TEMPLETO SHOW
 LONG-RUN PLAY

Now comes picture version from the William Fox studios which promises to equal the book and the play in its run for popular approval. The pcture opens Monday at the Temple.
 George O'Brien in the title role es- tablishes himself for all time as a young screen actor to be considered. Dorothy Mackaill also walks into the ranks of stardom clad as dance hall girl from San Francisco's old Barbary coast. Others in the company are cast with exceptional fidelity to the charac- ters they portray and their work is without a serious flaw at any point in the picture. Emmett Flynn, who di- rected. may place another feather in his we'll decorated hat immediately.
 The story tells of wealthy young re'er-do-well, the son of New York millionaire, who is spoiled by his lack of nothing excepting will power. He goes to the dogs and to San Francisco thence to Shanghai and the devil. His inborn first rateness coupled with the love of a girl, pull him back from the brink eventually, but not until he has lived life which makes one of the best pictures ever filmed. ..

FILM CLASSIC
 AT JEFFERSON
De Miles 5Oth Para mount Picture Demon
 strates Growth

Interesting as a record of movie la bors extraordinary is the fact of ''The Ten Commandments" being Cecil B. De Miles >fiftieth picture for Paramount The completion of the spectacle in Cal ifornia nearly coincided with the com pletion of his first, ten years as Lasky director general, a service which was immediately renewed by a new long term contract.
 De Mile started operations on '"The Call of the North" for the Lasky forces back in 1913. The first studio was a Hollywood horse barn, and the first "set" was built on small outdoor stage From this primitive beginning grew the great west coast plant which at the peak of activity uses dozen stages and sometimes thousands of players. The great success of his third picture, "The Cheat" with Fannie Ward and Sessue Hayakawa, set him and Jesse l.. Lasky on the road to for tune. Practically throughout the entire Hollywood era Cecil De Mile has had the valued assistance of Jeanie Mac pherson, one of the Big Three" of the women scenario writers.
 It was Miss Macpherson who wrote the scenario story of "The Ten Com mandments" after a popular theme con- test (to which there were more than 30,000 replies) had suggested the basic idea of building a story around the Eternal Law. Mir. De Mile took the spectacular parts of the picture at Guadaloupe, Cal, and the much dis cussed scenes of the miraculous part the aid of his technical expert, Roy J. Pcmeroy. More than 5000 actors worked in the production, and there was another army of people employed in the mechanical activities. Mir. De Miles 'golden jubilee" picture opens at the Jefferson all week, commencing Monday. December %.

NEGROES SLAIN
 BY GUN WIELDERS
Mystery Surrounds Shooting Of
 Second

Two negroes were killed early We'd nesday morning. One was killed in an affray and the second was found mys- teriously slain near the Southern rail way tracks.
 Henry Studemier, 707 Sarah avenue, was shot to death by Boss Train, in a house on Thirteenth street between Sev- enth and Eighth avenue, according to police reports. Train escaped.
 Zeke Hicks, 4710 First avenue, was found on the Southern tracks near Forty-seventh street with two bullet wounds in the jaw and one in the fore arm. Police think he was killed by a special agent who fired into the dark and did not know of hitting his quarry. Their theory is based on a half filled sack of coal found beside the negro.
