Girl Evangelist, 14, Wins Sixty
To Faith in Dr. Straton’s Pulpit
New York Herald-Tribune.
A flaxen-haired fourteen-year-old
girl preached Fundamentalism in the
pulpit of the Rev. John Roach Stra
: ton in Calvary Baptist Church and
at the end of .her exhortation con
verted aixty members of the audience.
Many who came to the altar at her
call were middle-aged men.
She was Mias Uldine Mabelle TJt
, ley, "the child evangelist," of Fresno.
. Qal. Dr. Straton called her "the
modern Joan of Art” .and "the most
extraordinary person in America to
day." The girl’s appearance,-her first
in New York, was preliminary to a
six weeks’ "old-time religions re
’ rival’’ she will conduct in tho fall.
She came from Indianapolis, where
she conducted a similar revival.
T idine left no .doubt she Was a
Fundamentalist. Her sermon dealt
with the faithfulness of the prophet
Elijah, ns contrasted with the disbe-
I lief ofthose about him.

, y°u when you say you believe in mir
acles and other fundamentals of the
Scriptures. They want to mqke fun
of you wheu vou say you believe that
Jesus was miraculously (yinreived yf
the Holy Ghost. We in America to
day need to stand up for God just as
Elijah did.”
There was a chorus of “aim-rs”
from the audience. Cries of "amen” '
interrupted her at the end of almost
every paragraph of her sermon and'
sometimes in the middle of sentences.-
The church was filled, with chairs in'l
the aisles.
Uldine had an ambition to be a
motion picture actress and was con
verted when she stepped into an
evangelical meeting while waiting for
a train to take her to a rehearsal of
a play. She was born in Durant,
Okla.

A BRITISH HOLLYWOOD- :
Alin is to Make England the Premier'
Picture-Producing Country of the
World, *
London. June 16.—A great deal I
has been said and written recently j
about the need of establishing the
British film ’industry on a satisfac
tory and permanent basis. And now
talk is becoming action. A great new
studio, four hundred acres in extent,
is being built at Elstree. and is ex
pected to be ready shortly. The first
pkrtfire to be produced there will
prtibnbl.v be "shot” this summer.
"Better than Hollywood" nas ueen
(hc idral which the founders of the
new studio have kept before them.
They claim that BHstree beats the
centre of the American motion-pic
ture industry both in size and equip
ment. and that, if all goes wcH, it
majr yet become the acknowledged
“capital” of the world's film indus
try.
Studios, complete with equipment
and all the necessary labor, are to
be let to producers who want to turn
out their pictures in ideal condi
tions. They will save money, too. It
is estimated that when the plant at
Elstree is completed, it will cut-
Idown about one quarter the expense .
jtof producing a picture. This is made'
. possible by the economy in time,
'which is the time, above ail otheis,
I that runs up production^-,bills in the j
| film industry. / j
j Instead of having one stage only
and waiting for the* sets to be ebang-1
ed between every scene, the producer
who uses Elstree can have as many
stqges as lie likes, all ready at one
andthe same time.. So, after one
scene had been "shot” the director
and actons would simply move on to j
another. I ]
There are to be eight great studios
and the same time. So, after one i
scenes at Elstree. It is believed that (
American, as well as produc- J
ers. may use the place. But its at
mosphere will Be definitely British; i
and the aim of the enteriirise is to 1
make Britain the premier picture- '
producing country in the world. i
