Arthur

Arthur is a common masculine given name. Its etymology is disputed, but its popularity derives from its being the name of the legendary hero King Arthur.

Art and Artie are diminutive forms of the name. A common spelling variant used in many Slavic, Romance, and Germanic languages is Artur.

Etymology

The origin of the name Arthur remains a matter of debate. Some suggest it is derived from the Roman nomen gentile (family name) Artōrius, of obscure and contested etymology (but possibly of Messapic or Etruscan origin). Some scholars have noted that the legendary King Arthur's name only appears as Arthur, or Arturus, in early Latin Arthurian texts, never as Artōrius (although the Classical Latin Artōrius became Arturius in some Vulgar Latin dialects). However, this may not say anything about the origin of the name Arthur, as Artōrius would regularly become Art(h)ur when borrowed into Welsh.

Another possibility is that it is derived from a Brittonic patronym *Arto-rīg-ios (the root of which, *arto-rīg- "bear-king" is to be found in the Old Irish personal name Art-ri) via a Latinized form Artōrius. Less likely is the commonly proposed derivation from Welsh arth "bear" + (g)wr "man" (earlier *Arto-uiros in Brittonic); there are phonological difficulties with this theory—notably that a Brittonic compound name *Arto-uiros should produce Old Welsh *Artgur and Middle/Modern Welsh *Arthwr and not Arthur (in Welsh poetry the name is always spelled Arthur and is exclusively rhymed with words ending in -ur—never words ending in -wr—which confirms that the second element cannot be [g]wr "man").

Arthur T. Horman

Arthur T. Horman (1905 — 1964) was an American screenwriter whose career spanned from the 1930s to the end of the 1950s. During that time he wrote the stories or screenplays for over 60 films, as well as writing several pieces for television during the 1950s.

Life and career

Horman was born on September 2, 1905 in Chicago Illinois. His first foray into the film industry was providing the story for 1934's The Meanest Gal in Town, starring ZaSu Pitts and directed by Russell Mack. After the success of that film, RKO signed him to a contract, and assigned him to work with Wanda Tuchock on Grand Old Girl (1935); By 1936 he had left RKO and was signed by the Poverty Row studio, Chesterfield-Invincible. While at C-I he did such films as the 1936 crime drama The Crime Patrol, for which he wrote the story, and It Couldn't Have Happened – But It Did, a 1936 comedy-drama directed by Phil Rosen and starring Reginald Denny, for which Horman wrote both the story and the screenplay. When Maury M. Cohen closed down Invincible and signed an agreement with RKO, Horman followed him back to his old studio. Other "B"-films on which Horman worked during this period include the story and screenplay for the crime-drama Double Danger (1938), directed by Lew Landers, the screenplay for another crime-drama, My Son Is a Criminal, directed by Charles C. Coleman, which Horman received positive notices for the plot, and the story and screenplay for another Coleman film, When G-Men Step In (1938). While working at Columbia, Horman would write the screenplay for one of their Lone Wolf series, The Lone Wolf in Paris, which was the only film in the series which stars Francis Lederer in the title role.

Jesus

Jesus (/ˈdʒiːzəs/; Greek: Ἰησοῦς Iesous; 7–2 BC to AD 30–33), also referred to as Jesus of Nazareth or Jesus Christ, is the central figure of Christianity, whom the teachings of most Christian denominations hold to be the Son of God. Christians believe Jesus is the awaited Messiah (or Christ, the Anointed One) of the Old Testament.

Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that Jesus existed historically, and historians consider the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) to be the best sources for investigating the historical Jesus. Most scholars agree that Jesus was a Galilean, Jewish rabbi who preached his message orally,was baptized by John the Baptist, and was crucified by the order of the Roman Prefect Pontius Pilate. In the current mainstream view, Jesus was an apocalyptic preacher and the founder of a renewal movement within Judaism, although some prominent scholars argue that he was not apocalyptic. After Jesus' death, his followers believed he was resurrected, and the community they formed eventually became the Christian church. The widely used calendar era, abbreviated as "AD" from the Latin "Anno Domini" ("in the year of our Lord") or sometimes as "CE", is based on the birth of Jesus. His birth is celebrated annually on December 25 as a holiday known as Christmas.
