challenge by the treacherous. vashti,
who has planned to drug Sheba' S
horses. The novelty of a chariot
race between women appealed TO
Solomon and his court, and it was
just as much a novelty three thou
sand years later.
Superb craftsmanship was shown
By Betty Blythe, playing Sheba, and
Nell Craig, playing Vashti. Miss
Blythe, in particular, chosen out of
$50 applicants because of the beauty
of her face and figure, showed that
she had much beside to recommend
her.

all the time and followed the horses
and drivers all round the course.
This feature of the race scenes is
what gives them their unique thrill,
but of course the immense size and
pageantry of the arena plays its part
in the emotions of the audience.
Several races are shown. In one
of them ten chariots race abreast,
four horses to each chariot. This
gives an idea of the width of the
race course. It is $50 feet wide and
three-quarters of a mile around-an
oval 1,25O feet by 3,10O feet, sur
rounded by a wall eight feet high.
During this race, which was ar
ranged by Tom Mix, the Fox cowboy
star. one of the drivers was thrown
to the ground when a wheel came
off his chariot Another chariot bore
down upon him, and he tried to roll
out of its way. Only the quick in
telligehce of one of the horses saved
his life. 1t is often said that horse
will not Intentionally step upon a
PROSTATE man, and this one proved
it. Rearing up, it swerved away
from the fallen driver, almost up
setting it's own chariot This Incl
dent IS shown on the screen.
But the most important race, be-
cause of its bearing on the story, is
the contest between the white Ara
bian horses, driven by Sheba herself,
and the black Egyptians, driven by
Vashti. This race is the result of a

ated by the thrilling chariot
races in the William Fox
dramatic spectacle, 1.-THE Queen of
Sheba,' which has proven one of the
years big hits during its long run at
the Lyric theater in New York. 1t is
clear that J. Gordon Edwards, the
director, has struck a new note in
motion picture effects in the sensa-
tional chariot races.
Announced as a gorgeous pageant
of the East, the dramatic love story
of the most beautiful woman the
world has ever known, 1.-The Que en-
of Sheba" shows something never
before seen on a screen-a race of
blooded horses around a huge arena,
cheered on by the applause of 10000
spectators. This scene arouses such
enthusiasm that Mr. Edwards has
been congratulated on all sides.
The new and original feature of
the races, apart from the immense
size of the arena, is that the horses
and riders are shown closeup nearly
all the time. Instead of stationing
one or two cameras at a distance, to
take in the huge arena, and the TO-
600 spectators, which would have
dwarfed the gaIloping horses, the d.
rector employed a battery of panora-
mic cameras, an imprev ement on a

ups of the women's chariots coming
head-on, were made from cameras
placed in automobiles, keeping just
in front of the horses.
The Arena "set," on the days of the
races, presented an animated and
colorful scene There were at least
10000 spectators, all CARRIED in
Oriental robes. Visitors were well
coined, but were required to put on
costumes and to carry out Mr.. Ed
wards orders as to grouping. Mr..
Edwards was stationed on a high
tower an eighth of mile from the
course, communicating by telephone
with assistants at various" parts OF
the set. The direction was carried
out on a semi-n1ilitary plan, the gen.
eral signals being given by bugies
and the crowd being arranged in
groups of fifty, each under a cap
tain.
The center of interest, of course,
was the grandstand in which sat
Solomon and his court. This was
decked out with banners, streamers
and canopies. All the decorations
were Assyrian. conforming to the
plans of Richard Sibley, Mr.. Ed
wards art director.
The arena was not by any means
the most massive set of those used
in "The Queen of Sheba." The pic
ture is a spectacle from beginning to
end, the courts of Sheba and Solo
mon being shown in all their splen-
dor as a background to the dramatic
love story.

nation to offer. The notes were

Our football game between Gar
field and our school resulted in a
victory for us. The score was 81 to 0.
The fact that the Garfield boys were
short one of their players and posi-
bly, were overconfident, had its part
in their defeat. Our boys worked
hard for this game and were deserv-
ing to win if preparation had any
thing to do with it. This ends the Sc
ries of three games that were to have
been played between the two schools.
The first game resulted in a score
less tie. Garfield snatched the sec
ond game by taking us down the line
to the tune of 10 to 0. The last
game resulted in our favor, which
seems to leave the schools tied for
number of games won and lost.

MUSICIANS '-.s
APPRECIATE
MILLER PARTY
HAVE THOROUGHLY ENJOYED
TALENT OF TROY AND
FELLERS.

For the last four weeks musicians
and music-lovers of Liberal have ex-
pressed their appreciation of the gos-
pei singer and pianist of the Miller
party. 1t is entirely fitting that now,
at the close of the campaign, the
words of highest praise which are
constantly spoken, should be given
public expression.
Everyone is grateful to Rev. Miller
for bringing to Liberal such a great
musical treat as that furnished by
Mr.. Troy and Mr. Fellers.
Every evening the crowd has
pressed in at an early hour to hear
the inspiring prelude recital by Mr..
Fellers. His tone is clear and bril-
liant, his technique exceptionally
fine and his expression that which
comes from the heart of true art
list. The beautiful rendition of the
gospel hymns makes one wonder how
anybody could care for the unmusical
racket known as "jazz," when such a
rich world of real music is in exist
ence. Mr.. Fellers has won large
place in the hearts of the people Of
this community, and he will live long
in the memory of people here, not
only for his music, but also because
of the splendid Christian character
which has caused the respect, admir-
alton and confidence Of everyone he
has met.
Americas loss will be Servia's gain
when Mr.. Troy leaves the evangelistic
work in this country to enter the
field in Servia as missionary. From
the first Sunday night when his open
ing solo "open the Gates Of the Tenn
| ple," 30 impressed the crowded
house, all through the campaign, the
solos Of Mr.. Troy have added more
than attraction. to the service; the
message in song has been one Of The
deep, spiritual parts of the evening,
when the glorious voice was indeed
an instrument of God, implanting a
thought in way that could not be
forgotten, nor turned aside.
Under the able leadership of Mr..
Troy, the large chorus choir has
pleased all by the splendid singing in
the song service, and by the tender
appeal to the unsaved as they sang
softly the hymns of initiation. It is
an inspiration to sing under the d.
rection of one as competent as Mr..
Troy. The expression of everyone
is that the music during this cam
paign played an important part in the
success of the revival.
From time to time talent living
here in our city have assisted by rem
dering solos, and this large sacred
concert will be in measure a sum-
mary of the splendid music enjoyed
for the past month.
The organ and voice recital given
in the Methodist church, gave peo-
pie an opportunity to hear Mr.. Troy
at his best. This wonderful building
gives the voice perfect freedom and
every word of the beautiful songs
could be heard distinctly all over the
auditorium. The organ numbers
were beautiful and were unusually
appreciated because of the explana-
ton Mr.. Fellers gave before each
number concerning the Thought or
construction of the piece. When the
recital closed the people fingered to
express their profound enjoyment,
and Appreciation of this added treat.

GODDARD NOTES.

The main reason for the cancellation
of the Spaulding Goddard game was
the lack of another good center in the
Goddard squad besides Carroll. Mr..
Dawson received a petition from the
student body last week In this paper
the students stated that they felt the
school name ought not to be used by
any team unless the varsity team is
on the floor. After a consultation with
the coach and Representatives Of the
student body, Mr.. Dawson agreed to
cancel all games in which the. entire
varsity team canpot compete. This pol
icy viii be followed in the arrangement
Of future games.

ranged and a good time il assured all

tended to all local alumni and friends
