An enjoyable program is offered ut

revueS in recent years. his latest
efforts being in Elsie Janis puzzles

in vaudeville and his offering is en-
titled Getting Il Ticket by Eddie
Cantor. an up-tu-date sketch dealing
with the universal battle of the motor
ist and the policeman. The first part
is devoted To Il movie. showing Hussey
as IL trial boxer for Il middleweight
champion. and its fun is continuous.
Then follows his experiences with the
motor cop, with u sharp exchange of
repa rtee that carries II laugh in every
sentence. Jimmy finally sells the
auto to the cop tor 500 as the curtain
comes down. In response to prolonged
applause, IIuSScy winds up with three
new songs that go over with the usual
bans.
Another funny act is presented by
Jack AiCLallan. With sarah and

came his strength.
THE Blackbird" is no ordinary
character sketch. It Is q classic, and
affords screen devotees @ welcome
relief from the trite plots which too
frequently clutter up the projection
room.
To reveal the story might detract
from the pleasure OF those who have
not seen the show. Suffice 1t to say
that Lon CLANCY is seen in one of
his superb moments, and he plays
''in his own face" One Of the inter
esting features Of his performance
Is his lightning-lil Transformation
from the desperate criminal to the
benign, pain -wracked bishop. His
ability to distort his body with mi
raculous ease is no more to be mar
veled at than his amazing change of
facial expression.

TWO ANCIENT JUDEAN HOLIDAYS
OCCUR WITHIN THE COMING WEEK

Jazz, but 1t happened many centuries
before the common era, when the Jews
were an agricultural people and most
of their holidays rotated around their
crops and harvest. ,''''
The difference between the ancient
Judean fiapper and the modern Jazz
hound is at once apparent from their
mode of celebrating. All the girls, poor
or rich, had to be dressed in white at
that day. Furthermore, the custom
was that all the girls had to borrow
the white dresses for that day, so that
the poor girl would not be ashamed to
borrow hers. What beauty. modesty
and thankfulness IL expressed in the
ancient holiday Of Judea.
There were many songs composed for
that occasion. The following song sung
by the girls while whirling in their
dance is characteristic:
"Young lad, young lad, lift thy eyes
and look at me"
Charm is often deceitful, beauty is
often vain, but the women that has
God in her heart is to be praised"
So the boys and birls danced and
froliced till late at night. vigor, hap
piness, and modesty pulsated in the life
OF Ancient Judea.
The holiday has been abandoned by
the Jews since they left Palestine.
Where certainly could be no place for
such fetes in the dark and dirty Ghettos
1T is being revived with all its pomp
and glory among the young cOlonists
in modern Palestine. The boys and
girls dressed in white and blue, each
plant tree on that day and with
dance and song spend the day on open
] fields till late in the evening.
