PAGE FOUR THE SALEMITE Tuesday, December 17, 1929. THE COLONIAL The boy who broke into the movies by making Cecil M. DeMille laugh during the making of “The Godless Girl” comes into his own in “The Sophomore,” a Pathe dialogue pic ture, which comes to the Colonial Theatre on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of tliis week. He is Eddie Quillan, youthful Pathe com edian, whose rapid rise from the comparative obscurity of a vaudeville performer to that of a screen star, lias been accomplished in less than two years. In this production Eddie is given his biggest chance, playing a wise cracking college boy with an over grown sense of liumor, which con stantly gets him into trouble. He loses his tuition fee shooting craps and someone unknown to him pays his fee to the faculty. This results in some amusing and high dramatic developments. Sally O’Neil, star of countless suc cessful screen features, plays the feminine lead opposite Eddie with Jeanette Loff in another important part. Others in the cast include Stanley Smith, Marilyn Morgan, Lew Ayres and Russell Gleason. THE AUDITORIUM Prepare for one of the best enter tainments of your lives next week, when the Fox Movietone Follies of 1929 will be shown at the Auditori um Theatre. Imagine a complete musical eom- dy—pretty girls, snappy dances, settings, numerous song hits—linked with an appealing story of the stage enacted by an all-star cast—then you have an idea of the treat in store for you. Sue Carol sings “The Break away”; Lola Lane sings “Big City Blues”; Dixie Lee sings “Why Can’t I Be Like You?” and David Percy sings the old ballad, “Pearl of Old Japan.” Besides the music you will admire the fashion pageant, you will laugh at the blockouts and enjoy the back stage adventures of the show folks. “The Follies of 1929” was at home this summer and the picture was held over for two weeks. It really is grand so don’t miss it,” says C. S. “Fox Movietone Follies,” Audi torium, Monday, Tuesday and Wed nesday, December 16, 17, 18. THE CAROUNA At last it is here—the picture we have long waited for—“Salute,” starring George O’Brien, supported by Helen Chandler. This picture was taken at Annapolis, which mak it the real thing. There is a foot ball game in it of course and no oth er but the Southern California foot ball team is playing in it—this is a real game and well worth a whole picture. This picture is at the Carolina Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday— Of course what’s on the last of the week—well does not the holiday be gin on Thursday? Don’t forget “Salute,” at the Car- lina Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- P. S.—It might possibly interest some of you to know that a girl who used to live in Eastern North Caro lina has a minor part in this pictjire —Or at least that is what she told us at Carolina finals. She is Mary Lou Ferrell. If you know her go to see “Salute” and try to find her. She may have been spoofing.—Editor. SUMMUM BONUM All the breath and the bloom of the year in the bag of one bee: All the wonder and wealth of the mine in heart of one gem; In the core of one pearl all the shade and the shine of the sea; Breath and bloom, shade and shine, wonder, wealth, and—how far above them— Truth, that is brighter than gem. Trust, that’s purer than pearl,—■ Brightest truth, purest trust in the universe—all were for me In the kiss of one girl. —Robert Browning. DR. JOHN R. MOTT SPEAKER AT CONFERENCE (Continued From Page One.) today is as never before in plastic condition. It is up to Christianity to determine in what mould it shall be cast, in mistrust, selfishness and hatred, or in unselfishness and pure altruism. Every Christian must face the situation and the fact that it is difficult cannot be a deterrent—going with Christ means renunciation. It is also a time of unprecedented urgency because of the rising spiritual tide. There is today a grow ing interest, questioning and inquiry for true religion. In all nations of the world there is a response from students to reality. Only in making the Gospel difficult can the Chris tian make it triumphant; Christ sum mons to the impossible. Finally, the situation is unprecedented in danger. First because of the corrupt influence of so-called Western civilzation on nations whose national foundation is weak. There is too much uncertain ty and confusion of thought on the part of all leaders. The leaders of the world have lost a sense of di rection, and a sense of mission. A third source of danger is the recent development of divisive influences, resulting in a warfare on all relig ions by modern disruptive economic theories which foster exploitation. There is a misunderstanding among the nations of the world, a lowering of American prestige among the na tions of Asia, Africa and Latin America, and a dissatisifaction with external arrangements. There is acute racial antagonism caused by changes of disposition and motives. The only remedy for the situation is the spread of Christianity in its purest form. In spite of the discouraging condi tions just enumerated, favorable signs, in Dr. Mott’s opinion, far exceed them. Improved means of communication, spread of interna tional, commercial, financial, and in dustrial relations, international ex change of students, the League of Nations, world court, Locarno agree ments, Hague agreements, Kellog Pact, and above all the world mis sion of Christianity, all are potent forces to draw mankind together. There are today thirty thousand mis sionaries abroad, who act as ambas sadors, interpreters, and mediators to break down the walls of misunder standing among the nations. In an swer to the question whether the nationals want missionaries. Dr. Mott stated that with the reservation that the people we send be the best that we have, all Christian nationals with whom he had talked stressed the urgency of more workers. They need missionaries to fill the gaps, to fill in the succession of those now there, to supercede incompetent workers, to keep from breaking down the missionaries who are now doing too much to make those who are there more highly productive, and to spread the work. The kind of people whom the nationals are peo ple of vision, people of personality with a willingness and power to take initiative, with staying powers, and with conviction and perseverance; people who have the power to keep on growing; people who go into training and stay in training longer than their predecessors; people with a social and ethical passion and con cern, great haters and lovers like their Master; people appreciative and tolerant of the truth and beauty in other religions; people with the ability to Co-operate; people with a vital personal experience of Christ. The'atmosphere was electric as Dr. Mott laid this challenge before the students. He closed his talk saying to those who had already formed their purpose to go to be firm and to allign themselves with the expansive purpose of Jesus Christ and to those who had not thought of it to give not only a part, but all of life to Christ, to choose and work and field which will enable them to use all their energies for Christ and to fill the greatest need in the world. There was the Scotchman who found a package of corn plasters and bought a pair of tight shoes. A HUMORIST “Ah, you say your sister makes up jokes? What magazine is she with?” “None. She works in a beauty parlor.” (Continued from Page One.) They were no more amazed by the sound of the voice than they had been by the light. For its tone was friendly, reassuring. “Fear not,” the voice said. Eveji with so mar velous a story to tell, God pan> ; 1 in the relating of it to c’lm th.* good n-en, to stay their fears, for He li ew that effioI ;r. ;y ?iuuo: come with fear. Then the angel voice de livered its marvelous message, tell ing the shepherds how gieatly fa vored they were in hearing first a story which would be known to .ill the people. “Unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.” Christ! The Mes siah! Christ! The word and its meaning echoed and re-echoed in their ears. The story handed down through the ages was true. All the hopes and prayers of generations were to be fulfilled and answered. The light and voice faded, leaving them aghast. Then they knew that others had heard and were glad for a multitude filled the Heavens praising* God and singing, first a doxology, “Glory to God in the Highest,” then a prayer, “On earth peace, good will toward men.” They sang and faded. The stars shone out . . . the valley was black . . . all was silent. Then the shepherds sprang up, talking of what they had seen and heard. Discussing what they should do. No command was given them. They believed, and their belief was shown in their hasty departure and climb up the rocky hill. They did not stay there in the field and con tinue to discuss as they could have done, because they believed. And setting out for Bethlehem they ar rived before dawn. What should they do next? Where should they go? They had been told to look for the Child in a man ger. In a stable! What could be more appropriate? Being shepherds, they surely would not scorn a stable. They walked up and down the quiet street until they found a stable whose lamp was lighted at this early hour. They knocked with gentle ness, and quietly entered, to find the Son of God lying on humble straw. He was wrapped in swaddling clothes, but round about Him shone a great light, the Light of Truti;. The shepherds were satisfied with whal they saw, and went away prais ing God. MRS. AGNES WINSLOW GIVES LECTURE HERE (Continued From Page One.) cess that should begin in childhood. Music has three appeals: physical, which is most instinctive, and is therefore stressed in the primary grades; emotional or spiritual, stressed in the intermediate grades; and intellectual, developed in Junior and Senior High Schools. There must always be a balance of the three appeals. In the Primary Grades, 75 per cent of the work is physical. The method of presenting a listening les son is as follows: The teacher plays a small part of a record and asks, “What does the music tell you to do?” The children then reply “Run,” “March,” “Hop,” according to the music played. The simplest rhyth mic response is marching. The teacher always tries by subtle ex pression to draw from the child his idea of what the music says to do. They key word in teaching apprecia tion is discrimination. Children always enjoy animal rhythms; they may imitate the move ments of animals suggested by the music. They may imitate also the playing of various instruments of the orchestra, drums, bugles, and the like. Through imitation and play, in the first grade may be laid the foundation for the teaching of rhythm. If the music depicts a story, the children should hear the story, but it should be secondary in import ance to what the music says. Chil dren should always be encouraged to dramatize what they hear. SALEM PUPILS GIVE RECITAL (Continued From Page One.) Wood’s “Bird of Love Divine,” in a charming soprano voice, followed by del Riego’s “Happy Songs.” Miss Doris Kimel followed the Glee Club’s group of three songs, delivering Rimsky - Korsakoff’s “Nightingale and the Rose,” with expressive effect and following this number with “Jesu Bambino,” a Christmas song by Yon. Mrs. J. Russell Perkins delighted the audience with the smooth rich quality of her singing in Franz’s “Widmung.” She achieved a telling climax in Secchi’s “Lungi dal carp bene.” Miss Annie Sue Sheet sang with lovely quality Schubert’s “la Pastorella” and “The Robin’s Song,” by White. Following her. Miss Eliz abeth Rose sang “L’Amour,” by Godard, and “Ich Frolle Nicht,” by Schumann. In the later number her appreciation of the emotional climax was most evident. The program was brought to a close by Miss Mary B. Williams, who sang Massenet’s “Elegie,” and Woodman’s “Birthday.” The latter number was sung with brilliant ef fect. Accompaniments for the sing ing were played in a finished manner by Misses Dorothy Thompson, Fran ces Jarratt, Elizabeth Willis and Ruth Marsden. Snores. “My,” said the husband, “that was a good sleep. Slept like a log.” “Yes,” answered the wife, “and with a saw going through it.” OH BOY! “The marvels of electricity have set me thinking.” “Yes, isn’t it wonderful what elec tricity can do?” ROMANY GOLD There’s a crackle of brown on the leaf’s crisp edge And the goldenrod blooms have be gun to feather. We’re two jolly vagabonds under a By the dusty road together. Could an emperor boast such a house The sky for a roof and for couch the clover? Does he sleep as well under silken flow:ers As we when the day is over? He sits at ease at his table fine. With the richest of meat and drink before him, I eat my crust with your hand in And your eyes are cups of a stronger Than any his steward can pour him. What if the autumn days are cold? Under one cloak we can brave the weather, A comrade’s troth is the Romany gold. And we’re taking the road together. —Amelia Josephine Burr. The Blueberry Blues.
