POLPS
 Queen of Sheba,'' the most spec tacutar motion picture ever produc- ed comes to Poli's tomorrow night for a full week. The great William Fox super-production recently played in New York at an admission of $2.OO viewers the greatest spectacle drama produced up to the present.
 Like a thread of gold tender love story runs through this tremendously dramatic photoplay, The Queen of Sheba, the most beautiful woman the world has ever known meets, Solo' mon, king of the Jews, the wisest man in history, and there is born a TO- nance that is mellow with sweetness and tragic with the pain of unrequit- ed love.
 If the love element were all in Queen of Sheba'' it would be suffi- cient to make 1t compelling but throughout this epoch-making photo play there are scenes that Stagger the imagination and defy description. The chariot race is indeScribably thrilling. There are scenes of such magn1f1cence and grandeur, of such oriental beauty and majesty that they leave the spec tator breathless and awe-stricken. Ten thousand people were required to produce Queen of Sheba." Over 500 camels and horses were drafted for the big episodes. It took over a year to complete the play. It is altogether so vast, so prodigious, so monumental that to miss it Is like neglecting to be on hand during the progress of some great historical happening.
 During the weeks engagement of Queen of Sheba" an augmented or chestra of 20 musicians will serve spe- ciaI music. Notwithstanding the fact that Queen of Sheba'' has played to S2.00 houses, there will be no ad- vance in prices during its Pol engage ment.
 Tonight's performances will con- clude the engagement of MT. and Mrs Il~%+ I,obs and Gods Country and the Law" the gripping James Oliver Curwood story.
