POPULAR BILL
IS INSTRUCTIVE

Biblical and educational pictures
were shown at the Popular theater
last night to an audience which
should have been larger. Perhaps the
assumption that the films would lack
sensation was responsible for the
slim attendance, but when 1t becomes
generally known that the biblical film
includes a long scene where Potiphars
handsome wife makes ardent love TO
young Joseph, those who like the
amorously sensational may flock to
the coy playhouse.
JOSEPH spurns the lady's advances,
is cast into jail. becomes known as an
interpreter of dreams and when he
solves a difficult one for Pharaoh is
elevated to the overfordshfp- of Egypt
Prior TO this, his brethren had sold
him into bondage to the Ishmaelites
and his fortunes were anything but
bright
The three reels contain story that
is simply and reyerently told, even
the Potiphar wife scene being prob
ably not exaggerated. The costuming
and pantomimic work is interesting
not only to Bible students but to those
with lesser acquaintance with the
Scriptures.
The educational films were mainly
geological and scenic A number of
birds were shown in their native habi-
tat, the moving-picture camera hav-
ing caught them in the intimacies of
hCme-life and the troubles of raising
bird-families. Also number of in
scots were shown modestly carrying
on their daily existence, innocently
unaware of the fact that they were
being exploited for filmdom Scenes
in the Madeiras, Pisa, France and
elsewhere comprised the scenic ex-
hibits. ..
Matinees are to be given today and
tomorrow, with the program running
these nights also
