of The Life of Christ preceded by
an Interesting and Informative
screen story of the Little Minister,
Rev. A. Mark Wallock, who for 24
years directed the great religious
pageants at Wichita Mountain, near
Lawton, OkUu. which form the
background of the film.;
This picture marks th first time
in more than 50 years of motion
picture history a producer has
'gamboled' with casting veteran ac
tors and actresses alongside rank
amateurs. Hollywood's young Ohio-
born producer.. Kroger Babb, with
Associate Producers J. S. Jossey
and Neil E. Began, must be given
credit for doing it and success
fully. Using a Hollywood -cast In
termixed with four citizens of Law
ton, OkUu, they have told the story
of the Little Minister interestingly
entertainingly and to a finish with
a fine moral. And In telling it they
take the audience to the famous
'Holy City' of the Wiohitas where
one sees portrayed the Story of
Jesus by an all-amateur cast of
over 3,000. Millard Coody as Jesus
and Darlene Bridges as the Virgin
Mary are stand-outs Jn the more
than 100 speaking parts of the Bi
ble sequences. Coody is a Lawton
bank-teller in real life and Mrs
Bridges a housewife and mother.
"The Prince of Peace" also ser
ves as the introductory vehicle for
a new 6-year old child star Ginger
Prince. This youngster gives a most
creditable first-picture performan
ce and besides displaying some fine
acting talent and handling some
difficult lines well, she sings with
an ease and freshness that wins her
audiences immediately.
Ginger sings three new song3
"Down In Oklahoma". "Riant Un
der My Nose." and "The Turtle"
as weU as "Holy, Holy, Holy.'-In
her first starring role she corn-
owes rare poise and natural sweet
ness.
A superb musical score from the
pen of gifted Eddie Kay back
grounds the picture, with several
numbers by the Hallelujah Choir.
"The Prince of Peace" is a film
you won't to miss during its curreit
engagement It will provide an as
oroing evening's entertainment ...
it's one you'll probably remember
for a long time to come.

A Most Unforgetable Char eclefi
Br MRS. H. JOYNER
The most unforcetable character
I have ever known was my grand
father, the late Dr. w. r. Mcvuray
at ninhUnd. oa. Havlna been dead
twenty years, he represents a per
fect illustration of the old fashioned
"Country Doctor" that Isn't seen
any more .He started his practice IB
the "bag and saddle", days wnen
there were no cars or telephones
and medical practice was a t the
best, most primitive. v;-j,:WJ.
, As a child, he wouia entertain
tu hv the hour tellina of his early
experiences. On being called In the
middle of freezing nights to penorm
and appendectomy or even ampu
tate a 1 and for light, a small
kitchen lantern. He had the name
of never having lost a pneumonia
natlent or a tvohold oatient until
he lost his only son with typhoid.
This took the heart out of him for
a long time, and it was many
months before his hearty laugh
heard attain:
The story we so loved to hear was
the ana he told about the dope ad
dict. On being called late one night
to relieve a woman who claimed
ha waa in meat naln. he filled his
needle with clear water and punc
tured her arm. Soon, she told him
that she was about easy and that
he could go. He then told her that
he had only given her clear water.
She became so enraged that she
chased him all the way home curs
n him everv iten of the way. He
cured her of her awful habit, and
lost her as a patient.
While he was most frank, gruff
and plain spoken, ne also naa tne
rare quality of tenderness for the
illiterate and unfortunate. On one
occasion when he was visiting a
typhoid patient, the mother gave
him several empty capsules, tening
him that she bad taaen gooa care
of the "little cuds". He accepted
them with a straight face and told
her that from now on to let the
child swaUow the "cups" that con
tained the medicine.
Dr. Willie was never known to
send out" a bill, and yet he lived
well. It was laughingly told that on
leaving a patient who was about
well, he would say, "You'll be up
by Saturday, so come by to see me
when you come to town and be
sure to bring me a "good smelling
ham." As I look back over my
childhood, it seems that we always
had negroes to step on. Always
several loafing around, but wanting
to "work a spell" to" pay a little
debt they owed Doctor. But for all
the colored help, his office was a
HUumr as he never allowed his
desk to be dusted and forbade us I
to even move one Item. It was an '
nfnrvivahia act to move anything

be would invariably fold them and
niare the miinder the mattress. He
would buuy us gum, and give us an
empty aspirin box to keep it in so
that we could keep it indefinitely.
But while he stinted himself, he
was most generous in buying his
mnrfdaua-htera nice clothes. The
highlight of my life as a child was
when he'd take all tnree ox us io
the near dtv of Columbus. Ga.. and
truly "dress us up", as he'd call it
By this time be had acquirea a moa
l T Ford, hut ha would drive so
slowly that it would take the en
tire day to drive the 35 miles there
and back. ; "; -."
As we grew into young woman
hood, he became very curious about
Mir "rmirtlne-" Manv embarassina
moments we suffered as on seeing
us get into a car with two iaas, ne
would yell as loudly as he could,
which was terrific, and ask one of
the boys to get into tne uaca; seai
I as it wasn't lady-like to sit between
two males. We weren't auowea to
sit with our legs crossed, and for
smoking, that was completely ta
boo, as only "hussies" smoked.
Toward the end of his life he de
veloped, a great love for reading
western stories and seeing western
pictures. This helped -us in. enter
taining him. We used to remark
that If we could keep him "out
west" he wouldn't have tunc to re
form us. We had to take turns go
ing to the westerns witn nun. jsacn
dreaded her turn, as now he was
almost deaf, and would yell all
during the picture, "Hey, did you

adolescent age, we were most em
harassed when people would look
around to see where the loud voice
was coming from. Well did I remem

Invited to attend by a new minis
ter, he shocked him by telling him
that it didn't, take much preaching
for him," that was once or twice a
year was all. he needed or could
take. He ever championed the "un
der dog" and loved dearly, the man
who made his living by the sweat
of his brow. Above all things he
disliked the so-called' "Big Shot'
When he passed away at 72, many
came to view his remains as it lay
in state in the little white church,
His unselfish life of service can
best be summed up In the words of
the old colored woman Who, as she
gazed into the casket, exclaimed,.
"Oil God have mercy; what will us
pore colored folks do now? No- one
but Doc will ever serve us pore
colored folks as kindly and sweetly
as The Doctor."
