Yemen Child Marriage – Yemen
November 2009
At ten years old, Arwa has already been married and divorced. In Yemen, where a quarter of women marry before theyre fifteen, her case has sparked a nationwide debate about child marriage.
He would ask me to bring him something and if it wasnt there, he would beat me, Arwa recalls. Her husband offered a generous dowry but before long, he became violent and abusive. Encouraged by her father, she ran away. We cannot find a good balance between the husband and the girl. It is not marriage, it is only rape! says her lawyer, who successfully campaigned for a new law to make seventeen the legal minimum age of marriage. Before Arwa’s divorce, there was no protection for child brides, with the countrys influential religious conservatives opposed to change: Islam determines the age of marriage to be when the girl is ready for intercourse, not a specific age. Until the President ratifies the new law, it could still be reversed, leaving many Yemenite girls to suffer the same fate as Arwa.

Fireman, Save My Child! – Original Trailer 1932
Joe E. Brown plays a small town fireman who is also the town’s star ballplayer–and an itinerant inventor on the side. Brown is offered a pitching contract with the St. Louis Cardinals; he accepts, reasoning that the money he’ll earn will help finance his invention. While in spring training, Brown becomes entangled with a seductive “good time girl” (Noel Francis), which severely compromises his game playing ability and also strains his relationship with his hometown sweetheart (Evalyn Knapp). On the day of the Cardinal’s World Series clincher, Brown arrives at the doorstep of the Zenith Fire Extinguishing company, which has invited Joe to demonstrate his invention, a baseball-shaped “extinguisher bomb.” A mix-up in briefcases nearly causes Brown to burn down the Zenith company, but eventually he proves the efficiency of his invention. The local fire chief then rushes Brown to the big game, where he pitches his team to victory. Though just as much a “zany inventor” comedy as a baseball yarn, Fireman Save My Child qualifies as the first of Joe E. Brown’s “baseball trilogy”, followed by 1933’s Elmer the Great and 1935’s Alibi Ike.
