"JAA AND THE BEtN STALK"
At THE ROYAL THEATRE TODAY

The huge spectacular production
was eight months in the making,
amidst the vast reaches of the Cali
fornia mountains and forests, and in
Old and New Mexico and Hawaii. 1t
cost over 100000, and is directed by
C. M. and S. A. Franklin.
Over 1900 children, boys and girls,
took part in the Fairy Village, as viii
layers and kings retainers. 1t is the
most wonderful aggregation of juve-
nile performers ever gathered togeth-
er before in any motion picture.
The average age Of the children is
five years. Special trains were run
from Los Angeles to point fifty
niles away, in the mountains, every
day for many weeks, carrying the
child performers. On the train Is
makeup men worked feverishly pre-
pairing the children for the scenes.
Some of them wore white hair and
long boards to represent old people of
the kings village.
J. M. Tarver, who played the giant,
is the biggest man in the world. He
is eight feet six inches high and
weighs proportionately. When he was
carried across the continent to Cali
fornia, large box car was raade over
especially for his travelling home. A
special bed was prepared for him, and
he had a special staff of chefs and
Wallets.
The giant, in one scene of "Jack and
the Bean Stalk" practically destroys
4 whole village by the simple expe-
dent of overturning the houses by a
push of his hand.
Special sets of scenery, far apart in
proportion, had to be made for the
new production, bed scarcely four
feet long, chairs about foot high,
with tiny tables, were made for the
dddies. The giants table is FIVE feet
nigh, and his chair requires a step
adder to enable the juveniles to reach
+he seat.
"Jack and the Bean Stalk" is the
biggest and most stupendous picture
spectacle of modern times.

EVANGELIST RAY TAKES
HIS CONGREGATION FISHING

Evangelist Ray spoke to the largest
congregation we have had last night.
He took them fishing. His text was
Matt. 13:47-4S: "The kingdom of
heaven is like unto a net, that was
cast into the sea, and gathered of ev-
cry kind: which, when it was full, they
drew to shore, and sat down, and gath
cred the good into vessels, but cast
the bad away"
He showed that he is a master in
drawing the net.
The message was to the church, al
though the outsiders were not left out.
He prefaced his sermon with these
remarks:
The home is older than the church..
Therefore the trouble with the world
today is not with the church, but is
With the home. The family altar has
died out.
Too many men are paying more at
tentlon to other mems wives than to
their own.
DR.. Ray has the happy faculty of
pouring on blisterng truths and make
you feel good while he is doing it.
Evangelist Ray is one of the most
graphic and oralistic preachers extant
He flaws you alive and tacks your
hide on the wall and you will laugh
while the act is on. His ready wit
flows like river.
While the great trouble is with the
world, yet the church has her troubles
The evangelist made seven drags will
The net. First, he caught moccasin
which represents the crooked man il
the church, crooked enough to hide
behind a corkscrew; Second, he drew
out bull frog. This is the person
who hops around, hops from first one
