OLIVER

The grandeur and immensely OF

arly noticeable on these scenes taken
on the desert. These involve the
trip OF Sheba across the desert on
her frs, visit 20 Solomon. later her
crossing with her armies 70 20 20 his
aid and finally her return with her
little son after the child's visit 20
his fathers kingdom and his great
adventures al that court.
The picturesquely clad mounted
Arabs followers OF the Queen and
her lighting men, were all picked
trained riders. many OF them west
ern cowboys. who gave the greatest
zest 10 the dramatic dash OF Sheba 8
armies racing across the sands Of
the desert Not the least thrill in
this scene IS Sheba herself. clad iu
her picturesque suit OF armor. rid
ing In her chariot and urging the
driver OF her four Arabian horses
forward 20 the rescue of her lover.
the king.
An Arabian encampment az an
oasis IN the desert is one OF a.
striking features OF the episode
where Sheba makes her first trip
across the desert. Mounted high on
camel. followed by her en- at
arms. charioteers. and Nubian slaves
on foot. she makes camp IN a group
Of palm trees. where We're pitched

the crook companion 10 Taylor
Holmes in Smooth as SILK" coming
10 the Oliver next Saturday night.
for one performance only. declares
that Willard Mack has at least writ
ten a great play.
III tell you why" says Mike.
Because IL has a bully, good part
for me- And not only that. but
am on the stage with Mr.. Holmes
during most Of the performance.
What we don't do TO safes amt to
be done. that's all. If show bust
ness lops we can go right into a
new field OF endeavor."
Mike Donlin. as baseball fans re-
member, was one Of the greatest hit
ters baseball knew until Babe Ruth
came onto the scene. For % years
he has heen at the top or the ladder
whether 1t was in baseball or on the
stage.
He was a member Of the New
York Giants during 19O5-06. and
then retired for a season, rejoining
the team in 1908. At the close Of
the season he retired once more and
did not don the spangles again I'M
til 1911. when he was traded TO the
Boston Braves. He was always a
heavy hitter and his name is identi-
fed with baseball much the same as
Joe Jefferson's Is identified with the
theater.
For several years Mike Donlln
was a featured attraction in the vau-
deville world and on several occas-
sions he deserted the varieties for
the legitimate stage. In Smooth as
silk" he has a role written especially
for him by willard Mack his very
dear friend. II is that Of a clever
