"THE LOVES OF PHARAOH"
MOST GIGANTIC PICTURE
PRODUCTION OF DECADE
(Reported by Press Agent
Plaza Theatre)

More persons are said to appear il
"The Loves of Pharaoh" than in any
other motion picture ever made. The
spectator sees 112,GOO persons in this
most tremendous production directed
by Ernest Lubitsch, creator of "Pas.
sion" and Deception" When Mr.
Lubitsch announced at a luncheon in
Ne wYork, that 112,O0O persons ap-
peared in "The Loves of Pharaoh, ,
some of those who heard him were
frankly skeptical. That was far more
than were used in Passion" DE
ception" and "The Birth of a Nation
combined.
Mr.. Lubitsch turned for corrobor-
alton to his manager, Paul Davidson,
who showed a receipt from a theatri-
cal agency for its commissions for
furnishing 112,065 extras during the
filming of the Paramount picture "The
Loves of Pharaoh" which will be the
feature at the Plaza Theatre next
Monday and Tuesday.
well need $4,000 extras tomor-
row." Mr.. Lubitsch used to telephone,
and the agency delivered them f. o. b.
at the steamship landing at Lubitsch
city, where the sands of the desert
stretched as far as the eye could see
btween these reconstructed pyramids
and sphinx and temples.
The extras were paid every evening
at sundown as they filed back to the
steamship that transported them from
ancient Egypt to modern Europe. The
paymaster's record show that he
handed out wages to 112,065 persons
during the ten months of the filming.
Some of these extras, of course, ap-
pear more than once in the assembled
scenses, now as Egyptian fighting
men, again as part of the horde of in
vading Ethiopians. But members Of
the mob have so little individuality as
they sweep, like so many ants, across
the vast expanses of sand, that even
the director does not know whether a
certain swarthy Ethiopian was last
week also less swarthy Egyptian.
The problem of transporting and
feeding so many extras would in
America have been tremendous one,
because here their pay averages $3.50
a day, with meals provided by the film
company. But in Europe each player
looks after his own provender.
Director Lubitsch, standing on a
coming tower, near the cameramen,
Of which there were ten, stationed ten
lieutenants at strategic points within
the camera range. Each extra report
ed to one these lieutenants, who,
at signal from the director, started
the warriors on their brief fighting
careers before the camera.
No one who has seen the results of
the masterful Lubitsch direction in
The Loves of Pharaoh" doubts that
here are really 10000 persons in
action, or more than live in the largest
,ity of Arkansas, Connecticut, Della
ware, Florida, Idaho, Kansas, West
Virginia, or Wyoming.

BRIEF SYNOPSIS OF
''THE MICROBE OF LOVE"

In the town of anywhere lives a
number of charming young spinsters
there being only five eligible bachelors
in the place, (and these five deter
mined to remain unwed), the spinsters
see but little chance for them to over
come their husbandless condition; SO
they decide to organize club for the
sole purpose of devising ways and
means by which they may secure
mates for their lonely hearts.
"The Microbe of Love" opens with
a grand chorus of charming girls and
youthful bachelors. After their tri-
umphant flourish the spinsters begin
recital of their woes and their
hopes. Among the many schemes Of
fered, whereby they may secure hus-
bands, is that of getting them from
various mail order houses by means
of trading stamps. But upon reading
the description of the men given as
premiums, wit hthe various household
articles quoted, the hearts of the
spinsters are saddened to find them
but bargain counter lot and not a
model one among them. However,
Madame Cupid entoIs with the love
microbes and guarantees it to pune
ture the male heart just as the boil
weevil does the cotton boil. Develop
ments prove that that she knows whac
she is talking about.
Nothing could be funnler than the
little Left Over scene which will be
played between acts. They have a
meeting to discuss the awfulness of
their leftover condition, but instead
of getting sympathy they get only
roars of laughter.
The second act shows a meeting of
the Bachelors Club portraying
history of mans suffer-
ing from the time of Adam, blaming
each and everything to the mischiev-
GUS activities of woman. The initiation
of Simon Shy into the Club of Safety
will bring pleasant memories to every
secret order man present.
Mr.. Henpeck, who has been working |
double harness for some time, visits |
the bachelors and warns them against |
the spinsters scheme to lure them in
to matrimOny.
The last act is garden party where
the spinsters have invited the bache-
lors to meet Madame Cupid. Here the
hapless, hopeless, helpless bachelors
become inoculated with the microbe.
The wrecking of this club and the
of it's emmbers is too fun
ny for expression.
The climax is the wedding scene,
which is perhaps the loveliest of them
Ill, made so by the dainty little flower
girls and ribbon bearers.
Vi ,s..C.
Tague idea of what your home-talent
will do. Come and enjoy this rare
production full of wit, humor, music |
md philosophy. The plot is deft and
is lines and lyrics as bright as
and as refreshing as patter- ,
ng showers on hot dry day. It is
he kind audiences cheer and cheer j
nd go to see again and again. q

IN MEMoRIAM

In sad but loving memory of our dear
husband and father, Thomas L. Hitch
who departed this life. January 3Oth,
1922:
Had God asked us, well He knows
We would have said, Oh spare the blow
And with loving hearts would pray
God we love him let him stay
cannot forget you dear husband
Tho long may seem the years
And oft in the lonely hours,
1 wipe away my tears.
Oh God what a weight Of sorrow,
Must we the lonely ones bear;
A silent room, the empty bed,
And the lonely vacant chair.
So we'll try to still our heart ache,
And do our best to smile.
And God will let us come to you,
After little while.
Gone but not forgotten by his loving
wife and children. 1tp

LAVISH SCENES IN CECIL B. DE
MILES PRODUCTION
"MANSLAUGHTER"
(Reported by Press Agent
NiXOn's Theatre.l

'The most lavish scence since
Joan the WOman!"
That's what is said of the Roman
bacchanal recently staged by Cecil
B. De Mile for his latest Paramount
production of "Manslaughter."
Several years ago the same pro-
ducer gave to the screen his classic
tale of the Maid of Orleans. At that
time thousands of extras" clad in
the picturesque costumes of the per-
iod, were to be seen daily around the
studio and on the massive sets crea-
ted for that picture.
Since that date there have been
many huge scenes filmed at the West
Coast home of Paramount Pictures.
Hundreds and even thousands of peo-
pie have worked simultaneously be-
fore the cameras. But it remained
for Cecil B. De Mile to again set
new mark for sheer, spectacular
splendor. And he did it with the Ro-
man scenes in ''Manslaughter."
The episode, which is used to point
a powerful moral, shows Rome just
before the fall-pagan Rome with all
of its licentiousness and debauched

Mr.. Pfeifer, who is on an indefinite
leave of absence from the service, is
making the trip with the view Of
studying the conditions of the country
