PALACE THEATRE MATINEE
TODAY IS ‘FLOWING GOLD’
The management of the Palace
theatre ha.s announced that there
will be a special Thanksgiving-
Day matinee at the Palace this
afternoon. The picture, “Flowing
Gold,' also will show tonight and
Friday night.
The locale of the dynamic
action-drama is Texas’ great oil
fields, the sprawlng strip of
land where men ruthlessly fight
to capture flowing gold — the
rich black oil that has lain in
waiting since prehistoric time to
gush geyser-like into the air.
Against this vivid background
is painted the enthralling story
of love, peed, and high adven-
ture. John Garfield and Pat O'-
Brien are seen as itinerant oil
workers who meet and fall in
love with Frances Farmer, beau-
tiful daughter of their eccentric
prospecting employer. In a ser-
ies of swiftly-paced scenes the
pair saves the girl’s wells from
conniving rivals, and again come
to her rescue when the wells are
set aflame. The likeable trio are
well sui:ed to their parts, Gar-
field and O’Brien having had a
great deal of experience in rug-
ged, virile, roles, while Miss Farm-
er will be remembered by many
film goers as the lovely outdoor
heroine of Edna Ferber’s “Come
And Get It." a hit of several
years ago.
The eagerly-awaited film in-
cludes such names as Raymond
AValburn. Cliff Edwards, the late
Granville Bat s. J o d y Gilbert,
Tom Kennedy, and William Mar-
shall in its supporting cast.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
SERVICES
Thank-- mg Day Services are
held by lothei Chu ch,
First Cl f Christ, Sci tist
in Boston. Massachusetts, and its
branches throughout the world.
The order of service includes the
reading of a Lesson-Sermon on
the topic of “Thanksgiving.” Op-
portunity is also afforded those
present to give testimonies of
gratitude appropriate to the oc-
casion.
The Golden Text is: “Rejoice in
the Lord, ye righteous; and give
thanks at the remembrance of his
holiness" (Psalms 97,12).
Among the citations which com-
prise the Lesson-Sermon is the
following from the Bible: “Re-
joice in the Lord alway: and
again I say. Rejoice .... Be
careful for nothing; but in every
thing by prayer and supplication
with thanksgiving let your re-
quests be made known unto God”
(Phillipians 4:4,6).
The Lesson-Sermon also in-
cludes the following passage from
the Christian Science textbook,
“Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures” by Mary Baker
Eddy: “Whatever inspires with
wdsdom, Truth, or Love—be it
song, sermon, or Science—blesses
the human family wdth crumbs of
comfort from Christ’s table, feed-
ing the hungry and giving living
waters to the thirsty” (page
234).
