"THE QUEEN OF SHEBA. :"

The great part tho Queen OF Sheba
played IN the life OF King Solomon
is not only matter of historical
record. but also OF Oriental legend.
according to Virginia Tracy author
OF the story on which Queen Of
sheba." the big photoplay spectacle
that is to be at the Majestic theatre
next week is based.
Throughout the East a hundred
legends and traditions mostly un-
written. keep alive the memory Of
the great queen who came from the
south and won Solomon's heart. Her
fame in Asia is beyond that of Gle
opatra and that OF Helen OF Troy. in
spite OF the fact that Cleopatra had
Shakespeare and Helen had Homer
20 sing their praises. while Sheba's
love never until now has been inn
mortalized in the written word.
Yet for proof OF her strong In
fiuence on King Solomon, and
through him, probably on the whole
course of history, one must turn
to the songs Of Solomon. which,
according to commentators. contain
many UirNAkiN MlANn NHlA AAANA NAAg
to the Queen OF Sheba.
II is true that a strong school or
thought holds in these poems. which
from the collection known as the
Songs Of Solomon. The king used
his love for Sheba as a religious
symbol but they contain every in
dication that they were written by
man wto had experienced the
deepest OF human emotions.
1t IS also undoubtedly true that
the Songs OF Solomon were written
soon after the visit OF the Queen OF
Sheba to Solomon's kingdom.
Dazzied by her beauty and the mag
nificence OF her retinue. Solomon
descended from his throne 20 greet
the Queen, who had journeyed
across the desert to gaze upon his
glory and hear his wisdom.
