career. Up to now, however, the veteran Scots comedian has turned a deaf ear to their pleadings â€" and to the huge offers which accompanied them. But now, from Edinburgh, comes word that the "wee man wi' the mighty voice" has at last relented; and some time next year Sir Harry will be travelling to America again to supervise the script and the selection of the actor who will por- tray him on the screen. According to Sir Harry's stipula- tions, the film must be made in Technicolor, and some of the scenes must be actually taki n in hi.', native Scotland. Just for the record I'd like to remark, in passing, that unless they adopt the "Jolson Story" technique â€" that is, by means of old record- ings, put the real Lauder voice in his portrayer's mouth, the producers of the Lauder epic are going to have a hard time satisfying the old-timers at least. For millions in Canada and throughout the world can testify that Harry Lauder, quite unaided, could get more power, volume, feel- ing and pathos into his voice than modern croonsters and sob-artists can do with a whole studio-full of mikes, amplifiers and other mechani- cal substitutes for the real thing. + * * "If James Cagney and his pro- ducer-brother William had done nothing more than exhibit the cour- age to put "The Time of Your Life" ' n the screen the film industry would still owe them a real debt of gratitude," is the way News Week starts its enthusiastic review of the new picture of that name. Seen in the film are Jimmy Cagney himself, James Barton as the tall- talkin' Indian scout, William Ben- dix as "Nick", Wayne Morris and injJSIM 3l[\ SB 'X3u8e3 3UtlE3f vagrant. YOURHANV ' Araotb Dear Mr. Arnott: Your hand- writing column interests me very much and I look for it each week in our local newspaper. Please analyse my handwriting as soon as conveni- ent. Your hand- writing is unus- ual in that every letter is pointed, giving a sharp or wedge shaped outline to the writing. Take the letter "y" for instance; notice the up- stroke, how it moves off to the right of the downstroke without making a loop which is usually seen in this letter. Also the body of the "y" comes down sharply and goes off to the riglit, giving it a very dolinite wedge shaped appearance. Tlie letters ''u" and "r" have the same distinguisliin^; features. This style of writing indicates an aggressive nature, one whiili makes you impatient with otlicrs in your endeavour to ^et thinfis done. You drive yourself with all possible haste and become annoyed wlien your plans do not materialize quick- ly. There are good points, too, about this style of script. It shows that you have ambition to be suc- cessful in any enterprise you may undertake and that you do not mind competition with others as you can think and act quickly and are ever ready to take up any reasonable challenge to .show your powers of aggressiveness. for » brief analytit of your char- otter tend a sampli of handtvriHitg, with • ttamped, ttlf-addressed tnvr hp*. h All* S.

ANN£ HIRSTJ "DEAR ANNE HIRST: Recently I read that column you wrote about the wife who treats her husband so well. Waking hira gently, prepar- ing his break- fast, sending him off in an easy frame of mind. That, to me, is the ideal situa- tion. "I am soon to be married to a girl that I think would fit into this picture without any trouble. That I'm sure of, 100 per cent. "But the boys in my office (all married) are ridiculing me. They paint dark and dreary pictures of married life, and give discouraging stories of their own plight. All true, they swear. They claim that the wife you mentioned is next to an impossibility, and that I should take the advice of real, local and known cases and be guided by them â€" not won over by fictional stories of Utopian dreams. Will you an- swer me? "It is seldom I see a man using your column for advice. I (and I'm not ashamed to admit it) am an avid follower, and I am taking advantage of your all-covering col- umn to ask for your answer. I hope you'll print it, so that the scoffers (who claim to be my friends) will unwittingly become the recipients of some vcrv fine advice. J. T.

The Gardener In corduroys and coat of brown Old Joe the gardener goes To wage his war on snail and slug And tend the early rose. He plants his flowers ia ordered rows Like soldiers on parade And seldom stops as Daddy does To lean upon his spade. And now upon the spangled grasa His eager glances spy A host of daisies, buttercups Their faces to the sky And tho' I begged he'd spare a few Old Joe began to mow. He simply shook his head and said "Them's weeds, and weeds must go." But summer sun and gentle rain Made lovely growing weather And soon In spite of old Joe's zeal Were flowers and weeds together. Then old Joe growled and scratched his head And muttered. "Well I never I As sure as I'm a gardening man Thetii weeds be powerful clever." And as he slowly turned his back I thought I heard Joe sieh And though you won't befieve me A daisy winked her eye. â€"Irene Byera (In the Christian Science Monitor) RUBOC/r..

Lars* Iconomtcal Six* MINARD'S LIM I M EN T «DAY SCHOOL LESSON I f By Rev. R. Barclay Warren Dorcas, a Woman of Good Works Acts 9:36 4a Golden Textâ€" Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Matt. 25:40. People often em;)liasize one phase of divine truth to the neglect of others. One group, conscious of the extreme to which another ha- gone, proceeds to the opposite ex- treme. Some have sought to earn their way to heaven by good works. This is contrary to Bible teaching. ".\ man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ." "By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, li't- any man should boast." On the other hand some have truly taught that man is saved by faith but have failed to urge tint those who believe in Jesus Chriift should be careful to maintain goM works. Faith without works il dead. Dorcas is an example of a Chria- tian whose faith was demonstrated by good works. Her labours were vA for the sake of publicity but for those in need. Widows wept aa4 showed Peter the coats and gar< ments which she had made for them. Peter prayed and Dorcas was r» stored to life. This was not merely a reward for her good works, b«l one of the signs wrought by the apostles, by which many were coo- verted to the Christian faith and believed on the Lord To do good works Is to ministei to the needs of our fellowmen. Ia doing so we are ministering' ti Jesus, who said, "Inasmuch as ye have done it imto one of the least of these niy brethren, ye have doM it unto Me".
