 The story is adapted from Richard Andres play. of the same name. It is built principally on the eXcitment ofN battle and competition among score of young gridiron heroes at col lege, but the competition is only at-. torded interest and added drama by the personal story and the touch oI sympathy for the principal character, Star of the team, about whom the events interwind and whose fate at the climax lies in the game.

ALCNAR PRESENTS
 ''QUEEN OF SHEBA"
Big Feature Picture to Be Shown Here Next
 Week

All the beauties of solomon and the beauty of the Queen of Shebp who has been handed down in traditions as one of the most entraneing women of history, are embodied in the superb picture drama, "The Queen of Sheba, :" at the Alcazar all next week. Com bited with a warm, pulsating story of love os the olden days, Is found in this remarkable photoplay the most magnificent production effort and a cast that affords the very best tal- ent of filmland.
 The story Is one of woman's wiles. In those far away times of the great Queen of Sheba woman had only the rights that she might win from man by her Vaccinations and her beauty. The ethics of what women should be afforded as her own were practically non existent, so women worked to ob- tain for herself by charm and influ- ence what she could not demand. one of the most influential. for she was one of the most beautiful women of the time, was the Queen of Sheba. It Is her love affair with King Solomon and the crossing of her fate with less Fortunate women that makes a stir ring and appealing photo narrative.
 The production of this great film masterpiece is one of the spectacular variety. IL brings the ancient Orient with all its pornp and splendor be- fore the eyes of the spectator. Chariot races. great battle scenes in which the army of the queen takes part. bal let scenes with wonderful costume ef- fects and long shots across the des- erts make this production one of pie torial beauty.
 Petty Blythe the royal and beau tiful Queen of Sheba and enaets the role fmpressively. besides showing great daring in the chariot race. Fritz Lieber, great shakespearean n actor, Is Solomon. Nell Craig is Vashti. with a number of talented stars in other roles.

ALL STAR HILL IS
 ANNOUNCER BY LOEVV'S

"All-star" means more than just group of acts or equal merit Each act must have so much merit that were it not in such select company IL would be headlined. That is the real meaning of "Ail-S Star and this is the kind of meaning that is applied to the new bill opening at Loew Bijou to- day. Five topside acts of varied en- teftainment with q screen comedy and film novelties mako up the entertain ing combination.
 Something new isn't found easily in vaudeville. but there is something new on the bill for this half. IL is Aliens Cheyenne Minstrels. Now when one thinks of mlnstrels black face, plantation melodies, the twang Of the banjo and the rattle of the bones come to mind. Aliens Cheyenne Minstrels are 6 different sort of ag gregation. They offer a picture Of cowboy life at twilight.
 Just what vaudeville is can be found cut by seeing Chamberlain and Earl, who call their act a vaudeville Menu 1t is all of that, snappy combination of varied and interesting kn.cks and knaeks. Small and Shep hard are another pair with a com bination of varied delights. They or ter laughs. melodies and songs all mixed up together entertainingly.

PAULINE FREDEnICk AT FIVE
 POINTS IN GREAT DRAMA

Pauline Frederick Is one of the greatest opponents of dramatic emo tional acting on the screen today. She is also an actress of such versatility that in her separate roles she IS hardly recognizable as the same per sonality of others. An example of the dramatic heights to which this in teresting star may reach is found in Roads of Destiny" starring Pauline Frederick at the Five Points theatre for today only.
 Motion picture devotees who ad mlre Miss Frederick in strong roles and wide contrasts will have an op- portunity to see her at her best in this drama, which is said to afford her one of her best opportunities to cut loose and act.

Grow Your Own Plant.

The habit of buying such plants as tomatoes, egg plant, pepper or any easily grown vegetable plant is bad practice. A dimes worth of any of these seeds will produce an abun- dance of plants for good size garden. In this way mistakes arc avoided as to variety and then you vii. always have number of plants to select from when conditions are just right fer transplanting. Most of the plants are too large, that are on sale, be- cause the trade demands large plants and it would be hard to convince one that small plants are far more de- sirable. For example, large cab bage plant, when reset, will not pro
 duce head much more than half the size of a smaller and younger plant of the same variety After a tomato plant passes a certain age and then
