Bible Views

Pastors
mwO THOUSAND minister, school
teacher, clnb leaders, jude,t
for&eya . a-ad civic leaders. It 1 eald,
- Jammed - the auditorium of the Uni
versity I of Southern California, on a
recent ; evening to witness a preview
of the latest series of Bible film stories
produced by Sacred films Incorporated
of Burbank. Cal. ' -.
' For tne'first time since It opened its
loor, California's great university
Tent oij record as sponsoring: a motion
picture j production. Thte university Is
one of jthe" Methodist faith and form
erly would not entertain showings of
any nature In their buildings. Editors
of Los Angeles press claim that this
Is the igTeatest body of social 'workers
who have -ever turned out for such an
occasion.' "It marks a milestone in the
prorress of the motion picture, and
Is another step forward in dissolving
.the line of cleavage between the theatre-
and the church,' said the news
paper men present at the exhibition.
4 Prelloinary to the screening of the
"Abraham Series" of the Bible stories,
which 1 are now making their appear
ance on the screen of the Capitol the
atre iifc New Tork city, the Rev. Dr.
Harwood Huntington, nationally prom
inent clergyman, epoke on the project.
He said in part: "Hollywood is not
Hollywood, neither is it the dreadful
place it has been painted. Better mo
tion pictures are and will be made, but
the Industry must work unhampered,;
It defects .will soon be overcome by;
the producers themselves and all thej
censorship bodies in the world will notj
be able to improve an art about which
they know nothing. Our 'part in this
great Industry is to present via the;
notion picture "theatre, a reverent, i
faithful non-sectarian film -version of
i the Book- of Books the oldest stories;
In the newest interpretation, numtniy,
.interesting, historically correct. The
rerdict lies in your hais."
. Next Dr. Edgar James Banks was.
Introduced to the audiences His ap
pearance was acknowledged with great
acclaim by the educators and ministers
In the audience.-- He Is famous as an
explorer, author and lecturer, and has
won renown as field director of the
Babylonian expedition, -, of the Uni
versity of Chicago. Dr. Banks is the
first great educator to enter the film
Industry and his work is being watched
with much interest. To Dr. Banks has
fallen the unique privilege of taking
archaeology from subjects 'considered
dty and uninteresting and making of it
a living thing, bringing back the vision
of the centuries ago.
' Jr. Banks said, "I speak as a teacher
and scholar who 10 years ago would
have -scoffed at the idea of devoting
the labors of a lifetime to the motion
picture, but when convinced that, mj
efforts would enhance the value of the
historical accuracy of the Bible films
I did not hesitate in casting my lot
with an - art that is destined to do
more for education than all the text
bocks L-vcr printed . Heretofore I have
been era the outside looking in. I was
lit sympathy with rigid censorship
arguments because I saw the situation
only from one angle. Now I am on
the Inside looking out and am con
vinced that pictures are assuming a
- unore wholesome aspect, and sincerely
believe that th?so Bible films arfr a
distinct contribution to the new cinema
art.. The pictures we will exhibit for
you tonight speak for themselves." !
m Following the showing of six -episodes,
eeveral clergymen said to news
paper t-reporters : '"We have Just seen
In1 pictures what we have been trying
to ray -f r .yirsi Blshoft Stevens -of
the' diocestt of Ios Angelei, said :"The
-dramatic power, the archaelogical -correctness
and fajthfulnesa of these reel
make them of exception value for pur
poses ! of entertainment and instruc
tion." 1
The-Melhodist ministers were of the
opinion that the theatres showing the
.reels would win the cooperation of.
every clergyman. The newspapers
used big apace prior to and after show
ing. The Loe Angeles Times used a
full page of illustrations the Sunday
luwwuii etniDiuon.

Washing Dished
6 ' , 1
By fVaada Hawley . j
My first prof essional work was con
cert piano work.; J t
My next was before Ithe motion pli-i
ture cfimera. . , j
Both of these jobs Iwere and have
been a delight to me. J i
There was one job, fhowever, whiah
I always hated and tried to avoid, arid
it was my love of tftxe first named
work which provided me with the way
out. ' ' i
That . Job was one which : 1 think
nearly every woman,; detests wash
ins: dishes. r . ,' i
When I was In my early teens. ny
mother used to ask me to wash the
dishes, but I was generally one jump
ahead of her and was to be found very
energetically practicing at the piano
and training my vote. Of course rjiy
mother was hesitant tb Interrupt such
enthusiastic application on my part (to
the study of music, wftich she was . de
sirous should be among my accom
plishments. So she generally excused
me from the job. I didn't mind dust
ing the furniture, setting the table jor
putting the house in ijorder. but when
it came to the, dishes I did a lot jof
fast thinking to get ont of the 'job. I
So I might readily cbnclude with the
philosopher that a seeming r unpleas
antness is often a blessing in disguise,
Iand fleclar that my nearly success
certain work was duelia a measure
mj energetic application to" the study
oi me piano ana in voice at aisn
washing times. -
