The Rex

Manager Shrode has great bill
for today, the Universal masterpiece
Samson" 1t is a story of the
worlds strongest man, to whom God
gave miraculous strength. There
are six wonderful reels, closely fol-
lowing the Bible story.
The film shows the anxiety of
Samson's parents for son, the
prophesy of his birth and tremendous
strength so long as he remains un-
shaver. Then the camera skips to
the period of his young manhood,
his courtship of a daughter of the
Philistines and his betrothal. On the
the way to the marriage he Stays
lion, and upon returning to the car
cass sometime later he notices that
bees have begun to hive in it. From
this circumstance he propounds a
riddle which the Philistines are I'M
able to answer until they force Sam
sons wife to find out for them. Sam
son casts off his wife. sets fire to the
fields Of the Philistines and kills
thirty men of Askelon. Then he re-
tires to cave, whence he is sought
out by an army of the Philistines
who have determined to kill him at
all costs. But Samson Stays a thous-
and of them with the jawbone of an
ass and puts the rest to flight. Later
they try to imprison him in the city
of GAIA, but he carries off the gates
of the city. Now Samson meets
Delilah who, at the instigation of
Sihon. the ruler of the Philistines,
entices from him the secret of his
great strength, shears his head and
delivers him to the soldiers who put
out his eyes and after beating him
almost to death. put him to work in
the grinding mill.
Some time later, the Philistines.
giving feast in the Temple of Dag
on. sent for the blind Samson to
make sport for them while they
Toasted. He comes. led by small
boy. In desperation at the humilia-
ton put upon him he asks the boy to
lead him to the pillars which support
the temple. Praying to the Lord 20
give him back his strength this once.
