best to Spirit and perfect better to all others He gives When the things in and Kingdom If one likewise a gives to good By TED GILL HOLLYWOOD Talent and temperament twin trademarks of show business have gone hand in hand in this film capital for so long that today lt is no wonder studios sometimes feel compelled to use a little gimmick as a player to keep volatile actors and actresses In line Every now and then spirited feuding breaks out generally because the stars want more money or find some objection to roles assigned them if a compromise can't be reached studios sometimes bring out a player as a heavy-heavy over the star's head The complaining actor then is told pretty frankly he can either who earlier had been brought and signed him to a film contract And that's how the actor known as Ricardo Cortez came to the screen Ironically Valentino took ill and died without making another picture Another strange case was that of George Nardlli he" was brought out as a to Adolphe Menjou when the latter was disputing his salary with his studio However the matter not only was eventually compromised to satisfaction but Menjou took such a liking to Nar-delli that he made him his stand- Singer Dennis Morgan once was used as a throat to Alan Jones politics and human relations there is no such progress The same old forms are used generation after generation with an occasional innovation Surely that is because of the divinity that is an attribute of the imagination Men are seen at their best as they dream plan and work for the things of the spirit In these they can soar unhin dered bv clinging multitudes not capable of being carried along In the business of administering business politics and government they must deal with the human element of which there are all types and kinds most of it not responsive to spiritual stimulation Thus we come to realize that upon imagination civilization has developed It is the eye of faith and the essence of personality Please allow the new word imagineering as descriptive of the method bv which worthy visions are made practical and serviceable Longest Movie Be Seen By Film Fans BURBANK Calif Magic longest and possibly most Important war production has been completed and is ready for distribution by Walt studio: but John and Joan fan will never see it Out of the incubator of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck ulins has come Aircraft Production eroc sponsored by tne Navy bureau ot Aeronautics and designed to show tne small manuiacuaer now he can help to sweu aircralt production The Him has no glamor names nothing ox tne Hollywood pattern It runs 30 a uve-hour show and the underlying theme la Adm King's statement: boys need planes now not next year We must do the best we can with what got" Let Lt A Barry UJ3N assigned by the Navy Bureau of Aeronautics to supervise production tell you why the film was produced: Simply it shows the peacetime manufacturer how he can re-tool his plant for wartime production of plane paru" films also will serve a useful secondary purpose as an lnuo duction to employe training pro grams and as an aid to the subcontractor who suddenly finds he now is making wing-tips Instead of waste-paper baskets is designed as an inspiration to the small sub-contractor to get into war production and to help relieve the burden on the larger aircraft plants message emphasized throughout the film is that manufacturers must make the best of the machinery at hand now rather than wait for elaborate and expensive machinery which now Is not available" The film will be distributed in ts entirety or In parts depend ng on what phase of sheet metal aircraft production sub-contract lng a manufacturer wishes to undertake CLEAN-UP CAMPAIGN Feb 30 Plans are underway here for a community-wide clean-up campaign it was announced by county health officials who stated that particular attention would be paid to investigating eating places in Milledgeville Assisting lealth officials in mapping plana for the drive were Dr Guy Wells president of Georgia State College for Women Col Jenkins president of Georgia Military College Mayor Ritchie and representatives of the Naval Training School for WAVER By CHARLES SMALL So this week I decided to be a combination of Philo Vance Hawkshaw and Edgar Hoover And two Broadway columnists sent me on my detectiving way First in Walter WincheU's column which appears when he is not doing other things there was ah Item saying that Patricia Wilder who was reported stranded in South America was actually married to a rich man in Buenos Aires Then Dorothy Kilgallen whose column sometines appears in the space reserved for Winchell indicated that Wilder is broke and stranded in New York" Now those two items excited me It was a case of is she or she Patricia Wilder so as not to hold you in suspense any longer is Honey chile Wilder Honeychile Wilder is a former Maconite and the daughter of Mr and Mrs Wilder of 2111 Second street Papa Wilder is a smoke-eater on the Macon Fire Department Well I thought if anyone should know which of the columnists was correct it would be the Wilder family Co at near midnight the other night I called the Wilder home A young lady answered I asked her where Patricia was She said the know and that mother was in bed She agreed however to ask Mrs Wilder which was correct Was Winchell or Kilgallen the best informed? I waited and in a few minutes the young lady returned to the phone and said: Wilder doesn't know she heard from Patricia in some time" 1 gave up and you can make your own choice There must be something ominous about the name of Flynn when the initial appears before lt Some years ago when I was with the Fox Film Corporation I was well acquainted with a young director by the name of Emmett Flynn High movie moguls predicted great things for the -young man He directed John Gilbert in the lete star's first full length feature The Count of Monte Cristo Success was In his hands But Hollywood went to his head He made one or two good pictures later but he never quite reached the heights He got into some kind of trouble and I after serving prison sentence he I took to drink and later died broke Now come Ed Flynn who tried to have himself chosen as and wanted to represent this country in Australia Some of the sounder senators said and Flynn's name was withdrawn And take the case of Errol Flynn He is in all probability through in pictures The one thing that might have redeemed him would have been had he enlisted In the armed forces But he is classified and that is out so There must be something ominous about the name Flynn when an appears before it Probably the happiest person at Villa Grill the other night was Linda Sylvester Linda was the honor guest at a birthday party given by her father and mother Lt and Mrs Ken Sylvester who once lived in Lexington Ky but are now more intimately associated with Camp Wheeler Seated at the table with the honored guest and her parents was Lt and Mrs Herbert Anderson conversation with the saleslady she told me of her nephew who had been severely hurt during a football game at college She said he was running a temperature of around 105 was vomiting blood and that his leg was so badly in- gred that nothing could be done it Well lt flashed through me that he was the son of the Living God and as such had never been In an accident nor injured that in Christ His true self he was well whole perfect and complete That was what I saw and felt and lo the miracle took place! He is now well and perfectly healed" Here the healing came without conscious effort It came by presenting the person in need to Jesus and by seeing that in Him there is freedom from sin sickness and death Outside of His presence and will there are all kinds of evil disease and imperfections In Him and In His will there is perfect healing and perfect everything for all -and for the whole of life MOSELEY SEE No no such word In common usage but since there one needed to describe an occupation It can be made up If purists and philol- ogists object let I a i neerlng describes the work of those who imagine things to be done: a situation rk to be remedied or a condition to be created and then finds ways to achieve results It is easily the most interesting work in the world and among the most useful Research is a part of it for the honest researcher goes look- i lng never knowing what he will find Maybe a pot gold: maybe a good Idea: maybe nothing at all But the search is fascinat lng Because not reducible to rule and formula the faculty of imag- ination is not fully trusted and never 1 respected as with such terms as sanity industry relia bility and the like OWE MUCH TO IMAGINATION And yet science can never know how much it owes to imagination indeed the two make imagineering Just now when so many customs' and beliefs are proving un- tenable pictures arise In the mind of a future that will com- bine the best of what has been a an avoidance of what is now endured through necessity A better social order can come only because it can be visualized: dreamed aboutf longed for and then sought your castles in the air' Mid Thoreau where they should be Now ao ahead and put foundations under them" He thus describes the business of Imagineering The child spinning dreams the Kt gathering impressions of uty and rhythm the reformer theorizing a Utopian social order all these practical men despise as unworthy and chimeri- But someone first imagined child labor outlawed Some one first dreamed that men could fly like birds Nearly every modern convenience enjoyed today was wif a vision an idea or a dream When it is remembered that Ignorant people often have lively imaginations but since they lack the mental training to relate their dreams to life the world is infinitely poorer because they were not educated Therein lies one of the real tragedies erf life not only 'for the person so limited but for those who would have benefltted hope of race The best hope the race can have is in the fact that what-ever the mind can conceive can be sometime by someone put Into practical form it is dear that greatest progress is made in those fields that are most attractive to the imagination science the advances have been marvelous In the arts music poetry in drama

Than 100 Stage Beauties 'In Police Show One of the most elaborate stage shows ever staged in Middle Georgia will bring to the Macon audi torium stage more than 100 star performers during the week of March 9-14 when the Macon Police Department and the Auxiliary Poiice Battalion present the Macon Police Follies Headlining the list of entertainers who will take part in the extravagant musical revue and variety show are many nationally-known stage screen and radio stars And- rounding out the two and-a-half hour production are more than 50 stage beauties picked from Broadway shows for their eye-pleasing personalities PRECISION DANCERS Twenty perfectly-matched precision dancers billed for the Police Follies as the Bluecoat Chorus will give added wallop and eye-appeal when they go-into their unusual routine of precision and military dance routines That was the set-up this week i police and auxiliary officers intensified their ticket sale campaign in preparation for the big benefit show which is expected to give the local law-enforcement agencies sufficient funds to mod ernlze the regular department with badly-needed police equipment and to permit the auxiliaries to establish and maintain several community police headquarters in now-unprotected residential areas Smith general show committee secretary announced yesterday that a city-wide sales campaign would be carried through to completion during the coming two weeks remaining before the show opens Its one-week run here on March 9 REVUES COMBINED The Macon Police Follies Incidentally la actually constituted through the combination of two large Broadway revues which have been especially woven together into the most elaborate revue ever staged here Smith said Under the supervision of Joe End New York producer the two full-length productions have been combined Into a stage extravaganza of a size seldom presented on a single stage he explained This was made possible Smith said by the fact that the Macon auditorium's unusually large stage permits larger acts and more elaborate stagings than is possible in moat theaters As a result according to the show secretary Maconltes will see what in reality is two shows In one with the most colorful stage settings ever brought to the local auditorium LONG LIST OF STARS Included In the long list of stars for the Police Foil lei will be Dorothy Ryan and Joe Morris an outstanding comedy team fresh from a long run on Broadway: the lively Byrnes Sisters In singing and dancing numbers that have made the three clever artists nationally known on the variety circuits- Mary Mario Impersonator and star of the well-known J5' AYi accept the role or go on a salary suspension while the player does the part usually they capitulate and the player is forgotten but sometimes the latter goes on to become a star in his own right This practice harks back to the days of Italian-born Alphonso Guglielmi former New York hotel! dishwasher whom you will recall better as Rudolph Valentino At the peak of his film stardom Valentino refused to make a certain picture without more money during an argument between the actor and his director Rex Ingram in front of a hotel cigar counter during a party Ingram exploded: "Why you Ingrate! I can pick a man right out of this crowd hero and make him as big a star i you are" Then fingering a tong black panatela quizzically he added: name him after fH Ingram then walked over and picked out a handsome member of the crowd named Joseph Krants show Forty-Five Minutes of Broadway Felicia Shore novelty artist: the Earl Lindsey Girls a highly-trained dancing groun'of lovely youngsters:

any performance Smith said Flesh of His Flesh Of late new meaning and life and transforming glory have been given of the words of It is give than and words of St Paul: in union with Jesusl of his body and of and of his bones" as it is to receive receive Jesus and His His perfect love and everything else lt is still Join Him in giving to what He is and w-hat to us you give out Jesus and of Jesus you are always Jesus and in the Spirit and Heaven of Jesus gives out any evil he puts himself in and becomes tragic part of the evil he others Others -you turn the evil to your good and to the good of others But if you do evil to others you yourself become the incarnation and victim of the evil you do or would do to others One of the first applications of the new meaning of is better to give than receive" was to see to it that even when on a street car it is better to stand than lt is to keep someone eisestandina Therets eise standing mere is no limit to Its application and every time you apply lt even In a little way and do lt in love you are simply thrilled with God-approval and self approval To see and rejoice that as we receive Jesus and enter into Him we become members of His body of His flesh and His bones as well as of His mind and Spirit and Life Is to be made in a new way a partaker of His life and health and wonder and joy and bliss and glory In the union with Him we are life of His life love of His love light of His light health of His health victory of His victory We are even eyes of His eyes ears of His ears feet of His feet and hands of His hands: and we are to be perfect every thing of His perfect everything Truly He is our meat our drink and our everything Without Him we are nothing of any value With Him all things are ours As Jesus Himself put it unless we eat His flesh and drink His blood we have no life in us His meat was to do the will of His that sent Him and our meat is to do His will Joining him in bringing the triumph of His will and Kingdom on earth Recent letters have brought me rase things A friend near Mor gantown Va writes thst the Lord has made known to her that she has been putting too much stress on religious conditions of Morgantown and not enough of Jesus In her He has also made known to her that if she would Jive Him her life He would trsns-er it and for her to enter into His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise A North Carolina minister with a large church who had felt that his failure to have always been patient and loving was due to his nerves writes me that a rheck-up reveals his physical condition splendid and that all that has been the mateer with him was the devil snd that he is dedicating himself to vital fruitbearing union with Jesus As a colored sister put lt she found her bad nerves were due to her disposition and not her disposition to her nerves A Washington friend who has experimented with present- day schools of metaphysics and who recently turned to Jesus and received the baptism

lead with Fred Astaire in a picture after Ginger Rogers who had been slated for the role displayed an untimely utu1 streak of temperament while Jack La Rue and Humphrey Bogart both have been used as throats to George Raft Katherine Sergava was used as a threat against Marlene Dietrich who had been used in a siml lar capacity against Greta Garbo while Mary Miles Inter and Lila Lee both were used
