oo sale wD oe a sate PAGE EIGHT MANY SCENES OF RARE BEAUTY IN ‘KING OF KINGS’ Cleansing of the Temple, Trial and Crucifixion of Jesus Are Remarkable Cecil B. De Mille’s motion picture Life or Christ under the title of “The King of Kings”—a work of tremen- dous magnitude and rare beauty, which ran for many months at en- hanced prices in New York, Chicago, Boston and other cities, will be on view at the Capitol Theatre on Mon- day next. ‘ Mr: De Mille begins the story with the greater Galilean ministry 0 Jesus, makes the counter motive the opposition of Scribe and Pharisee and High Priest, and develops the first grand climax in the Cleansing of the Temple. Here arises the sec- ond opposition; the resentfulness of Judas when Jesus refuses the tem- poral Kingdom. Many Wonderful Scenes From scenes of great beauty in and around Bethany—the children in the Olive Grove and the raising of Lazarus—the action goes to the Upper Room of the Lord’s Supper and thence to the Garden of Geth- semane. This wonderful sequence is preceded by the scene when Judas bargains with Caiaphas to betray Jesus for thirty pieces of silver, and it is followed by Peter's denial of his | Lord. +i ‘The scene before the Sanhedrin is | brief. But a second ard grander climax is reached in the Trial before Pilate, the opposing factors of Good and Evil being so stoutly matched j and the apparent triumph of the| Evil so heart-breaking. The “return | of the action” is subsequent suicide of Judas, and_in the spiritual tri- umph of the Divine Sufferer on Calvary. ae Crucifixion Awe-Inspiring The third and highest dramatic climax is the crucifixion of Jesus. In it, the art of De Mille has been touched with something of the same divine fire that animated the pencils | of the “Old Masters.” Finally the acme of spiritual beauty is in the quiet and lovely denouement from the Magdalene’s strange encounter with the “gardener” whom she found to be her blessed Lord, and the final message of the manifested Savior: “Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature!” Filming Begun with Prayer Begun with prayer, the filming of the picture was most reverent. In- cidental to it were the building of vast architectural reconstructions, notably the Second Temple, the streets vf the Via Dolorosa, the jagged ravines and Hill of Calvary, the Hall of Pilate, the towers and turrets of Jerusalem. For use in the structures or in the outdoor scenes, ten thousand archaeologically correct properties were devised, bought or used. All Studios Cooperate All the California studios lent of their resources. Eminent players SN aed companies vied for the #0" As an indication of the size of the work, no fewer than 550 actors have named-character roles, thereby portraying hundreds of New Testament characters that readers of the Gospels have longed to visual- ize; while the great “ensemble” or mass scenes have enlisted as many as 5,000 men, women and children. Leai Scholars Assist De Mille The producer was fortunate in ob- taining the active cooperation of the Reverend Doctor George Reid An- drews, Chairman of the Federal Council’s Committee on Drama and Motion Pictures, and of the Rever- end Father Daniel A.

ROBERTS Baltimore—(AP)—Francis Rob- erts, 82, who claimed to be one of the first prisoners taken during the civil war, visited the scene of his incarceration during the rededica- tion of Fort McHenry as a uational shrine here recently. The aged veteran was a boy of 15 when he marched into Fort Mc- Henry shortly after the outbreak of the war. Curiosity brought him to the fort, he said, and when he had seen his fill of army life and at- tempted to leave he was pli un- der arrest and held while officers investiggted his case. Upon learn- ing that he was the son of a Bal- timore man and had come to the fort merely to see the inner workings of an army machine, he was re- leased.

Y¥., Oct. 1—(P)— Laying aside for the time being his standard as Democratic presidential candidate, Governor Smith came to Rochester to talk state politics today and found the wey, to his hotel con- ference room blocked by a huge throng of Rochester citizens who turned out to welcome him back from western fields. From the time he arrived at the depot, where a large crowd gave him @ noisy greeting, until he entered his suite at the Seneca hotel for a series of conferences with New York party leaders, the governor was the center of a widely shouting and milling cit- izenry. So dense was the crowd that it took more than half an hour to drive the nominee’s car the few blocks to the hotel. A band, fede J chiefly the “Side- walks of New York,” led the way and the governor's car was held up half a dozen times. Arriving at the hotel, the gover- nor, with difficulty, made his way to the fifth floor, and almost immed- iately began receiving political lead- ers to get the latest information on the state situation. Tonight he will address the Democratic state conven- tion, stressing particularly his de- sire that the campaign in New York be divorced from the efforts to place him in the White House. The governor declined to be drawn out on his choice for the gubernator- ial nomination. Governor Smith’s Train En Route to Rochester, N. Y., Oct. 1—(P)— Feeling fit, but anxious for a rest after his first two weeks of arduous campaign, Governor Smith ap- proached home soil today confident that his efforts in the west have-had a beneficial effect. Six formal addresses in as many states, six thousand miles of travel- ing the rails, approximately 50 per- nied bo er biehes on the rear plat- ‘orm of his special train to greet thousands of well-wishers, and a round of receptions and political conferences was a matter of history for the Democratic presidential nominee as he neared Rochester for the New York state Democratic con- This” was th is was the only engagement standing between the governor and four or five days of light activity around the executive mansion and capitol offices in Albany, which he plans to reach tomorrow night. No announcement regarding the itiner- ary for his second stumping tour is expected to be made until after he reaches the state capitol. A series of conferences with state party leaders has been planned for the nominee soon after his arrival in Rochester. He will address the con- vention there tonight on the po- litical situation in the state. Al Sums Up Tour Summarizing what he believed had been accomplished by his first two weeks’ campaigning tour, Gov- ernor Smith had this to say to news- papers: “I think I have brought home to the people all the issues I spoke about. I think I gave them some pretty good plain talk on the things that were brought up in the course of the two weeks’ travel, and I am satisfied that it was very ef- fective.” Pressed for an elaboration of his reaction, taking in the farm ques- tion, the nominee replied: “There is not anything more to be said about that. What I said about it is a mouthful.” The governor based his statement on “the large number of telegrams that keep following this train and by what I hear from the people that ‘listen in on the 8] if he thought the type of campaigning he followed had justi- fied itself,” he said: Likes ‘Low Down’ “I think the people of this coun- try are fed upon set speeches with meaningless phrases in them. There is no doubt about that.
