New Jewish Star
Makes Premier
at Aladdin

A new Jewish star Ivan Moskive.
who has been enthusiastically termed
tie John Barrymore Of Europe"
threatens to take America by storm.
Educated in Russia, and still in his
twentics, Moskive's character acting
in his first picture, "Michael Strog-
off" in which he has the lead, has
been acclaimed as the finest piece of
work recently turned out in Europe.
The theme Of the picture concerns
itself with the revolt of the Tartars
in 1913. Moskive plays the role of the
courier, who communicates with the
Tsar's brother 5000 miles away from
the Russian headquarters after all
the lines of communication have been
cut of by the Tartars; and the film
depicts his many adventures through
the hostile territory. The play is
taken from Jules Verne's novel,
Michael Strogoff." The first show
ing at the Aladdin is November 13.
Most of the scenes were actually
taken on the Volga river, and the old
methods Of river transportation are
faithfully preserved throughout the
picture. The fight on the Volga be-
tween the Khan of Tartary and the
Tsar's forces is one of the outstanding
scenes in the play.
Probably the finest piece of work
in the whole film is the fete to the
Khan of Tartary, which sets forth in
lavish detail the customs and life Of
the Tartars. In it is displayed the
barbaric splendor of Tartar customs; /;
the slave dances, and the great tent
cities. f.
The stage presentations for this
Premier showing will be in harmony
with the. theme of the picture. Geor-
gia Lane will be featured in Russian
dances, and Dahl's Arabian knights
orchestra will feature, "The Boatman
on the Volga."

BUILDER" OF
CITY WITHOUT
JEWS KILLED

Hugo Bettauer, noted American
novelist, wrote novel called "The
City Without jews" and received a
fatal bullet as royalty on his volume
He constructed a huge metropolitan
city from which every single Jew had
been expelled. He raised the curtain
behind which this hundred per cent
Christian city worked and played. He
took his readers to the stock ex.
change, the theatre, the great depart
ment stores, the night locales, the mid
die class home, the Federal Govern
ment halls, the cafes. Three months
after the publication of this fantastic
novel, Hugo Bettauer was assassin
ated by jealous twenty-year old
"Nordic."
"The City Without Jews" is inaug-
urated when the national assembly
passes a law expelling all Jews from
the country. Not only Jews and con
verted Jews must leave, but also those
of Jewish origin = that is, the chill
dren of mixed marriages. In this
Utopian novel the law, which the most
