THE JACKSON PROGRESS ARGUS. JACKSON, GEORGIA
Miscellany
After dedication of new Method
ist hymnals, first song to be chosen
was “All Hail the Power,” sung by
the congregation on Sabbath morn
ing of January 12, 1941.
If it follows precedent, this hym
nal will be used in the Methodist
rituals for the next forty years. It
is already some five years off the
press, Jackson being a little late to
adopt.
The new hymnal is as good as the
one now being discarded. No bet
ter; but to say “as good” is to
praise. It is more in keeping with
the times, having several prayer
songs for aviation, one the tune of
which is suitably named “Byrd.”
Already a half dozen songs have
attained some height of popularity:
Fosdick’s “God of Grace and God
“Are Ye Able,” Netherland Folk
of Glory,” Sibelius’s “Finlandia,”
Song, and Sicilian Hymn.
The old book contained some 121
hymns by Charles Wesley; the new
has only 56. John Wesley had 19
in the old; only 7 in the new. Au
thor of most tunes in the new book
is Mason Lowell, he who is histori
cally known as the “father of pub
lic school music.”
Great composers to be found in
the new hymnal are: Bach, Bee
thoven, Brahms, Gottschalk, Gou
nod, Handel, Haydn, Schumann,
Sibelius.
There is nothing by Richard Wag
ner. Or Strauss.
Somewhere in the book one can
sing sacred words to Brahm’s lulla
by. Is that an accommodative ad
mission that at times pillars WILL
be sleepers? 4
If you listened to the Talmadge
inaugural and have the school
teacher mind, your grammatical
niceties may have been once or
twice violated. For Governor Tal
madge simply WILL burst the bonds
of elemental grammar. Perhaps he
does it purposely, just to be down
with the common man.
But even if his grammarian sur
faces are not polished, he knows
things far deeper than rules for
the objective case. He knows law.
He knows finance. Better than that,
he knows folks. And best of all",
he loves folks. Is equally at home
with the president and the plowman.
And seems to prefer the plowman.
Language is to thoughts as
clothes to a man. It’s what is in
side that signifies.

At The Dixie
“COMING ROUND THE MOUN
TAIN,” "DULCY,” "THE MARK
OF ZORRO,” “GIRL FROM
GOD’S COUNTRY” AT DIXIE
“Land of the Six Guns” starring
Jack Randall with Louise Stanley,
a stirring drama of border bad men,
and “Girl From God’s Country,”
with Chester Morris, Jane Wyatt,
and Charles Bickford, a saga of the
frozen North, make up the double
feature program at the Dixie Sat
urday.
Monday and Tuesday, “Cornin’
Round the Mountain,” a high and
rowdy film of the antique antics
of the hillbillies, starring America’s
No. 1 hillbilly, Bob Burns, will be
shown. In addition to Bob, Una
Merkel, Jerry Colonna, Don Wil
son, and Pat Barrett will be cavort
ing for laughs. The picture is done
in true hillbilly style and introduces
anew and hilarious feud between
the Blowers and the Beagles which
is destined to become almost as well
known as the celebrated Hatfield-
McCoy festivities.
Wednesday brings “Dulcy,” a de
lightful delirium depicting a daffy
dame—Dulcy—who has good ideas
but whose faculty for running oth
er people’s affairs get them as well
as herself into hilarious difficulties.
Ann Sothern, as Dufcy, is captivat
ing and ably supported by lan Hun
ter, Roland Young, Reginald Gar
diner, and Billie Burke. The story
deals with Dulcy’s efforts to sell
an airplane motor to the father of
her brother’s fiancee, but in so do
ing she almost wrecks three roman
ces, including her own.
Tyronne Power will be seen
Thursday and Friday in “The Mark
of Zorro,” with Linda Darnell, Ba
sil Rathbone and Gale Sondergard,
a surging thriller of the old West
when it was at its worst. If it’s
action you like, don’t miss “The
Mark of Zorro.”
