"Gorseous" only Way to Describe
 Queen of sheba."

In keeping with all the accounts and traditions of splendor and cagnifcence attending the arrival of the Queen Of Sheba at the court of King Solomon. more than 5000 years ago. is the spectacular photodrama Queen Of Sheba. which open ed a run at the Breed theatre last night. The sensational success of this remarka- ble William Fox superspecial in it's open ing run on Broadway. New York, Is easi- lyaunderstood by all who see the picture.
 Scene after scene of extraordinary power and splsndor kept the audience gasping with surprise and admiration, and more than once cheering was heard a thing to which motion picture audiences are not prone except when profoundly stirred.
 Betty Blythe was gerally beautiful Sheba, Fritz Lieber an effective and con- vincing King Solomon, Nell Craig a dashing and fascinating Princess Vashti and other members of the notable casi gave excellent portrayals.
 AS a stupendous spectacle Queen oi Sheba Is unsurpassed. As a photoplaS presenting a great love story with th' utmost power of appeal. 1t is a dramatic triumph Of the screen. William Fox. J Gordon Edwards, the director, and al others who have had the privilege o' taking part in the production of Queen ot Sheba, or presenting it to motion picture patrons, are entitled to be congratulated heartily. Queen of Sheba will be reriem bered long after most of the screen spe eials of the season are forgotten

Two Musical Centuries in an Eveb,b,


 The concert of the Great Lakes String Quartet at the Chautauqua will be vitalIy interesting, not merely when viewed from it's absolute musical excellence. but taken from a historical and educational stand point 1t comprises an evening of rare en- joyment for the music lover as well as the layman
 During the course of the recital the listeners are transported through more than two centuries of musical develop ment, beginning back in the days of the classic School-a period which may be said to represent the time of materialism and philosophy in music. Then is intro duced that period of charm and poetry. the romantic school of the nineteenth century, when Schumann Schubert and Mendelssohn gave to the world their in- mortal works.
 One of the acknowledged works of a great master. representing a certain rnu- sieal period, is performed on every pre- gram, which in the latter part includes compositions of the modern and futurist school of today. In these latter is dis closed the trend toward tone coioring, painting, fantastic description and vivid impression.
 Many of the quaint, old-fashioned and charming melodies with which we are all familiar have been arranged Cor fhe quar- tet of strings. demonstrating in a delight full manner the beauties of the four in. struments.
 Although the program Is of the highes: artistic essence it is primarily planned tc reach the heart of every one.
