DeMille Thrilled by Drama

"TWo great opportunities in

version of The Ten Commandments Il"
says Cecil B. De Mile.

was made which embodied the daunt-
less spirit behind the westward move
ment of a nation. / refer to The
Covered Wagon The real grip and
power of this production Law not in
the characters portraying the prin-
cipal roles, but rather in the sense 1t
gives of a nation on the march, a
nation In the process of flux and
change.
The movement of thousands of
Americans who crossed the western
plains of the United States thrills the
imagination of all those who read
the extensive literature regarding its
various stages. But, great as it is.
this incident in the life of a modern
people pales into insignificance along
side the drama which revolves around
the life of great nation which ex-

New Cantata Completed.

The finishing touches to DR.. Deane
Shure's new cantata, Dawn in the
Desert" are now being added by Mr..
Shure. who is spending his vacation
at Silver Creek, y. Y.
The cantata will require an hour
and half for performance. The
oriental scale is used extensively in
the score. Mr.. Shure believing that
a Christmas cantata, being in an
oriental setting, should have more
than the occasional touch of the east
ern music usual in this type of work.
The words were written by Rossel
Edward Mitchell.
Included in the cantata is very
beautiful instrumental movement,
known as the Camel March" 1t has
the uneven gait of the camel well
portrayed by an irregular theme in
the bass. while the main theme is
carried out in the oriental scale. A
lullaby for women's voices Is also
included
The production here will be given
by the Mount Vernon Church choir,
both at the church and at a theater,
later to be chosen at Christmas time.
