From England' comes word that
the new Quota Act, which stipu-
lates that British cinemas must de-
vote 45 per cent of their "first fea-
ture" playing time—plus 25 per cent
of their remaining screen time—to
British -made films,. is already caus-
ing plenty of dissension..
As one commentator puts it, "we
very much fear that about two-thirds
of what we see will be "B" pictures
masquerading as features"; and al-
ready there are rumors of an organ-
ization being set up to pay the fines
of exhibitors who evade the quota.
In spite of this, British studios
are stepping up their schedules so
as to increase the number of pic-
tures they turn out. One of these,
now nearing completion, will have
the Canadian actor, Robert Beatty,
in the leading role.
Titled "Another Shore" it is a
comedy about a philosophical young
man who decides, as plenty of others
have done, that work is a waste of
time. So he sits -all day long on a
bench at Stephen's Green, in Dub-
lin, or on the steps of that city's
Bank of Ireland, waiting to save
some rich and eccentric benefactor
from a fatal accident. Sounds like
something which, with proper dir-
ection, might have a whole lot of
possibilities.

Jimmy-Durante used to complain
that "everybody wants to get into
the act"; but it remained for one
of the latest of the myriad radio
quiz programs to prove it. In fact
this particular program proves that
people are crazy enough to pay
good money for the privilege of
hearing their own names come over
the air waves.
Although I haven't yet happened
to hear it, I understand the idea of
the show is something like this.
They have a Board of Experts,
something after the style of "In-
formation Please". You send in a
question—paying a dollar for the
Privilege—and it is put up to the
experts. Should they answer your
question correctly, it costs you an-
other five dollars. All the proceeds
go to Charity, who must almost be
fled with her sister Liberty for the
number of crimes committed in her
name, and it is reported that the
questions, and money orders, are
fairly rolling in.

Harry and his kilts and his cane?
for permission to make a picture
based on his stage career. Up to
now, however, the veteran Scots
comedian has turneda deaf ear to
their pleadings—and to the huge
offers which accompanied then.
But now, from Edinburgh, conies
word that the "wee man wi' the
mighty voice" has at last relented;
and some time next year Sir Harry
will be travelling to Atnerica again
to supervise the script and the
selection of the actor who will por-
tray
him on the screen.
According to Sir Harry's stipula-
tions, the film must be made in
Technicolor, and some of the scenes
must be actually taken in his native
Scotland.
Just for the record I'd like to
remark, in passing, that unless they
adopt the "Jolson Story" technique
—that is, by means of old record-
ings, put the real Lauder voice in
his portrayer's mouth, the producers
of the Lauder epic are going to have
a hard time satisfying the old-timers
at least. For millions in Canada
and throughout the world can testify
that Harry Lauder, quite unaided,
could get more power, volume, feel-
ing and pathos into Isis voice than
modern croonsters and sob -artists
can do with a whole studio -full of
mikes, amplifiers and other mechani-
cal substitutes for the real thing.

"If James Cagney and his pro-
ducer -brother William had done
nothing more than exhibit the cour-
age to put "The Time of Your Life"
n the screen the film industry
would still owe them a real debt of
gratitude," is the way News
Week starts its enthusiastic review
of the new picture of that name.
Seen in the film are Jimmy Cagney

Dear Mr. Arnott: Your hand-
writing column interests me very
much and I look for it each week in
our local newspaper. Please analyse
my handwriting as soon as conveni-
ent.
Your hand-
writing is unus-
ual in that every
letter is pointed,
giving a sharp
or wedge'shaped
outline to the
writing. Take
the letter "y"
f o r instance;
notice the up-
stroke, how it moves off to the right
of the downstroke without making
a loop which is'usually seen in this
letter. Also the body of the "y"
comes down sharply and goes off to
the right, giving it a very definite
wedge shaped appearance. - The
letters "4" and "r" have the sante
distinguishing features,
/This style of writing indicates an
aggressive nature, one which makes
you impatient with others in your
endeavour to get things done. You
drive yourself with all possible
'haste and become annoyed when
your plans do not materialize quick-
ly. There are good points, too,
about this style of script. It shows
that you have ambition to be suc-
cessful in any enterprise you may
undertake and that you do not tnind
competition with others as you can*
think and apt quickly and are ever
ready to take up any reasonable
challenge to show your powers of
aggressiveness.
For a brief analysis of your char-
acter send a sample of handwriting,
with a stamped, self-addressed enve-
lope, to Alex S. Arnott, 123 -18th
Street, New Toronto.

"DEAR AN,
NE HIRST: Recently
I read that column you wrote about
1 the wife who treats her husband so
well. Waking him gently, prepar-
ing his break-
fast, sending him
off in an easy
frame of mind.
That, to me, is
the ideal situaa
tion.
"I ani soon to
be married to a
girl that I think
would fit into
this picture without any trouble.
That I'm sure of, 100 per cent.
"But the boys in my office (all
married) are ridiculing me. They
paint dark and dreary pictures of
married life, and •give discouraging
stories of their own plight. All
true, they swear. They claim that
the wife you mentioned is next to
an impossibility, and that I should
take the advice of real, local and
known cases and be guided by them
—not won over by fictional stories
of utopian dreams, Will you an-
swer me?
"It is seldom I sec a man using
your column for advice. I (and
I'm not ashamed to admit it) am
an avid follower, and I am taking
advantage of your all -covering col-
umn to ask for your answer. I hope
you'll print it, so that the scoffers
(who claim to be my friends) will
unwittingly become the recipients
of -some very fine advice.

The wife and husband who
can boast of being happily mar-
ried are proud to say so, but
they seldom do. Their lives
speak for themselves. If you
doubt the value of marriage, ask
Anne Hirst about it. Write her

The Gardener
In corduroys and coat of brown
Old Joe the gardener gbes.
To wage his war on snail and slug
And tend the early rose.
He plants his flowers in ordered
rows
Like soldiers on parade
Arid seldom stops Its Daddy does
To lean upon his spade.
And now upon the spangled grass
His eager glances spy
A host of daisies, buttercups
Their faces to the sky
And tho' I begged he'd spare a few
Old Joe began to mow.
He simply shook his head and said
"Them's weeds, and weeds must
go."
But summer sun and gentle rain
Made lovely growing weather
And soon in spite of old Joe's seal
Were flowers and weeds together.
Then old Joe growled and scratched
his head
And muttered. "Well I never!
As sure as I'm a gardening man
Them weeds be powerful clever."
Andas he slowly turned his back
I thought I heard Joe sigh
And thoug-h you won't believe me
A daisy winked her eye.

LESSON
By Rev. R. Barclay .Warren
Dorcas, a Woman of Good
Works
,Acte 8:36-43.
Golden Text—Inasmuch as ye have
done it unto one of the least of-
these my brethren, ye have done it
unto me. Matt. 25:40.
People often emphasize one phase
of divine truth to the neglect of
others. One group,' conscious of
the extreme to which another ha -
gone, proceeds to the opposkiite ex-
treme.
Some have sought to earn their
way to heaven by good works. This
is contrary to Bible teaching. "A
man is not justified by the works
of the law, but by the faith of
Jesus Christ" "By grace are ye
saved through faith; and that not
of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
not of,works, lest any man should
boast." On the other hand some
have truly taught that man is saved -
by faith but have failed to urge thin
those who believe in ' Jesus Christ
should be careful to maintain good
works. Faith without' works is
dead.
Dorcas 'isan example of a Chris-
tian whose faith was demonstrated -
by good works. Her labours were not
for the sake of publicitybut for
those in need. Widows wept and
showed Peter the coats and gar-
ments
arments which she had made for them.
Peter prayed and Dorcas was re.
stored to life. This was not merely
a reward for her good works, but
one of the signs wrought by the
apostles, by which many were con-
verted to the Christian faith and
believed on the Lord
To do good works is to minister
to the needs of our fellowmen. In
doing so we are ministering to
Jesus, who said, "Inasmuch as ye
have done it unto one of the least
of these my brethren, ye have done o
it unto Me".
