She is recorded as having died one year to the day after Brigid, and shares the same feast day as the more famous abbess. Little is known of her family history. Biography. Dar Lugdach is asserted to have been St. Brigit's favourite pupil. Ultan, in his ‘Life of Brigit,’ says that Darlugdach had fallen in love, and one evening when she was to have met her lover she left the bed in | Dar Lugdach |

In her peril, she prayed to God for guidance; placed burning embers in her shoes and then put them on. ‘Thus by fire she put out fire, and by pain extinguished pain.’ She then returned to bed. St. Brigit, though apparently asleep, knew everything, but kept her silence. The next day Darlugdach told her all. St. Brigit then told her she was now safe from the fire of passion here and the fire of hell hereafter, and then she healed her feet. When St. Brigit's death approached, Darlugdach wished to die with | Dar Lugdach |

Like St. Brigit's, her day is 1 February. In the Irish Nennius, there is an impossible story of her having been an exile from Ireland and having gone to Scotland, where King Nechtain made over Abernethy to God and St. Brigit, ‘Darlugdach being present on the occasion and singing alleluia.’ Fordun places the event in the reign of Garnard Makdompnach, successor to the King Bruide, in whose time St. Columba preached to the | Dar Lugdach |

Archbishop Ussher states that Darlugdach was venerated at Frisingen in Bavaria, under the name Dardalucha, but there is no reason to suppose she laboured in that country. Dedications to Irish saints on the continent were often the result of the pious zeal of members of their community, who extolled the holiness and dignity of their patron and led their foreign adherents to expect his special favour when they established a new foundation in his honour. Such was probably the case of the people of Frisingen, according | Dar Lugdach |

1,051 | The Wages of Sin (1938 film) The Wages of Sin (1938 film) The Wages of Sin is a 1938 American drama film directed by Herman Webber and starring Constance Worth, Willy Castello, Clara Kimball Young, and Blanche Mehaffey. It was produced by Willis Kent. Cheaply made, with poor production values, it is an exploitation film made outside the Hollywood production code, dealing with topics of white slavery, prostitution and murder. Plot. The film begins with a long subtitled introduction, stating 90,000 women in the US go missing annually and suggesting many are forced by circumstances to join the “Sisterhood of Sorrow”. Marjorie Benton, who is “just | The Wages of Sin (1938 film) |

She finally goes on a night out with Florence, one of the other laundry workers, to a seedy nightclub. At the nightclub they watch some impromptu acts and Marjorie drinks alcohol and tries marijuana, which Florence does not approve of. The girls catch the eye of Tony Kilonis who insists on driving them back to Florence's. Tony warns Florence not to say anything about his reputation to Marjorie. Having been thrown out | The Wages of Sin (1938 film) |

After a few months, he tells her he wants her to entertain a gentleman at a hotel "for money". Marjorie is initially shocked. In an unusual close up shot on Tony's face, straight to camera, he threatens her and she complies. Marjorie works as a regular call girl at a hotel until exposed when she steals from a customer.

1,054 | then offers her a "long vacation" up the coast. This turns out to be at a brothel, run by madam Pearl. When Marjorie refuses to work, she is locked in her room. Tearfully, she explains to another prostitute, Roxy, that she is pregnant. If only she could tell Tony. Roxy helps her to escape. Making her way back to the city, she returns to Tony's apartment but discovers him seducing another woman with exactly the same lines he once used on her. In despair, Marjorie shoots them both.

In the lengthy nightclub scene, comedienne Jan Duggan sings "The Seashell Song", which she first sang in the 1934 W. C. Fields film "The Old Fashioned Way". Burlesque dancer Rose La Rose performs a partial striptease, until interrupted by an angry boyfriend who covers her with a table cloth. (She appears in the same clothes and in front of an identical bar room set up in "Rose la Rose, Tops in Any League", a short stag film | The Wages of Sin (1938 film) |
1,056 | ). Production. Willis Kent's main film production output was B-westerns. However, he also made a number of exploitation films, including "The Pace That Kills" (1935), "Smashing the Vice Trust" (1937) "Race Suicide" (1938) and "Mad Youth" (1940). Jeremy Geltzer suggests that like fellow exploitation filmmaker Dwain Esper, Willis Kent was able to avoid censorship by not submitting his films for censorship classification. Advance publicity was avoided because exploitation films were quickly and cheaply made, and like Esper, Kent handled his own distribution and exhibition to independent cinemas. Film screenings would be therefore often be over before municipal authorities could | The Wages of Sin (1938 film) |
1,057 | react. Eric Schaefer notes two typical features of exploitation films, also found in "The Wages of Sin." To expand the film to a marketable length, exploitation filmmakers like Kent used "padding," often setting the main characters in a nightclub, which became an excuse for a series of acts. Cut-aways at frequent intervals would show "the story characters sitting at a table rapturously enjoying themselves". In addition, Kent's films usually began with a "square-up", a statement at the beginning of the film justifying itself as a dramatic exposé of one of society's problems. Performers on exploitation films | The Wages of Sin (1938 film) |

Married for ten days in May 1937, their divorce was not finalised until December 1937. Accounts of the drawn out divorce dominated US and Australian newspapers for months. Reception. The film was never released in Australia, where Jocelyn Howarth (Constance Worth) had been an up-and-coming stage and screen actress in the early 1930s. Lon Jones, a Hollywood-based journalist writing for "The Sydney Morning Herald" commented that "it is a story | The Wages of Sin (1938 film) |
1,059 | of white slavery, and is very sordid. Constance does a fair job of acting in the picture but I doubt...(it) will help her career. She would have been wise to stay out of such a picture." In 1943, Willis Kent used sections of this film and his other exploitation films for "Confessions of a Vice Baron". In it, Willy Castello's character, about to be executed, reviews his life of crime. This is the device used to include some of the most salacious scenes from the Willis Kent Studio exploitation films. The Wages of Sin (1938 film) The Wages | The Wages of Sin (1938 film) |

Lausanne township was originally organized out of dense wilderness along an ancient Amerindian Trail, "the "Warriors' Path"" an important regional route as it connected the Susquehanna River settlements of the lower Wyoming Valley to those around Philadelphia.

The fan-shaped plain provided some of the flattest landscape terrain in the entire area, and was able to support a few small farm plots, boat building, and a lumbermill. With nascent industrialization hitting America, widespread local deforestation occurred to feed lumber mills and craft transports. Exacerbating local clearcutting was convenient river access, for the Lehigh could (at least, seasonally with preparation) support river arks.
