DeMille’s production, ““The King of Kings," was cordial- ly received at the Coliseum The- ater last night. The picture justi- fies all the praise it has evoked. :The feeling of the spectators was reverent delight. Awesome scenes +Of Christ’s persecution and suffer- 'ing drew tears of sympathy but in the last fifteen minutes the joy of those who beheld the Risen Lord and received His message Wwas shared in by all. Never in the showing of historical plays are the theatregoers so completely uplifted by transcendent emotion as in this viewing of “The King of Kings.” The various biblical characters in the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luk: and John, are easily recognizable.

The code of the underworld is fairly elast! But there is one offence for which, regardless of the circums:ances, the punishment is always death, a death that comes swifter than almost any other man- made retribution. That offence is known as “squealing.” It is gen- erally believed that it cost the life of Dot King, gay beauty of the Great White Way, six years ago. And now the police are proceeding on the theory that it may supply the motive for the mysterious death of yat another butterfly, Mrs Aurclia Fischer Dreyfus, who was killed by a fall from the bal- cony of the fashionable Potomac Boat Club, at the conclusion of a dance held there on October 20 last.
